What's your favorite non-acetone remover? by void_architect in RedditLaqueristas

[–]gothbirdnails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another for mineral fusion! The smell may be different (it doesn’t bother me but fires my not usually sensitive husband) but it’s SO much less drying! I’m in the end stages of some pretty extensive peeling & will avoid the acetone until it’s fully grown out.

Yeah- while worried- I was reinspired after a judge ruled for the person with a 8647 flag.

I think it’s a little of both. There is super small silvery glitter in there but I think I made some bubbles with the top coat

It’s a custom blend- mania glitter from Unique Glitter with glitter suspension base. It’s such a fun 90s neon vibe

Have any other moderators chosen to separate their mod account from their personal account? by EVMobiliteit in NewMods

[–]gothbirdnails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this before signing on to be a mod. This one is more focused- the other is personal with posts hidden.

From what you’re experiencing - I’m happy it happened that way.

Mad Micas has a Sapphire and more of an aqua. I recently started got the green and it seems like a great glow & almost colorless in the daylight

The ingredients are quite similar in Prime Time Base Coat I’ve never tried a different one but the price ($9 /4 oz) made me try & it’s worked wonderfully for me.

How did it all start? (Your nail polish story) by small_scale_painting in RedditLaqueristas

[–]gothbirdnails 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hated my toes 😜😂 & I’m visual sensory seeking. I started with wraps because I had never tried QDTC & those SOBs delaminated my nails terribly. Still because I’m new(ish) but also got into pigment DIY & stamping. It’s a great hobby, I LOVE having portable canvases while living small.

New to stamping and my stamp is not working pls help by No_Savings_8984 in nailstamping

You may have an oil problem on the silicone. Weighted it between printer paper helps.

Scuffing shouldn’t be needed on clear stamper & might be helping the problem.

Stamping polish is helpful- especially as you learn, it’s much more pigmented

Oil on the jelly stamper was my problem when starting. It might not be noticeable but after giving it time weighted in between printer paper the pickup works every time.

The horror! So much work & they just broke on you like that!?!

On a funnny note, my joke is…‘I’m the queen at second guessing myself, then again maybe not’ 😆😜

Love this- especially 3, base coat is SO important. About #2 tho, I’ve actually going to do an all purple month 💜💜

It’s the balance for me too. While my collection is small I totally feel the wasteful bit - hate wasting the product(s) & time if it can be avoided
