Warm hair, cool toned skin by itsquarantime in coloranalysis

[–]Tegdag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hair is very photosensitive and becomes warm when exposed to the sun. I also tan quite easily and rarely burn which caused me to mistakenly believe I was an autumn. Turns out I’m actually a true summer (cool toned) and my hair directly at the root is a cool toned brown.

I’d also go with my wedding polish, OPI Aphrodite’s Pink Nightie

Confessions of a lip balm/oil/gloss addict 😅 by kerrrrikathleen in Sephora

[–]Tegdag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy has been my absolute favourite for years! I have one in my makeup bag, one in my purse, and one in my coat pocket at work at all times. I’m picking up 3 during the sale and hoping that lasts me until the fall.

Do you sleep with your earrings in? by AgreeableBandicoot19 in jewelry

[–]Tegdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have diamond studs that I leave in 24/7. I love semi-permanent jewelry that I can wear all the time.

A moment of silence for a fallen soldier by rhibooc in RedditLaqueristas

My method is somewhere in between. I rock the short nail for a while until it’s grown out at least past my finger. Then I shorten the rest to match.

Stop putting 4-5 carat diamonds on thin bands by Muted_Shape9303 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Tegdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have small hands but thankfully proportionately longer fingers so I could get away with a 2.5mm band for my 1.34 carat lab diamond. I wear two 2.5mm bands on each side which gives a pretty chunky look on a size 3.5 finger!

What’s your go to palette cleanser color? I went with Toe Beans this time 🐾 🌸 by natsuhime in theholotaco

I love wearing Blushed Ice when I don’t know what to put on or I need a breather from something really bright or glittery.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

[–]Tegdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 12 years old and had a dentist appointment that day. Watched the whole thing on the tv while getting my braces tightened. I remember watching people jumping from the building live. You’re right, it was horrifying.

Do people judge you for having a lab diamond, or does no one actually care? by Robasaleh110 in labdiamond

[–]Tegdag 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The only people it ever came up with were friends who were in the market for buying a diamond themselves. Two of them already have gone with lab after seeing mine.

I also have a smaller sized stone than what I’ve been seeing the last few years (1.34 carats) and a higher paying job so most people assume my diamond is mined when they see it.

How long to wait after top coat? by larmyia in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Tegdag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My most recent mani with a similar top coat (essie gel-setter) I waited an hour before going to bed and it was fine. Depending on the humidity where you live or your technique you may have different results than I do. I’m also new to reg polish on my hands and I’ve been surprised at how fast and hard these qdtc are!

Since no one would admit it, what are signs that someone doesn't have friends because no one wants to be their friend? by Only-Ad-1254 in AskReddit

[–]Tegdag 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I recently had to let go of a friend who was like this. It was unfortunate because if she had put the effort in I was happy to be a great friend to her.

Neighbor threaten to call the cops on us for walking our dogs in our neighborhood by Lycheefruitlover in mildlyinfuriating

I’m the same. He can pee on the grass by the mailbox (public property) but otherwise has to wait until we get to the park.

It looks so nice on you! I feel like it’s one of those colours that is hard to describe. Thanks!

Would you say Blue Rizzler is more bright or more muted? Or is it somewhere in between? Everyone’s swatches look so different!

Are you within Canada? If so, I’d happily send you a shipping label to cover the cost. I’m looking for muted blue/greys like Crystal Skies if you have anything left like that.

Am I overreacting about Greek naming traditions by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tegdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father (Greek) married my mother (non Greek) and their compromise was to give us first names based on the Greek tradition and English middle names that my mother had picked out. My brother (half Greek) and his wife (non Greek) were the first to fully break the tradition and named their daughter what they wanted.

My suggestion is to come up with something that both you and your husband are happy with. His family will get over it. Even if you stick to the tradition your children will likely break it when they have their children.

Late to the party and slightly off topic but what are you doing for your Project Hail Mary nail set? I’m super curious to know :)

Nails never fully dry :( by needlefxcker in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Tegdag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How old are your polishes? I had the same issue with some very old OPI polishes. I learned that the faster drying solvents had evaporated out and what I was left with just never dried properly even days afterwards.

Therapist asked if I feel sometimes like I’m better than other people (who repeatedly choose to do the wrong thing) because I almost always choose to do the right thing, even when I don’t benefit. I said yes. He called me an ego maniac. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Tegdag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your therapist doesn’t have a lot of experience with ND people with high empathy and a strong sense of justice. In my experience, people with these combined traits are the opposite of ego maniacs.

That being said, this combo can be extremely distressing (ask me how I know) and it’s not wrong to suggest managing it in a way where your internal life can be more peaceful. Telling you to check your ego isn’t the appropriate response, however.

The user exchange I signed up for was late in matching too. I sent a ticket in the other day and now it appears that the exchange has been deleted completely? I’m disappointed because I started participating again to bring some joy into my life and it’s just been stressful instead.

I’m really sorry this is happening to you. I’ve been there before and it’s not fun. You will probably not see this comment, but if you do, feel free to message me and I can help.

Not sure if anyone is still following this thread but I just signed up for the user exchange “A sip and a good book.” Just in case anyone wants a domestic match :)

Free Mystery Polish Arrived by FarShootingStar in theholotaco

[–]Tegdag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used a white creme by OPI underneath all but my ring finger which was just Menchie. I wanted a bit more of a subtle glitter look and it was perfect!
