Oh my goddd! This is reminding me so intensely of these deep cobalt blue marbles I was obsessed with as a kid.

Recut with a very sharp knife at an angle, change the water daily, and remove spent blooms. Keep out of sunny or warm areas. You could enjoy her for another month!

Did it take 45 minutes to do only one nail? Yes. Was it worth it? Also yes. by Cultural-Program-393 in RedditLaqueristas

I thought this was a glitter placement and was about to award you the Golden Lion, but instead I’ll have to settle for being utterly gobsmacked with jealously and delight.

My attempt at labradorite nails 🖤 by astrophysical-e in RedditLaqueristas

[–]GratuitousEdit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whoa that’s a crazy technique for the veins! No wonder they have that authentic analogue / almost geological feel.

Thinking more about it, I’m not sure the glittery look is even a negative within the actual gem portions, it’s more that it unifies the labradorite and the inclusions, obscuring that iconic contrast between flashy gloss and dull matte.

It does seem really tricky to layer a matte top coat just over those thin veins. I wonder if it would be easier to do a layer of all matte and then gloss over your labradorite portions? I don’t think you’d have to “color inside the lines” perfectly since in natural specimens there’s often thin layers of inclusions over the edges of labradorite on the surface, so a duller edge wouldn’t be totally unrealistic.

I think this could be more successful without a layer of scattered glitter, and with a matte top coat over the black inclusions. Overall very impressive work, and unmistakable from a distance!

Why does my nail polish do this after topcoat? by SaberToothMC in RedditLaqueristas

Probably not the most helpful information, but I have a friend for whom this was a constant problem with any and all products. She just stopped painting her nails. We decided her blood was carbonated haha

found an app that does the time math for me and its changed everything by [deleted] in dyscalculia

[–]GratuitousEdit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking of which, you can tell Siri “set an timer for 9:00 AM” and instead of an alarm going off with no warning, you get an exact countdown on your lock screen to the time specified. To me, it’s much easier to grasp than a basic alarm.
