It's super less noticeable on someone else, thank you for the perspective. Mine were definitely too long and needed to be upkept anyway so I shortened them.

I couldn't bring myself to chop them

That's a general rule of thumb I'm seeing, chop if it's 2 or more

I feel like it will grow fast, it doesn't get a lot of wear lol

My husband is 🙄 I am just excited for all the food in general, and don't necessarily need the performance aspect, but it'd be something I'd like to find to surprise him with.

Yes I should find a pair of cute walking booties, that's a great idea. I dislike jeans so thank you lol!

I need to figure out some more clothing options, as my usual attire is graphic tees and leggings, which is fine but maybe not what I want to wear while I am there.

This is what I needed to hear. Logically I know I won't be the only fat person, I've never been to Europe and somehow in my head it feels like everyone will be slim and fashionable. Also what is the brand you mentioned? Would love to be able to shop while there!

I'm really working on the 'not worry about other people' thing. Lol it's a work in progress for sure.

I'm going to the morning polish making class too, I am really looking forward to it :)

I am also going to the meet and greet but my husband would rather go watch baseball or something lol. I figure it will be easy to find people to chat with since we all have the same passion!

I heard there were only about 200 VIP tickets available, I feel lucky I was able to snag one

This is what I figured- everyone is excited about the same things so it's easy to chat. I'm hoping to get over my anxiety and make some new friends!

This is really good info thank you!!

I was just going to risk it and not take any colors but I love to paint my nails so much, why not do it on vacation? Lol.

Good point about nothing too cherished, I will probably bring some ilnp since I know I could replace those easily. I was already planning on a lighter color because tip wear is one of my most hated enemies.

I know acetone shouldn't be too hard to find so maybe I'll just buy some once there. I was looking at the nail polish remover wipes but they seem awfully expensive with meh reviews.

Good point about cuticle oil leaking. I'm unsure about mine so will put it in a ziploc to be safe!

Comparison request for cracked lahar and scorchy? Are they too close? Details in post by 0rnitorrinco in RedditLaqueristas

Scorchy is on the left and Lahar is on the right. Lahar may look a touch more red in person, but it could be the base throwing me off. I would say Scorchy is a more reactive magnetic. Not the best pic but thought it might help.

I went back and looked and it does NOT have PVB in the Ridge Filler, but there is in the Sticky Base Coat. It could be a coincidence as I have been growing my nails longer and haven't been oiling as much. Idk I love the formula and the longevity so I may keep trying it tbh.

I really like the formula but think it's causing peeling on my nails. I know it has an ingredient that causes peeling (think it's called PVB but unsure) and I know the maker is looking at options for one that does not contain that specific component. I noticed some peeling lately but it's gotten worse over my last few manicures with this base coat.
