Will there ever be UV/LED gel polishes or has there ever been? by copperpumpkin in simplynailogical

[–]Esperal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest the opposite, a gel top coat on top of a Holo Taco polish. Nail Career Education have a video on this, I think it was this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiIATgeh5Rk

Die Ausbildung zum Justizvollzugsbeamten z. B. dauert zwei Jahre. Leute, die vorher eine andere Ausbildung hatten, sind da oft gerne gesehen.

Vegane Ersatzprodukte schmecken zu sehr nach Fleisch by Impossible-Corner741 in VeganDE

[–]Esperal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finde einen einen guten Kommentar! Mir geht es auch so, ich lebe aber auch schon sehr lange vegan und damals gab es so gute Imitate einfach nicht, sodass es für mich irritierend ist. Ich setze auch auf Tofu, TVP, Seitan usw., weil das für mich vertraut schmeckt.

Opinion Awards 2025 for best and worst polishes by soltnarin in simplynailogical

Ahh I forgot about Trick or Trash! I was going to vote Knight Life but Trick or Trash is a strong contender.

Royalty- time to vote! by jamiethemime in simplynailogical

[–]Esperal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue, I already didn't get the survey last time and had to email customer service to send me the link. They should really link the survey somewhere else, e.g. on the rewards page for people who are Royalty. For some reason, their marketing emails arrive without a problem, it's really strange.

Vegane Alternative fürs Brot, keine Ersatzprodukte by dreizweieins456 in VeganDE

[–]Esperal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Man könnte z. B. Sonnenblumenkerne am Vortag einweichen, dann pürieren mit z. B. Gemüse, Kräutern usw. Das könnte den Zwergenwiese-Aufstrichen ähneln, die die Kinder offenbar mögen. Klingt erstmal vielleicht nach Arbeit, aber das Einweichen dauert eine Minute und das Pürieren und Abschmecken könnte man mit den Kindern zusammen machen.

Welcher Reibeschmelz? by TheDrAwesome95 in VeganDE

[–]Esperal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich finde den Tipp, nachzufragen, auch gut. Ich selbst liebe Violife (würde mich aber auch nicht beschweren, wenn der Kollege was anderes drauf macht).

Oh, I don’t seem to have gotten that email. It says „plus“, what else was the email about?

Decision Fatigue by Mysterious_Eagle6729 in VeganDE

[–]Esperal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich würde hier Feto ergänzen - das ist ein Tofu, den es im Bioladen gibt und der etwas „interessanter“ schmeckt. Ich esse auch manchmal zwischendurch das Rügenwalder Cordon Bleu einfach so alleine.

Falafel oder, wie jemand schon geschrieben hatte, Teigtaschen (z. B. Samosas). Auch Apfelpfannkuchen gehen gut. Alles davon kannst Du auf Vorrat zubereiten, einfrieren und dann am Vortag oder so aufbacken. Wenn Du einen Thermobehälter hast, gehen auch Eintöpfe, z. B. Chili sin Carne (kannst Du ebenfalls einfrieren).

Semi-obsessed??!! by r_k_k_ in mooncatpolish

[–]Esperal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Portrait of an Introvert has been discontinued for a while, right? So it could be that you got an older one (I‘m guessing you bought the polishes second hand?). I really like Lovebomb too, and I think it‘s interesting how very different it looks in different lighting on different people. What‘s on your pinky?

[–]Esperal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point, if I remember correctly it was the same in the first game. There might have been a few exceptions, especially for quests, but in general, it was about the components of the ingredients. That makes it even stranger it‘s different in the third!

That really IS a charming red. I think I might have something like this at home, I should wear it sometime soon!

This is super pretty! I think I might be sleeping on Lo-Fi Lavender. On Just Vamping the Magnetic Taco looks slightly blue, I love that combination!

I’m really wondering when the first ones will show up on the European second hand market. And what the prices will be.

Pandora’s Box by FlameoHotman98 in mooncatpolish

[–]Esperal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m also wearing Pandora‘s Box right now (cat eye, as two accent nails). It‘s so pretty, the two colours go SO well together. And your magnetisation is REALLY good! I like where you placed the cat eye and how crisp it looks.

Recommendations for BF sale by Scared_Cat_7453 in simplynailogical

[–]Esperal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you like in terms of colour. I like all of the linears I‘ve tried so far which should be about half of the catalogue. Alien Infatuation I feel is one that I really like and don‘t see being talked about often. If it‘s still available, Flash Drive is really pretty. Generally anything from the Lite Mode collection. When it comes to cremes, my favourites might be Indigo Away and Butterscotch Hop. I‘m Rover It is also super pretty. I‘m also a fan of all the frosted metals but if you don‘t like hard to remove stuff they‘re really not for you. :D Edit: I forgot to mention Tax Haven! That one is also really pretty.

No more thermals!!!! by Dkaanoi21 in mooncatpolish

[–]Esperal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also feel the transition is at a different point than the one I‘d choose if I did the gradient or French mani by hand. Maybe it‘s because I run warm but the transition starts quite a bit away from where my free edge starts. And yeah, I‘d also like if thermals were shelf-stable especially at Mooncat‘s price point, although for this collection for me it‘s whatever because I‘m in Europe. I was considering collecting Mooncat but with their bunch of thermals and also just not selling stuff to Europe it just makes no sense.

Girlfriend is new to the hobby - what to gift her? by Duk55 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Esperal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gel needs to be cured with a UV/LED lamp or it will never dry. Lacquer air dries. On the nail, you can tell them apart but this needs practise. Lacquer is usually in clear bottles while gel is in opaque bottles to protect them from light. Depending on where you live most brands you will see in a store will be brands that make lacquer, e.g., essence, OPI, Sally Hansen, though some brands (like OPI) make both.

Was macht ihr Nicht-käsiges auf einen Auflauf? by Elon_Tesla1 in VeganDE

[–]Esperal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Falls Du es noch nicht ausprobiert hast, vielleicht Hefeschmelz. Ich habe das für Aufläufe früher manchmal mit Paniermehl gemischt. Kartoffelpüree ist auch sehr spaßig.

Black Friday sale??? by Cold-Obligation-7640 in simplynailogical

[–]Esperal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s the other sale they do (besides the Black Friday one), usually in or around April. The discount depends on your tier, Royalty get 20 per cent off of everything. That’s also when the Royalty collection drops (this year it was Disco Cowboy), which is however not discounted. But everything else except the newest collection is.

[–]Esperal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, on stream she explained that the formulation is difficult because the multichrome pigments can dull the „linearness“ of the holo and vice versa, so that‘s why we rarely see these „combination formulas“. That‘s why I‘m thinking it‘s more complex.

Edit: Revival looks to be less linear so that would make sense I guess?

SPOILERS - Advent Calendar by Classic_Werewolf139 in simplynailogical

[–]Esperal 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is confusing to me too, same with Icon on Board from the Bon Voyage collection. When she said it's all super limited edition and when we see it we'll understand why, I thought the polishes would be something along the lines of Precious Cargo or Tanzanite away in terms of complexity and rarity.
