Hello! It finally came, I'm so happy! I think it's well known enough by this point that I am, in fact, asexual. Anyway, not that long ago, I decided to order an asexual ring to celebrate and because why not? In case anyone here does not know what one is, I'll explain. It is an all back or predominantly black ring worn by asexuals on their right-hand middle finger. I forget the reasoning behind why it is the right hand, but I think there is one. I'll look into that. The ring is actually worn on the middle finger for a specific reason, believe it or not. Here's a picture I found that illustrates why:
Asexuality is a part of my individuality and personal identity (to me at least, but probably to many other asexuals as well), so that is why it goes specifically on that finger. The color black specifically is so people can recognize fellow asexuals better and because why not? It's also one of the ace colors (along with white, grey and purple), so I think that's why too. Anyway, I was looking online for a mostly back ring that was affordable and I would love and could not find one. So, then I looked for black and purple rings that were still affordable and still could not find any.
Right before I was about to give up, I decided to try and find any ring that I love and thought I could use nail polish to paint it black. Happy with that solution, I looked online until I found the perfect ring and ordered it. It suited my personality (girly), was cheap and was silver and purple. I figured I could paint the silver ring band to be black and leave the purple flower gems purple, since purple is also another ace color and that way I could have even more ace colors present on my ring. While I waited for my ring to ship, I bought some nail polish supplies. I even found a black nail polish with some tiny bits of glitter in it, so obviously I chose that option.
When I got my ring, I painted it with several coats of nail polish, only to realize I put it on sloppily and it turned out bad, so I had to use my nail polish remover (thankfully I was smart enough to get that as well, in case I messed up). Once I was back to square one, I repainted it and did a much better job. Now, I have my finished ring! I really love wearing it because it is so me, while representing who I am as well. I kept some parts around the flower silver because it's close to grey and that can match the grey in the flag not because I was too lazy to. Now, time for what you've all been waiting for: the ring reveal! Here are some pictures. Sorry for the inconsistent lighting in mine, that what you get when you take pictures in the same lighting at different angles. Also, the black nail polish is really shiny and sparkly, but it doesn't show up well in the picture, sorry about that. Also also, low quality image because I'm lazy and it's not the end of the world to me.
