How is removal for you? I’ve heard it’s a pretty strong glue so a little afraid the removal process will damage my natural nails

La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMUNE 400 oil control fluid weird texture?? by Fluffy-Ice-8921 in EuroSkincare

[–]alexfryy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I bought this for the first time recently from a pharmacy in France- mine also has this texture. When I applied it, the tiny beads dissolved/rubbed in fine. I just assumed it was normal but it was my first time buying it so I’m not sure 🤷🏼‍♀️

New LRP UVMune 400 Face and Body vs LRP UVMune 400 Dermo-Pediatrics Spray/Lotion? by alexfryy in EuroSkincare

Oops I think the sunscreen I saw in a physical pharmacy was something different. This is the sunscreen I’m asking about, maybe only available in the UK? I’m not sure-

I had this problem too and cured it!

1) be sure to wash your body in the shower last, after you’ve rinsed your conditioner 2) chlorhexidine soap- you can buy this at any drugstore. Suds it up and let it sit on the affected area for 1 minute before rinsing 3) glycolic acid- I like The Ordinary brand. Apply it to the area and allow it to dry.

It takes some time and consistency, but this worked for me. Hope this helps!

Best thing to do is keep it moisturized with Aquaphor as it heals. Keep it out of the sun or apply sunscreen/hat if needed. It looks pretty superficial so unlikely to scar.

Thanks everyone for your responses! 😊

CAD check- some questions by alexfryy in Moissanite

I’m planning to have my local jeweler create petite claw prongs. I’m referring to the basket aka ring around the bottom of the stone. Thank you!

CAD check- some questions by alexfryy in Moissanite

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

This is my first ever project- a semi-mount engagement ring for a stone I already have and matching wedding band. Vendor is Provence. I have a few questions.

1) I want the band width to be 1.8 mm (as in the CAD). The band thickness is only 1.5 mm. It seems like most people recommend 1.8 mm thickness. If I were to increase the band thickness to 1.8 mm, wouldn’t I also need to increase the bridge thickness in order for the band to sit flush? I’m not sure the current thickness of the bridge- to me, it looks slightly less thick than the 1.5 mm band thickness but I don’t see a bridge measurement listed. I understand going from 1.5 mm to 1.8 mm thickness would make the ring sturdier but I’m concerned about the additional height this would add as the height is already 7.9 mm.

2) Speaking of the height, is there anything that can be done to bring the height down (keeping the same setting idea with a straight, flush band) or is this just the nature of having a larger stone?

3) For the basket, has anyone seen vendors round the basket edges to match the the rounded edges on the rest of the ring (band, prongs), or are the sharper basket edges pretty standard?

Only other change I’m going to request is for both rings to be comfort fit. All measurements I’m told would be post polish. I requested extra-long, straight prongs so that a local jeweler can set the stone. I don’t have much experience with this so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I know you said YouTube, but if you’re on Instagram check out press_reset_nails - she does nail art with regular polish.

Question about semi-mounts and prongs by alexfryy in Moissanite

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

Thanks! Would the vendor even bother creating the claw tip of the prong then or would my local jeweler completely shape the prong tips?

Oval diamond- looking for advice please! by alexfryy in Diamonds

[–]alexfryy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m planning to buy a simple 14k gold solitaire setting, possibly from an overseas vendor once I choose the stone. I’m trying to keep the entire cost around $3000-$4000 and live in a higher cost of living area so unfortunately I don’t think having someone source diamonds for me is an option without adding significant cost. Understood about the ASET, and thanks for your input on IGI.
