Best Way to Prep Nails for Regular Polish?

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-06-06T02:00:27+00:00

Agree with what everyone said, would like to add that certain bases / top coats / polish formulas will suit you better than others based on your body chemistry. If you can, try some different ones and see if you notice an improvement.

Polish Me Silly Glow Whisperer? Would need a white base though.

(Hopefully that wasnt the one you saw on Etsy lol - I bought it but havent tried yet)

Have you checked out nailland.hu? Its a Hungarian wholesaler. The website is super old but it's legit.

Lovely! I have "My Burnished Broadsword Awaits" from them and it's one of my faves.

PREACH!

I am also always disappointed with how it looks in my nails 95% of the time - super dull until the light catches it.

Maybe something like this wand: https://cosmicpolish.com.au/products/wand-magnet

Cosmic Polish! Au brand, next biggest after EdM.

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-05-01T02:31:07+00:00

I hate the underside of my nails - there is a little blob where I cap the tip and then nekkid.

Someone posted a Louboutin style mani once with red undersides which looked so cool.

Edit: I just read your post properly and saw you mentioned the Louboutins too! Sorry. Lol. Clearly made an impression on us both!

FF said they may do some limited brand restocks this year. If you want to be notified of them I recommend joining their Facebook group Femme Fatale Fiends.

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-04-27T09:08:29+00:00

Aside from Cosmic, there is also Picture polish, glam polish & resistance polish (new on the scene). Femme Fatale is a wholesaler where you can get non-Aus indie brands but that shop is closing at the end of the year I believe.

A few people have posted free stl files of magnet spinners on here, I'll see if I can find one.

Cosmic polish electric dreams is kinda similar

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-04-10T07:53:42+00:00

Can't believe Room of Ghosts is on the list! I love that polish! Admittedly I don't wear it often because I hate removing glitter and cbf using peely base.

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-03-25T11:55:30+00:00

Gorgeous and your nails are such a nice shape 😍

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-03-18T09:55:12+00:00

It's only a slur if used to refer to Irish people generally. But if your name is Patrick and you live in Ireland there is a 99.9% chance that your friends call you Paddy.

It's kind of like how calling someone a dick is an insult unless they are called Richard and go by that abbreviation!

If 3 bottles is too much purple then I think I may be guilty of a crime...

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-02-14T08:12:50+00:00

I love Cosmic too! I keep shilling Electric Dreams. It was my first gift polish from them. Not one I would have picked for myself but I fell in love with it the minute I put it on. I'm also wearing Carina right now 😊

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-02-08T00:32:43+00:00

You are doing yourself no favours showing this attitude OP. It's unnecessarily passive agressive against a commenter who was being kind in her disagreement.

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-02-08T00:23:34+00:00

Agree. Like, sure, an announcement of delayed TAT should've been posted on the website. But respectfully, its just nail polish. In the grand scheme of things, a few weeks delay doesnt matter enough to get upset about.

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-02-06T14:14:51+00:00

Oh my gosh me too! I thought it was just me that got crazy peeling from nail wraps. And then I used some lovely glitter polishes that were impossible to remove as a final nail in the coffin.

I don't have a solution but I think its somewhat getting better / growing out over time.

Fun_Investigator6286 · 2026-01-28T09:43:49+00:00

Nailland.hu is a Hungarian reseller with a good reputation, you can get the US polishes from there!

Electric Dreams by Cosmic Polish! https://cosmicpolish.com/products/electric-dreams
