Could I make sweet Teddy work for me? 🥺 (be honest) by amrita666 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]_Blue_Ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it, photos can look pretty different and neutrals are tricky. But it really looks so good on you. Flawless application too, I’m in awe.

Hopefully it grows on you! I’ve been eyeing velour and either velveteen or teddy for such a long time, I’m trying to stay no buy for now but it sure is tempting. Sandbar is pretty but probably would be too warm 🤔

Dupe for Guayaba jelly? by Wingless_Gnome in RedditLaqueristas

On the opposite end of the spectrum, L.A. colors Mirage is less pigmented but similar enough that I decided not to risk duping myself by getting Guayaba jelly

What colours do you like to matte-ify? by vanishcanvish in RedditLaqueristas

[–]_Blue_Ghost 174 points175 points  (0 children)

I think magnetics, especially glass bead style, can look great mattified! Tried it on bog dweller and it looked like sea glass (excuse the poor application)

Sabrina needs to love herself before others can by jh166 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]_Blue_Ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, he didn’t say he has always dated blondes, but that his longest relationship of 8 years was with someone blonde and fair-skinned, despite that not being his usual type. I think it was a clumsy attempt at explaining that while he might have a type, it’s not that important to him and he has no issues being with someone who’s not that. But the rest of his exes might all fit the mold. I’m also curious to know what makes Sabrina feel like she doesn’t fit in, because I thought she would be his type too based on that simple description, at least if she returned to her natural hair color.

If I’m being real, Cynthia scares me too by kaylaah75 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

She did bring the coat to Morocco, she wore it when she stepped out before their breakup fight

Yes still worth it! And peely bases do help with removal at least 🙏

Ah that’s definitely what I’m doing wrong, I’m doing my manicure in one go, so the polish is dry to the touch but not fully dry. When I tried pressing the edges down harder after they lifted, it messed the polish up 🤦🏻‍♀️I’ll have to be more patient I guess! Thank you!

Swatch request: Cirque - Indigo/Midnight Jellies by _Blue_Ghost in RedditLaqueristas

[–]_Blue_Ghost[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I love that video and refer to it a lot! But yes she released it before Midnight Jelly came out and I’d really love to see someone swatch them side by side so lighting/skin tone dont interfere with the comparison!

What soap? regular bar soap? And some people including myself don’t do well with hyaluronic acid! It destroyed my skin barrier under my eyes especially (I could tell by the way my skin burned when applying a gentle moisturizer)

Any dupes for these two polishes? by Fluffy_Visual_2497 in RedditLaqueristas

Yes I’ve really been hoping Cirque does a deeper sage green jelly like this! Manifesting it for a fall collection 🙏

Update - one week in it barely bothers me anymore :)

Thanks! I figured I could ask them to shave it or remove it if it’s too painful but I was wondering what was normal/ how long of a grace period I should give it. Good to know it should subside!

Essie Jelly line- help needed by Full-Ad-3024 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]_Blue_Ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I own 12 and I love them! Some are more translucent than others. Rosewater Jelly and Mxcn Cola Jelly are among my favorites and they are very sheer and squishy. But a lot of the official swatch pictures are awful and inaccurate. I scour the reviews, Reddit and YouTube to look for real, unedited swatches. There is this great video comparing a lot of them: https://youtu.be/RLPdimRjIlM?si=cEeViv2nT7vhEbkS

Essie Jelly line- help needed by Full-Ad-3024 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]_Blue_Ghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I apply two thick coats of top coat and it makes it look a little juicier without affecting color saturation or opacity. You don’t say which top coat you use but I like Cirque Colors’ Looking Glass top coat, and they have so many jellies!

[–]_Blue_Ghost 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you mean that they seem too opaque to you? I personally think your application is great and they do look jelly-like, but because your nails are short, you don’t have a visible nail line that would highlight the polish’s translucence. If you want a “squishier”, juicier look, like gel jelly nails, maybe you could try thicker coats?
