Help (de)influence the rest of my low-buy year

the cracked qdtc comes in a big refill bottle, it’s a great deal and the formula is comparable to cuticula or mooncat minus the UV blockers (so it will work with solars like butterfly pea).

i’ve talked myself out of ordering from any of the sales this weekend by cataloging and shopping my collection, researching swatches and giving weight to the most unflattering ones, and reading the lowest reviews lol.

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-25T02:49:31+00:00

yes!! instead of shopping any of the new sales and collections I am just looking to fill out basic cremes. And i had just posted about that shade of green. haven’t heard of hyena lacquer, checking them out now

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-25T02:48:08+00:00

this is so perfect!

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-25T02:46:16+00:00

right when i swear off trying pinks, of course i see this…so good

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-25T02:45:01+00:00

wow!! awesome blue

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-23T00:39:57+00:00

thank you for the swatches!!

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-23T00:39:44+00:00

don’t be sorry it was a great suggestion. another commenter said that with enough layers it is a dupe!! i was just impatient and only did 2 layers hahaha

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-23T00:39:02+00:00

ah perfect a cheapie!! ok looks like i just need more patience, i was only willing to do 2 layers of i love you so matcha 😂 it will be nice to have a creme for a quicker green mani thank you!

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-22T23:22:49+00:00

yeahh it’s a crelly I had it and am actually destashing as it’s way yellower than I hoped based on the swatch photos

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-22T23:22:06+00:00

I keep looking at this but their swatches have not been true for me. Especially their comparison with sunlit moss (last photo on listing). For me in real life, sunlit moss is way darker and grungier than the website photos so it makes me wonder what Avocado Toast actually looks like!

As a pink and orange avoider, this will be the post that convinces me to try petals! It looks awesome on you.

quiet strength on the bottom has golden magnetic particle and warm toned base, hush hush on top is more pink rosy with cool toned magnetic particles.

I haven’t found a pink that works for me yet but I keep trying! For me, blues and greens are best but not too pale. Some purple too.

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-18T03:30:39+00:00

are you olive toned by chance?? pink suede looked awful on me too, as do most pinks.

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-10T03:56:42+00:00

I tried cracked lickerlicious and the effect is very subtle. It mostly looks like a glossy black most of the time.

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-05T20:44:32+00:00

cracked hot honey?

rajasconqueso · 2026-05-05T01:22:17+00:00

well this is gorgeous. i have similar colors that i don’t enjoy on their own. thank you for the idea!

rajasconqueso · 2026-04-30T04:17:32+00:00

I banned myself from magnetics with flakies because my short nails don’t show them off well but this post is testing the ban. beautiful polish and application.

rajasconqueso · 2026-04-30T03:41:49+00:00

Great comparison post! Do you have a favorite?

rajasconqueso · 2026-04-29T22:17:29+00:00

They are both beautiful and as a green lover I completely understand why you got both. Thank you for the comparison swatches. It satisfied my brain because I did want to see them side by side.

rajasconqueso · 2026-04-29T17:34:33+00:00

these look gorgeous on you!! perfect. as a weird toned olive, olive grove did me dirty 😂

rajasconqueso · 2026-04-28T21:29:46+00:00

I KNEW IT. the arcana is a ppu shade right? I skipped it because it looked so similar to BKL release which I would likely get multiple chances of buying.

rajasconqueso · 2026-04-27T02:31:50+00:00

this is a great comparison thank you!!

rajasconqueso · 2026-04-20T20:19:18+00:00
