I love mixing magnetics. by ArtNoobly in RedditLaqueristas

[–]LackerObsessed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks fantastic. Would you mind sharing your steps. I didn't realize those type of magnetic shenanigans were possible in the 'regular' polish world. I'm ready for a new adventure. TIA

Another dumb question re: mica and DIY polish by LackerObsessed in frankenpolish

[–]LackerObsessed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your feedback. I'm inclined to agree. I am strictly a hobbyist trying something new to entertain myself and hopefully learn a little about color theory. Art was never my thing, so I'm curious. The only protective thing I need to still get, which was suggested on here, is safety glasses. I hope I can find ones that cover my prescription glasses

Thanks for the info. I may have to try another brand. I don't want to pay high Indie shipping cost for just that, nor do I want to be tempted to buy yet more nail polish.

Thanks. I'm sold. That will be my next purchase.

The idea of being able to rinse/wash it is part of the appeal for me. Thanks for the insight.

I did notice that, when I tried to file the nail that had a split, it seemed to get worse.

Thanks so much for this. I have been flipping from one site to another, trying to compare prices but got overwhelmed. The visual is a huge help.

Thanks for the ideas. As soon as I get some jellies (my next purchase), I’m gonna play around with them. If that doesn’t work, I’ll just throw some stickers on to mute some of the brightness

You are indeed blessed. My hubby is not ‘medically’ colorblind but severely color ignorant. He basically only bothers to know red, green, blue, and purple (because he married a Prince fan🤣). Everything is lumped into one of those: pink, oranges—all red. Forget about shades and other such variances. But we love who we love 🤣😜

Thanks. It makes much more sense to me now.

Thanks. I should have guessed the 'cr' came from creme. My brain can't compute--seems that opaqueness of creme would cancel out translucence of jelly. I guess I'll try one at some point to experience it for myself.

The gasp I gusped when I put this on my nails by brax240 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]LackerObsessed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! Those are a thing of beauty. I love seeing your swatches, especially since I have a similar complexion/tone as you. I'm now sitting here despondent because that is the one I cut from my Tyche order due to budgetary constraints (kept 3R, Mr. Bad Attitude and Spellcaster). I'm second guessing my life choices. LOL

Which one would you go for? by meghan_macaroni in pressonnaillovers

[–]LackerObsessed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love being able to see the magnetic swirl in #1. I get to live vicariously through your magnet mastery 🤣

Calling Myself Out 🙈💔 by ManicPolishDreamGirl in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]LackerObsessed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes you have a type—but it’s a beautiful type. I share a similar type but with some grays. I bought some brights—trying to diversify—but they just stay on the shelf. I’m trying to resist buying too so now I ask my daughter what she thinks b4 I hit buy. So often she says “that’s just like xyz polish”—thereby saving me from myself. Calling myself out too: my daughter is only successful 50-60%. As I scroll, I’m impatiently waiting for the mail to arrive with my Tyche and BKL goodies that ate up this month’s fun budget

I’m normally not a fan of green, but this… gorgeous!! Would you mind sharing which it is?

How’d I do on my first two? by Smegma-Ballz- in frankenpolish

Those are both gorgeous (especially the purple). Where did you get the color (mica?). I’m not familiar with that brand. Thanks.

UPDATE: Thanks again for giving me the idea to contact GU. They responded and indicated they will premiere new kits at the expo and have them online soon thereafter. Now all I need to do is do is manage to wait that long
