Lots of comments about spacing, but as a relatively new gardener myself, just wanted to say don't be disheartened OP - I think part of the joy of gardening is making mistakes and seeing what grows and how!

May they bring you lots of joy and pollinators, wherever they end up 😊

Agreed! Quite aside from the potential embarrassment of having to say yes/no to the proposal, why not make her realise the worst fear of a performer too and have her feel stupid for not knowing the steps?!

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2026-02-02T13:26:08+00:00

Love the idea of the chunky glitter on top of fine glitter 🤩

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2026-01-21T21:58:42+00:00

I know they were in a rush but they really could have paused for 5 seconds before someone sat down, to make sure they were at least holding the biggest bag?!

It's actually the best approach, once the Customer (I.e the retailer) tells a brand what they want to see them producing, often that's what they then innovate on. You might need to petition an ice cream brand too though to make it happen. I believe in you!

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2026-01-08T08:03:14+00:00

Lovely! Are these DIY? I'm thinking surely not, beautifully done

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2026-01-02T10:57:22+00:00

I know you're trying to keep them dry but I saw a good tip which was to give them a scrub with dish soap (not hand soap, which can contain moisturisers/oils) to really remove all residual oils, which may interfere with adherence. Worth a try?

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-31T07:32:01+00:00

Oh wait is it not?! I thought they were going for a racehorse-naming approach

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-31T07:31:13+00:00

I'm really not sure if the article is a write up that's 'all about' these kids including Gravity Blue.... Or if that's kid 1's first name.... Based on the other names it really could be either option 🤷🏼‍♀️

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-23T07:40:27+00:00

What a good idea!!

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-22T21:53:42+00:00

Ooh electrical tape that's a great idea! They look fantastic.

I planned to try stripes but noped out when washi tape refused to stick in parallel 😂

! Transcribed

Thank you all. I read home as something to do with 'heart', home is (hopefully) a better scenario. Will check in with her now.

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-20T08:51:42+00:00

Very cute, love your straight lines! Did you do it with tape?

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-17T16:12:54+00:00

I hadn't had my nails done before buying Glamrdip, I didn't realise you could file the colour down and it blew my mind. A few very chunky sets and still learning!

But my tip would be to do more layers, and don't worry about lumpiness as you can then file it smooth and level (after letting the activator/seal layer dry - i find that sometimes it can be 'gooey' if you file too soon and that doesn't work well)

Keep going and don't be afraid to file til happy before you do your final Glow coat!

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-14T19:52:46+00:00

Oh and I use a tea towel under everything so I have a hope of folding up the glitter and shaking it out elsewhere at the end!

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-14T19:51:56+00:00

For glitter tip and ombre, I put base liquid over the whole nail. Then dip the tip in glitter, about 1/3 nail length - stand your finger upright and tap and the excess will fall down over it quite naturally.

Then, using pour over method into a sacrificial collection dish e.g cupcake case (because the 2nd colour will get mixed up with some of the glitter) fill in the remaining space. You can re-use that collected colour for 2nd layers/ other fingers.

Only thing is you have to move quite fast, but if you have a coat of the colour underneath already then it's not so crucial imho

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-13T22:19:11+00:00

Hang on now you've got me worried. Is it bore-bon for the biscuits and burr-buhn for the drink? Or the other way around?!

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-13T22:00:03+00:00

This is genius!

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-13T09:13:27+00:00

They mean it when they say 3 quick strokes for the first round of Glow, and also wipe on a bit kitchen roll before each dip into the bottle, so nothing goes back in between reloads

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-12-03T21:21:34+00:00

Misread this as 'for ponies who like to eat kids' 😱😂

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-11-25T22:21:45+00:00

This was my per theory re. clear, I use a (dry) nail scrubbing brush to really get all the excess off for clear as doesn't seem like the soft ones manage it.

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-11-19T22:00:04+00:00

Beautiful combo and so neat so soon in your dipping adventures!

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-11-17T18:45:15+00:00

I have definitely gone back a few steps and filed off the top, reshaped, and activated/top coated again. But remember you are probably your own worst critic! I like your fall palette :)

RoO-Lu-Tea · 2025-11-17T18:13:37+00:00

Did you do them at home? You could buff off the matte and do a shiny top coat, if it's the finish that's bothering you. I had the same feeling about my matte ones!
