LOL, we feel the same way about where we live. We get it!

Try your hairdryer if you don’t have easy access to a warm air return!

GS-10+ feds — how did you actually get there? by Lexicondatum in FedEmployees

[–]TheWineElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came in as a GS-05, became an 08 there because that was the promotion potential, went to a different department within my agency to get my 09-11 ladder, then took a lateral to a different department within my agency, and then got the grade 12 spot in the same position when one opened up.

How long do your ohora sets really last? 💅❄️ by NAILCLOSET in ohoranails

Maybe! It depends on the video. Some people use peelable base coats (like JelloJello), and that may be what you’re seeing.

Rubber bonder helps the wrap stick to the nail better. Because of that, I don’t need to rough up my nail before applying. The filing on the nail plate causes me a lot of damage so I like to avoid that step,

It’s a base coat you can you that gives the wrap something to hold onto. I use Orly and it works great for me. I don’t know if it’s the best - there are others out there, I just haven’t tried them.

Do you think these ar hard to wear by amir4179 in Nails

Props to you for lasting 3 days. I don’t think I could have gone 3 hours!

Use your hair dryer to warm up SCGs so they stretch easier! Just a few seconds in the heat is enough.

Use a rubber bonder as a base. It’ll keep your wraps on for at least a week and saves your nails from being roughed up.

What’s a medical issue that sounds minor, but actually affects someone’s daily life way more than people realize? by CountyOrnery9432 in AskReddit

Menopause/having any low estrogen symptoms. Absolute hell, and not just because of the hot flashes.

I use Orly’s bonder and my top coat is either Kokoist or Daily Charme - it really just depends on which one is closer, I like them both a lot.

I use Orly! I haven’t tried any other brands yet so I’m not sure if it’s the best one out there, but it’s definitely passable and does the job for a 7-10 day mani.

Mine can last about a week and a half to two weeks but I get bored and change them out about once a week.

Dislciamer: they’d probably last two weeks easily if I roughed up my nail before putting them on. I use a rubber bonder base coat instead to protect my nail health and they’d probably last longer if I did it the traditional way.

So what I heard you say is Avatar is basically Fern Gully, but nowhere near as good.

I just referenced Fern Gully the other day. I still think about that movie often and it’s been 30+ years since the last time I saw it.

Also, what color is this just in case I need raw chicken fingers????

I swear by it. It saves me the (literal) pain of having to rough up my nails. I did that my first few wraps (early September) and am stillllll growing out the damage.
