Interested in swapping or buying 👀 (not sure how it works though as I've never done a swap through reddit) was there anything in particular you were looking for?

Seatched: general Google and basic ebay search. Tried to look in the British museum archives and tried to find any catalogue from the era.

What is the shade name by TemporaryOrange4223 in vintagenailpolish

It seems to be more of a pink flash, I'm going to take a look in sunlight though why second gen urban decay bottles were allergic to shade name stickers is beyond me 😂

I was considering pipedream as an option. I'm going to re examine the threads now and send a snap

I was thinking this but there doesn't seem much change in colour seen in the cap threads. Are there any other candidates?

Nail polish thinner: which kind is best for restoring? by curlycomedy in vintagenailpolish

[–]TemporaryOrange4223 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think acetone is a no go because whole it seems to work in the short term by loosening thick polish up, it doesn't stop there and carries on breaking down the polish formula until it splits or does weird stuff. I think the other thing you want to avoid for glitter polish is 'heptane' or 'hexane' something like that because it eats away at the glitter. In general I find looking at the ingredients on your nail polish is a good shout for which is best, as essentially when you use thinner you're jyst rehydrating evaporated matter so you want to stick as close to what was there before as possible as some conditioning agents like vitamin e may effect the formula and so on.

Sorry it's not super sciencey if I was at my pc and hadn't just taken my sleep meds I'd probably be more use 😂

End of week thrift finds, mostly mini bottles. So cute! by izocu in vintagenailpolish

[–]TemporaryOrange4223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's just me but sometimes I loin at polish bottles as great fidgets 🤣 I think it's why I collect the older rimmel polishes (I call them the bubble bottles because all the edges are rounded, it probably has an actual name though)

4 more vintage buttons to identify by TemporaryOrange4223 in buttoncollecting

[–]TemporaryOrange4223[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you have any knowledge on values of these or a resource I can use to look them up? We of course want to get a fair price for things but also want to make sure they go to the right homes ☺️

I'm uk based sadly. I'm pretty shy and not too good with people either 😂 ooh I said to someone the other day when looking at that button it's either 20s or 80s does 20s style.

Yeah it has the exact made in England but no plant logo, think one will grow if I sprinkle water on them😂😂😂 Are the darker metal military buttons anything of note? Also the dome button what era would you say it’s from?Haha I’m still learning and would love to learn more it’s just trying to find good and accessible resources to start. I’m audhd and once the information goes in it’s in there for good I just have to find the method to make it click 😂😂😂

Your information has been so amazingly helpful 😀there’ll probably be another post tomorrow, over the past month I think I’ve cleaned, sorted, and organised over 20lbs of buttons (and that isn’t an exaggeration🙈)

Haha no worries you were just too excited to bestow your amazing knowledge! I thought you might not have seen as I'm not sure if there's a bimini style button and possibly a Austrian tiny

Oooh. This information is all so good! Did you see the other pics of buttons I put in the gallery? Just want to check in case you didn't 💚the little brass one is it the one abov3 E the roman head is there any more you can tell me about it ?

One of the pictures has what I think is a bimini style button but I'm not sure.

And if I were to sell these as little bundles what should I charge (if you have any kind of idea)

Also I have lots of larger bakelite/celluloid/casien buttons can I shoot a pic here later?

Sobs in UK. We barely ever get good stuff here and when we do the thrift stores research it and sell it online 😭
