“Princess’s first song of the night was her single “1950,” a ballad that lets people know she’s the instrument-playing queer pop singer they’ve been waiting for.”

Were these all people who’d never heard of St. Vincent?  

While I agree that all the nooks and crannies provide ample opportunity for bacterial growth, these designs say absolutely nothing about the wearer’s hygiene habits.

Nail art has been around in some form for like, millennia. I think it’s only gotten super big in the US recently but I wouldn’t count on it going away.

OK but why get huge bobbles when you can just get someone to hand paint tiny sloths on your nails (and apply small bobbles)?

The three-dimensional jewelry pieces would drive me insane, but those tortoise shell nails are glorious.

This is one maker who sells garbage polish and is only in it to make money. There are 100s of other makers that actually care about their customers and only use safe ingredients. It’s not a huge audience, so reputation is everything and word travels fast.... Makers normally go through extensive months-long testing of…

Bingo. I'm actually surprised that this wasn't the first comment.

Because he is insane. He sees himself as some sort of nail polish genius. I keep picturing him hunched over his bathtub in his underwear stirring the polish like he’s Walter White cooking meth.

Of course I forget to link the stockists:

There are so many amazing ones. Here are a few of my favorites:

Yes it is! So many great brands! Mentality is a douche canoe! The other brands are nothing like him!!

I’m the one who was trying to be supportive over at Betty’s Beauty Bombs. I was going off of YEARS of good customer service and a reputation as trustworthy indie polish. I just couldn’t believe that overnight a company would turn in to a crazy madhouse!! I ended up renouncing my support because OH MY GAWD. I couldn’t…

I am actually super surprised that this even made it to Jezebel. It’s currently a huge issue within the indie polish maker community, as well as the nail art community. I’m a blogger and this is definitely one of the bigger “scandals” that I can remember in the past few years. Thankfully, I’m not a fan of Mentality so…

“I am where Mentality has always come from. I am Mentality. I am an athlete. I am a scholar. I am a musician. I am an artist and a maker. I am also a fighter.”

YES! And it is amazing!!!
