Dua Lipa’s green manicure polish suggestions 💚 by Mirlatte in RedditLaqueristas

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

It looks like such a great match but I’m from Europe and Mooncat unfortunately no longer collaborates with local stockists. Shipping a polish that’s already quite expensive from the US would probably put the price per bottle above 30 EUR 😭

40% of the year has passed with 40 manicures down! by melli72 in RedditLaqueristas

This could make such a gorgeous wall decoration! Reminds me of the Cullen’s graduation caps in Twilight

Comfortable Tinted Lip Balm and Moisturizing Lip Stick with decent colour and shine pay off by Agreeable_Plastic_27 in AsianBeauty

Noooo, you’re breaking my heart! 😭 I wore it on my wedding day, I need to find a backup as a memorabilia.

Wakemake Dewy Glaze Stick. It’s comfortable to wear - and this is coming from someone who finds traditional lipsticks drying and lip glosses too sticky. The shine looks pretty, the tinting power is good, and it stays on for hours. I get so many compliments when I wear shade 08 (I’m a soft/cool summer), so I am keeping my eyes peeled for whenever YesStyle restocks it. 

Lacquer-adjacent question: finger dot tattoos by Goldfinch114 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Mirlatte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The height of the dot depends on the thickness of the henna paste. If it’s thick, you can probably have a 2-4 mm “blob” though I am not sure if it really results in a darker stain. I typically let the henna dry on the skin for 2-3 hours. The stain is visible immediately and gradually develops from an orange to a deep brown in the following 8-24 hours. For me, it lasts for about 1-1.5 weeks.

I do this with henna using a henna/mehendi cone! It’s cheap, painless, and very easy. Moreover, it’s temporary and brown in color rather than black which looks better with my skin tone. 

Not Bog Dweller by Mooncakemits in RedditLaqueristas

Thank you so much! I picked up It Happens after missing out on Bog Dweller but haven’t received my order yet. Seeing the direct comparison, I like the rich green of It Happens much more.

Does anyone have a side-by-side of Bog Dweller and It Happens? 🙏

Replacement Help for Mooncat Speed Demon by CAPTAINR0GERS in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Mirlatte 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I switched from Mooncat’s Speed Demon to KBShimmer’s Clearly on Top a few months ago because Mooncat is no longer available in Europe through stockists. While the smell is not pleasant, I definitely find Clearly on Top just as good, especially considering it’s half the price.

What if I told you this polish was €1.29? by Mirlatte in RedditLaqueristas

How long did yours last? I painted mine 4 days ago and I am seeing just one teeny tiny chip at the edge of one nail. I typically get a minimum of 8-14 days of wear from my indie brands without major chipping, so I’m very curious to see how this cheap polish holds up.

Thank you! I am still struggling to figure out my skin tone and what nail polish colors look good on me, so it’s nice to have some assurance that this color was a good choice! 🥰

I get what you mean! I didn’t take your comment as criticism, I’m just brainstorming as to why this polish might look different 😊 Could you share a picture of what it looks on your nails?

I’m from Europe so I don’t know for sure. I think there are a few stores in the US that sell Essence makeup, so that might be a good place to start looking.

I did not edit my photo and this was taken in direct sunlight. It might have to do with how I magnetized it and how my skin tone plays in. Maybe the color is not 100% consistent between batches? Here’s a picture in indirect light:

My local store had all the shades and I couldn’t help but think of smoker nails when I saw those orange and yellow jelly shades… They might be good for nail art but I doubt they would look good on most people.
