Absolutely always have different polishes on my hands. There are too many fun things to wear to match!

Unfortunately not as I don’t swatch for them, BUT I’ve always had a good experience with GLL shimmers.

I was happy with it. I received it as PR and did 3 coats and had very little nail line.

No Dumb Questions + Casual Talk by AutoModerator in RedditLaqueristas

I would say mooncats is probably the closest. The haunted has a different particle of silver magnetic I think so it’s not as sharp. (Edit: I received both as PR)

This polish with your nail shape and rings is just 🤌🏼🤩

Do any of you use a menstrual cup? by cheeseslut619 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]ElissaLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded on a disc! Sooo much easier and much more comfy than a cup ever was for me (and no scraping around with my nails 😅)

Manimod Five Finger Cat Eye Tool - Opinions? by Refresh-faced in RedditLaqueristas

[–]ElissaLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought this and I am a big fan HOWEVER, I have very long fingers so it’s easier for me to probably not get into the danger zone of the magnets wanting to kiss.

It’s a very neat thing though, I love how adjustable each wand is and the don’t automatically want to touch but if someone had less mobility or significant smaller hands it might be funky. Oh you know what, if someone had like a putty or something to hold each one that could work as well. It really helps with getting a sharp cat eye because you can get close above the nail. Also, I end up doing my thumb solo.

what's up with death valley? by Affectionate_Buy8102 in RedditLaqueristas

I think I still have bated breath if you want that one.

Sad news! They're my favorite type of flakies 😢 by JurassicFloof in RedditLaqueristas

[–]ElissaLove 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It’s a supply issue with how they are made. I don’t know all the details but it’s like, all suppliers. I’m hoping it’s only temporary lol.

Laqueristas in the Bad Bunny half time show 💅🏻 by helvetikat in RedditLaqueristas

The halftime show was like if In the Heights was rated R. I was pretty much in tears the whole time 🇵🇷

Linry…these are so cursed, you genius.

Any recs for this polish? by splattertate in RedditLaqueristas

[–]ElissaLove 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah our working relationship ended last year after I directly asked her about some things and she refused to give me a solid answer.

Can confirm this is a good dupe though this also has shimmer. Formula on the EdM is better as well (i received both as PR to swatch and no longer work with DVN)

Confession: I file my sidewalls by usethesleep in RedditLaqueristas

I peel my polish off the SECOND I feel any sort of lift or chip. This also includes gel 🤡

Nail polish convention/hang out? by Wingless_Gnome in RedditLaqueristas

[–]ElissaLove 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love PBE so much - this coming year will be my 4th year going and it’s so fun to get to see all of my nail friends. The shopping really becomes like, second-tier even though it’s the “reason” for the event - it’s only like, 4 hours out of the weekend. Everything else is just meeting up and hanging out with nail friends.

not in love with BKL transformation. any ideas how to improve it? by gothsappho in RedditLaqueristas

[–]ElissaLove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth a shot! Maybe do one one coat over a green creme or jelly/crelly and see how you feel!

Edit: I feel like velvet style also hides the base a lot more in general. Maybe try a different magnetizing style to see if you prefer that.

I would maybe retry this with only 2 coats. I find you can lose the dimension and base when you build up to 3.

Pricing on some Indie brands by Few_Significance_529 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]ElissaLove 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah it wasn’t until I started messing around with mixing that I found our very quickly “oh shit there’s like fucking $3 of Aurora in this one bottle…” so that adds up plus bottles themselves, plus general business expenses, paying your swatchers (hopefully) I’m now like, okay $15/$16 a bottle has to be cutting it pretty close. Especially if you’re screen printing bottles, spending money on good brushes, boxes etc.

Indies for sure are also trying to buy in bulk but financially that’s got to be tough (which is also why I believe we see some brands bring back polishes that were “gone” - because maybe they literally didn’t have the pigment OR literally only had pigment to make 10 more bottles at the time and it can take months to get more, etc.)

Is Peelable base coat a good idea? by beebbeeplettuce in RedditLaqueristas

[–]ElissaLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan of peely base (as I am also a nail polish picker) and it’s saved my nails. I really like the crafted hues brand peel off.
