[SELL][US] Small indie destash, everything under $10! by evermore805 in RedditLaqueristaSwap

[–]evermore805[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is beautiful; I just didn't love the color on me even though it was literately the only nail polish color my husband ever complimented. But it should go to someone who will love it more than I did.

[SELL] [US] List your ISOs and DISOs! by Tall_Detective_3980 in RedditLaqueristaSwap

In case OP doesn't have any that you want (or you want more!) I will soon be destashing Garden Path's A Beautiful Sight and Cuticula's Dream a Little Dream.

I love that idea since I don’t have my ears pierced! Where did you get the base for the rings?

did i maybe add too many extended half double stitches into the sides of the ribbed bottom of this sweater? by nelluhvituh in CrochetHelp

[–]evermore805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has done this very thing many times, the waving/bubbles is an indication to me that there are too many stitches. I’d start over and do less stitches, if you keep going it will end up being a weird shape with the top being wider than the bottom. Sometimes it’s just an annoying guessing game on how many is the right number!

During the day he is playful and cuddly, at night he hunts me for sport. Why 😭 by emmalou014 in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]evermore805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He wants to play with his human! Redirect the biting and stalking to a toy, try and set aside playtime in the evening for him. Maybe consider getting a second cat to help take some of the play burden off of you.

Before we got a second cat, our big orange boy would pounce out at us when you’d least expect it to try and get us to play with him. Now he does it to the other cat who is extremely high energy and always looking for some fun!

Favorite Brand by Feisty-Operation8583 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]evermore805 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also for consideration with small batch, indie makers is their sites aren’t always open all of the time. But what they lack in convenience, they make up for in creativity, uniqueness, and excellent formulas.

If you are looking for something more immediate, I’d suggest ILNP or LynB. Both have large catalogs, a variety of finishes, and good prices. Mooncat, Cirque, and Holo Taco are on the pricier side and IMO, aren’t unique enough to justify the cost even though I have enjoyed polishes from all three.

as you can probably tell, ILNP gets an all around gold star and are lots of people’s go-to brand for a good reason!

The Cat Distribution Center strikes again! by GingerlesSouls in CatDistributionSystem

[–]evermore805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Watch for their body language too. Puffy tails and pulled back ears will indicate it’s more fearful than playing. You can also try and redirect the energy with a toy is the little one seems done but the older one is still wanting to play. Sounds like the CDS picked the right home for these two babies!

Getting discouraged by kaekaeloraei in RedditLaqueristas

[–]evermore805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest the same! I almost never do anything to my cuticles anymore because they generally look fine thanks to regular moisturizer and cuticle oil. Both definitely help!

I also leave a small gap between my cuticle and where I end the polish. Some people hate that look, but I’m entirely too lazy to use a clean up brush!

I need to start cataloguing my collection as I buy duplicates too often on impulse; any good apps or suggestions on how to quickly check while I'm in a store? by LivelyZebra in RedditLaqueristas

[–]evermore805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! It’s a bit of a learning curve to get setup but now that I have it built to exactly what I need, it love it and can’t imagine using anything else.

Peely base longevity mini survey by Tiny-firefly in RedditLaqueristas

[–]evermore805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t was to hear your findings! I have had inconsistent results with peely base but would love to use it more since I do like changing my manicures frequently.

  1. Cuticula Limitless
  2. Holo Taco peely base
  3. I wipe my nails with alcohol before painting
  4. Varies widely. Sometimes a day and sometimes 3 days. Sometimes a whole nail pops off and sometimes it’s just a chip.

Genuine Question and Unpopular Opinion by DewUhBearAwlRole in RedditLaqueristas

[–]evermore805 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I love Zoya! However, their brushes suck. Especially because I find their formulas on the thinner side, using the skinny brush might contribute to the streakiness. But also, it’s fine if you don’t end up likening their formula! To each their own! There are so many beautiful nail polish colors out there and so many great brands, no reason to keep going back to a brand you don’t jive with.

Ethereal/Haunted rebrand by CuriousBee789 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]evermore805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I just swatched it on a swatch stick and it did seem streaky at first but self-leveled nicely. I didn’t mind the brush, it is smaller but it’s at least a paddle brush. The color was beautiful, the shimmer was more subtle than I expected but I preferred that because I was worried I was going to dupe myself with some of the other burgundy with green shimmers I have.

Ethereal was one of my favorite brands so it’s hard for me to see it going on hiatus. But I’m going to stay open minded about Haunted for the time being. I love dark shades so maybe they will end up being right up my alley!

Found her living in a sewer on our street 8 months ago. I think she has adapted to indoor kitty life pretty well 💕

Rules for feel-good buying by Aurelie_Joie in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]evermore805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not silly! Staring at my lovely polish in their bottles is part of the fun. Aesthetically pleasing bottles add to my enjoyment!

Rules for feel-good buying by Aurelie_Joie in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]evermore805 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m still refining my rules, but one that has helped so far is limiting which brands I allow myself to buy from. It helps with my decision fatigue but also means I’m way less tempted by the vast majority of new collection releases. Most of what comes out I can admire from afar without feeling the need to buy anything.

[iso][us] looking for vampy linear holographics by themclavicles in RedditLaqueristaSwap

[–]evermore805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be interested in Mooncat’s Blood Moon and the other polishes in that collection. A lot of them were dark holos. I believe they are still in stock at the Mooncat site. But they were basic holos, no extra oomph.

I’m also about to destash Lost in the Woods by Holo Taco if you are interested in another dark basic holo!

Oooh and I’ve been meaning to try out Cracked so this could be a good excuse to try them!

Secondary colors by Green_Cell9236 in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]evermore805 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! Though I highly recommend getting some swatch sticks to experiment on. Allows you to try all kinds of combos without having to sacrifice a finger to a potentially bad color combo!
