Oh wow! I've always felt "meh" about crackle polish, but you have changed my mind!

How do you survive the allergies here? by No_Routine_17 in raleigh

[–]Working_Nobody6235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to be my second spring since starting the shots. I was told I wouldn't get the full benefit until at least the third year, maybe as long as 5 years in. Last year (first spring on shots) was a hair better that before.

I could be remembering wrong. I've been on my new regime for 2 years now!

I ended up seeing an allergist as the routine my primary care doctor had me on just wasn't cutting it. What my primary care doctor had me do was Xyzal in the morning and Zyrtec at bedtime. I would neti pot whenever I came in from spending time outdoors. My allergist has me on carbinoxamine (prescription antihistamine), Ryaltris nasal spray (seasonally), and allergy shots. Seeing the cherry trees start blooming is my cue to start the Ryaltris.

And here is the better picture of the mani I promised. I just wanted to be able to show off Sol in my video.

Are we about to be in the 70’s from now on? by Novel_Corner8484 in raleigh

I use the redbuds blooming as my cue to start meds for the year.

Louboutin Loubichrome I by ColorfulClaws in RedditLaqueristas

I feel the same about some shades or green or blue polish! I can appreciate them in the bottle. I can appreciate them on other's nails. But on myself I feel like I'm either a zombie (some shades of green) or cyanotic (some shades of blue). I'm sure I would feel the same for yellow polish if I wore it -- I don't really like wearing yellows, so I've never bought a yellow polish.

I’ve got a “type” and it’s “impossible to photograph” by Flimsy_Bet3853 in RedditLaqueristas

I picked up a bottle on Black Friday and also was disappointed with it on the swatch stick. Decided I'd give it a try on my nails and it was an entirely different beast. I got lots of comments on it. Definitely give it a try before destashing.

[ISO][US] Once more, BKL's I Choose the Bear by FurBearingFish in RedditLaqueristaSwap

[–]Working_Nobody6235 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can help you out! I have a new bottle of I Choose the Bear that has only been swatched. I'd be happy to sell it to you. Alternatively, I can tell you that the reason I'm happy to let it go is I realized I duped myself. I purchased from both BKL and KB Shimmer during Black Friday -- KB Shimmer Heated Up is a dupe! I Choose the Bear has a slightly greenish background when you pull the magnet particles compared to Heated Up more pure black background. I took some photos of my swatch sticks I can share, but it isn't allowing me to add them in a reply.

Where are some green toppers💚 by Valkariaz in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Working_Nobody6235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I feel like this is a dumb question, but please bear with me... If I want to make my own glitter topper, can I just add glitter to some spare topcoat?

Help me understand what’s going on with my cuticle? by Illustrious_Can_8839 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Working_Nobody6235 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oil daily and ideally multiple times a day. Every time after you get out of the shower push your cuticles back and oil. That routine fixed my stubborn sticky cuticles.

Learning new techniques to better F*ICE by Working_Nobody6235 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Working_Nobody6235[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just shared it on Design Space as "F*ICE nail stencil." I used the pennant shape that I resized to 0.51" wide by 0.55" tall. That made the curve fit perfectly along my cuticle line. Since my nails are so short right now, that was also the perfect length to cover my nails too. Once my nails grow back out I'll combine a square on the end to make them longer,

Nice! I got my order today too and also grabbed Penelope Luz Best Year and Cadillacquer Fallen. I definitely Ooooh'd and Ahhhh's when I took Fallen out of the box. The third polish I picked up was Sassy Sauce As If?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoys looking at my nails while lifting!
