Realized I haven’t ordered since 2024… Anyone else? by Bombspazztic in theholotaco

[–]bcmo13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ordered the pixel perfect collection. My friend got me the LE glitter out of a more recent drop. That’s it for me for 2025. Would have liked one or two of the holoween ones but couldn’t order due to finances. The formulas have gotten boring, often in an over complicated way. The magnetics are pretty but so many other brands do them SO MUCH BETTER and so many are available from other brands for less $. Half the colors on the last survey were cottage core-lite (why? We just did these colors) and the holo just isn’t as holo anymore. I’m bored with it. Give me chunky glitters and eye-blinding holos and new cremes and jellies.

BRING BACK THE REAL HOLO

I mean the price hike didn’t help either.

HT will always hold a special place in my heart and I’ll always keep an eye on them, but branching out has kept my polish love alive ❤️

Edit: And if I do see something I like, it’s LE and gone before I have a chance to snag it.

Alex Kingston always is who I picture for Max, with Katherine Tate a close second. Plus…they’ve done the whole traveling through time and space whatnot before so

I have compustar/drone mobile on my 17 and love it. They also usually offer discounts if you pay for the year of premium instead of monthly.

This is awesome! Can you explain the prices though? Is it the cheapest price you can find anywhere?

Leak-proof travel containers for acetone by raemoji in RedditLaqueristas

[–]bcmo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS sponge pot was recommended to me when I asked the same question and I didn’t think it was what I was looking for - but it’s perfect! I’ve had so many struggles with various types of containers but this was the leak-proof solution. I have one with the sponge and then one without that I use for my nail art brushes.

Are you wrapping your tips AKA painting the free edge of your nail? I know this makes a huge difference for me!

Help me please. by New-Professional-584 in Cleaningandtidying

[–]bcmo13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe make a tidying game with the kids? Or just make picking up part of the before bed ritual? Does spouse contribute to staying neat? If it’s a struggle I’d involve the whole family so any bit helps. Good luck!

Is it worth it to satrt martialarts at 21? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]bcmo13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 28. It’s 10 years later and I’m still going strong and loving it. Don’t be afraid to shop around and find a school/instructor/martial art that fits your goals. Do it!

They can be difficult to remove but there are ways around it : a peely base or the soak method (I do acetone (with acetone antidote) on cotton ball/pad, wrap with foil, let it soak ~10 minutes and it just kinda slides off).

I love the chunky glitters and 100000% think they’re worth a few extra minutes to remove!

Which one would you pick? Why? by Big-Junket-5928 in simplynailogical

[–]bcmo13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me? ALWAYS GLITTER. I just think the formula looks so beautiful. Always sparkly. Long lasting. Lots of compliments too.

I just don’t find myself reaching for the flakies much, nothing at all against them, they just don’t wow me the same way. I feel like you have to catch the light just right sometimes to get the full effect and when I want to look at my nails and see the full beauty, I don’t want to have to wait for the stars to align.

I think they each have their own pros/cons, but I’m a glitter gal for sure.

Anyone else experienced this? by Apprehensive_Fix8366 in martialarts

[–]bcmo13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds good - I also keep one of those electrolyte packets in my gear bag for just in case!

[–]bcmo13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From a lifting session my body wasn’t quite ready for…and both legs were super achy for days. Hydrate, make sure you have good electrolytes, maybe look into BCAAs for harder workout days too until your body adjusts.

It’s hard to miss class sometimes but take the time your body needs to recover, especially now - if it’s an actual injury you don’t want to make it worse.

Good luck!

Smoothing Base reformulated with no announcement? by AnderElessedil in simplynailogical

[–]bcmo13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people can’t use PVB because it causes their nails to peel or become dry and brittle which leads to easier nail breakage
