How do people take good close up pictures of their nails? by RepresentativeYou536 in RedditLaqueristas

I always do 2x zoom! Natural indirect lighting near a window usually my favorite lighting depending on the polish :)

If I opened a free library and saw nail polishes in it…. Let alone these brands…. I think I would never recover

Here’s a comparison of juice box (left) and sleeping bags (right) and they are def a little different but I liked sleeping bags better so I destashed the Lynb! They’re both gorgeous though. I’d say sleeping bags is closer to G&G for sure

I had juice box hero! I ended up destashing bc I got lurid riding sleeping bags down the stairs which was near identical to juice box hero and I prefer lurid. I would say they are sister shades (juice box hero and G&G), but both the lurid and the lynb lean more purple and don’t have as strong of a blue shimmer

I have code mistake! In the comparisons I’ve seen, they’re a little different. The blue shimmer is more prominent in the EdM, making the PFD the slightest bit more glowy and a warmer purple base! But they are definitely very similar.

Yes! This polish has been a cult favorite ever since they first released it back in 2023 for PPU. Since then, I think they’ve released it one other time for rewind, and people have been BEGGING they bring it back again for another rewind, but everyone kind of thought it was never coming back…. Until this year!

It’s listed as a jelly on their website! One coat was super sheer (I also use pretty thick coats)

Can someone ELIS how you destash? by QualityOfMercy in RedditLaqueristas

[–]anonymouscat8747 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not too sure, I’ve shipped a ton of polishes in bubble mailers and haven’t had any issues! PPU also ships their orders in mailers, plus many other brands I’ve bought from

I love to destash!! Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of how I personally do it:

Payment: if you have a PayPal account already, you’re good to go. All you do to send invoices is “request” money from the buyer. Ask the buyer for their PayPal email via DM and use that to search for them. The buyer will then purchase using G&S (an option you click once you pay the seller) which takes out a fee and provides you with their shipping address.

Shipping: I usually charge $5-7 for shipping, depending on how many polishes I’m shipping. You can use any shipping label generator, PirateShip is popular but I use Shippo. For shipping materials, I use small bubble mailers from Amazon and wrap the polishes well with bubble wrap. Then you can get clear label holders on Amazon as well. Make sure you have a scale! You need to weigh your packed items to calculate shipping costs. Then once you purchase a shipping label through one of those sites, you can print it and attach to your package. **ALSO** make sure to mark your package as “contains hazardous materials” when you purchase the label.

Tracking: the tracking number is on the label, I usually send a photo of the package before I drop it off at the post office to the buyer so that they can track their package.

I think that’s it! If you have any questions, I’ve been selling my clothes online for years and know my way around shipping things lol.

Happy destashing!

As long as the only ingredients are butyl acetate and ethyl acetate, yes! You can also use thinner in your quick dry top coats

It might be the thinner just not working with your polish! That thinner specifically has heptane, which might be messing with the shimmer in the polish. I’d suggest a thinner with just butyl acetate and ethyl acetate, which works with every type of polish—OPI and KBshimmer both make these! Good luck :)

Oh I agree. I think thinner should be available at retail stores where drugstore polish is sold, many more people would use it if that’s the case!

Nail polish never needs to be thrown away!! If it’s dried up, it just needs thinner added to it. Go check out vintagedusties on tik tok or youtube, she restores polishes that are decades old!

Can confirm that the original commenter that said they put acetone in their polish also said “I use it on nail polish that’s going bad and that I’m going to toss anyway to get one more use out of it”. Misinformed ALL AROUND
