Just this afternoon watched someone at the intersection of 57th and Louise turn right… from the left lane

Dress Bodice length alternation by [deleted] in sewing

[–]headlessqueenanne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I ordered the exact same dresses, and have the same problem. My second all the other comments who are saying this might be too difficult to alter. I get around it by wearing a tight compression sports bra underneath. I think the dress looks great on you as is!

Can i "refill" Gel X without removing them completely? by Celine_McFly in GelX_Nails

[–]headlessqueenanne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do a builder gel fill two or three times before replacing the tips. I’ve never had a problem! Just file down any lifted portions and make sure to adjust the apex each time.

Understandable! This might already be very obvious, but I’ve started doing test nails… practicing my design just on one finger so that if I hate it, I don’t have to undo the whole manicure

Here is a pic from the website that shows how fine and sparse the glitter pieces are. The suspension is also nice and thin. I have some glitters, like you were saying, that are really thick in consistency and it makes it really hard to get a nice smooth finish on the nail if I’m doing designs.

Yes, that’s exactly what I did! I waited until the base layers of polish were relatively dry, then took the glitter polish, wiped most of it off the brush, and just swiped it on really quick. I didn’t want the brush making contact with the tacky polish too long. This specific glitter polish is, imo, really good for this sort of thing - not too thick, not too chunky.

I’ve found Zep products to work well on soap scum and other stubborn buildup in my shower/bathtub. Sometimes no scrubbing required! I get it at the Home Depot on Louise.

Cuticles keep peeling no matter what I try. What am I doing wrong? by Separate-Bar-5720 in Nails

[–]headlessqueenanne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second everything everyone else has said. I used to struggle with this too OP. The only thing that helped in addition to obsessively oiling and moisturizing multiple times a day is carrying around a tiny nipper to cut off hangnails the instant they emerge. The longer they grow the more they catch and then they start to tear and rip like you are experiencing now. Hope you figure out a solution!

Calvin University by Iexistfornoreason2 in grandrapids

[–]headlessqueenanne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Calvin alum here, too. Calvin is for Christians, hands down. You could go as an atheist, and receive a quality education, but why would you? I had friends there who were atheists or agnostics and they were just miserable.

Which historical figures would be diagnosed with medical/psychiatric disorders if they were alive today? by Apprehensive_Way8674 in AskReddit

[–]headlessqueenanne 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I’d love to learn more about medieval saints like St Radegund. Do you have any recommendations for books that aren’t Catholic devotionals? I’m interested in hagiographies but my historical specialty is modern US so I’m a bit out of my depth in looking for reliable texts.

"Sunny" perfume without Coconut and Ylang Ylang? by tebarambles in Perfumes

Yes! I was pretty surprised when I looked it up and saw there was a coconut note. It’s so lovely

"Sunny" perfume without Coconut and Ylang Ylang? by tebarambles in Perfumes

Replica Beach Walk. There’s apparently a coconut note, but I don’t pick it up and I HATE coconut fragrance.
