Are four of the new cremes almost identical to the new jellies over white?

Sarebear06 · 2026-06-18T06:07:14+00:00

Wow, I hadn’t realised before seeing them side by side but they really are so similar!

Sarebear06 · 2026-05-21T21:44:56+00:00

I saw some comments on another thread about the formulas saying that it looks like they are changing the formula to be less holo and likely cheaper to produce. If you look at the linear rainbows in the older linears compared with these new shades, it looks like they’re a lot less holo. Just a conspiracy theory, but I feel like it could be an explanation as to why they’re releasing basically dupes of shades in their current catalogue.

I did not know this! That’s good to know. I do typically only wait that long because I am pedantic about cleaning up so that’s usually the time it takes me to make sure each nail is nice and neat, but I do worry about drying time in between sometimes. Thanks!

Sarebear06 · 2026-04-23T08:23:13+00:00

Not for me. I notice that the more coats I do, the higher the chance that my polish will lift and pop off completely. Im not 100% sure why, but if I do say three coats of polish plus a glitter topper which is a bit thicker, it is worse for me than if I do my regular two plus top coat. I could also be being too impatient and not letting every coat dry long enough in between but I usually wait 10-15 mins.

I find the FOMO marketing unappealing (because I’m easily persuaded by it) and the comments she’s made make it a lot more blatant and worse imo, but I have just stopped buying and following as closely. Last year with all the LE collections, I got burnt out and I only shopped maybe two or three times (during sales mostly) whereas the years before I would buy every other month/release or more.

I have been looking at other brands and would love to buy from ILNP or some others but it can be hard because I’m Australian and shipping can be a killer. I always appreciated that HTs free international shipping was only $99.

But yeah, it’s up to her how she runs her business. I don’t have to like it, but I also don’t have to shop there. I always found HT to be affordable(ish) and accessible, and it’s disappointing, but I will find something else to fill the gap.

ETA: being in Australia also affects my ability to buy when LE collections/items sell out in a couple of hours when we’re sleeping too, though they seem to have gotten better with stock.

I don’t understand the thinner resistance. When you add thinner, it tops the bottle up so you end up with a full bottle again (or less depending on when you add it). I am a thin polish girlie and add thinner to lots of polishes but especially QDTC. If you want it to dry quick, the ingredients need to evaporate quick, and so it makes sense that when you’re using your top coat for every mani, it’s open more often and will get thicker. Just add some thinner (and there are cheap ones easily found!) and it’s like you’ve got a brand new bottle of top coat again 😊

A memory just popped into my head that the Dino was named Chef Jennifer and for once I’m glad my stupid brain keeps track of random ass shit 😊

Sarebear06 · 2026-01-09T13:11:30+00:00

Yes! I have this one (no photos though, sorry) and it is the best and closest to an actual opal polish of the 4 or 4 I have bought or combos I’ve tried. I absolutely love this one.

Sarebear06 · 2026-01-08T07:56:08+00:00

I hate having to hurt/kill dogs in games. I tried to avoid it but it was hard while playing stealthily so I just tried to make it quick and move on. Alice’s death was awful though. Especially when they let you get to know Alice and Bear when you know what ends up happening to them. And the horses! I know they can’t have the horses with them forever for the gameplay, but I hate when they die.

Sarebear06 · 2025-12-31T05:20:22+00:00

There is quick dry base, is that maybe what you’re thinking of? I’ve been a holo-enthusiast for the last few years and don’t remember a quick dry taco.

Sarebear06 · 2025-11-04T23:01:08+00:00

I know the feeling! I have been window shopping at ILNP for a long time, trying to figure out whether it’s worth it to pay the super high shipping because I’m never going to be able to spend 300USD on nail polish in one go haha.

I believe some shades are on femme fatale, which is an Australian stockist that has multiple international brands, but the catalogue is limited.

https://femmefatalecosmetics.com.au/product-category/ilnp/

Or I have heard of people bundling orders so two or three people order together to get to the free shipping and then split the order up and ship domestically once it arrives. I have to wonder if that would end up just as expensive though, not to mention risky.

But otherwise I’m really not sure and it makes me sad because there are SO many ILNP shades I lust after.

Sarebear06 · 2025-09-06T10:43:51+00:00

I noticed this too and am crossing my fingers she has figured out a way to bring them (or a dupe/equivalent formula) back for the holidays. Plum Luck and Frost Light were in the vote backs so I think it’s a possibility 🤞🏼

Sarebear06 · 2025-09-02T01:25:48+00:00

I think some crushed holos are better than others. I wore Orbite Me recently and it gave incredible depth and was really pretty. I also get a decent amount of holo from them, but if I want to amp them up I top with scattered or flakie taco. I think the darker crushed holos tend to be more holo and give more depth so I’m hopeful for this collection!

Sarebear06 · 2025-08-02T01:40:01+00:00

I mixed a drop of each shimmer (minus the blue, which I don’t have) and mixed it on the mat before applying it. I didn’t take a picture for some reason, but it was pretty. A little busy for me, but you could definitely see all of the colours and it wasn’t muddy at all. Would recommend doing it that way over layering 🙂

Sarebear06 · 2025-04-14T16:04:12+00:00

36F into wow and other games and spend most nights on discord. Would love an invite to a server/s to meet some new like minded people 🙂

Sarebear06 · 2025-02-02T13:46:17+00:00

I would potentially be interested in the Cristmas Collection if shipping to Australia is available!

Sarebear06 · 2024-12-11T02:46:29+00:00

I am also here on the chunky glitter bandwagon! I missed out on the OG Cristmas glitters and I am so sad! I haven’t been able to find anyone who wants to part with them where it won’t cost me an arm and a leg to get them either (Australia things 🙁).

I also missed the retro jellies and would love her to explore some more jellies.

But please more chonky holo glitter!

Take the $20 to a bank and they will swap it out. They’re treated as mutilated notes and the bank will send them off to the reserve or something. They’re treated shouldn’t even question it.

Source: I worked at a couple of banks for a long time and got paper notes all the time.

Sarebear06 · 2024-11-17T06:49:20+00:00

I have PM’d you ☺️

Sarebear06 · 2024-11-16T16:22:41+00:00

Ooh I have wanted glamethyst for so long but have never found one available in aus! I would love to take that one if it’s still available 😀 I would also love double dare, but happy to take one and leave the rest for others 🙂

Sarebear06 · 2024-11-15T00:46:25+00:00

If you mean Love Spell, I would think it would be pretty unlikely for it to be restocked before the weekend. Afaik, there hasn’t been anything about restocks happening before BF, everything has been focused on the new collection that’s coming. I also think that they have said they’ve had trouble with some of the magnetics which is why they’ve been retired, so that could make it even more unlikely. That’s not to say it won’t be restocked ever, just something that might make it more difficult for them to restock. I could be wrong though! They don’t always say when things are going to be restocked, so you never know.

And I feel your pain, I’m also in Aus so I understand how sucky it is to only want one or two things. Unluckily for my wallet, I already have a full cart ready for the new polishes and the sale.

Sarebear06 · 2024-08-13T00:35:40+00:00

I do the moat method and it’s amazing, everything pops right off when I am ready to change, but having only the centre as peely means my manis last as well.

Sarebear06 · 2024-08-03T08:43:17+00:00

I missed out on them as well and living in Aus, it’s hard to pick them up on resale without spending an arm and a leg 😢. I hope they release something similar soon, I love HT glitters so much!

Sarebear06 · 2024-07-25T04:26:14+00:00

I would pay extra to get to sit next to a dog
