What does the magnetic nail polish do?

Well, for one thing, it makes it much easier to dig your keys out of your purse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The cap has a magnet that pulls up the polish into the design you see. It's so cool!

That alone makes it worth the effort, ha! I watched a couple of YouTube tutorials on magnetic nail polish -- totally cool.

Wouldn't magnetic nail polish cause problems if you were working with computers?

I am telling you the twins is the worst punishment!

I think the actual magnet is just in the cap and the polish has the other.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wouldn't magnetic nail polish cause problems if you were working with computers?

No more than iron filings would. It's not magnet nail polish. It's magnetic.

Also, if they were magnets, they'd have to be very strong magnets to mess with a computer, or even a credit card.

Hawaiian shirts came up in another thread. I have one, which I really like. It's pretty simple--it's a dark/orange red with large beige hibiscuses in a stencil-like pattern on it.

A few years ago (hell, a decade now), I was dressing for the evening with a guy with whom I shared an attraction, and I asked him what to wear. He said "that Hawaiian shirt with the cargo pants." I seem to recall going with the cargo pants but a tight T-shirt, but I did think it was a weird outfit for a 19 year old straight guy to ask a chick to wear.

I do remember, a couple years later, asking my father's opinion on what to wear, and he suggested the same outfit.

I totally get a father's motivation on that front, but it's always confused me that the only outfit I've ever had suggested to me to wear by a guy was that.

I can't wear the shirt without thinking of P, though.
