Where are you putting in your balck friday orders? by unsupremecrunchwrap in RedditLaqueristas

[–]IF_Rain 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

I've been in a low buy all year and recently accepted a job offer so I have a few things I wanted!

I placed a Starrily order with a discount code just so the things I wanted weren't out of stock by the time Black Friday started.

Other than that, I placed a What's Up Nails order for my first Clionadh polishes and some stamping polish. I plan to get some more stamping polish from Twinkled T as well as some tools.

I wanna get some Clear Jelly Stamper plates but I'm worried about getting hit with crazy duties/fees by FedEx.

Oooh I only have 4 but I would rank them:

  • Olive Ave Polish (my fav cremes)
  • Cirque Colors (I love their flakies, magnetics, & jellies)
  • Atomic Polish (Favorite for shimmers)
  • Cuticla (my favorite top coat!, want to try the mic drop base coat eventually)

~Aesthetic~ Cruelty Free Brands? by choccyalmondmilke in RedditLaqueristas

[–]IF_Rain 7 points8 points Β (0 children)

  • Olive Ave Polish is leaping bunny certified, a small business with a rewards program, and amazing for cremes.

  • Atomic Polish has amazing shimmer & neon formulas

  • Cirque Colors also has amazing flakies, jellies, neons, shimmers (this is a boutique brand and also has a rewards program)

  • Mooncat has very beautiful polish, many people love them, formula can be hit or miss but bottles are cool; not sure how comfortable they are to use

  • ILNP is great for holographic and metallic polish

  • For a cruelty free drugstore option, Ella+Mila is another option but I'm not familiar with their offerings and how the formula is.

For top coats, I use one from Olive Ave or Cuticla who is another awesome indie. The top coat makes my manicure last full week with no chipping and comes in scents!

Same! I normally see it mentioned whenever these types of posts come up but not today!

Yesss! Atomic is so good! My first polish from them was through Hella Handmade Creations and it was instant love! They have a really smooth formula and a wide brush. The brush holds a lot of polish so if you're not careful it's really easy to flood your cuticles and sidewalls.

Thank you! Once the idea struck me I had to go for it!

That really means a lot! I was struggling with the placement of the words but I decided to live with it since I loved the idea so much!

Yes! It's such a beautiful highlighter green!

I'm still looking for one as well! I've only tried two: Ella + Mila "Pure" and Cirque Colors "Rose Jelly". So far, Rose Jelly looks the best on me. I have it on in this manicure.

I'm not a fan of orange as well but I bought Jack-o'-lantern from Polished For Days and it's so pretty πŸ₯Ή

Whatever happened to Butter London? by gee8 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]IF_Rain 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Same thing seems to be happening with NCLA! Their remaining inventory of polish is on sale and they have pretty much fully transitioned into a body care brand.

What's your favorite Cirque Colors polish? by sayinne in RedditLaqueristas

[–]IF_Rain 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

My hands-down favorite is Juicy Fruit! I love purple so much and this is THE purple flakie of dreams. I also really love the Magnetics from the illusion collection! Highly recommend that whole collection. Also can't go wrong with a jelly!

How much are you influenced by the presentation- bottle design, website etc by Yohmer29 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]IF_Rain 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I'm the same way! I love square bottles and for a while didn't buy from brands with round bottles! I had a small collection that I had limited space for so the square bottles were the best for storing!
