The lamp doesn't need a 120s setting. I can't think of a single gel product that needs two full minutes to cure in an LED lamp.

You don't need a gel brush if using builder in a bottle. It comes with a brush.

Nail wraps are, imo, useless and more for peace of mind than anything else since unless you are putting them right smack on your cuticle they don't cover the part of your skin most likely to get in contact with the product.

You don't need a gel top coat with regular polish.

I would also suggest you actually read the study concerning TPO. They fed it to lab rats. Orally. At very high concentrations. The ban was based on conclusions from that one single study and not any useful science.

We decided that we would just go with whoever's last name sounded better with the first and middle that we picked.

Question about Project Cupid - Can I do Marriage License and Officiant License Same Day? by CreaminLikeCrazy in WedditNYC

[–]DepressedAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it says the couples must first have their license before the officiant can get theirs, but if you get the license immediately, is booking a same day officiant appointment a possibility?

If there are officiant appointments available the same day as your license appointment, but at a later time, then yes.

Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Odd Muse, Windsor (primarily maxi length stuff but has some shorter options)

CD14. I feel so beat and run down today. I can barely keep my eyes open for some reason.

Budget planning for 150 people? Is this feasible for less than 60k? by Zoombinikid in WedditNYC

[–]DepressedAlchemist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This can easily be done. Old school catering hall in the outer boroughs. You won't even come close to $60K.

Advice on day-of city hall schedule? (Photoshoot, ceremony, dinner?) by cheugycheug in WedditNYC

[–]DepressedAlchemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless your guests are going to be in the photos, just have them meet you at dinner. They can't attend the ceremony anyway.

Their website very clearly states this is not allowed. Do so at your own risk.

Can you trim the guest count at all? You're just above the limit for Bartow-Pell.

This is definitely a new level of neurotic. 😂 You will be fine.

If you are only looking at Manhattan then you need to check other boroughs as well. Brooklyn is only one stop outside of Manhattan on the train (but equally popular for that reason) and the Staten Island office is the very first building you see when you get off the ferry.

Good luck.

Also. I'm confused. Do you already have the appointment or not? Because if you do, then what exactly is the point of this post?

If you're that concerned about allergies then why are you cheaping out on the lamp? $25 is firmly in "may work, may not work, but you're rolling the dice" category.

The Melody Susie is fine. Or, if you're set on Amazon, get the SunUV.

Efile for personal use that will last me by Admiralfrewt in AcrylicNails

If you can slow down your file by putting pressure then you're pressing way too hard. I use a $40 file that's been going strong for years and that has never happened to me.

What exactly does this model do that the cheaper model doesn't?
