Saw a fun little conversation on Threads but I don't have a Threads account, so I couldn't reply directly, but I sure can talk about it here!

I've been wanting to get into this for awhile, so here we go! First and foremost, I wanna say that "Emmaskies" here is really hitting the nail on the head despite having "no insider info". I don't want this post to be read as me shitting on trad pub editors or authors because that is fundamentally not what's happening.

Second, I want to say that this reply from Aaron Aceves is also spot on:

There are a lot of reviewers who think "I didn't enjoy this" means "no one edited this because if someone edited it, they would have made it something I like". As I talk about nonstop on this account, that is not a legitimate critique. However, as Aaron also mentions, rushed books are a thing that also happens.

As an author with 2 trad pub novels and 2 trad pub anthologies (all with HarperCollins, the 2nd largest trad publisher in the country), let me tell you that if you think books seem less edited lately, you are not making that up! It's true! Obviously, there are still a sizeable number of books that are being edited well, but something I was talking about before is that you can't really know that from picking it up. Unlike where you can generally tell an indie book will be poorly edited if the cover art is unprofessional or there are typoes all over the cover copy, trad is broken up into different departments, so even if editorial was too overworked to get a decent edit letter churned out, that doesn't mean marketing will be weak.

One person said that some publishers put more money into marketing than editorial and that's why this is happening, but I fundamentally disagree because many of these books that are getting rushed out are not getting a whole lot by way of marketing either! And I will say that I think most authors are afraid to admit if their book was rushed out or poorly edited because they don't want to sabotage their books, but guess what? I'm fucking shameless. Café Con Lychee was a rush job! That book was poorly edited! And it shows! Where Meet Cute Diary got 3 drafts from me and my beta readers, another 2 drafts with me and my agent, and then another 2 drafts with me and my editor, Café Con Lychee got a *single* concrete edit round with my editor after I turned in what was essentially a first draft. I had *three weeks* to rewrite the book before we went to copy edits. And the thing is, this wasn't my fault. I knew the book needed more work, but I wasn't allowed more time with it. My editor was so overworked, she was emailing me my edit letter at 1am. The publisher didn't care if the book was good, and then they were upset that its sales weren't as high at MCD's, but bffr. A book that doesn't live up to its potential is not going to sell at the same rate as one that does!

And this may sound like a fluke, but it's not. I'm not naming names because this is a deeply personal thing to share, but I have heard from *many* authors who were not happy with their second books. Not because they didn't love the story but because they felt so rushed either with their initial drafts or their edits that they didn't feel like it lived up to their potential. I also know of authors who demanded extra time because they knew their books weren't there yet only to face big backlash from their publisher or agent.

I literally cannot stress to you enough that publisher's *do not give a fuck* about how good their products are. If they can trick you into buying a poorly edited book with an AI cover that they undercut the author for, that is *better* than wasting time and money paying authors and editors to put together a quality product. And that's before we get into the blatant abuse that happens at these publishers and why there have been mass exoduses from Big 5 publishers lately.

There's also a problem where publishers do not value their experienced staff. They're laying off so many skilled, dedicated, long-term committed editors like their work never meant anything. And as someone who did freelance sensitivity reading for the Big 5, I can tell you that the way they treat freelancers is *also* abysmal. I was almost always given half the time I asked for and paid at less than *half* of my general going rate. Authors publishing out of their own pockets could afford my rate, but apparently multi-billion dollar corporations couldn't. Copy edits and proofreads are often handled by freelancers, meaning these are people who aren't familiar with the author's voice and often give feedback that doesn't account for that, plus they're not people who are gonna be as invested in the book, even before the bad payment and ridiculous timelines.

So, anyway, 1. go easy on authors and editors when you can. Most of us have 0 say in being in this position and authors who are in breech of their contract by refusing to turn in a book on time can face major legal and financial ramifications. 2. Know that this isn't in your head. If you disagree with the choices a book makes, that's probably just a disagreement, but if you feel like it had so much potential but just *didn't reach it*, that's likely because the author didn't have time to revise it or the editor didn't have time to give the sort of thorough edits it needed. 3. READ INDIE!!! Find the indie authors putting in the work the Big 5's won't do and support them! Stop counting on exploitative mega-corporations to do work they have no intention of doing.

Finally, to all my readers who read Café Con Lychee and loved it, thank you. I love y'all, and I appreciate y'all, and I really wish I'd been given the chance to give y'all the book you deserved. I hope I can make it up to you in 2025.

Fizzarolli

── ˙•˚∘✮🌙ᯓ🪐˙•˚∘ ──

You in the market for a sweet n’ sassy performer? Fizzarolli is the one for you! My man lives for being dramatic, although he doesn’t always need to be the center of attention. Fizz is more than happy to share the spotlight~.

Shenanigans is the word that best describes this relationship. Fizz will play harmless pranks and playfully tease you constantly. A lot of the time, he’s filming too (but won’t post it to his socials if you don’t want him to). Of course there are times when you'll need space, and in those cases, Fizz just goes to bother Blitzø.

Speaking of- Hangouts with Blitzø are pretty frequent. I hope you can tolerate threesome jokes, because Blitzø will make them. Most of the time, the two bicker with each other, with Fizzarolli relying on you for backup.

One of his favorite activities is singing with you! Doesn't matter if you're good or not- Fizz just loves the thrill of singing along to your favorite songs together.

On that same note (hehe), Fizz loves solos (watching and performing). So whether it's you cheering him on or vice versa, taking a moment to feel like a rockstar does wonders for your self-esteem.

Fizz will often do this thing where he pretends something is a microphone, and he'll act as if you're a celebrity on the red carpet. It's a fun way for Fizz to flirt with you; complimenting your outfit, hair, accessories, etc.

loves pampering you (and himself), so expect lots of self-care supplies to take over your bathroom. Nail polish, cuticle oil, face masks, scented lotions- you name it, he probably has it.

I imagine Fizz suffers from some chronic pain due to his scars and injuries. I also think that his skin is super sensitive because of the burn scars. I also think because of that, he'd be very particular about the skin care products he picks out.

In the beginning of your relationship, Fizz will have lots of reservations regarding physicality. His main concern is that the texture of his burns, and the scars themselves will freak you out, and you won't find him attractive.

Later on, when he's more comfortable, Fizz loves cuddling - though, if you have any boundaries surrounding physicality, he'll adhere to them. If not, be ready to have him hanging on you all the time. A robotic limb draped across your shoulders, his head leaned against yours, a hand caressing your back, fingers tracing your palms- Fizz just loves being in contact with you.

spontaneity, impulsivity, and creativity- the lethal trifecta. Fizz’s mind almost never stops. Some days, he’ll be brimming with ideas, songs, comedy bits- others. Others, his mind is racing with insecurities, and overwhelmed by the need to do everything at once. He has the tendency to bounce from one task to another, so sometimes, you’ll find half the laundry folded, the dishes clean, but not dry, or hastily written reminders on post-it notes scattered on counter tops and mirrors.

He tries not to show them often, but Fizz has a lot of insecurities. They range from him not being attractive enough to full-on crises regarding his self-worth. If you struggle with the same issues, you both can be pillars for each other, offering comfort and support when needed. Regardless, comfort and reassurance are very important to Fizzarolli, and they play a big role in the relationship.

Family Sins - One Shot || Modern!Aemond Targaryen x Reader

Paring: Reader x Aemond Targaryen.

Summary: Every Thursday afternoon you and Aemond meet, even if you have to pay for his family's sins.

Tags: Alternate Universe/ Emotional Hurt/Angst/ Drama & Romance/ Eventual Smut.

Warnings: I am just sad. This is the best I can write these days.

Author´s note:  Pls, enjoy! Feedback, shares and comments are always welcome!

Word Count: 4.2 K

You were soaked to the skin. All your clothes were loose. But, you were still pretty. It was all Aemond could think when he saw you walking through the aisles of that roadside gas station. He followed you with his eye while you consulted the prices of a small cocoa bun. Your black sweatshirt was soaked all over while your damp hair was tied up in a ragged bun. Your black-painted nails grazed some of the price signs as you put the small dessert back in its place and grabbed a cheaper one. You smiled at him as he followed you closely and he picked up the same product that you had left in its place. You didn't talk, Aemond wasn't given to too many words and you were tired from the rain. But, storms always made you happy. It was something Aemond could never understand, but he shared with you.

Outside, at that small gas station in the middle of the forest, it was still raining. Only Aemond's gray Mercedes and the old bicycle that your mother had given you two birthdays ago were parked at the door. You always pedaled five kilometers to meet Aemond. Every Thursday afternoon. He came directly from the city and was waiting for you, drinking a coffee that he always considered awful while you arrived. He always thought he could go find you. Pick you up at the door of your house and take you to a better place. But, that would have been giving you greater importance than you really should have for him. Although, you had driven him crazy. That was all he could think every time he saw you arrive at that place on your bicycle. In summer you always arrived with your short shorts, in winter with your military boots.

On that rainy autumn afternoon, you arrived with that huge black sweatshirt that must have been borrowed, courtesy of your older brother, surely. Or that was what Aemond thought as he followed you through that small commissary that the gas station had. The idea that that sweatshirt belonged to a man other than your brother drove him crazy, so he preferred to think that it belonged to your brother. It made things easier for him. You looked at a series of cookies one last time and left them in their place.

Aemond continued to follow you at a safe distance. You looked at him out of the corner of your eye while you laughed. The two of them alone in that place. Thus, things seemed easier than they really were. Everything was simpler when you were alone.

You walked up to the register and opened the small cloth bag hanging from your back. You took out that cat-shaped purse that Aemond had bought you at a market in Flea Bottom. Also soaked, you opened it, careful not to break it while you counted the coins that that strawberry bun that you had left on the counter cost. Right behind you, Aemond also placed the cocoa puff you had chosen earlier and took the elegant black leather wallet out of his pants. Unlike you, he wasn't wet. His hair was immaculate and his clothes looked as always, well ironed and freshly washed. That black turtleneck sweater he was wearing that day, you knew, cost the same as what it took to eat at home for a whole week.

“Give me a pack of Lucky Strike too,” he said diligently as the cashier looked you up and down. Aemond also dropped a package of condoms on the counter and you blushed while he simply prepared to pay with his credit card. Two small buns. A pack of tobacco. A package of condoms…

Rob, the cashier, looked over his shoulder at you as he charged Aemond for that purchase. He was your neighbor and you were sure that he knew what you and Aemond were going to do that rainy afternoon. You left the store with the strawberry muffin even before Aemond finished paying, although it was clear that you preferred the chocolate one.

He looked at you through the huge glass doors of that gas station and wondered if it wasn't better to give you the treatment you deserved. However, he simply took the condoms and tobacco in one hand, that chocolate bun in the other and went outside. The water continued to fall hard and you were leaning against the door frame. It fell so hard from the ledge that it soaked your torn canvas sneakers, even though the rest of your body was trying to regain heat. Aemond gave you the cocoa puff and you reluctantly took it. You knew what awaited you at home that night because of that simple gesture that was intended to be kind on Aemond's part.

“I could have bought it,” you said without much encouragement, taking down your backpack from your back and putting the condoms and both buns in it. You looked at Aemond, who remained stoic and unfazed as always.

“You would have bought the strawberry one because it's the only thing you can afford and because you need to eat something,” he responded, shrugging his shoulders and opening the packet of tobacco. “This way you will eat something you like,” he said out loud, making the difference between him and you evident: he always paid with a credit card, it seemed like his money was created out of nowhere. You always carried coins in your bag and you never bought what you wanted because you simply didn't have the money for it.

“I guess,” you answered, not daring to look at him. Aemond approached you and finally kissed you. All of his slim, slender body against yours. The height difference was considerable. He just grabbed your face in his hands, his lips making contact with yours in a sweet and passionate way. You held his wrists, as if you always needed an anchor to the ground every time he kissed you. That kiss, surrounded by the storm, was observed under the disapproving gaze of that gas station cashier in the middle of nowhere. The rain threatened to soak you, but you didn't care.

As always, in the middle of all your kisses, Aemond opened his only eye, almost wanting to check that you were real, and not a simple fantasy of his imagination. He always slowly closed his eye again as your lips continued to crash against each other.

At the end of that silent kiss, Aemond took your hand, without looking back, and opened the passenger door for you in the rain. You quickly got into the car and Aemond ran to the driver's seat in the rain. You saw how his hair had now become wavy and he gave a half smile when he saw how you smiled silently, tiredly resting your head on the seat. “I could take the bike and put it in the trunk. Take you home after the motel,” he confessed, not daring to look at you. At that moment, he wanted to go further with you, beyond what he wanted to admit.

"No, do not worry. Then just leave me here and go. I’ll go home from here on the bike,” you told him, not daring to look at him either. You grabbed one of the wet, unruly strands covering your face and tucked it behind your ear. “I don't want my parents to know where I've been this afternoon,” you confessed dejectedly. You knew they would find out before nightfall, just when Rob walked through the door of your father's bar, the nerve center of the town where you lived.

“As you wish,” Aemond responded as the engine roared just started. He turned on his car radio. It only played classical music and you wondered as always if Aemond listened to anything else or the high cultural esteem in which you knew he was held prevented him from doing so. “I bought you other sneakers,” he whispered while keeping his eyes on the road. The windshield wipers of his car moving frantically in the face of such an amount of water.

“It wasn't necessary,” you responded, biting your inner cheek. You hated that he did that. You hated that he bought you everything you needed. You knew he did it for a simple reason: to hold your meetings every Thursday afternoon. As if you were a prostitute, Aemond bought everything he thought or felt you needed. It was his way of keeping you by his side. The only language of love that seemed to know how to offer, understand… “My sneakers are fine,” you said, looking at them. Destroyed and torn. That was all they were.

“They were just on sale,” he responded, putting the issue to rest. His voice always seemed to be devoid of all emotion. Sometimes you wondered if Aemond knew how to feel anything other than indifference or anger, but you knew he did. Every Thursday afternoon he demonstrated it to you. Always in the solitude of that motel room that he reserved for a few simple hours. The radio interrupted the broadcast to talk again about another urgent environmental disaster and Aemond turned it off.

Both you and he knew it was what was going to be talked about. You could see him tense up as he drove. And you directed your body towards his, releasing the seat belt. You bit your lip hesitantly as you brought his body closer to his, one of your hands gripping his seat. The other traveled to Aemond's fly.

“Hmm” was all you heard him say as your hand slowly lowered the zipper. The metallic sound of each and every one of the teeth that made it up exploded against your ears, just like the sound of the rain in the now silent interior of that high-end car. You unbuckled his belt and your hand quickly found his cock in his pants, hard and warm, soft and firm. You bit your lip seductively as you took her out of those extremely expensive underwear. “I don't want to have to give explanations at a police checkpoint like last time,” he answered, without taking his eyes off the road. Grabbing your hand with his as the other grabbed the steering wheel. “Don't be mean to me, (Y/N),” he asked you under his breath.

“I just wanted you to relax,” you whispered sensually and he smiled again without looking at you, although you never knew if when Aemond smiled he was truly happy. You returned to your seat and watched as he quickly buttoned his pants again. “If you don't like it…” you purred and he interrupted you.

“Hmm, I didn't say that,” he repeated again, remembering the fine he had had to pay and how your cheeks had blushed the most while that police officer asked you what your relationship was and forced you to take out your ID card to verify that You were actually nineteen years old and no less. Aemond was six years older than you at the time, but he had always looked older than he really was. He remembered telling the police officer that you were a couple and how you had looked at the ground in regret as those words came out of his mouth. The following Thursday you had not shown up, nor the next one. Three weeks later you came back with a very bad-looking bump between your ribs that you promised was the result of a bad fall on the bike. He knew you had lied, but stating it out loud would have meant never seeing you again.

You finally arrived at that roadside motel and Aemond left you in the car while he went to the reception to get the keys to room thirteen, the one he reserved every Thursday. You received a message from your mother asking if you needed her to pick you up after your study hours at the library. You answered no because you were carrying the bike. You lied to her again. You turned off the phone and closed your eyes. You could understand why your parents didn't want you to see Aemond, but it really wasn't his fault…

He woke you from your thoughts as he opened the car door. You walked out next to him and he held your hand again. You ran through the rain until you reached the second floor of the motel. He clumsily opened the door and you both walked in laughing and soaked. Aemond kissed you again, closing the bedroom door behind you. Holding your face again, with no escape. Your bodies swayed together in that room that had witnessed your meetings for the last two years.

You could hear him gasp as he kissed you. You broke away from his grasp and took off your soaked sweatshirt, which fell heavy to the floor. You also took off your wet shorts and were left in your underwear. Cold and shivering, Aemond covered you with his body, though he was almost as wet as you. You took off his eye patch and he laid you on the bed.

He smiled bright and powerful, like you knew he really felt about almost everyone. He was a Targaryen. He took off his turtleneck and you could see the symbol that already named him as such. The tattoo was fresh on his skin. A green and black dragon on his shoulder. Detailed to excess and you knew it named him as someone important within the family and business, criminal and legal structure. You didn't dare ask, even though he knew you knew the meaning. Your sister had explained it to you when Aegon received his. Years ago, you had both been naïve enough to think that type of tattoo was exciting and powerful. Your sister had been a fool. You weren't on a different path.

Aemond's arms supported his entire weight as he lunged at you to kiss you. His pants though on but his belt undone. He had never been a subtle boy. He smiled at you proudly and cockily, he almost seemed to know what you were thinking. He was dying to tell you that just two days ago he had given him the tattoo, that he had stood stoically and without any emotion while it was done, but his heart had been beating strongly, as if this were finally the moment of approval that he had been waiting for all his life.

He kiss you. His lips met with strength and need. They eagerly bumped into yours. A watery sound. A pleasant shiver ran down his spine, like every time he kissed you. You knew there wouldn't be much more foreplay.

He stayed silent over you. His single eye scrutinized you while the prosthesis remained immovable in that empty eye socket. He had never told you what had happened to him. He would never do it. You had heard rumors, but... His eye continued to look at you in silence. You looked beautiful with your hair wet, all spread out against the pillow, your eyes locked on his, a half smile on your lips.

His thumb brushed your bottom lip gently. Comfortable silence reigned in that cheap motel room. The gray walls. The simple sheets. That sad blind half lowered. The complete scene of your meetings every Thursday afternoon. “I love you,” Aemond confessed in a whisper. Your eyes appeared to offer a small surprise upon hearing him. He felt your entire body stiffen under him. It was the riskiest confession he could make to you. However, he was happy. At that moment, he was happy after a long time. “I love you” he repeated again with more force, as if he wanted to reaffirm his words.

His lips found yours again and you relaxed at the attention. You were in big trouble if Aemond confessed something like that, but it was really what you wanted him to do. Confess that way, with you, and only you. He lightly bit your lower lip with a smile, trying to relax you. Your hands ran up his arms as you kissed. The hand traveling on his right shoulder tried to avoid the dragon tattoo. Aemond was beginning to follow in his older brother's footsteps... You thought, you always thought that he was not that kind of man... but, he craved power like everyone else, right?

Aemond's always skillful fingers undid your panties, removing them heavy from not only the humidity of the rain that had soaked everything. You were too. Your core throbbing and waiting for a simple contact with him. An arrogant smile appeared on his lips when he saw the small soaked grotto, as if his mere presence already activated all the keys you needed. You smiled shyly at him and he kissed you again.

Your bodies merged in an embrace that promised to be eternal. You felt Aemond's cock hard, eager for what he always got when he was with you. The bright red tip protruded through the elastic of his boxers and you licked your lips in a reflex and subconscious act that Aemond was always grateful for. Seeing your wet lips and bright eyes, he could only think that you were perfect, terribly perfect.

“I'm going to get the condoms,” you whispered, a feeling of regret running through your head, as if those words had ruined everything. The atmosphere that had existed until that moment seemed to have almost disappeared and you felt his grip loosen.

“Sure” It was all he said as he stood up and took off his pants and boxers. He didn't dare look at you because he thought that afternoon was finally the moment you would leave him... bareback. He had confessed. He had done it... and you had been taking contraceptives for a year, he had no more sexual encounters than the ones he had with you... he looked at you out of the corner of his eye, crouched down rummaging through your bag, looking for the packcage that he had bought himself. You had never talked about it, but… “I'm not my brother, you know?” He whispered, looking back ahead, not daring to look at you. “If something happened, I would…”

You interrupted him by returning to bed with a condom and leaving it between the sheets while you lay on your side and he turned to look at you. “You know we can't take risk,” you told him as he went back to the bed and grabbed the wrapper. You didn't point anything out but it always made you nervous that he would tear it with his teeth. He put it on silently and positioned himself between your legs. He looked into your eyes and, for the first time, you saw an authoritative gleam behind them, almost as if that damn tattoo had changed him.

“I'm not my brother,” he repeated again under his breath. He entered you forcefully, without breaking eye contact. Your legs surrounded your hips and you moaned at that impact with such violence that it caused his testicles to collide against the slit of your pussy. You closed your eyes and didn't say anything. The sins of his family would always be present among you.

“I'm just saying that family is destroying the town.” Old Tom was sitting at the bar while your father cleaned it. It was late, but he kept moving that old rag against the bar. His eyes filled with worry as he waited for you. He knew where you had been. He knew what you had done. He had always thought of you as a smarter girl than your sister, but it was clear that you were not.

“Once again they have polluted the river with waste from the plant,” said Clark. His mug of beer met his lips. Your father knew where you had been, Rob had told him before he went home. His face had turned gloomy just then. “Those damned Targaryens…”

Just then, all the voices fell silent in the town bar. You had just walked through the door, soaked to the skin. You had pedaled there from the gas station in the rain, even though Aemond had insisted on giving you a ride home. You couldn't let your father see you with him, although when his accusatory eyes fell on you, you knew he knew. Everyone tried to return to their previous conversation as your steps led you to the bar. There a boy with white hair painted in silence. You sat next to him and saw your sister's son painting a green dragon. You were surprised to see him there. Normally the child was always well hidden at home.

“They are just destroying lives. That's the only thing they know how to do…” Tom attacked again. Clark agreed and your father approached in silence, trying to pretend he didn't know, but he knew, of course he knew.

“Your mom had to go pick up your brother… Why don't you join Greg for dinner?” your father whispered as the four year old was still engrossed in his drawing. You scooped up the little boy, who clutched the paper in his hand as you walked up the back stairs.

Your house was on the second floor of your father's business. The metal steps creaked under your weight, but your father's eyes exerted a greater weight on you. He would never tell you anything. He hadn't told your sister before he died either, but the Targaryens had destroyed his life, the life of the people in that place... your life.

Greg stared blankly as you dressed him in his pajamas after dinner. Sitting on your bed, his purple eyes seemed empty and innocuous. It had always been like this. Consciousness never seemed to have reached that unwanted child. You ruffled his hair, almost expecting a smile, but he just fixed his eyes on you. Empty and deep. As if he knew everything and nothing at the same time. You sat down next to him and took off the new sneakers Aemond had forced you to accept.

“Today I saw a dragon,” you commented, also staring at the wall. The boy turned his head slightly. His huge eyes fixed on you. The stories you always told him seemed to be the only ones that woke him up from his lethargic state. “A green dragon, like the one you were painting,” you smiled at him and his eyes seemed to get even bigger.

Greg's real name was Aeron, courtesy of your sister and his father, Aegon Targaryen. Your sister had been stupid enough to get pregnant by that rebellious boy and die in childbirth, leaving her son alone. Your parents had wanted Aegon to keep the child, but it had been impossible. A child who was not like the others, a dragon locked in a home where they were hated. Greg. It was a much better name according to your father. Your grandfather had been called that.

The Targaryens had destroyed the town with the pollution emitted by their businesses, both legal and illegal, and your entire family. And you… you had fallen in love with one of them.

Greg ended up falling asleep with you while you waited for your mother and brother. Your father always closed the bar late, but it wasn't normal for them to take so long to come back. Something must have happened...

At midnight, the lock on the front door clicked and you went out into the hallway to see if your brother and mother were finally arriving. However, that was a big mistake.

“Be thankful they're not going to press charges,” your mother's words echoed throughout the house, no doubt she was scolding your brother. He uttered something incomprehensible in the state he was in. At the time, you didn't know it, but your older brother was in trouble with Aegon again... bloody knuckles. His lost look. The split lip. While you had made love with Aemond, Gregory had punched Aegon to death.

You stood petrified, contemplating him in silence. Just then he located you. “You're a whore who sells herself for a simple cocoa roll,” he whispered. He had never told you anything like that. He, unlike your father, had always known how to hide his anger towards you. But, that night was the one that changed everything.

“Gregory, stop it,” your mother scolded him, knowing before you what he had in mind, after all she had given birth to him… Gregory pounced on you. “Gregory!!!” your mother shouted it. His bloody nails dug into your brother's skin as he hit you while you fell to the ground.

Your father had only hit you that one time... only that one time... was all you could think as you received one blow after another. He grabbed your hair, stretched your neck, and choked you until you were unconscious... The Targaryens had destroyed everything you cared about... and the only thing you could think about was that Aemond would be angry when he saw your body full of bruises... The enormous Greg's eyes watched everything in silence. That child had only seen violence in his life.

The Targaryens always destroyed everything, and Aemond and the tattoo he now had on his shoulder were proof of that.

Inside the gold box is...

...a male grooming kit. From VoxTek.

It's got shavers (with spare razor blades), shaving cream, shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, deodorants, soap bars, hand wash, lotions, suncream, sunglasses, a sunhat, a beach towel with a picture of Valentino in a mankini, toothbrushes, toothpaste, nail clippers, and a couple of washcloths with the Triple V monogram. Quite a lot is stuffed into that box.

The accompanying brochure shares some marketing spiel:

"Many men desire to look good for their special lady. Or gentleman. Or non-binary joyfriend. That's why we at VoxTek have cultived this extra-special summer care package!

It's our little way of saying thank you for being a loyal customer/employee/target practice for Valentino [delete as applicable]. As the hot summer months roll in for those in the northern hemisphere, we want to make your stay in Hell just that little bit sunnier!

VoxTek! Trust us with your body!"

The smaller text at the bottom reads, "Additional blades, lotions, and Valentino mankini towels sold separately. VoxTek cannot and will not be held responsible for any cuts, bruises, burns, loss of limb, dry skin, rashes, rotting teeth, stomach cramps, chickenpox, decapitations, relationship breakdown, or hilariously bad hairstyles that may occur while using VoxTek products."

There's a bonus present at the bottom too - a stuffed toy deer that's covered in red paint and has loads of pins sticking into it. The tag reads,

"Angel.

Give this to Alastor. Tell him he smells like an elephant's butt.

Vox.

P.S. Val says I'm hotter than you."

Upon finding the grooming paraphernalia within, Angel was pleasantly surprised. He had half expected this to be some kind of prank, orchestrated by someone who wanted to take him down a peg or two. Of course, curiosity still outweighed the potential risk - as always. And this time, it appeared to have paid off.

Raking through the items, he unfurled the towel and was met with the image of his bikini'd boss posing seductively - and promptly rolled it back up. Yeah, Niffty could have that one for cleaning rags. Or maybe Cherri would come over and burn it with him. It would be equally fun to see the moth cut to pieces and dunked in bleach as it would be to see him burnt to cinders.

As for the... other gift. There was no way Angel was giving that to Alastor. He was 99% sure it contained some kind of camera or microphone, but he wasn't about to start squeezing the pin-laden plush to find out.

He rolled his eyes at the final message. There was no doubt in his mind that no such words had been spoken, and Vox simply wanted to use this gift as an opportunity throw shade at Angel and Alastor - his two most detested hotel residents!

Who he went to the bother of sending gifts to.

What a freak.

Birthstones: November🍂

November's birthstones, imperial topaz and citrine, are the colour of autumn leaves. Quite fitting! Let’s discuss their physical and metaphysical properties as we begin the month.

Golden Topaz

Topaz, consisting of aluminum hydroxy-fluorosilicate (Al₂(SiO₄)(F,OH)₂), displays a diverse range of colors. Imperial topaz, also called glden topaz, owes its colours to different impurites, and may also be heated or irradiated to make the colour more vivid. Topaz also exhibits pleochroism: its color alters when viewed from different angles.

Imperial topaz' golden colours are said to attracted prosperity, abundance, and luxury. It is also thought to enhance visualisation, creativity, and generosity, as well as strengthening will, promoting personal growth, and confidence in one's abilities. It benefits general health and eyesight, particularly the endocrine glands, gallbladder, liver, and kidneys.

While topaz ranks a high 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, it is easily broken due to its poor cleavage. Sudden temperature changes may also cause it to break. Its colour is generally stable in sunlight, but prolonged exposure may cause fading or yellowing. This is the case especially with irradiated crystals. Clean topaz only with warm, soapy water.

Citrine

Citrine is a type of quartz, a mineral made of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). It is made when amethyst or smoky quartz are heated up in the Earth's crust. This heating, along with the iron present in its structure, causes the yellowish colour. Natural citrine is relatively rare; most citrine on the market is heat treated amethyst or smoky quartz. The easiest tell between the two is both colour and presentation: real citrine is rarely a deep orange, nor does it come on a stark white geode.

Citrine, being yellow, is associated with the sun, providing warmth, comfort, energy, vitality, and optimism. As well, citrine is associated with imagination, personal will, creativity, and productivity. It may support interpersonal relationships, promotes problem-solving, and shields against negativity. It is thought to attract wealth, prosperity, and success, while also encouraging generosity and sharing good fortune. Citrine is believed to transmute negative energy and dissipate it while not accumulating it. Physically, Citrine boosts stamina, supports the endocrine system, aids digestion, and promotes healthy skin, nails, and hair. It is also believed to reduce depression, increase self-esteem, and aid in decision-making.

Like all quartz, citrine is a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, and due to a lack of cleavage, won't break any time soon. However, since citrine's colour is due to heat, further heat can discolour it. Sunlight as well may discolour it. Warm, soapy water is best for cleaning citrine.

[magicshopaholic]

Hi! I just recently discovered your blog and I love the concept of a universe with interweaving storylines. It's so clever and unique. I wanted to ask, since you have such a huge number of fics, which one is your favorite? I also love the idea of original characters because that's quite uncommon in this fandom but reminds me of fanfiction I used to read when I was younger. What's your inspiration for the characters? Are any of them based on you? Can't wait to read more of your work :) - 🍓

Oh, anon. This is every author's dream question, istg.

First of all, welcome! I hope you enjoy my masterlist and future fics to come. My favourite fic: tough, but I'll probably say About You. It was a deeply personal one and needed to be handled just right, but I was really happy with the end product because it established a dynamic between Namjoon and Kaya that I can't quite put into words. It's not one of my more popular works and I can understand why, but it's definitely the one I'm proudest of.

This would probably be followed by The Fifth: Part 2 and You Make Me Live (honourable mentions to Double Take and In Time).

You've nailed my reasoning for going the OC route; my favourite thing about fanfiction in the days of yore (ie the 2000s and early 2010s) was the range of OCs and the excitement of making up your own. It limits my reader base but I can't imagine writing any other way.

Inspiration - this could be a long one. The first OC I came up with was Dilara, and she was supposed to be a protagonist for an F1 fanfic series I'd started writing (yes, shocker, I used to write F1 fanfic). A lot about her was inspired by another F1 OC I'd written, Tracy McNeil (a sports journalist), including the messed up family background and the lowkey insecurity coupled with the need to prove herself. Dilara is definitely far more of a romantic than Tracy, though, and I'd largely chalk that up to the support network she has that takes care of her and allows her to lead with her heart more.

Kaya was next - she's not inspired by anyone in particular, but I was thinking of what Namjoon would be like as a partner; after long gruelling days of arguing with the company, keeping the younger members in line, dealing with pushy journos, he would come home to the most comforting person in the world with whom he would be completely different, free to be himself, vent if he needed to, and show a softer side he'd keep secret from the rest of the world.

Lia was the third and she honestly came to life when I was working with the marketing team in my company and had a shit ton of work, and she was initially my outlet. She quickly moulded to Jungkook's character, though, and the dynamic we all know and love just fell into place. She arrives at the right time to pull Jungkook out of a bit of a low phase and is the right amount of opposite of someone else.

Nari and Sooah, an unlikely pair, came together for me because of another fic I'd written for a different fandom. It was the protagonist and her best friend, the former who was a bit of a party girl and was in a very messy FWB with the male protagonist, and the latter who was her taller friend who worked all the time and fell for the unlikeliest person she could think of without even realising it.

Miso and Chae were the last two. Miso was a bit tough, and is somewhat inspired by Marianne Sheridan from Normal People, just a bit, in terms of her being a bit of a loner and rubbing people the wrong way. Don't want to give too much away, but she could've only been written opposite Yoongi.

Chae, despite being my baby, was one of the hardest to create - although, once I did, I just connected with her instantly. I wanted to write Hoseok being the opposite of his sunshine self, and the person to bring that out would have to be a hell of a character. Their initial childhood meeting is inspired by one of my all time favourite movies, Flipped.

(While I don't think I'm anything like any of my characters, Kaya, Lia and I probably share some similar habits, primarily working a lot and being too tired for drama. Parts of Chaeyoung are also inspired by my teen years - I cringe so hard when I think of those days.)

The non-toxic nail polish market is carving out a significant niche within the broader cosmetics industry, with predictions pointing towards substantial growth by 2030.

Overview of the Non-Toxic Nail Polish Distribution Channel The Non-Toxic Nail Polish market segmentation, depending on distribution channel, includes store based and non-store based. The store-based category will hold a dominant market share in 2022 due to the preference of the majority of customers to shop in physical locations.

Non-Toxic Nail Polish Regional Insights The report offers market information for North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the rest of the world, broken down by region. In 2022, the Non-Toxic Nail Polish Market in North America held a 45.80% market share. Consumers in the US and Canada are prepared to shell out a substantial amount of money for a more appealing appearance. This is encouraging the market's growth in this region. The Middle East is expected to grow at the second-fastest rate among the areas over the predicted period. This is because there are more affluent consumers willing to spend money on cosmetics, particularly nail cosmetics, in South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries.

Key Drivers of Growth

Increased Health Awareness: The rise in consumer health consciousness is a significant driver behind the surge in non-toxic nail polish sales. Awareness of the potential risks associated with prolonged exposure to conventional nail polish chemicals has led to a shift towards products labeled as "3-free" (free from toluene, DBP, and formaldehyde) and "5-free" (excluding formaldehyde resin and camphor as well). This trend is further fueled by increasing instances of allergies and sensitivities to traditional nail polish ingredients.

Environmental Concerns: Environmental sustainability plays a crucial role in consumer choices today, including in the beauty industry. Non-toxic nail polishes are often developed with eco-friendly practices in mind, using biodegradable packaging and renewable resources. The reduction of chemical use in these products also minimizes environmental pollution, resonating with eco-conscious consumers.

Influence of social media and Celebrity Endorsements: Social media platforms and celebrity endorsements have a profound impact on the beauty industry's trends. Influencers promoting non-toxic beauty products can significantly sway consumer preferences and drive the demand for non-toxic nail polishes. As more celebrities adopt and promote environmentally friendly and health-conscious lifestyles, their influence directly boosts sales in this niche market.

Technological Innovations in Product Formulations: Advances in cosmetic chemistry have enabled manufacturers to create high-quality non-toxic nail polishes that do not compromise on performance. New formulations offer long-lasting wear, glossy finishes, and a quick-drying nature, making them competitive with traditional polishes.

Market Trends

Expanding Product Range and Color Palette: Initially limited in variety, the non-toxic nail polish market now boasts an extensive range of colors and effects, from matte to shimmer and gel, without the use of harmful chemicals. This expansion is attracting a broader audience, eager to explore stylish and safer nail art options.

Growth in the Vegan Cosmetics Sector: Non-toxic nail polish often overlaps with vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics, markets that are also witnessing rapid growth. Consumers interested in cruelty-free products are naturally drawn to non-toxic nail polishes, especially those certified as vegan, which do not use any animal-derived ingredients or by-products.

Increase in Men’s Interest in Nail Care: The rise of gender-neutral beauty trends has seen an increased interest in nail care among men, expanding the potential market for non-toxic nail polishes. Brands that cater to this demographic with inclusive marketing and unisex product offerings are likely to capture a broader customer base.

Global Nutricosmetics Market Growth Driven by Rising Health and Wellness Trends

According to the latest publication by Meticulous Research®, the global nutricosmetics market is projected to reach $12.61 billion by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% from 2024 to 2031. This growth is largely driven by increasing consumer awareness of nutritional deficiencies, a growing preference for natural alternatives in health and beauty products, the expanding global cosmetics industry, and a rising geriatric population seeking holistic health solutions.

Download Sample Report Here @ https://www.meticulousresearch.com/download-sample-report/cp_id=5716

Despite these growth factors, the market faces challenges such as saturation in the nutraceuticals and cosmetics sectors and stringent regulatory requirements that could slightly hinder expansion. Stakeholders are expected to address one of the most significant barriers to market growth—low consumer awareness about the benefits of nutricosmetics—by investing in educational initiatives aimed at enhancing consumer understanding of these products.

The increasing popularity of functional foods and beverages is also playing a key role in shaping the market, with major players in the nutricosmetics sector focusing on innovations that cater to the growing demand for health and wellness products. As consumer preferences continue to evolve, this trend is expected to further influence market dynamics.

Key Market Players

The global nutricosmetics market is characterized by moderate competition, with a mix of global, regional, and local players vying for market share. Some of the key players driving growth and innovation in the nutricosmetics market include:

Amway Corporation (U.S.)

Shiseido Company, Limited (Japan)

Koninklijke DSM N.V. (Netherlands)

Nestlé S.A. (Switzerland)

Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd. (Japan)

LycoRed Ltd. (Israel)

Lonza Group Ltd. (Switzerland)

Otsuka Holdings Co. Ltd. (Japan)

Market Segmentation and Key Insights

The global nutricosmetics market is segmented by product type, form, distribution channel, and geography, with detailed insights into each segment.

By Product Type: The market is segmented into skincare, hair care, nail care, and other product types. In 2024, the skincare segment is expected to account for the largest share—46.7%—of the nutricosmetics market. This dominance is attributed to the aging population, increasing awareness of skin health, and the rising prevalence of skin conditions such as acne, wrinkles, and tanning. However, the hair care segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, reflecting a growing demand for products that address hair health and appearance.

By Form: The market is categorized into powder, liquid, tablets, capsules & soft gels, gummies & soft chews, and other forms. In 2024, the powder form segment is projected to capture the largest market share, driven by its ease of use and versatility. However, tablets are expected to register the highest CAGR due to their extended shelf life, portability, and precision in dosing, which appeals to consumers seeking convenient, standardized formats.

By Distribution Channel: Nutricosmetics are sold through various distribution channels, including supermarkets & hypermarkets, pharmacies & drug stores, specialty stores, e-commerce, and others. In 2024, supermarkets and hypermarkets are expected to dominate with a 39% market share. This dominance is attributed to the increasing number of supermarkets offering high-quality products, rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and consumers’ preference for offline shopping, which provides an enhanced purchasing experience.

Geographic Insights

The global nutricosmetics market is analyzed across major regions, including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, Asia-Pacific is expected to lead the market, accounting for 43.9% of the global share, and is projected to reach $3.40 billion by that year. The region's dominance is driven by high consumption of dietary supplements, increasing demand for functional foods and beverages, and greater awareness of nutricosmetics, particularly in countries like Japan and China.

In addition to Asia-Pacific, North America is also expected to experience substantial growth, driven by a rising focus on health and wellness, along with increasing consumer interest in natural and holistic beauty solutions.

Key Market Trends and Opportunities

The nutricosmetics market is experiencing significant growth, with the increasing awareness of health and wellness being one of the most impactful trends. As consumers become more conscious of the connection between nutrition and beauty, they are turning to products that support both internal health and external appearance. This shift in consumer behavior is opening up new opportunities for players in the market to innovate and expand their product offerings.

Saudi Arabian Color Cosmetics Market Will Reach $1,197.2 Million by 2030

The major growth factors for the Saudi Arabian color cosmetics market are rising disposable income, increasing awareness of appearance, soaring demand for organic color cosmetics, increasing investment in advertising and marketing initiatives, rising numbers of working women, and soaring digital marketing activities.

The industry is expected to create $1,197.2 million in sales in 2030 as a result of the aforementioned causes. The term "color cosmetics" refers to the dyes and other additives used in cosmetic products to improve the look of the body. Products like foundations, eye shadows, lipsticks, nail paints, and more are included in the category of color cosmetics.

Assisting Appearance Consciousness: As Western culture continues to spread and the workforce expands, particularly among women, Arabs are becoming more conscious of their physical appearance.

Many people, mainly those in the corporate and media & entertainment industries, believe that looking well may increase confidence. Cosmetic sales are rising in the kingdom as a result of people taking greater steps to look nice.

Moreover, the key factor driving Saudi Arabia's desire for color cosmetics is the country's rising buying power, which has given citizens more cash to spend on these products. Since the kingdom's oil boom, residents have seen fast economic growth, which has increased demand for things like color cosmetics and other items that were previously thought to be out of the grasp of the average person.

In terms of kind, the mass goods segment dominates the Saudi Arabian color cosmetics industry. This is mostly because such items are produced in large numbers all at once to provide customers with more access. They are therefore offered at reasonable pricing.

Based on product, the Saudi Arabian color cosmetics market is predicted to have the fastest growth in the facial make-up category over the projected period. This is mostly a result of the growing demand for foundation, blush, and bronzer hues with light-capturing crystals. Additionally, as more women enter the workforce, the need for face makeup products increases to achieve a perfect appearance.

In the Saudi Arabian market for color cosmetics, one-time packaging has taken the lead in terms of revenue generation. This is mostly because single-use plastics, often known as one-time packaging, are the most frequently utilized materials for packaging.

Based on the distribution channel, the supermarket/hypermarket category has the biggest market share in the sector. This is primarily attributable to the presence of a wide selection of color cosmetics under one roof, sufficient parking, and practical operating hours.

Hypermarkets are becoming more and more popular as a result of rising urbanization rates, an increase in the working-age population, and competitive product pricing.

Additionally, the number of working women has grown over the past ten years, and this demographic is very careful of how they seem. The country's improving lifestyle and the expanding number of working women are driving up demand for better color cosmetics.

Here’s how investing in a flower wall can transform your business.

The Power of Artificial Silk Flower Walls

Flower walls crafted from high-quality artificial silk flowers offer a luxurious and realistic look that can be maintained with minimal effort. Unlike real flowers, these artificial alternatives don’t wilt or require constant care, making them a cost-effective, long-term solution for businesses. The vibrant colours and lifelike textures of silk flowers create a captivating focal point in any space, drawing customers in and enhancing their overall experience.

Boosting Social Media Engagement with Flower Walls

In the age of social media, businesses thrive on visual content. Flower walls provide a perfect backdrop for Instagram-worthy photos, encouraging customers to share their experiences online. This organic social media exposure can significantly increase brand visibility and attract new customers. The more visually appealing your space, the more likely customers are to snap and share, spreading the word about your business.

Types of Businesses That Benefit from Flower Walls

Beauty Salons: Create a luxurious and inviting atmosphere that clients will love to share on social media.

Hotels: Enhance lobby areas or event spaces with a stunning flower wall to make a lasting impression on guests.

Each panel is designed to be easily nailed or stapled to the wall, ensuring a secure fit that lasts. Whether you’re covering an entire wall or creating a feature section, we can guide you through the process to achieve the perfect look.

Enhance Your Flower Wall with Neon or Brand Signs

Take your flower wall to the next level by incorporating a custom neon or brand sign. This addition not only personalises your space but also creates a striking contrast against the floral backdrop, making your business name or message stand out. A branded flower wall not only attracts attention but also reinforces your brand identity, leaving a memorable impression on every customer.

Conclusion: The Impact of Flower Walls on Customer Sales

Flower walls are more than just a decorative feature; they are a powerful tool for boosting customer sales. By creating an inviting and photogenic environment, you encourage customers to engage with your brand both in-person and online.

In recent years, the global cosmetic industry has experienced explosive growth. With a staggering array of products available — from skincare and makeup to hair and nail care — consumers are increasingly concerned about the safety and efficacy of what they apply to their bodies. Enter cosmetovigilance: a critical field dedicated to monitoring the safety of cosmetic products. Though often overshadowed by pharmacovigilance (the safety monitoring of pharmaceuticals), cosmetovigilance plays an equally vital role in protecting consumers by ensuring that cosmetic products are safe for use.

What is Cosmetovigilance?

Cosmetovigilance refers to the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, and prevention of adverse effects or any other unintended effects stemming from the use of cosmetic products. This area of vigilance encompasses various aspects, including the evaluation of ingredients, monitoring of consumer reports, and comprehensive assessments of product safety. The goal is to create a regulatory framework that assures consumers of the safety and quality of cosmetic products.

Regulatory Framework

In many regions, the regulation of cosmetics falls under various health authorities responsible for consumer safety. In the European Union, for example, the Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 mandates that products undergo rigorous safety assessments before they hit the shelves. Companies are required to establish a safety report for each product, taking into consideration the toxicological profile of the ingredients, exposure levels, and intended use.

In addition to pre-market regulations, most countries have established a post-market surveillance system that allows consumers and healthcare professionals to report adverse reactions. This information serves as the backbone of cosmetovigilance, helping to identify patterns and potential safety concerns.

Why is Cosmetovigilance Important?

Consumer Protection: The primary objective of cosmetovigilance is to safeguard the health and well-being of consumers. With incidents of allergic reactions, skin irritation, or long-term effects emerging from certain products, vigilant monitoring helps to identify harmful products and ensure that they are addressed promptly.

Regulatory Compliance: For cosmetic manufacturers, participating in cosmetovigilance is not just about adhering to laws; it's about maintaining consumer trust. Companies that actively monitor and report adverse effects can avoid legal repercussions and safeguard their brand image.

Data-Driven Improvements: Systematic data collection surrounding product safety allows for informed decisions regarding formulation changes, ingredient replacement, and innovation. This means that companies can proactively address potential issues rather than be reactive.

Consumer Awareness: The rising awareness around cosmetics’ ingredients and their potential effects has led to increased demand for transparency. A robust cosmetovigilance framework not only aids in monitoring safety but also contributes to educating consumers about their products.

The Role of Technology

With the advent of digital technologies, the landscape of cosmetovigilance is rapidly evolving. Social media platforms, mobile applications, and online forums enable consumers to share their experiences with cosmetic products more easily. This sharing of information can lead to quicker identification of potential side effects or concerns.

Moreover, big data and artificial intelligence are playing a significant role in analyzing reports and trends. By harnessing these technologies, regulators and companies can enhance their understanding of product safety and consumer behavior, ultimately leading to improved products and informed consumers.

Challenges Ahead

Despite its importance, cosmetovigilance faces several challenges. These include:

Underreporting: Many consumers may not report adverse events, either due to a lack of awareness or the belief that their experience is isolated. This can lead to gaps in data and hinder safety assessments.

Global Discrepancies: Different countries have varying regulations and enforcement mechanisms. This lack of uniformity can lead to safety issues that are not adequately addressed in all markets.

Evolving Formulations: As cosmetic formulations continue to evolve, with new ingredients and technologies emerging, the need for updated safety assessments becomes even more critical.

Conclusion

Cosmetovigilance is an essential discipline in the realm of cosmetic safety, helping to ensure that the products we use daily are safe and effective. As consumers become more informed and vocal about their experiences, the role of cosmetovigilance will only continue to grow. It is a collaborative effort, requiring cooperation among manufacturers, regulatory agencies, and consumers to build a safer future for cosmetic products. As the industry evolves, so too must our commitment to monitoring and ensuring the safety of what we apply to our skin.

Nail Polish Market Expected Revenue, Industry Share, Development Stages, and Landscape- Forecast to 2030

Nail Polish Industry Overview

The global nail polish market size was estimated at USD 16.23 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% from 2024 to 2030. One of the primary factors driving market expansion is the growing interest in nail art and care products among consumers, especially millennials. Additionally, nail art & extensions are becoming an integral part of grooming among the millennials. This in turn is expected to boost the demand for the product during the forecast period. Furthermore, the introduction of nail polish with natural ingredients, which are non-toxic and have lesser chemical content is anticipated to bolster the demand for nail polish in the future.

The market is experiencing growth, driven by innovations in formulas that cater to evolving consumer preferences and beauty trends. The industry is witnessing a surge in dazzling colors, with vibrant and bold hues, subtle pastels, and metallic finishes remaining a top priority for consumers. These diverse color options provide consumers with a wide array of choices for self-expression.

Many brands are now focusing on long-wearing formulas that resist chipping and peeling. Gel nail polish, for instance, provides a durable and glossy finish that lasts longer than traditional polish. For instance, Essie, a nail salon expert in the U.S., offers Gel Couture, a sophisticated nail polish collection that mimics the look of gel nails without requiring a lamp or curing. The 2-step system includes 42 new colors and a proprietary topcoat, delivering up to 14 days of chip-free wear, high shine, and a professional gel nail appearance. The easy-to-apply system is suitable for both at-home and salon use, and removal is as simple as regular polish, requiring no soaking.

Collaborations between food industry manufacturers and beauty brands, as well as partnerships with celebrity nail artists, are driving the growth of the market. In June 2022, Magnum ice cream collaborated with Nails.Inc and celebrity nail artist Mei Kawajiri to launch three trendy nail art designs inspired by the new Duet Bars. The ice cream brand, known for premium ingredients and innovative products, introduced indulgent flavors like Almond, Chocolate, and Cookie. The six chocolate-scented nail polishes reflect Duet Bars' chocolate layering and allow consumers to recreate the designs at home by purchasing polishes on Nails.Inc's website.

The growing demand for substitutes such as press-on nails is attributed to the superior quality and convenience of artificial nails, as well as the wide variety of designs, lengths, and styles they offer compared to traditional nail polish. Major retailers such as CVS and Walgreens have observed a significant spike in demand for artificial nails and have expanded their product offerings in response. Brands like KISS and Dashing Diva have seen substantial growth and are meeting the increasing consumer demand for artificial nails with innovative designs and high-quality products. The growth in demand for artificial nails is likely to suppress the demand for traditional nail polishes.

An increasing number of such service providers and mobile apps offering doorstep salon services are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Various doorstep salon service providers such as Urban Company in India, Primp In-Home in the U.S., Fantastic Services in the U.K., Ruhee in the UAE, and many more have been promoting nail art & nail care services. These service providers use particular brands of nail polish that they have tie-ups with, increasing product adoption. A key observation in the buying behavior of consumers is that they prefer purchasing these products from online platforms due to the availability of different brands as well as added advantages such as price-specification comparison and virtual try-ons. In addition, online discounts are likely to drive product demand in the near future
