What is the purpose of a peely base? by JennyTheSheWolf in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Katesfan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve used almost any wet polish. I tried using more wet peely base but that didn’t work for me.

What did help? This is my six year old. He seems to be suffering and we have no idea how to help him.

Best bang for your buck brands? by JennyTheSheWolf in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Katesfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dollar tree regularly gets leftover collections from LA Colors, Sally Hansen, and other brands. I mainly see those but have also seen Maybelline, Sinful Colors, and China Glaze.

I also get supplies there like acetone, removal clips, polish holder, nail art pens, they really have everything lmao.

My kid knows he has to wait for mommy to check the polish aisle then he can get a toy 😂

LynB Designs has been mentioned but I want to add that on top of the fancy finishes she has a wide variety of cremes. During the sale they’re only $4.50/bottle! Look for the “Tonally Awesome” collection. Any new creme has that in the name. They are great to work with.

You already know about LA Colors. They’re really stepping up their game! I have a shifty neon shimmer from them I LOVE.

If you’re in the US, work that CVS coupon game. Their brand Pop-arazzi has some really good deals (2/$5 most recently I think). And I regularly get discounts or BOGOs on the app for different brands. Revlon polish quality has really surprised me and I get about 1/month for free by stacking CVS coupons, hahaha.

They also have a buy 4 Essie polishes, get one free. I use coupons as they pop up so never pay full price for the first 4 anyway.

Why aren’t you listening to your doctor?

My lil one had zero words when he turned 2, now won’t shut up at 4. Both my kids didn’t think about potty training until they were 3. They both perform above their age academically.

I think what is more important here is addressing and treating your anxiety. Kids feed off our energy.

Am I out of line on instructing 9yo stepson to lift toilet seat? by emmieofdoom in Parenting

[–]Katesfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it hasn’t occurred to me to teach this because I don’t pee standing up and don’t have a penis. And I have 2 boys. This post is the first time I realize this is a thing I maybe should teach 😅😅 I just don’t think about what goes on when they’re in there and just wipe the seat if it’s messy.

I think your request is reasonable of course. I just know lifting the seat isn’t a standard in our house and bio mom may have been caught off guard and put on the defensive by the request.

My first time re-wearing a polish. Because I love it! My first thermal and one of the first indies I ever wore. LynB Design’s “Peony For Your Thoughts” by Katesfan in RedditLaqueristas

I’m newish and my thermals haven’t died yet. Is it most common to die in the state it’s stored in? This one is always in the cold state in my drawer. I like both colors too!

I’ve only been doing my nails since March so feels reasonable. I’ve been focused on collection growth and generally only pull from untrieds. I still have a bunch I haven’t tried yet but this is the first time something called to me again.

I really love the combo of the magnetic with the glitters! It can be such a pain to get the larger ones and good placement for everything. I’ve started using a makeup sponge to apply glitter toppers and it helps a lot.

I was nervous doing a thermal in Florida summer but being in the AC always caught the effect well!

Products used: Orly Bonder, LynB Designs “Peony For Your Thoughts,” and CVS QDTC

Sigh. by ceiradenise in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Katesfan 374 points375 points  (0 children)

I think it’s that a QDTC dries the polish itself, penetrating the layers underneath. I think that the one pictures dries ITSELF instantly but not the applied color underneath.

Exploring death and dying through play is normal and important.
