@freyablekman omg that nail polish is awesome what brand is it?

@freyablekman I only knew about the sad/infuriating part: to detect certain narcotics
halt immer wieder: feminis-muss
@Odradek interesting. Yeah I could see that could work. But also that likely could only be used in a super controlling way.

@freyablekman they are amazing! And the story with the picture made two ladies smile over here.

@freyablekman the nails of a programmer with 20 years on the job

@freyablekman not that I know anything about it, but those are some shiny nails!
In CompSci we would say that pretty nails and physics skill are orthogonal dimensions. By which we mean that they don't affect each other.

@freyablekman jeez. Nice nails. Radioactive??!!!

Also, my physics awesomeness is not stored in my nails. So physics is also totally doable for people without fancy nails. OBVIOUSLY.
@freyablekman
AND the science behind those liquid/glass nails is awesome!
Years ago I went to a party with mostly men discussing BLAH, and some women all pretty & talking about kitchen appliances, cooking, & gardening.
Anyway, I was also sitting there, all pretty with make-up, glitter, and festive clothing, but listened instead.
The men had been staring,
One grinned: "So, what do YOU do?"
I said "Oh, I create websites with HTML, PHP, CSS, and do computer maintenance."They all got silent.

1. Studying physics (at university) means the students are adults, thus women, not girls.
2. He prefers his students to not care for their bodies?!?? Yuck!
3. Sometimes functional nails need backup/support, e.g. for playing guitar. Applied physics 101: torsion/shear forces vs plastic deformation limit.
4. Why limit physics to girls? Men and the spectrum in between are also interested!
(studied physics, high energy laser applications. male, though)

Glass / liquid nails, some use magnetic particles, they're fab. Quite the invention
-
@freyablekman Great idea. I was there in September and there was a lot less fun stuff than there used to be when I worked at CERN (I worked on Hi-Lumi LHC some years ago).
We need fun!
I mean, the men named the internet 'hyper space', try doing things like that nowadays. Bring back the fun and joy!
That being said, I suddenly remember Camilla, NASA's space chicken. -

@freyablekman The pictures of all those spectacular nail polishs in this thread are intriguing
If you don't mind the question, what keywords would I be looking for if I was looking for polish with this effect?

Any chance you wanna share how you achieved that effect? Looks absolutely amazing!! -

@freyablekman nice finish! Looks a lot like the one my partner got at this place in St Genis
-
@afewbugs hehe so true. No nasty solvents for me. But I do have a fancy particle collider
I'm a biologist and wear nail polish but I keep my nails short, so it doesn't add to material-under-nails risk.

@walsonde this is when mastodon needs all the old twitter burn memes! So true
@freyablekman im am Idiot. I meant to write that my son is wearing nail polish while studying physics.

@freyablekman My daughter wanted to follow my footsteps, and study mech engineering at Technical University Munich.
So on a girls day, some postgrad engineer decided he needed help at pouring liqiid silver into a form, on open stage. He picked her, 17 yo, a tiny build, long blonde hair, and is a bit on the endowned size of female charms. He made her dress in a protective suit that was huge on her, stand in it next to a furnace melting aluminium, for half an hour, the visor fogging, sweat pouring, and then handle 10 kgs of liquid aluminium. I bet he had fun, joking about small hands, and heavy lifting, while she was suffering the heat and the fear. The situation was as sexist as it was when I studied, 25 years earlier.
When she came home, she had decided on doing somethig less "hands-on", she then graduated in Applied Math..

@freyablekman Goodness gracious. Those nails are beautiful. [Trying to think of something related to particle physics like sleepy cat trying to understand cosmology]

@ysegrim magnet cat eye would do the trick. These are relatively simple, people do a lot fancier things by now. There are of course also youtube tutorials.
