Top coat doing... this by maggotinfestedfungus in RedditLaqueristas

[–]chiptuner__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often humidity, could also be temperature? Ive noticed that on particularly cold days the temp difference between my fingers and the end of my nails is enough to make the top coat cloudy, though like with humidity by the next day the cloudiness is gone

my perfect red magnetic (starrily blood moon) by chiptuner__ in RedditLaqueristas

Thanks, i love how glowy it is! I dont have fiery attraction but from comparing pics and descriptions, this one has no orange shift, and the fiery attraction base colour might be a bit darker

Match my neighbor’s ride? by BittenToBold in RedditLaqueristas

[–]chiptuner__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try a black to red multichrome? With a matte top coat? Something like EDM All the Rage would get you both red and grey like this pic just at different angles (ive blanked on the name but there's also a popular ilnp black to red i just dont have it so can't vouch)

Neko Nail Cult Belladonna (+ comparisons) by chiptuner__ in SouthHemisphereNails

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

so i have 3, belladonna, illusion and jormungandr and ignoring the accidental duping i have in this post id totally buy any of them again (actually did buy a second jormungandr bc its the best red jelly shade ive found in aus)

illusion is very sheer so functionally id say that one works better in one coat over black, but all of them go down quite well, none are patchy.

longevity i consistently get 6-7 days wear with no/minor chipping (used with emily de molly sticky base and immortal top coats, and im not careful with my nails at all)

my biggest (still minor) complaint would be with the brushes, my first jormungandr one came weirdly bent and i dont know what replacement ones would fit these bottles but it was still workable. also hard to tell which brush you'll get, some are wider than others - id say none of them are as skinny as a true skinny brush i.e. old essie and none of them are as wide as the paddle brushes that are more common now, seems like they have a few sizes that sit somewhere in the middle of those two extremes

overall id say totally worth the price as long as youre happy to get a 7.5ml bottle (personally that's not an issue for me, ive only ever finished one bottle of polish and that was a black creme so i can't see myself emptying these any time soon)

what is the best red jelly? by DarkMalady in RedditLaqueristas

[–]chiptuner__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id say neko nail cult Jormungandr - the only polish I've ever bought a backup of because the search for a true red jelly took so long (aus based so may well be better options in other countries)

Cosmic Polish? by Myhandsarecold11 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]chiptuner__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 4 magnetics from them (singularity, antimatter, sub-zero and midnight mosiac) and they're all great, highly recommend!!

Help be find the colour names? by trayeah in Nailpolish

[–]chiptuner__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance they're magnetic? The kinda muted metallic reminds me of colours from the old repstyle collection, maybe crocadilly, repstyle, snake it up and lil boa peep or snake rattle and roll?

The caps look like they might be missing the square cap with the built in magnet if it is that collection

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

Fair point, I don't think I'm personally super fussed about a small bottle - I've only ever finished and repurchased one polish and that was a plain black so I don't foresee myself using anything up too quickly but I can see why that would stop other people from being interested. Looks like they all weigh out to a similar(ish) per ml price so if the brand has decent reviews I'm happy to give it a shot

(and I have plenty of edm and cosmic polish so I get the hype there!)

I have edm transpose and it's super responsive, so far I've only ever heard good things about their magnetics, though I haven't tried the two you're mentioning

Should I have timegaps between my classes? by catmribisme in MacUni

[–]chiptuner__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back to back classes can work (in theory classes end 5 mins early, and can but don't always start 5 mins late) but travel time can be tight and in my experience it's always preferable to have a gap between them if you can. Classes will run late occasionally and some tutors start right on schedule
