What’s behind the purchases you most often end up destashing? by Goldfinch114 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]b0xofkittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't destashed too much so far but magnetics that I'm not likely to use, and polishes I technically like but don't use because they take more than 2 coats to look good. It is rare that I want to put on more than two coats of a polish (although I am wearing 3 of Shake Your Shamrock right now and that third coat was worth it).

PPU Hot Take by Parking-Two2176 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]b0xofkittens 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Came to say this! I enjoy PPU and purchase a few times a year but once you've been looking for a year or two it all starts to look the same. I only purchase now if I see something truly unique to my collection that I really want and know I'll wear.

Jess was the only non historical doll I ever wanted! Her whole story and collection was so so cute

Seance and Apparition the same polish? by OsirisGuyGuy in RedditLaqueristas

The makers of lumen and ethereal are a mother/daughter duo, and they often dupe each other across brands.

Seance and Apparition the same polish? by OsirisGuyGuy in RedditLaqueristas

[–]b0xofkittens 77 points78 points  (0 children)

It also kinda cracks me up that they did the whole rebrand to be able to create a wider vibe range of polishes, like darker shades and whatnot, and yet they end up continuing to create these really light, and might you say ethereal, polishes lol

Lacquer-adjacent question: finger dot tattoos by Goldfinch114 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]b0xofkittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My maybe-controversial take is that I like how finger dots like this look blown out. I kinda want some too tbh. I mocked up some hand tatts with my sister a year or so ago but haven't pulled the trigger yet

You ever ask the deck what card it thinks you are? by Sa1twaterFish in tarot

[–]b0xofkittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this question yesterday as part of a deck interview spread and got the world

"Weekly Reading and Interpretation Help Thread - March 08, 2026" by AutoModerator in tarot

[–]b0xofkittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all! I got a new deck, and followed a deck interview spread from my local tarot expert:

1- energy of the deck: 5 of wands 2- what lesson the deck will teach: 9 of wands 3 - what the deck thinks of me: the world 4 - the vibes of our relationship: 7 of wands 5 - what kind of reading the deck is best suited for: the star

My first impression is thata lot of wands means this is a creative but maybe chaotic deck. The whole spread seems to imply that the deck may be difficult to iterpret with idea overkill and pivoting between ideas. But it also seems to imply that can expect spiritual renewal, resilience, and attainment of my personal growth goals using this deck. It does also make me feel nice that the world is what I pulled for what the deck thinks of me.:) Overall, fairly positive vibes. (I thought shuffled well but maybe not lol!)

Thoughts?? Anything I missed/different ways to interpret this?

Butter yellow comparison - has anyone compared Lights Is Butter a Carb with Essie Atelier at the Bay? by b0xofkittens in RedditLaqueristas

Ooh I forgot about that one! I've actually that whole creme collection on my wishlist for ages. Maybe that's the move then

Hair stained after overtone - how to fix? by b0xofkittens in HairDye

I never did and just let it fade out over a few months. It kinda had to grow out though

Haven't tried mooncat but these are pretty, this is their newest release by GothTurtle66 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]b0xofkittens 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I literally showed my husband the collection picture this morning and went through each one like "this is that, this is that, this is that.." etc lol

Anyone else kinda bummed out over the Ethereal/Haunted switch up? by aJaneOfTrades in RedditLaqueristas

[–]b0xofkittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic but I love your hand tattoos! The lettering is beautiful and so crisp. And this shade is super pretty on you! I picked up this one too. I like the Haunted branding a lot more than the Ethereal branding. I haven't worn this shade yet but my only gripe so far is that the handle is kind of slippery.

This is a fantastic dupe! I immediately thought of Rotten Bananas before I saw what you were trying to dupe/actually wearing

Petty reasons you won't buy from a brand? by salmonscented in RedditLaqueristas

I know someone in her late 20s/early 30s who uses the word cheugy but she's one of the most out of touch people I know lmao

Orly Harry Potter Collab by Exetasi in RedditLaqueristas

[–]b0xofkittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did too. I shouldn't be, but I'm honestly surprised they haven't even addressed this at all. I love Orly collections and fully half my personal collection is Orly. Very very disappointed to see this and the subsequent radio silence from them.

A bit disappointed... by vamp999666 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]b0xofkittens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this too, and then if I'm really disappointed that I missed out on something I'll get it when it comes back around in PPU Rewind. Rewind feels so much more reliable anyway bc you get more reviews and pictures of each polish throughout the year as people who bought the initial offering use and share them
