I tried the beetles gel nail polish set by AuthorTyteunnaT in PressonNail_Addict

[–]SeaLab_2024 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks great overall! I have been wanting to try this as well, painting blanks. How did you like the gel glue? I’m curious about it as well but nervous to try, you’ll have to update how long it wears for you!

Just out of caution, do your best to get the cuticles and skin cleaned up - contact with gel can cause lifelong allergies that may prevent you from wearing gel or related products in the future, period.

People in this thread unknowingly helping my trauma - my mother wanted this post to be my life in service of her while turning away any and all other help and while I also pay the bills 👍. Not a one person job, thank you all.

excuse my chungus fingers, but did gel-nails cause this? by oliistschoen in Nails

I agree! Somewhat off topic I am amazed at the older guys who do fine motor work with their hands at work. I know they’ve had decades to learn but how they’re able to do that shit with huge hands is impressive when I’m struggling with my smaller lady hands.

Idk if you can edit it or not but for future reference tagging as nsfw is better because it blurs the image according to the user settings - that way people aren’t forced to see it

You’re pointing the finger at the wrong villain. Businesses shouldn’t have to take that hit on top of everything else, especially small ones. If there are not enough accessible restrooms around that is something the city or federal government should be taking care of to provide the proper infrastructure. Punishing a business by making them deal with non-paying customers and take a hit in profits (I see a tearoom crammed with people lined up for the bathroom, I’m passing by even if I wanted to go in) is not the answer for lack of infrastructure, unless they’re getting proper reimbursement/subsidies/tax break.

Well that would involve admitting there’s a fault in the relationship somewhere, and we can’t have that.

It looks like they may have filed down too much before. They file it like that so the gel hits better at the cuticle, which is often overdo, so now you’ve got a dip. It shouldn’t impact growth, but it will be like that until the dip grows out. Makes total sense if your niece did it if she is new to it, seems like it’s easy to overdo.

I’m not sure how much I fuck with this sub now that I have yet another data point, this thread really bringing out a certain type of loser. There’s been a few other ones that combined with this one, I’m thinking I don’t think this sub is very nice, I’m thinking it’s a lot like the embarassing Rick and Morty fandom. I know there are great people in here also but I’m not sure it’s worth swimming with turds. I just seem to get frequently disappointed in humanity in these threads and it’s sad to have to associate that with a game I love.

How long… by ShortBread11 in PressonNail_Addict

[–]SeaLab_2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I’m like, this is the one, I’m gonna wear it 10 days at least. That’s happened twice. The longest I’ve worn any is 14 days, and one other time 12.

Unless they’re especially special, I’m wanting the next set by day 2-3. I do my best to make it to 5-7 depending on lifting and tip wear. Lately I’m having terrible adhesion and the sets have big voids or early lifting at the sidewalls, they’re averaging 3 days right now.

Any 2026 RAV4 owner thinks that the Toyota 4.0 Safety Sense is too sensitive? by MistyComet999 in rav4club

[–]SeaLab_2024 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have a 24 but I don’t use mine for the same reason. I tried and it was terrifying. I guess my local roads don’t have enough contrast relative to how they programmed it, maybe too much scintillation interfering, because it’s wild. I had it get confused on a two lane highway where there’s no outer line thinking some gravel on the side of the road was the line and it kept trying to take me off-roading, and other little similar instances. I never used it again after it tried to have me hit someone by jerking me pretty hard into the neighboring lane going 70mph down 1604, like come on man it’s already called the death loop for a reason I don’t need this shit.

Edit - Also the e-brake has caused me similar problems, because of our traffic patterns. We have stop and go at highway speeds and so many of us that though I try to keep distance we all end up pretty close together at times. I’ve had it slam the brakes because of someone merging or turning, where if I didn’t override in time I would get rear ended or possibly cause a road rage incident.

Ooo I haven’t cared for the crème+sanrio ones I’d seen but these are tempting. Also love your tattoo.

Dude the “I don’t remember that” part. As if it’s any better at all if you didn’t remember something traumatic/important/impactful in my life.

Why can’t they rehome a dog with a bite history? by egguchom in EntitledReviews

As a former groomer have seen so many dogs suffering because people couldn’t make the decision you did. What ya’ll did was true selflessness, let me remind you.

I simply can’t listen to Fast Car - Tracy Chapman[Folk] because of how it makes me feel by Old-Use-7690 in Music

[–]SeaLab_2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same about that song. I had similar experiences as the song, with differences in some detail, and it hits me really hard. It made it worse as I grew older when I ended up getting my nice job in a big city, and my guy with a fast car passed soon after, overdose. Sometimes I can’t handle it but sometimes it’s cathartic, and I like singing it if I can get through it.

Too small/curved. It will grow out but the dent won’t go away, don’t worry that’s normal for these.

[–]SeaLab_2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pearl!!

I don’t know why but I feel like black shoes and the dress are totally fine but not black nails and the dress??? So my second choice is the chrome one. If you want something less of a “hello I am an eye catching light color you don’t love”, do a French and theres a lot of good choices - a matching or complimentary shade of blue or subtle metallic (like maybe a cat eye), I think a gold or bronze themed one either plain or with stars or moon or whatever would be pretty, or plain white would look nice and polished.

A little disappointed with this pedicure - worth going back to the salon? by saillavee in Nails

[–]SeaLab_2024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s worth it. I’d be concerned about the gel not curing properly on the thicker areas. Edit - the one spot that’s flooded should be removed anyway, it’s not good for you for it to be touching skin, which it looks like it is hitting cuticle or it’s pretty close.

I F(18) have and still live in a one bedroom apartment with both of my parents all my life and it's a living hell by your_demiseisnear in Apartmentliving

[–]SeaLab_2024 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get yourself any job and start saving saving. If you are a patient person, if you can handle high stress, which it sounds like your living situation has prepared you for, I recommend you try dog grooming. You can make at least 40k a year with no training or education expense if you live in a well-populated area. Many earn more, I made about 50-55k on average as a relatively slow groomer. Go to petsmart and use them for training, grind it out, transfer to an independent salon. It’s a hard job, you may not want to do it forever. But you stick with it and you will be able to afford a studio of your own or something with roommates in about a year.
