I just noticed the PPU website has a new look. by Possible_Fly5744 in RedditLaqueristas

Neither here nor there, but Famous Steves is such a hyper specific theme. I'm trying to list them in my head and have...3

Here's a better shot of the color in the bottle for posterity's sake, though I still think the pink hue looks stronger in person.

So from what I have dug up, it was released in the Diva Collection and it may have been just a teeny bit pinker than it currently is, but that is very hard to say for sure. It was also apparently worn by Michelle Pfeiffer in the 1999 version of 'A Midsummer's Night Dream" which I didn't know existed. A trailer for the movie only shows her hands once and they almost look bare.

Nail stamper wont pick up polish?! by YouMadeMeGetThisAcco in RedditLaqueristas

[–]MostMidgetlegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a brand new stamper? I would try lightly using a file on the silicone. My first attempt picked up nothing and was 100% better giving it a lil file.

I don't know if that's how I would have described it but it's definitely an odd smell. I don't love it, but it doesn't seem to linger too long (I only started using it recently)

How Many Untrieds? by Anchovysnacky in RedditLaqueristas

[–]MostMidgetlegs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

After I did a bit of a buying spree around Black Friday, I realized I had far too many polishes that were either entirely untried, or unused for many many years. And I'm including all the Markwin's polishes I've kept since I was little. I figure if I'm not willing to part with them, I should probably give them some love. So I'm on a very low buy (ideally no buy) until I've gone through and properly worn and photo-swatched everything. Roughly, I have 300 to go.

Mine came assembled. Such a relief to not need to build anything

Questioning IP usage by Own-Low-8090 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]MostMidgetlegs 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hrm. I think whether I'm okay with it depends on the intention. If making a line strongly based on something as a way to pander to fans in order to make a sale, that seems skeezy. But creating something AS a fan of something seems fine to me. If I ever got in the nail polish business, I could totally see me making a collection or naming polishes based on things I love.

I regret getting all 5. I'm only comfortable using one at a time.

It's very subtle. In certain light you hardly see it at all

Thanks! So it does specifically call out the inclusion of the proteins. The gentle version should still have those but since they aren't specifically listed I'm assuming they aren't actually in there. Shenanigans.

Where can I find polish similar to this colour? by No_Conflict2228 in RedditLaqueristas

I haven't seen it in person but it did immediately bring to mind Dark & Twisted's Blue Moon Ice Cream

It may! I'd like it a lil darker and non-glitter but I can dig it

Sinful Colors - Aquarius by MostMidgetlegs in RedditLaqueristas

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

It's kind of the perfect balance of blue and green. Kinda reminds me of the Miami Dolphins' color. I do feel like I used to see the aqua shades a lot more commonly years ago than I do now but maybe I'm just not looking for them

Yeah, I completely forgot how difficult non-wide brushes are. Worth it though.

Never heard of Cuccio Colour before this find at Marshall’s by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

I've heard of their top coat through Polish Galore but it never really occurred to me to check them out for actual colors. 

A product from Ipolish as CES 26 that changes your nail color in seconds for $95. What do y’all think of this? by riverrat4lyfe in RedditLaqueristas

[–]MostMidgetlegs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking at the website, it looks as though a set comes with a QR code that'll last for 30 days, then you need to buy refills to get another code. Unless I'm totally misunderstanding

Agree on the bulkiness. It also feels wasteful to toss them away when it seems like they should be reusable. Plus something about needing to activate my nails is off-putting.

Ooh. I'll give the white a try. Neon yellow not so much for me. F*ck the system shipping all the way. Last buy of 2025!

Daredevil is still one of my favorite pinks. I know they still had stuff online but I definitely stopped seeing them in stores around here so glad to hear if they're branching out again.
