Transcript

Okay, just casually sticking our fingers into a pencil sharpener here. Listen, I have definitely stuck my fingers into some questionable/regrettable places in my life. Uh, and I think at this point in my life, I might be wiser. Uh, and I have also watched Final Destination, so I just know that there's like, endless amounts of things that can just end you. Regardless of how bad I want what I want, I'm feeling confident sticking my finger inside some machine that's gonna do shit to my shit, okay? Like, and also, open up the comment section, notice there's a hell of a lot of comments about body hair here. We are focusing on nails here, okay? Don't lose the plot, okay? Like, we got the whole Cricut machine etching a cottage on our damn fingertips, okay? Now, I don't know if this is gonna replace nail artists. I've never really got my nails painted until my phase in high school, but I mean, if the end product, oh, that's kind of cute.
