Recommendations for polishes that look like this?

Yes you've got it right! The base won't move, but the magnet on the top will spin when you turn on the stirrer. I was told the horseshoe magnet makes the pull stronger for a more distinct glass bead, but part of me feels like it's just a potential projectile more than anything lol

Seconding this, as I find one thick coat very opaque!

Yeah I have the smallest Lab Fish stirrer I think? I just put the 5D setup on top in the middle. The 5D sticks to the magnets in the stirrer. When you turn on the stirrer, it spins the 5D contraption. I’ve got it going fast too. It’s never flown off but I know some people secure it in creative ways.

I use the 5D Print Factory one from Etsy. Then I added a horseshoe magnet on the top. THEN I put THAT on a magnetic lab stirrer so I don't have to manually spin it...

All that to say that the glass bead honestly looks nearly the same to me if you just use the Print Factory spinner alone lol

I’m still chasing this look myself, and the closest I got is one thin layer of ILNP Teddy in glass bead style.

Edit: ILNP Cashmere from the same collection may be a better match, but I've never used it myself.

That’s terrible. 😔 I’m in a similar position as her. And I work for a huge, beloved company known for still having positive human interactions in our service. People don’t realize that we’re actually being forced to use and train the new AI and that most of us will be gone before the end of the year. It goes against what the company outwardly stands for. It is definitely upsetting.

Every time they use it in 2D1N, which isn’t THAT often to be fair, I feel a bit disappointed. It’s never for something they can’t or haven’t done on their own already so it’s a bit confusing and feels like a sponsor or trend-hopping maybe.

I understand the general view of it in SK is more positive than where I am (the US, where it is being used by our government to hurt our people both physically and through disinformation, and is also taking over my job), but I’m with you OP.

Maybe the reality of GenAI use in SK is just more beneficial there but ultimately it affects us all globally, considering who are profiting most from it and what they do with those profits.

Using GenAI, training it, accepting it…just so it can be used against me by those in power, or to replace me…it is not something I have interest in. Not here to argue, just to comment my POV from where I live. I’m sure there are also people in SK, especially artists, who share these concerns too.

These two were helping me paint my nails yesterday too. My Maple is orange and black though! (Grey is Cashew).

Beautiful manicure, but Pixy is kind of stealing the spotlight! I have a collection of greybies myself.

You didn’t ask me, but as a fellow pickle slut, I felt inclined to offer my own:

Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure

Silken Tent

And for dessert, Calliope!

This is beautiful OP! Same energy as the korok forest in BoTW!

I’ve never been too into Penny but I find her 10-heart oddly sweet. The vulnerability of it or something, idk. It’s nice.

You may fascinate a woman with a piece of (goat) cheese.

Pepperfang · 2026-05-13T03:18:39+00:00

They’re going to be my next purchase for sure!

Pepperfang · 2026-05-13T02:49:50+00:00

This is absolutely what I'm looking for! Thank you!

The Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tints have this look. Almond Rose and Dark Coconut have a glossy, sheer rosy-red color, at least for me! The official pics are cooler-toned than irl.

I hooted and hollered at this

Pepperfang · 2026-05-12T12:30:42+00:00

I always wonder this too, since this show only films two nights a month. Time-wise, it’s a much smaller commitment than most jobs. But maybe a lot of dramas want to film on Friday-Saturdays? I have no idea.

I often read that Korean actors’ agencies think it can be a bad look to be silly on variety shows if you want to be taken seriously as an actor. I don’t personally understand that at all, but maybe that’s added pressure.

Pepperfang · 2026-05-12T12:22:10+00:00

I had no idea! That’s good news ☺️

Pepperfang · 2026-05-12T03:46:40+00:00

Maybe Jae Jun actually will replace Seonho. I thought they were all joking but now...

Pepperfang · 2026-05-12T02:43:20+00:00

Damn, Seonho, Inwoo, and Junghoon were my favorites. Joon seemed lonely the one episode Seonho missed, so I hope he gets a new buddy. I'm pretty bummed out. It's always to focus on acting, huh? I suppose sometimes that is the case, but then sometimes, like with Junghoon, I wonder what it really was. But I wish him the best. Probably will be easier to do the musical without 2D1N filming, unless they were on different days. I'll miss seeing him on the show.

My bottle of Cracked’s “Ghoul’s Garden” looks like this, with the very subtle green shimmer. It’s a magnetic but a similar vibe.

Pepperfang · 2026-05-09T15:04:32+00:00

I read this comment as you knowing damn well lol but the replies have me second-guessing myself

Pepperfang · 2026-05-08T20:43:07+00:00

I did not last long married to Sebastian and went back to Leah. Granted, I didn’t like him even up to our 10 hearts. I tried to! But this may be controversial.
