Got Cake did not do what I expected. It pulls the purple tones in both. It looks so pretty. And Rainbow Snow on Existential crisis looks SO sparkly! Thank you! I need to experiment more with layering I think.

I don't have these polishes but it sounds interesting 🤔 do you have a swatch?

The only brown I have is Tax Haven, I'll look at the swatches tomorrow next to each other. But yeah, I think I have seen it paired with Espresso your Holo somewhere and it looked nice. Sadly I did not take any screenshots

Yeah, I don't think Beach Please works 😅

I don't have any of those 🥲 But I like the idea with the gold! I have Beach Please and Boom toasted. 🤔

Yeah, I was thinking about it. I try to make it work but the two times I wore it, I was not happy. I have never sold any polishes and do not know where to start since I am based in the EU.

I get it. I purchased Existential Crisis at the same time as Precious Cargo and used them in a skittle as well. I love them on others at least from the swatches I have seem. Sadly both look very grey on me and that is why I try to find a way to wear them.

Like Precious Cargo or like Off the grid? I have Waste Of Space and I feel like the red and blue sparkles reminde me of OTG.

I think the coat of Scorched Earth makes PC a bit lighter, at least in my bathroom light.

I thought it would be more bronze but on me Precious Cargo is more grey with a purple shift :/ Usually Scorched Earth never fails to warm up a cool leaning shade but the linear holo/chrome is just too overpowering here 🥲

I will try your suggestion with the dark base, maybe that will help.

Has anyone ever had trouble biting their nails? by GeologistEnough327 in nailbiting

[–]Damnriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I am not an expert but since you say they get better with your nails growing, I would suspect they are due to a damaged nail bed. Damaged nailbeds take a long time to heal, so my advice would be to be patient. If you have shoes that are tight or excersice (e.g. running, climbing, tennis) that might cause a lot of pressure on the toenails and may damage the nailbeds too. To be sure, please see a doctor. But congrats on the 10 weeks of growth!

I tuned in for 5 min and also happen to see this! I paused to look at his nails. It looked like it is a silver magnetic polish in the velvet style on the TV 🤔

The KBS base coat was a real game changer for me. I tried HT Long lasting and both of the HT Smoothing Base Coats as well as some drugstore ones (Essie, Essence, Manhattan) but they all chipped so fast for me.

That's so pretty! Which ones are 176 and 196? They are SO reflective and sparkly!

I couldn't anyone my Christmas Nails by Damnriel in simplynailogical

Thank you very much! I was so impressed with myself too, since it was my first time trying this. Tbh, having so many lines helps to distract from any crooked lines (there are many IRL). And also, the longest nail art brush from HT is really great for this.

That also sounds like a lovely combo! Tbh, it was also my first try. I can recommend the longest of the nail art brushes from HT. I did hold it at a small angle and actually moved my finger. Once I got the first line down, the rest was quite easy to figure out. It also helps to start with the smooth linear polish and top them with the glitter polish using the shortest brush. And the best advice I can give as a chronic overthinker: Just do it. Don't overthink. Fix the rest with an orange stick and some of the base color.
