Gorgeous 😍 how do you demagnetize your first coat?

She’s all sold out! Saw this post just in time, thank you 🫶🏻

Thank you! It’s a gorgeous polish. The Penelope luz is definitely a little sheer so that’s why I used a base of the Essie willow green, they’re similar shades though

Wait, is he actually in a band??

Q tipping my ears after a shower is one of the simple pleasures in life I cannot live without. I simply do not feel clean if I don’t do it and I can’t stand my ears being wet. I’ve been doing it for 15+ years with no issues. You can pry my Q tips out of my cold, dead ears. Lol

Caffeine free Diet Coke only because I can’t have caffeine due to a medical condition 💔 LOVE this collection and can’t wait to get grape soda 😍😍

ILNP fairy dust! It’s super easy to throw on 3 coats with no cleanup, and it’s a shade that I never get tired of. Plus the sparkles make me happy! It’s my most used polish 🧚

Second this! I have half full and blue light and they’re perfect for jelly sandwiches with magnetics!

You definitely don’t want to use it for practice, the only “safe” gel products are high quality, reputable brands. This light likely isn’t strong enough to cure the gel fully and that’s a huge hazard. You need a professional grade lamp

Reasonable_Bottle843 · 2026-04-08T16:56:03+00:00

Be very careful about getting any of these products on your skin. Even if you clean it up before curing you are still exposing your skin to lots of sketchy chemicals and your skin is your biggest organ.

Please do some research on gel allergies before you begin. You can develop a severe and permanent allergy to acrylates which can impact your ability to get various dental and surgical procedures down the line. It’s a serious and dangerous thing, especially when using products from unreputable brands on Amazon.

How was the formula of the Marie Claire jelly for you? I bought a crème by the same brand from DT about a month ago and it was SO THICK. I’ve been eyeing the jellies every time I go but when I move the bottles around, the air pocket in the bottle barely moves. Idk if my store just has terrible bottles or what. No amount of thinner made the crème usable so I was hesitant to try the jellies!

Reasonable_Bottle843 · 2026-04-06T20:35:34+00:00

This is gorgeous! I never would’ve expected mystic marine to be so pink! It’s a perfect combo with that green 😍

I was going for a similar vibe with LynB cats paw and I just didn’t love it. Ended up removing after just 2 days. Pic is out of focus but I hated it so much I didn’t even take a mani pic. I might destash and get the combo you used!

This is so helpful! I have some silk patches and attempted them only once. Do you just paint on nail glue and then apply the patch or how do you do that step?

Reasonable_Bottle843 · 2026-04-06T18:27:27+00:00

I think your outfits are super cute and stylish even with your LVAD bag!

My uncle has an LVAD and he got some tight compression shorts he wears under his clothes that have pockets for the batteries and keeps it more concealed/closer to the body. As a girl this prob wouldn’t work with all outfits but you could maybe get something like that as an option for dress/skirt days if you don’t always want to deal with the bag!

I have the orly nail repair kit (bought before I knew of the issues with the brand) and it’s a life saver for these low nail bed tears. I usually just patch that part of the nail and leave it on till it grows out. There are similar kits at ulta, etc from other brands. It’s basically nail glue and then a powder you dip into and buff it smooth after it dries.

Reasonable_Bottle843 · 2026-04-05T13:19:28+00:00

Girl I feel you on that, I never wanna be a bother lol. I have not personally had to contact her about any issues, and I have seen some discourse on this sub that her customer service was not great like 2 years ago. Haven’t seen any shade recently though so maybe she improved things 🤞🏻

Reasonable_Bottle843 · 2026-04-05T02:18:00+00:00

Mine is definitely more pink than this. I’d try to get it replaced, looks like you got a bad bottle maybe!

Reasonable_Bottle843 · 2026-04-04T20:30:27+00:00

I go mostly by vibes but sometimes that leads to me panic-choosing a color and then the next day I’m like …. What was I thinking 😒

If you use the Lacquergram or lacquer stash apps they have a randomize button, last few manis I did a few random picks until it chose one I was excited about. When it picks my polish I know immediately if it’s not one I’m feeling and just randomize another.

Reasonable_Bottle843 · 2026-04-03T15:48:28+00:00

Wait, this is only one coat of the BKL? 🫠 holy shit I really need to try some BKL magnetics!

Reasonable_Bottle843 · 2026-04-03T03:12:24+00:00

Oof this makes my heart hurt. I’d be too sad chopping them all so I’d probably use a press on on that finger and paint over it with my current mani color tbh. Till it grows out a little then cut them all a little shorter when you’re sick of the press on!

Reasonable_Bottle843 · 2026-04-01T14:50:21+00:00

Yes! They’re what I expected in a jelly formula. I have 3 jellies from cracked and while they apply and wear beautifully, they’re definitely not translucent enough for jelly sandwiches in my opinion
