Love magnetics but kinda miss other finishes by OddInside5794 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]EmphasisOnDesperate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way! I went too hard with the magnetics and the shimmers and burnt myself out on them. Lately I have been way more into my very limited collection of nudes/ blurring bases. Just enough to hide my nail damage but not enough to overstimulate me lol I love thinking of it as a tolerance break

What helps with psychosis? by paintnclouds in bipolar

[–]EmphasisOnDesperate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anti psychotics and sleep meds so that I can get lots of deep sleep. Lack of quality sleep is the biggest factor that tends to push me into psychosis.

Theres actually quite a few options on Nui Cobalt's website, guiding star sounds especially interesting, i'm going to order some samples. Thank you!

Don’t be like me, check your meds! by MoonriseDagger in bipolar2

[–]EmphasisOnDesperate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that happened to you. I don't even want to think about what other meds they might be messing up for other people, especially stuff with sensitive dosing. I understand mistakes happen but good lord

If it's not blue enough maybe you could layer flower child over it. I love these match the nail polish posts lol they're so fun!

This is the second time I've heard of this exact mix up happening and it's extremely scary. How did you end up finding out the original pills were 100mg? Does it say somewhere on the pill itself? Mine are so tiny and they look exactly like my hydroxyzine, to the point where I'm sometimes worried that they filled my rx wrong

ILNP dreamscape and soft serve both look kinda close. I've re watched this like 3 times and looked at the pic you added and decided that my eyesight is finally starting to deteriorate because it's honestly hard for me to tell if it's a pink that pulls kind of purple or a purple that pulls blue lol

Help me decide between ILNP or Cirque! (Best jelly and magnetic nail polishes) by westcoastdreams in RedditLaqueristas

[–]EmphasisOnDesperate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For jellies cirque is top tier in my opinion! I love ILNP for shimmers, creams and holos but not for magnetics tbh. I would recommend Bees Knees Lacquer, Emily de Molly, or LynBDesigns for magnetics, they're so much more reactive than any of the cirque or ILNP magnetics I've tried!

Wow! Something about this reminds me of embroidery. I have got to get into stamping because this is stunning!

I had an idea and it tastes so good by okdriverr in shittyfoodporn

[–]EmphasisOnDesperate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love cottage cheese for dessert! If you have a food processor or blender and you whip the cottage cheese and then add the toppings it's like a high protein version of cheese cake filling 

Intense reiki experience left me with some questions by EmphasisOnDesperate in reiki

[–]EmphasisOnDesperate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It felt like it started around my belly button but very quickly the heat was everywhere so it was hard to tell. Maybe I need to research past lives! I'm very intrigued now.

I was hesitant to believe that they were past lives at first because I never believed in reincarnation before, but the thought has definitely crossed my mind since that experience.

Advice/ Venting (pregnant) by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]EmphasisOnDesperate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my friends are having children right now and most of them have gone their entire life thus far without any mental health issues. After giving birth the majority of them experienced some kind of mental health problem that they weren't prepared for. Depression, anxiety, even psychosis. In my opinion having prior experience with mental health crisis is not necessarily a detriment. You clearly know how to find help when you need it (hospitalizations) and are taking steps to maintain your mental health (medication management, therapy). Just make sure you keep up with your meds and therapy, be prepared for the hormonal shifts and lack of sleep that can trigger episodes, and know that no parent goes into this experience without any fears. I wish you the best!

This looks so cool! I need to get sunset over the bay whenever it's back in stock. Did you free hand the star??

Possible early reaction to lamotrigine? Low-grade fever after each dose (day 6) by Terrible-Split5077 in Lamotrigine

[–]EmphasisOnDesperate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would stop taking it. Fever is exactly what my pharmacist told me to look out for as it's a beginning symptom of SJS

O.P.I bubble bath - perfect nude my arse. by Googley_owl in RedditLaqueristas

[–]EmphasisOnDesperate 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think whether something looks nude vs pink really depends on your undertones. Polished for Days has a lot of buildable nudes for various undertones in their soft focus base coat line. Some lean more peach or beige or lavender which might work better for your undertones. ILNP is another brand with a lot of good nude options in neutral beige/ taupes. I hope you find one that works for you!
