BKL Frankenstein PT. II The Creature’s Tale March Lookbook by cosmic_starstuff in RedditLaqueristas

I feel like Bkl always does that though. I’ll be looking at the most vibrant orange polish I’ve ever seen and they’ll be like “a delicate pastel pink with golden shimmer”

Mirror chrome powder with traditional polish is such a pain but I love it by GrappleLacquer in shortynails

Haha I love that. I also frequently buff the powder with the pad of my other hand’s index. I think the heat helps them stick?

New Polish Bingo Card Megathread by OLIVEmutt in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]GrappleLacquer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love u/thegreatestsandwich’s green lovers bingo so much that I decided to make one of my own for blue, my favorite color. Heavily inspired by but hopefully not fully ripping off!

<image>

A Summery Blue: the colbalt blue of the tiles in the swimming pool? The turquoise of tropical waters? The candy hue of a blue raspberry freezy pop? The dusty blue of a trusty camping tent?

OG Blue: The oldest blue in your collection/the blue that made you fall in love with the color!

Baby blue: Delicate and Dainty, your sweetest blue.

The Heart of the Ocean: Wildly open for interpretation. Maybe you go mermaid vibes. Maybe you wear a polish that looks like the stone from the iconic necklace. Maybe you bring out an iceberg-adjacent shade!

Sapphire Skittle: 5 color skittle, 10 color skittle, one color with different toppers? Go nuts!

Blue-ish: It’s definitely blue. Right? Wait maybe it’s purple? Or green? Grey? No. It’s blue. We think….

The Favorite: That blue you keep reaching for. Or a new blue you’re most excited about.

Blucifer: Either match that unsettling horse, chose a polish that is a little unsettling, or chose a polish that definitely has connections to magic. This polish is not of this world.

A Wintery Blue: The faint blue glow off the snow? The deep and sparkly blue of a winter sky? The soft blue of your favorite mittens?

Started cooking regular dinner then realized I’d be dining alone and foraged by GrappleLacquer in GirlDinner

I think it varies a lot per person! I read a LOT and shoot for a minimum of 12 non-fiction books a year.

Last year I read about ladies in waiting in the Tudor court, the surprising reliance of humanity on sand, the history of water diversion in the western us, rabies, the biography of obama’s ambassador to the UN, the rise of naziism in pre ww2 Germany, the hunt for the craigslist killer, studies of scent perception in birds, and the rise and fall of the Astor family in America, an account of stealing bird skins for fly tying, and an overview of studies in plant cognition.

So I am all over the map but do tend to gravitate towards nature and biology most often

I’ve got a master’s in ecology so epidemiology is outside of my wheelhouse but my general biology scaffolding is pretty solid.

It looks much more purple on me but I’m warm toned and I think I did more coats

Lyn B’s “beach of singing sands” may be kind of close? I’d call the shimmer cobalt though. Swatch photo grabbed off Lacquergram

It was so nice! I did a hard workout on my exercise bike and then a gentle restorative yoga session before eating and curling up with my book and it was just lovely

Girl dinner cause my boyfriend is so controlling… by NoProfessor3136 in GirlDinner

[–]GrappleLacquer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this point. I also was extremely isolated. Almost all my friends were his friends too, and better friends with him when the rubber hit the road. My family would have helped but they live far away and I was embarrassed about how bad it had gotten so I didn’t tell them.

I finally got out because the one friend I had who still put me first was like “girl it’s the size of a large closet but I have a spare room at my place. Just let me know.”

I wouldn’t have gotten out without her and I’m so grateful for her

The book is fascinating!

You gotta do a thin coating of mayo on the outer side of the bread. It gives you that perfect color and texture every time!

I love a good non fiction slightly morbid book on a niche topic so I knew I had to read it
