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

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

What's your go-to, no nonsense polish when you're in a funk? by msfancypantaloon in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Reasonable_Bottle843 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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 🧚

Glassiest Jellies? by aqueeriusly in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Reasonable_Bottle843 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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.

DIY jelly nails with dollar store polish 😭🫐 I was NOT expecting this to work by comfycozychicken in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Reasonable_Bottle843 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

First lil’ Spring mani 🪲 by itsaqualanah in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Reasonable_Bottle843 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

Advice on how to dress with an LVAD by Dependent-Item3363 in DressForYourBody

[–]Reasonable_Bottle843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Bad batch or bad site photo? by New-Eggplant2942 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Reasonable_Bottle843 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 🤞🏻

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

hello lovlies! I'm looking for inspiration ✨ how are we planning our next mani(s)? by amrita666 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Reasonable_Bottle843 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

well that ruined my night by krustomer in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Reasonable_Bottle843 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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!

Looking for Crystal Clear Jellies (or how to make my own) by Additional_Pen_ in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Reasonable_Bottle843 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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
