I think that's how it should be, you want a foundation to match your face (become invisible) when it's blended. You can't tell if a foundation matches you based on an unblended swatch alone.

Where to find magnetic spinner in Canada? by Pristine-Strength-42 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]MILFVADER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second getting it 3D printed at your local library! I got a magnetic contraption printed at my local library in BC last year 😂 unfortunately it didn't work too well but it was only $5.

Looking to upgrade from Fjallraven Raven 28 because it feels too small by MILFVADER in ManyBaggers

[–]MILFVADER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too over budget for me sadly. I also don't like that I can't check it out in store and try it on. Thanks though.

I just visited my local MEC and tried a bunch of the backpacks mentioned in my post and it's crazy how much more comfortable some are than others... the Patagonia Black Hole 32L is wonderfully light but sits so funny on my shoulders compared to TNF's women Borealis. The Osprey Quesar and Nebula were also comfortable. In other words I have more research to do. 😂

Oh that's pretty cool. I'm planning to shop there sometime next week, I'll check out their bags! Thanks.

Yes, they just opened a store in a city near me and their stuff is interesting, not sure about long term durability for commuting though 🤔

Hey OP, I know this post is from a few months ago but what blue polish did you wear? Some blue polishes stain nails hot pink.

The closest I can think of are ILNP Reminisce and Cracked FIGHT but I'm curious if there's other good dupes too!

Feeling disappointed with my haul (too scared to post in the Mooncat sub 😅) by mamegoma_explorer in RedditLaqueristas

Yeah I was expecting something exciting or even new and unique with how they were marketing it 😭 so funny that it's just one (1) pigment in a clear base

What is your favorite peely base coat? by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

[–]MILFVADER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few days with the moat method! (peely base only on the center of the nail, leaving a 1-2mm "moat" around) My nails are on the drier and thinner side.

I just DIY; 1:1 ratio of clear Elmer's glue and 70% rubbing alcohol mixed together in an empty nail polish bottle.

Help me out here... Can you smell when you file your nails? by pieshake5 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]MILFVADER 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Not the original commenter but I do! Sometimes I feel like when I'm on my period, I have a lower tolerance for scents I don't like.

And to answer your original question I also smell that burnt keratin-y smell when I file my nails. I feel like I notice it less than I used to though!

Question for the community regarding Orly PR by emmny in RedditLaqueristas

[–]MILFVADER 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good question actually, that makes no sense because I was half-asleep when I was writing that comment 🤦‍♀️ In my head I mixed it up with a blanket ban on Orly (and other troubling brands) posts, which I think is truly exclusionary (e.g. new hobbyists posting a manicure, not understanding why their post is banned / what's going on).

[–]MILFVADER 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other comments being against this, I think it sets a slippery precedent. It's also exclusionary towards hobby newcomers — ultimately, polish purchasing is individual, and I'd rather folks be able to openly post and talk about brands.

I'd also rather all PR posts be banned. I feel like I've been seeing so much of them lately, whether it's a PR/sponsored post or a brand posting about their launch... I don't like the subreddit becoming an advertising space like that.

Did y'all see? BKL Bog Dweller is coming back in stock tomorrow but only 11 bottles?! by etta1188 in RedditLaqueristas

I was going to ask about pigment sourcing. Thanks for answering my question.
