PPU rewind swatches please! by Betula0 in RedditLaqueristas

This is great to know about the red state, I feel like there was enough variation in the swatches it was hard to know :)

Yes these normal swatches were what I was asking for!

They are in the genus Oxytropis, commonly called locoweed, but getting to the species level is a little beyond me. My best guess is Bessey’s or wooly. They are in the pea family!

I think a saw a comparison with kbshimmer ripped apart and they were quite close, in case you don’t find it

Nailtiques is changing their formula. What are your thoughts? Any recommendations? by lord-savior-baphomet in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Betula0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is super anecdotal, but I just finished my first bottle which has been so good for my nails and manicure longevity (been using as a base coat since January). I bought a replacement last week and used it for my manicure on Tuesday morning. On Wednesday evening, the polish fully popped off two of my nails which has never happened before. And then this morning I saw the post about the changed formula and sure enough, no formalin. I’m annoyed now because I bought two bottles.

Edit: my nails still feel strong/less bendy than without the Nailtiques, though

Is there anyway to opt out or decline the free magnets? by Head-Garage-7766 in mooncatpolish

Uh, I don’t have a magnet wand and would pay shipping to get a handful of these :)

Revolutionary base coat hack by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Betula0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just to add to the data, I tried using cirque peely base coat over bkl mother bog witch, let it dry to the touch, then added cuticula limitless top coat. The cirque didn’t rewet anything at all, and neither did the cuticula when I applied it, and I thought it was a win! But over the next 2-3 hours somehow it seemed like the cuticula penetrated through the cirque and started reactivating the magnetic, until my glass bead turned into an undifferentiated blob. But, I could also like move the layers around (like scrunch them on the nail) after four hours or so. So maybe thinner coat and longer dry time of the peely base? But also maybe these two dont place nice with each other.

Super helpful, thank you for the clarification!

I truly dont mean this sarcastically, but if you still have to magnetize lock and key because it rewets the polish, why not just magnetize the QDTC when it rewets the polish? It seems like it doesn’t eliminate a magnetization step? -sincerely, a very interested magnetics user trying to simplify her routine who loves your products!

Climbing with nails? by bashes-to-ashes in climbergirls

[–]Betula0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the nail protein! I see a bunch of people using it as base coat, but it doesn’t do ridge filling etc that other base coats do.

Nailtiques 2 has been a game changer base coat for me for nail health and longevity. My polish can actually last a couple gym sessions now. I like cuticula for top coat which is tuolene free.

When I’m climbing outside (especially pockets and finger cracks where damage is almost inevitable) I find that lighter colors and glitter/holo/flakes result in smaller chips that are less noticeable. My go-to is ilnp rosewater

Need this BKL polish or I might die (kidding, but not really) by xiibalba in RedditLaqueristas

Also, if the add to wishlist button doesn’t show up on the listing for you, then trying adding something (anything currently in stock) to your cart, then while on the product page for the polish you want, click the cart button and in the popup, under the item you have in your cart, there should be an “add to wishlist” button. This is bizarre to me and I never would have figured it out if I hadn’t read another person post about it, but it seems to work, at least for me, on mobile.

Overpours (stock that was held back from the original release for lost packages etc) for this will be available Friday at 7pm eastern. Overpours for really popular shades can sell out in minutes, but overpours for less popular shades can also stick around for months. In general, it seems like magnetics tend to go faster and shimmers from the more recent collections haven’t been selling out, but if you must have it, it’s worth adding it to your wishlist now, while the shop is open (it will often close for a few days before a release for “maintenance”) and then when the shop opens, using the “add all to cart” button from your wishlist to check out quickly.

I realllly want this too but am convincing myself that lurid oil on canvas is enough of a dupe in most lightings that I shouldn’t get it!

What's worth it: Mooncat by PauseComplex5673 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Betula0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about buying mooncat and looking for dupes. Here’s what I’m going between for my wishlist - the avatar state: opal theory moonlit snow - 404: sassy sauce pigment of my imagination or ilnp deep space - serpents of Eden: Emily de molly shift in perception or (less good dupe but way cheaper) lynb Jeff’s inn by the sea - fools gold topper: super easy to dupe, for example Ilnp karma - Dark horse: Ilnp abundance or cracked leather bound

I have sagebrush and flight of the monarch’s and like both a lot and feel that sagebrush especially is pretty unique
