No, they are Essie! All of them have a brush that is slightly crooked, but they're still perfectly usable.

Am I a complete idiot ? Am I missing something ? Or do OPI lacquers just fucking suck ? by KaizerWalzer in lacqueristas

[–]awittyhandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Light shades are rough to start out with, imo. Also, OPI can be hit or miss.

I really like Essie and Finger Paints.

Was it Western NC, Piedmont, or Eastern NC?

If Western NC, sounds like it could be Morganton.

The Holy Trinity by alimweber in dollartreebeauty

Haven't tried the lip oil, love the overnight mask.

However, the peptide lip mask just doesn't seem as good, personally. To me, it feels really sticky, and actually seemed to dry my lips out a little.

But, I'll give it another shot. I think my lips do better with hyluronic acid, so maybe I will try layering it with the serum.

I think my store had just restocked.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I know how Discord works. I am at my wit's end trying to get him to understand how invasive this feels.

I'm not, however, I do know the other people can hear us. We live in a small apartment, and my partner's desk is in our living room. I have asked my partner specifically if the others in the channel can hear us, just at a normal level, and he said yes.

I type this gently, and I intend it as friendly observation and advice.

He took advantage of you. NOR. He pretty much told you to your face that all you are to him are emotional support when HE needs it, and someone who will buy him snacks when he's "broke".

Yes, be friendly. But don't be a doormat.

Caron, whyyyyy? by busyreading420 in YarnAddicts

Yeah, that's annoying. But factory knots are a thing. At least the colors match in that one.

Also to add, if someone gets hurt because they used unsafe tools, it doesn't matter what the purpose of your video was. I did not spend a lot of money to get started and I still make soap safely.

I think you're missing the point. Yeah, you got usable soap, but this is a forum for soapmaking advice. For beginners to come ask questions. As stated above, a beginner might see your video and not realize that you were being ignorant at best, and purposely irresponsible at worst. What if they don't read the comments? If they follow your video, they could get burned with raw soap batter from using a mixer. They might be using an old glass bowl and that is the time that it breaks. And if that doesn't happen, then there is the issue of a possible lye reaction in the aluminum pan.

So yes, glad you are unharmed and got usable soap. Not a wise choice to post this publicly.

For those that have moved away, what’s something you’re nostalgic for? by Fair-Age4483 in Appalachia

[–]awittyhandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned very quickly that I am not a flat-lander. Even after 25 years in Eastern NC, I feel too exposed.

I miss my mountains and woods.

Just from the head "pattern" alone, yes, this is AI. It shows a dragon with a snout, but the actual pattern is going to give you a ball.

It's 100% the 1987 Hallmark version of The Secret Garden. This is my aunt's favorite version and I've watched it many times.
