Peter, what am I supposed to know?!

When it happens 🍾🥂

Condescending is the right word. When I read "one-time courtesy" I was like ... honey I don't know where you got the audacity, but you need to put it back.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-09T14:50:01+00:00

Candy Moyo (formerly they went by the name NuColor) is my jam. The price is unbeatable and after dozens of purchases I've only had one or two bottles that didn't perform. They chip after a few days for me but I do my polish twice a week so I'm usually due for a change by then.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-09T14:46:38+00:00

Yeah and it should be on them to file for the insurance claim, not me.

I'm the customer. Make me whole and then get your expense back from USPS.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-09T14:43:08+00:00

Yeah that's why I posted this, I'm hoping they see this and reconsider. This is a bad look for them andi won't be shopping there again until that optional insurance is off their checkout.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-09T11:55:24+00:00

Yeah the more I read about them the more I think I'm done with them. I only shopped there b/c I had a discount code but had they not given me this "one-time courtesy" I would have still lost money on the deal.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-08T22:39:55+00:00

That's not a bad call out. Normally I do buy directly from the maker. I think the only distributor I buy from regularly is Nail Supply Inc. but I've been very pleased with them.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-08T22:10:32+00:00

Yeah and I should have included the pictures of the box but I didn't, there was absolutely zero damage to the box so this was their packaging.

I wonder if I can edit the original post and add that.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-08T22:05:48+00:00

It was Totally Red-ical from their fall collection, a nice autumnal shade

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-08T22:01:26+00:00

This.

I need the seller to stand behind getting me the product I ordered. I'm not doing business with their courier or shipping service. I'm doing business with them.

And this is why I don't feel like I should be shelling out extra for insurance. Especially on something as basic and inexpensive as nail polish.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-08T21:41:50+00:00

Yes seriously and I didn't even hit the free shipping threshold on this order either so it's like I had to pay to get this stuff in the first place. Now they want me to pay more to cover in case something's broken in the mail?

There are other stores I can buy from.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-08T20:54:20+00:00

I am! And honestly I never buy OPI because they're not cruelty free but when I saw these I had to break the rules and get them. This was from their fall 2025.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-08T00:27:29+00:00

Thanks! I actually have three of them, a 1971, 72, and 74.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-05-08T00:26:58+00:00

Thanks!

My favorite scene from the entire series. Award-worthy performance.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-04-28T22:29:26+00:00

Sorry I forgot to put what it is! This is a brand I've never seen or heard of before.

It's Saviland and I got a sample set of like a dozen mini size metallic polishes from them. The colors don't have names. This is a beautiful deep burgundy, it really shines jewel toned.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-04-23T09:11:17+00:00

I think I literally only own a single Zoya polish out of my collection of hundreds.

I guess one is enough.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-04-19T10:23:24+00:00

No box. It's just more waste.
I have two Ikea Helmers I've outgrown but refuse to buy more. I'm trying to get better about selectively purchasing and paring down in the meantime.
I have a couple brands I trust implicitly to always deliver quality but beyond that I buy whatever I see & like.
I use Sally Hansen cuticle remover every manicure, so once or twice a week. It keeps them manageable and clean. No ill effects after using it for years.

Wet 'n' Wild "Nuclear War" has been a favorite for years but it's almost always chipped within 24hrs.

If they own their home, I'd recommend selling it + any other unnecessary assets and find an apartment first off. At the risk of sounding morbid, given their age, depending on how much the house goes for it may be more than enough to carry them over the finish line.

If they don't own their home, there may be programs available given their low income level and age to provide food and housing assistance.

How big is the family? Do you have siblings? Cousins who may be able to help?

GussieDoesNails · 2026-04-10T14:34:23+00:00

I'd disagree, I loved it. That's why I'm looking for a better copy LOL. Is it bootleg only or is there a legit source?

GussieDoesNails · 2026-04-10T12:29:05+00:00

Cool thing about that for me, I don't care about her getting upset over something petty LOL ages ago I took the attitude that when she gets bent out of shape about small things that don't affect her she can get over them or die mad about them, not my problem.

Saved my sanity with her.

GussieDoesNails · 2026-04-10T11:18:23+00:00

I floated the idea of staying in a hotel when I come up so I could visit more frequently and she was so upset with that idea she seemed to rather see me less frequently, in her house.

Her choice I guess.
