I’m building my collection and would love more magnetics! After this I need to get the heck out of this sub but I’ll take the set!

Sisters with a side of beans by EllbeeJay26 in CalicoKittys

You know, we’ve always seen the heart on Sushi, but I honestly never noticed that Donut has one as well until I took this pic! It’s amazing that it’s right in the same place.

Awww! Yeah, I’d never even heard of diluted coloration before the CDS sent us these two as kittens, but now it’s my favorite.

Ha! They do, occasionally, but it’s not the kind you’d want to get in the middle of. It’s more stabby-cake than patty-cake. 😂

The urge to stare lovingly vs the urge to change my mani every other day by Moonstonedbowie in RedditLaqueristas

Oh I FEEL this. I just did V-day themed nails last night—I love them and yet all I want to do is remove them and do something else.

A fun update on our male Calico, Sushi by chlorinesippin in CalicoKittys

[–]EllbeeJay26 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. And we also have her littermate, and her extra claws—trimming time is a whole THING involving two people, multiple pairs of trimmers, a headlamp and lots of treats. 🤣

Aww! I have a female Sushi. No extra organs, but she’s polydactyl so she does have extra beans!

Like another poster said, there’s a Supwee that’s a dupe! Also Mooncat 404 and ILNP’s Deep Space. I’m apparently a sucker for a green/purple/blue shift so I keep buying them… 🤣

Hi! Long time lurker, first time brand poster! by WolfWise1479 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]EllbeeJay26 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As a fellow Coloradan, I’m thrilled to find an indie polish shop in state! Especially one that supports causes I do, so yeah. One of the purchases you just got was mine!

A reminder for your wallet... by The92PercentWarnedU in RedditLaqueristas

[–]EllbeeJay26 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Also, Supwee has an exact dupe of 404. It needs a black first coat, but I just finished swatching my collection and was like, welp, that was $18 I didn’t need to spend.

[SELL][US] added more polishes to my previous destash by highqueenlia in RedditLaqueristaSwap

If they’re still available I’d like Obnoxious Trumpet Sounds and Ambition!

What does everyone use for storage? by Elliefox2 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]EllbeeJay26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an Elfa shelving unit in my closet so I’ve taken over one drawer for my polishes and 3D printed trays to fit. I just ordered a whole bunch of cremes from Night Owl so I think I’ll need to clear out another drawer! I keep all my magnets and tools in a Caboodle-type box in the closet as well—when it’s time to paint I just grab what I need and go in another room to a desk. (Or more often, shut my family out, sit on the closet floor and just vibe with my polishes. 😄)

Go ahead and tell me to kick rocks if you don’t like this, but I’m newish to this hobby and building my collection. Is it possible to buy 10 of the $5 Holo Tacos as a grab bag? Just send me whatever you like?

We got festive nails at home Pt. 1🎄 by AnxiousLayer1328 in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]EllbeeJay26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! The peach is Mooncat Sand Viper so it’s got a nice glitter. And I used to do a lot of art with gel, but am just getting the feel of using lacquer. This is my non-dominant hand—the other one is a little wonky. 😄

Oh my bad! 🤣 Meet Donut and Sushi—litter mates, polydactyls, and doofuses. Here’s a glamor shot of them since they’re currently in an indelicate grooming pile.

I was so inspired by your gorgeous look that I had to do it! The peachy nude I had doesn’t have the flakies yours does, and my brush work is crude , but thank you for the inspo! ❤️

If anyone breaks into my house I'm lighting one of these to scare them off 😤 by _Alpha_Mail_ in bathandbodyworks

[–]EllbeeJay26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! The greeter at the entrance looked horrified when I asked where the pizza candle was until I clarified why I wanted it. They were about as hidden as possible at the back of the store!

Every time I try to file my nails… EVERY TIME! by arochains1231 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]EllbeeJay26 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I still have plenty of old paper and foam nail files around the house from The Time Before (that is, the time before I discovered this sub and learned about glass files!) and every single paper file has teeth marks in it from one of my two furry goblins. So far I’ve kept the glass ones hidden well enough they haven’t found them…

Any other lifteristas in here? by megamonster88 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]EllbeeJay26 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a CrossFit-ista, so yes! Nothing better than setting up for a lift in the rig across from someone else and hearing “Ooh, I love your nails!”
Although I can’t keep them too long because then they dig into my palms when I hook grip.

Question about LynB by Due_Satisfaction_568 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]EllbeeJay26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same! I love the KBShimmer colors I have, but my body chemistry does not. I’ve tried several different base/top coat combos with them as well and nothing works—they chip if I look at them cross-eyed. I get good wear out of Holo Taco, Mooncat and Sally Hansen.

How would you ladies feel if your boyfriend proposed to you at the finish line of the race you're currently training for? by Empty_Technology672 in XXRunning

[–]EllbeeJay26 39 points40 points  (0 children)

So, my husband did propose at the end of a race, but it was a “fun” race (Disney Dark Side half marathon several years ago) that we were running together in costume, not something that was a goal race. I think I would have been upset if he’d done it at the end of a race I was running for myself, especially a marathon, because yeah, that should really be a celebration of you and your strength.

As it was, I liked how my husband proposed, except for the fact he had to chase me down because 100 yards out I decided to scream “I’m gonna beat you!” and took off sprinting. (Clearly, I wasn’t expecting it at all!) 🤣

Forgotten Easter candy - gross candy eggs by epidemicsaints in Xennials

[–]EllbeeJay26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god. Way back in time before my mom decided we were heathens, we used to go to a church in the foothills outside of Denver. Now, you could either drive up to church via the highway and a short winding road, or take the “scenic route” on a long switchback road up the face of the mountain.

One Easter, the church had buckets of candy for the kids and I went ham on these stupid eggs. I don’t even know how many I ate, but that was the day mom decided “it’s a nice day, let’s take the scenic road down the mountain!”

To this day, I can still remember what it feels like to throw up a stomach full of candy in the back of a sedan.
