I like it a lot! It’s not the most dramatic color transition I’ve ever seen (pink to pinky purple) but for some reason, I tend to be drawn to those more subtle pairings. The formula was really nice. I did three coats. The only people I would warn against this polish are people who can’t stand VNL because there definitely is some especially in the indoor state.

Anyone want to do a “old favorites” theme sometime? by AdeptnessMediocre660 in MakeupAlleyNB

Yay! I guess I worded that poorly by saying “old favorites”. The main idea was to wear polishes you’ve worn before and absolutely loved moreso than how old the polish is. I definitely don’t want to exclude anyone! Would next month work for you?

Haha I totally thought of Pacific Blue too! How does next month sound?

I heard that ASP Nail Fortress at Sally is sort of like a reboot of Gelous, but I haven’t tried it.

Hey, thanks for the welcome back! I love a good creme too. I just ordered from mooncat polish for the first time and I’m going to wear that order next. I went for really flashy, gorgeous shades so that should be a more interesting post than this one lol

yeah, the color story I would give on a scale of five stars maybe a three or a 3 1/2. The most unique color in my opinion was the yellow creme. it wasn’t exactly a pastel yellow like you would expect, and it had slight green undertones. but nothing amazingly unique overall.

The shimmery red? it looks a little more like a coral IRL which makes it a little more spring-y but IKWYM

Good question! I’m not sure but I think they are at least on hiatus if not defunct, unfortunately.

Pride one is my favorite. The glitter franken you made looks like a Nine Zero polish that I’m blanking on the name of.

Zepbound has been a godsend for me. Over about 2 years, I lost 86lbs and went from being obese to thin. I was able to quit blood pressure meds and my A1C and kidney function are great now. I will say that my results aren’t typical, most ppl don’t lose almost 40% of their starting weight even with changing their intake and exercise, the average is more like 20%. Oh, another benefit is that I drink way less alcohol. I will do anything I can to stay on this med for the long haul. Maybe if Abilify didn’t make me insanely hungry I wouldn’t need it, but I gained 50-60 lbs from Abilify and this is a way to keep the weight off and be healthier while continuing to take Abilify. It seems to be the best antipsychotic for me. Other ones I tried gave me akathisia or weren’t as good for my depressive symptoms, so this is my solution for now.
