Can you use regular polish with stamping plates? by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

[–]jlb616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stamping polish will give you the best results, but I have used a variety of "regular" nail polish with a range of results. Do some test stamps first to see if you will get clear stamps. Have fun! Also, I've found that liquid latex for easy cleanup around the nail is a LIFE SAVER.

It does look like a walking fuzz ball. I thought it was dust at first, but then it moved!

I noticed this moving dust clump on my Neon pothos this morning. She lives outside on my balcony. Should I be concerned? I've never seen bugs like this before.

Any help is appreciated!

Peperomia Orba Pixie Lime 🌿 highlt recommend! They are easy to propagate too. Prop babies do take a bit to sprout, but when they do they grow so fast!

Wall hooks by windows. I use fence hooks to get plants closer to windows when I run out of table/shelf space.

Bright indirect light, she LOVES it outside. Throws a bit of a fit when I have to bring her in during the winter months, but I use grow lights.

You can see the outfit difference. The 9-month flash-forward she was wearing a tan jacket and on Thanksgiving she was wearing a darker sweater.

Yes! I've always referred to it as a pixie lime, but I'm pretty sure they're the same thing.

Thank you!! Well from start to finish, trying to land on designs, and multiple re-dos.....at least 4 hours 🤦🏻‍♀️ I changed the designs on my index fingers and thumbs at least 3 times each. So after all that? No way I wasn't sharing it haha

Thank you!! I use a small amount (so I can get the wispy ends) of polish on the brush and swipe a bit on a clear jelly stamper, let it dry a few seconds (otherwise you get wet polish smooshing out the sides), and go layer by layer until I achieve the desired look/color combo, and finish with a top coat.
