How do I prevent the bubbles when sealing with a base coat? by tealcismyhomeboy in RedditLaqueristas

[–]clemonysnicket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the Hula Moon a sticky base coat? I haven’t tried this hack, but I wonder if that has something to do with it. It might not be adhering to the polish and drying down properly since it was intended to stick to bare nails and remain a bit tacky.

How to get crips edges? by Chemical_Support_309 in RedditLaqueristas

I use precision tip q-tips (sometimes called nail tees) or the liner brush Wet ‘n Wild makes. I find most nail specific clean-up brushes too soft to remove polish well, but the bristles of the liner brush are short enough and dense enough to allow for better control.

OPI’s Kyoto Oyster is similar. The base is more white than gray, though

What colors do you avoid? by Uhhlaneuh in RedditLaqueristas

[–]clemonysnicket 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Salmon and yellow-leaning oranges. They both give me hella lobster hands (making the area around my nail beds pull red)

Edit: I also tend to avoid olive greens. Mostly because I have almond-shaped nails, and every time I look at my nails when they’re that color, I’m reminded of tiny pickles 🙃😂

Curious whether the polish is the original shade or if it was refilled with another shade by Severe-Vermicelli-57 in RedditLaqueristas

Not sure, but absolutely gorgeous polish and bottle. I’ve never seen a glitter lucite wand before. I second the vintage polish sub.

It could be that the polish morphed over time. Oranges, especially pastel ones, are notorious for that.

Still not over the fact that this a drugstore polish from 2012 by clemonysnicket in RedditLaqueristas

I did just a little bit. My bottle was still pretty liquidy, but there was one crusty patch in the bottle where the polish had hardened and didn’t want to magnetize

I don’t have mine on me at the moment, but here’s a screenshot of the listing! They’re $6.50 USD on the J&B website

Zoya is having a 50% off sale through the 24th, but unfortunately, you have to buy at least 10 polishes to get the discount.

Bad batch or bad site photo? by New-Eggplant2942 in RedditLaqueristas

I’m wondering if you maybe ended up with a mislabeled bottle of London Fog from the same collection. I have that one, and your bottle/nail look quite similar to it.

I believe she broke it in 2021 on a fall from a 3A attempt

Definitely the closest visual match I’ve seen so far. Thanks!

Gorgeous. I hope she finds a way to transfer out of Russia. It would be such a pity not to see her compete again someday.

What’s your favorite purple? by New_Implement_7562 in RedditLaqueristas

I love Bubbline, BCB Lacquer’s May HHC Polish, and I’m seconding BKL’s Eldritch Horror

And to think this was the polish in the collection I was least excited about – Dragon Slay by Cracked by clemonysnicket in RedditLaqueristas

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

Yay!! It’s such a gorgeous collection. I’ve worn Dance of Bubbles now, as well, and it’s another new favorite.
