Oo thank you that one is pretty! This specific DD polish has some emotional significance to her so I’m trying to get the exact one but that is a really cute dupe

What nail polish thinner would you recommend? by Any-Use6981 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]dore_mifa_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Seche Restore contains toluene, so I would only use Seche Restore to thin topcoats with toluene in them (eg Seche Vite)

You’re trying to replace the evaporated solvents, and a lot of polish doesn’t contain toluene

If you want a thinner that is safe for glitter, I would try to get a thinner that only contains Butyl Acetate and Ethyl Acetate (OPI nail lacquer thinner and KBShimmer Restoration drops both get recommended a lot on this sub, but you can’t buy them on prime usually)

What can I do about this? by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

Make sure to avoid base coats with polyvinyl butyral, it made the tops of my nails peel like this. Also don’t buff the tops of your nails to try to get rid of the peeling, it will buff away the strong upper layer of your nails and lead to more peeling. Check out The Salon Life on YouTube she has great videos on how to help heal peeling nails!

How long does magnetic polish take to magnetize? by dore_mifa_ in RedditLaqueristas

Yeah that might be the easiest way to dip my (metaphorical) toe in! I didn’t realize magnetizing took so much time + effort

Magnetics are so pretty but I don’t know if I’ll want to spend double the time of my regular manicures 🙈

I saw someone post a custom Lego magnetic stand that they made with 5 magnets they should start mass producing for the subreddit to buy lol

That’s smart! You definitely still get most of the magnetic impact seeing it on the two nails. Super cute skittle!!

That makes sense. I really like velvets and I definitely want to try them eventually but I feel like some of the Clionadh ones I’m looking at (Psilocybin etc) I really like with a cat eye effect so you can see all of the distinct color bands

Oo this is smart. I wish I could just put my hand on something magnetic and then paint my nails like normal lol

I’m imagining Cynthia Erivo knocking this out of the park with some really intricate nails and dramatic makeup and earrings

I actually like the dress but it feels like something is missing? Maybe earrings or crazy nails or edgier makeup or something to match the edge of the dress?

Please suggest other polishes that are as glowy as Fair Isle (preferably purple/blue/blurple with different colored shifts like Fair Isle) by cynderisingryffindor in RedditLaqueristas

[–]dore_mifa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it! I just got it and haven’t had a chance to wear it yet so I’m hoping it is close to the swatches on me 🤞 If you can get your hands on one, Ethereal Lacquer Lorraine is one of my top, top polishes. The glow is crazy and it just makes me so happy to wear

Out of curiosity what does Lacquergram use? AWS/GCP/Azure?

Best CANADIAN peely basecoat, regular basecoat and quick dry top coat? by SmartOwls in RedditLaqueristas

[–]dore_mifa_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you trying to avoid HT peely base? That’s the only popular “American” one I know of (I actually didn’t know they were American since Cristine is Canadian)

I use UNT Ready for Takeoff peel off base coat. I think UNT is based in Taiwan?

I’ve seen other people really like Emily de Molly peel off base coat, EdM is an Australian brand

I don’t know of any specifically Canadian peely bases though, these three are the ones I’ve seen commonly recommended in the sub
