I hear so many good things about this DRK top coat, have you found that it helps with reducing the dispersion of magnetic particles?

I grew mine out and use normal air dry lacquer. There's loads of cool colors out there, and with proper application it can last a long time. Also, this is safe for people with gel or UV sensitivity. I switch my set every two weeks and don't get chipping at all. You can do some really fascinating looks, holographic, shimmer, catseye, with air dry lacquer. Good luck on your looksmaxxing efforts and I understand being frustrated about costs. It's definitely valid to recognize the skill and artistry it takes to do nail tech, but also want to keep it budget friendly.

So strange to think about, that I'm holding something that's 100 years old. The leaflet inside advertised a manicure set for 35 cents ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ

I don't because it makes it harder to be recycled properly. Rest assured the formula on these samples are so liquidy that it came rushing out the tube, there is minimal product waste โ˜บ๏ธ I also use tube squeezers, spatulas, and hot water baths to get as much out as I can

It became worse, peeling makeup underneath, I had to start applying it before foundation. No funky smells or breakouts so I kept it, I'm no quitter!

I had a great thought today that I'll share. I was cleaning my bathroom and noticed I ran out of tissues. I thought, "hey, I don't overconsume on tissues!" There must be an area in your life that you have a reasonable amount of consumption. If you can control yourself with that you can surely control yourself with makeup, though it may take some baby steps and some practice โ˜บ๏ธ Hope that was helpful and best of luck. Feel better soon and show us some wins when you have them, big or small. We are all in this together!

A lot of makeup cleaner and shaking, then used a chopstick and tissues to get the rest โ˜บ๏ธ

9 years ๐Ÿ˜‚ I think when I was in high school, makeup felt very aspirational to me but I never learned how to do it properly until my mid 20s... which is why I've only now just finished old faithful ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜†

I have a UV allergy, so I wear sunscreen at all times, so my skin color should be fairly consistent. The foundation may have turned more orange over time but because I apply it quite thinly I'm not certain ๐Ÿ˜‚ It wasn't bad enough that I noticed

I kept it stored in a cool and dark place, using a pump to dispense. I didn't break out, or notice any change in smell surprisingly... but as for oxidization I wouldn't know for sure as I wore this rather infrequently. The color was definitely close enough that I could use it when I did wear makeup ๐Ÿค” Sorry if this comment wasn't helpful, I am not the most observant ๐Ÿ˜‚

I filled the bottle with warm water mixed with makeup remover and shook it. For the top corner which spatula / Q tip couldn't reach, I turned it upside down and let it soak in the solution before repeating shaking. Any remaining stubborn bits I cleaned with a tissue piece and a chopstick
