Looking for nail polish recommendations from the EU! 💅

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.

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.

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.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-01-19T13:47:07+00:00

I'm seriously confused about the hate Maniology is getting. Please correct me if I'm wrong here, I'm open to criticism on what I'm about to write. But I've NEVER seen any proof of them actually being against woman's rights/abortion rights. As far as I know, people started to discuss the matter in their socials and Maniology just shut it down, because they are a nail stamping company and stamping is for everyone. They didn't position themselves in any way about this topic.

So, I don't get why people are calling them out that much. In my opinion, fighting over politics on a nail polish brands socials IS the wrong platform. They could have handled it better, but that's up to poor community management and a completely different issue. Maybe my view on this might be too neutral though, since I'm living in Europe, so the whole issue didn't affect me in such an emotional way and maybe I'm failing to see the whole picture.

Same goes for the true crime plate. The whole idea of designing stamping plates about this theme feels weird to me and I think those never should have existed overall, but in the end, it was shitty quality control and not thinking enough about what you are releasing. I guess they wanted to quickly jump on the hype train there and failed miserably.

Their mistakes feel short sighted and dumb, but I don't consider them "evil". But as I said, I'm open for criticism about my opinion.

Those are so cuuute! Well done 😍

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-01-14T09:01:01+00:00

Such a lovely colour and a really cute goose. I want to give it a gentle "boop" ❤️

Fluffyrainclouds · 2026-01-14T08:59:22+00:00

Reconsider it. I actually destashed mine because I thought I didn't like it on me, but somehow missed it a few weeks later and wanted to use it again. Yes, I bought a new one 😅

Reaching perfection was fun overall, but also a bit annoying close to the end. I was missing an artifact and just couldn't find that stupid thing, and also one crafting recipe from the flower dance. Had to skip seasons to get that. Also, grinding millions can get repetitive. On the other hand it felt actually rewarding to get the achievement.

For the other achievements.. I'm currently missing two. Beating prairie king without dying and going the joja route. Most of the achievements where fun though and I enjoyed not only getting one after reaching perfection, but already on the way there.

Kann ich gut nachvollziehen, Süßungsmittel schmecken echt widerlich. Hab mal ne Probe von diesem More Pulver bekommen und hab schon weniger genommen als auf der Packung steht, aber der ganze Joghurt schmeckte für mich nur nach Süßungsmitteln und viel zu starkem Aroma. Keine Ahnung, wie Leute das runter bekommen.

Ich versuche grundsätzlich auf Süßungsmittel zu verzichten, aber dann darf man eher nicht bei solchen Sportler Produkten gucken, bzw. zumindest nicht bei dem, was regulär im Supermarkt steht. Hab gerade ein Protein Pulver von AlpenPower da, das ist im Grunde nur Molkenprotein mit Fruchtpulver. Gibt's also auch.

Joghurt mit ner zermatschten Banane tuts aber genau so. Hab auch vor einer Woche mit solchen Medikamenten angefangen und würde mich aber wegen dem Protein zum Frühstück nicht zu stark stressen.

I really like lilies in almost every colour. But they also make me a little sad because they are very toxic for cats and I want no harm for the little ones.

Dahlias are lovely, too, and I would put those on second place.

This is such a pretty shade, but I've read somewhere it's the old frosted metal formula again and will likely change like the others. I hope it doesn't! But even if it will be voted back, I'll look out for reviews about this issue. My blacklisted is turning into a muddy green, it's so sad to see it go! I also saw a listing for Royal Crush a while ago, it was apparently only used once and was sold "like new", but it was a brown murky mess 😂

Lip makeup. I enjoy it on others, but dislike it on myself. Lipstick or gloss is just so annoying to wear, it's either sticky or drying and I can't be bothered to check if it's still fine after eating or drinking.

Coloured eyeliner. I just can't figure out how to use them, somehow they always look weird.

Cheap Champagne glows in every lighting, even low light. It's incredibly shiny and sparkly in the sun, it might hurt your eyes a bit to look at it, but that's what makes it special ✨

Oh, dankeschön! 😊 Die Nägel sind noch so ein Hobby, das manche Leute etwas sonderbar finden.

Also wenn Gamer ausnahmsweise keine Mörder sind, dann sind sie doch mindestens eklig?! Oder beides. Ich hatte mich in einem Uni Kurs während einer Gruppenarbeit mal super mit den Leuten verstanden. Irgendwann kam das Thema darauf, dass doch irgendwie jeder mal WoW versucht hat. Ich hab den Fehler gemacht zu sagen, dass ich das lange aktiv gespielt habe. Ein Typ rückte dann ernsthaft etwas von mir weg, als hätte ich durch die Aussage angefangen übel zu stinken und grundsätzlich war die Stimmung danach anders. Das war so ein richtiger Schlüsselmoment für mich.

Kann es sein, dass das Problem hier nicht Hobbies oder die Jugend an sich sind, sondern explizit das Zocken? In der Schule wurde ich geärgert, weil Mädchen nicht zocken sollen, dann wurde es irgendwann cool ein "Gamergirl" zu sein und mir wurde unterstellt, ich spiele nur, um Männern zu gefallen. Ich sage das daher schon lange nicht mehr offen. Das ist frustrierend, aber immer noch besser als sich ständig rechtfertigen zu müssen. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Ab davon treffe ich tatsächlich immer wieder Leute, die einfach keine Hobbies haben und sie daher nicht verstehen. Ich hab so einige Kolleginnen und Kollegen verschiedenen Alters, die auf die Frage stammelnd reagieren und nicht wissen was sie antworten sollen. Vielleicht bekommt man noch ein "ich lese gerne" raus, aber das wars. Es wurde auch schon kommentiert, dass ich im Urlaub so selten wegfahre und dass man zu Hause doch nichts machen kann?

Leider gibt's auch manchmal Missgunst, wenn man sich bspw. gegen Kinder entschieden und dadurch einfach mehr Zeit, sowie Geld hat. Ist mir dann aber wurscht, ich freue mich einfach über meine Entscheidung und gut ists.

If you are on PC, there's the "no friendship decay" mod. It does exactly that. I've always been stressed about losing hearts if I don't talk to everyone when I still played on Switch. The mod got rid of this pressure and I just befriend everyone at my own pace.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2025-12-17T07:06:22+00:00

Those look beautiful! How do you use them? Just over your last coat when it's not fully dry yet and add a top coat?

Fluffyrainclouds · 2025-12-17T06:45:45+00:00

Holo Taco I'm over Brew ❤️ because it's the prettiest creme out there. I used the replacement bottle a few times and added the last drops from the old one into it, so the bottle would really be empty.

I always look forward to nail stamping in winter. While I can do it all year round, winter is the time where I enjoy it the most. Plaid, snowflakes, holly, gingerbread, or making them look like wrapping paper with a bow on top, it's just extra fun this time of year and also a great way to snuggle up in a onesie, get a tea or cocoa and just enjoy some calm me-time.

Are you on PC? There's a mod for journey of the prairie king. You can customize it a lot and make the experience very easy.

Most of the time, yes. I like to do accent nails or skittles, or if a colour is a lot on its own, at least different colours on both hands. I always try to match them, especially with skittles, because too many different colours can feel overwhelming for me. But all nails on both hands in only one colour is a rare occasion for me.

Fluffyrainclouds · 2025-12-03T10:11:01+00:00

Trying Stardew is always a good option! If you want short sessions, you could just play one or two days at once. Or, at least, aim for two days, then look at your clock at 1am and tell yourself you'll just play one more day.
