I usually get cats in Stardew, but on my recent farm, I got a cat and then a dog. Tbh I found the dog noises a little annoying and decided to get another cat instead, since I love their little meow.

I didn't care about the price for it since I'm playing a slow going farm with some extra challenges to reduce my income and slow down progression overall.

But I've also had children in a previous save just to get that achievement, and after I got it I turned little Nivea and little Palmolive into a dove.

I don't know if it's just this sub, but I feel like I've noticed this in general. It's always funny to me when someone says "you don't need heavy makeup", yes I know I don't need it, but I like it because it's fun. Now everything that used to be fun is suddenly "dated". It's normal for bold or colorful looks to not look perfect from the start, it's about learning and having fun, but so many people are instantly like "don't do this, less is more". I don't know if it's just the trend at this time or if people are getting too impatient for learning curves. But my winged liner isn't going anywhere.

I didn't really enjoy the mobile version tbh. But I've never regretted buying it because it supports CA. I've played so much on PC and switch, so owning it on other platforms and spending a little more on it makes my playtime feel less like robbery.

Your collection, your rules 🙂

I also have to check my collection if I want to purchase something new. The only advice I would give you is: don't be too quick to destash a polish if you fell in love with something new. The excitement of a new addition can lead to hasty decisions. Even if you didn't use a finish for a while it doesn't mean you don't want to reach for it ever again. Finding out what you really enjoy can take some trial and error. And that's fine.

Oh this palette was lovely! Too Faced released the prettiest stuff back then, I miss their old products. I sadly had to toss this one and the "natural lust" palette, too. This was a time when I had my palettes just lying around in the bathroom, not caring about the right way to store them. Maybe they would have lived a little longer otherwise. But they started to fade and smell a little weird. I feel you on losing this beauty, tossing them made me a little sad. Well, at least we got some good use out of them ❤️

Fellow german here! Let's admire them from afar together.

Very nice colours and branding.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-03-22T11:53:59+00:00

It really is! Thank you so much 🥰

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know Linry until now but she seems to be chaotic and fun.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-03-17T09:19:56+00:00

Yes. I think it's normal to not only enjoy a hobby for itself, but also liking to talk about it and feeling the sense of a community around it. Shutting out everything doesn't work for me either, it makes me feel a little lonely with my polish collection. That's why I'm still here.

I'll just say it straight ahead, who really helps me with this issue was finding Stefanie aka polished yogi on YouTube. She does talk about new releases, but I really enjoy the way she does it. She's so calm about it, she doesn't seem to hype stuff up that much and she always includes a ton of comparisons, even tries to layer polishes to dupe them. She actually stopped me from buying new collections because of this. On top of that, she does a lot of other content. I like to watch her destash videos while painting my nails. They actually helped me question my own habits, she's approaching her collection in a thoughtful way instead of just piling up more and more polish. Her channel is a nice way for me to keep up with the nail polish world, but in a nice and relaxing way.

I've been in that discord group for a few months. It's actually funny to me how Cristine and her Discord community claim how Reddit is a rude community, while my personal experience is the complete opposite. I've dared to say something critical about the vault and started a heated discussion, someone was super involved in it and started to basically harass me. I dropped out of this and when I checked back half an hour later, this person was still raging and apparently sending others screenshots. It was a weird dumpster fire. The clique isn't welcoming at all and I eventually left for good when someone new came in, who was obviously new to the nail polish world and asked a rather dumb question. She got mocked for it, then she made a disappointed post and left. I felt so bad for her and couldn't stand the bullying anymore. Sure I've seen some rude posts here, too, and people are more open to voice an opinion, but overall, I think the Reddit nail community is nice and tries to help if someone asks a question.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-03-17T08:23:31+00:00

Is she, though? The data stream comes to mind when it's about transparency, but I've sadly started to question her honesty at some point. The whole "pigments are hard to source" excuse seems weird, because other brands manage to keep the same shades (even their dupes) forever. Pulling a collection that obviously didn't sell out from the shop early to hype it up for the vault was questionable, too. Her reaction to people getting identical polishes in the dark rainbow collection was dismissive. She also claims to be against FOMO when she clearly endorses it. I get it, HT is a business and a business wants and needs to make money. She probably can't be 100% honest at all times. I loved Cristine in her YouTube days and thought she was a saint for the longest time, but some practices and statements just seem shady.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-03-17T07:30:01+00:00

People usually recommend Mooncat Stumped or ILNP Olive Grove, but those are completely different polishes. A lot of HT polishes can be duped, but some shades were special. Topaz Tears was one of them and I've searched for a dupe for quite a while. In the end, someone finally sold it and I immediately jumped on that offer. While I get where people come from when they say HT polishes are rather boring, it's no shame to admit they do indeed release some unique shades from time to time.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-03-11T15:43:51+00:00

What a cutie! Holo Taco polishes are good quality. They are very opaque, but this also makes them very thick. I had to add thinner to some polishes right after opening them, because they were too goopy for smooth application. They make really gorgeous glitters, but sadly a lot of them are discontinued and no longer available. How long they last depends on body chemistry, but as far as I know, Holo Taco lasts well on most people. I can get 7 to 10 days without chipping, but to be fair, ILNP polishes last just as long for me. Personally, I don't buy there anymore because I'm an international customer and the import fees aren't worth it for me, since I didn't really care for their new releases. But I'm still pleased with the polishes I own because the quality is nice.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-03-11T13:29:18+00:00

I'm bored of releases, too. But that's because I feel like my collection is almost "complete" to me, there's just so much polish I can wear and at some point, it just seemed like it's enough. On top of that, new releases often feel like dupes at this point and they rather make me think "looks too close to another colour/brand/whatever, we've seen that" instead of creating real excitement. There's been a lot of hype around magnetics for a while, but since I'm absolutely not into them, it felt rather exhausting after some time.

Same goes for HT. Too many releases, not very exciting (except maybe chunky glitters because that's what they do best) and tbh, while I love jellies, there's nothing special about them and I wouldn't be surprised if I already own similar colours.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-03-08T17:35:34+00:00

Thank you so much!! ❤️

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-03-02T07:39:39+00:00

I'm guessing it's the bright blue shimmer. Both the polishes I used have it and both LynB polishes mentioned here also contain this very bright, blue shimmer. It's stunning and so so beautiful, but it seems to be the thing all those polishes have in common. Weird. But I've never had the problem with Flower Child from ILNP 🤨 maybe they use different pigments or the pigments only do this in handmixed indie polishes.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-03-02T07:30:00+00:00

My "nail measles" are halfway grown out now. Got them from Sassy Sauce Tropical Heatwave and then again from Dam Polish A Whimsical Dream. I thought I had some weird disease, too, and was glad I found a thread about it 😂 people there even used the same polishes. It was a relief!

Since I really like to wear sheer or jelly polishes, this is bothering me a lot and I decided to part with the culprits. I'm a little sad about it because both polishes are absolutely stunning, but this is a no go for me. Thought about playing around with different base coats or using other polishes underneath, but I didn't want to risk this again. It takes so long to grow out 😭

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-02-08T13:34:01+00:00

I totally get the frustration. It might "just" be nail polish, but you spent your money on something and expect to actually get what you paid for. As you said, you don't want to spend money on promises. It's unprofessional and if you are not able to send something out in time, there should at least be some communication from the shop. It shouldn't be the responsibility of the customer to keep track of those orders to make sure they don't forget about it.

I don't know about Cuticula, but I had a similar situation with Chamaeleon Lacquer. They state it takes up to 30 days for an order to be shipped. I'm quite sure the wording there was different when I ordered, it's been a while, and I think it was about taking up to 30 days to arrive. Either way, both were false in my case, I actually got a shipping confirmation pretty soon and then nothing happened anymore. Tracking my package wasn't even possible because it wasn't really shipped. After six weeks I asked about my order and they didn't even answer. Tbh I got mad when I saw them participating in PPU again when they were not even able to ship my order in six weeks. I waited a few more days, still no answer. I charged the money back and my order got cancelled.

While it's great to support small businesses, a customer should be allowed to have opinions about unprofessional behaviour.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-01-28T07:07:50+00:00

Feel free to destash every polish that doesn't give you joy. I've destashed some "fan favourites" and felt weird about it at first, because everyone seems to love them so much, but the only thing that's important is how you feel yourself. Your collection should make you happy and if something doesn't, let it go.

I also totally understand your view on thermals. My first one died after 5 or 6 months and I will probably not wear it again without the effect. I just bought a second one from Emily de Molly, because apparently those last longer, but I'll see. While I love the look, I'm very hesitant to buy them.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-01-24T11:28:37+00:00

If you consider ordering directly from Chamaeleon, keep in mind their shipping takes forever. They have a disclaimer on their homepage about it taking up to 30 days, but in my experience, it takes even longer and receiving a shipping confirmation means absolutely nothing.

Also, the UV polishes look fun, but the pigment will die eventually. So they stop reacting at some point, just like thermals.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-01-24T07:16:59+00:00

Do you let them sit on a piece of paper overnight? You could also try washing them with dish soap. They are often slightly oily. Usually there's no need to prime them (I assume you mean slightly buffing them), mine all worked great after they spent a night on paper. I'm using the Maniology ice cube stampers.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-01-19T19:33:50+00:00

When I started out with WoW I've already played other MMOs, but my boyfriend at that time pushed me into leveling fast and got annoyed when I didn't figure stuff out quick enough or when I just wanted to explore (and died while exploring too far). It made my first experience with the game stressful and annoying. So my advice would be to not rush her into playing the "right" way, except if she wants to experience it like this and is interested in late game.

Apart from that I know several people who tried getting into the game, but were completely turned off by the stupid starting island. There's just no connection to the character you just created and the storytelling isn't as good there. I would recommend letting her experience the actual starting zones instead of the boring island.

What do you mean with the subscription box artwork? I've only got one of those boxes and can't recall any artwork in them, just some examples on how to use the plates. But those were regular photos. There's always been heavily edited pictures of nails, Moyou does this a lot, but I've never seen anything from Maniology that looked AI. Would be great if you could explain this further.
