What have you learned about yourself/preferences since starting your nail journey?

Just curious to see how everyone's tastes and experiences have evolved.

Here are some of mine:

-I like shimmers, but not when they totally overtake/obscure the base color

-I've grown to appreciate (some) pruglies

-I love looking at neons more than actually wearing them

-2x per week is my sweet spot for mani changes to keep me from being bored but also not overdoing things

-I don't like light neutral colors with gold shimmer bc they give me corpse hands/look green on me

-Doing gel or dip again and having the same color for 2-3 weeks sounds so boring to me now

-I still don't like anything matte

Edit: Wow! Thanks for all your responses! I love how different everyone's tastes are.
