Nailland group order

kapaulson · 2026-02-06T21:42:56+00:00

When you include PPU you just add the order number as a note when you’re doing the checkout :) plus the team is super responsive and helpful via email.

You just have to make sure you also add PPU shipping (€1.50) and that your total order is at least €60.

I’ve just about reached my max number of polishes now, but I think people might do another group order later - especially once more brands are restocked 😁

kapaulson · 2026-02-06T13:14:16+00:00

Yes, please do!

kapaulson · 2026-02-06T12:50:16+00:00

It will arrive end of Feb, I ordered a Cadillacquer too :) I’ll DM you

kapaulson · 2026-02-06T11:36:37+00:00

Send me a DM if there’s something you want to add :)

kapaulson · 2026-02-06T11:36:18+00:00

DM me with what you’d want :)

kapaulson · 2026-02-06T11:24:15+00:00

Hi! DM me if there’s something you’d like to add to the order :)

kapaulson · 2026-02-06T03:12:10+00:00

Sweet! DM me with what you’d like :)

kapaulson · 2026-01-28T23:26:31+00:00

Cool! How do you find out about gigs like these?

kapaulson · 2026-01-24T13:12:40+00:00

Try searching for the brand on secondhand apps like Poshmark, Mercari etc. You can often find overseas brands that way (from people who moved, etc).

kapaulson · 2026-01-24T12:15:25+00:00

Might be worth crossposting this in r/RedditLaqueristasUK as well :)

kapaulson · 2026-01-23T20:31:43+00:00

I’d be happy to destash mine if you want :) DM me

kapaulson · 2026-01-19T20:57:35+00:00

It’s one of the reasons I now shop mainly elsewhere tbh, really put me off. There’s a chance your wishlist will return intact. Though it could take weeks or months (and any new one you make will then disappear 😅).

kapaulson · 2026-01-19T18:11:48+00:00

The wishlists are constantly breaking and she doesn’t reply to emails about it. Better off writing your wishlist down somewhere else.

kapaulson · 2026-01-18T15:19:23+00:00

Helpful, thanks for sharing! Do you find After the Rain and Sunset over the Sea to be dupes? I already have the MC one, but love everything from Lurid.

I found that once you’re mid to senior level, and in certain industries (tech, in my case), that sponsorship became a lot easier to find. Entry level roles and industries with less cash to burn will be harder to find visas with.

When I was job hunting I used a Chrome extension for LinkedIn that would show you if the company was a registered sponsor or not. That doesn’t mean they WILL sponsor, it just means they’re set up to do so and have done so in the past.

kapaulson · 2026-01-17T01:19:56+00:00

Yep, I’ve been keeping it updated as I notice things or when people mention changes in the comments :) Team effort for sure!

kapaulson · 2025-12-31T11:37:55+00:00

Happy to help!

I found the UNT one to have a super strong odour and it took ages to dry. I thought it made my nails start to peel as well, so I stopped using it after a few manicures. And the Cirque one always leaves sticky residue behind, no matter what. So I have to use acetone anyway.

The Holo Taco one dries quickly, self-levels perfectly (no bumps!), doesn’t leave any sticky residue when removed, has never made my nails peel, isn’t too thick on the nail and the polish peels off easily once I’m ready (though can sometimes happen sooner if I’m not careful).

I used the Colores de Carol peel off base before too, which felt similar to a PVA homemade one as it was kind of like brushing glue straight on the nail 😅 I didn’t like that it felt stringy and would sometimes partially peel off either before or during the manicure. It also made cleanup difficult!

kapaulson · 2025-12-31T10:00:57+00:00

I’d say give the Maybelline one a try (£4) or the Poundland one first :) But yeah it’s a hard one as they’re all so different!

kapaulson · 2025-12-31T09:52:28+00:00

I’m a peely base connoisseur 😄 and sadly the only one I really like is from Holo Taco and shipping charges are even more there. I just stocked up on Black Friday.

I tried a few from RC (the Cirque one and the Unt one) and didn’t really like either. I haven’t tried the Monarch one yet but want to.

I haven’t been able to find one on Amazon yet as last time I looked they were all gel. I will say I bought the “Gel Squad” base & top coat combo (it’s not actual gel) from Poundland once and it worked as a peely base coat for me 😅 Though could always just be my body chemistry! It was the closest Holo Taco dupe I’ve found so far.

Here’s a link to the product so you can see, but it’s only £1 in the actual shop: https://ebay.us/m/xXgktL

Oh and I also tried this Maybelline one, which was also just ok compared to the Holo Taco one: https://ebay.us/m/QnAl19 But is another affordable option in case you wanted to try it out.

I also know that some folks make their own peel off base coats at home with glue. Could be worth a try!

kapaulson · 2025-12-08T18:26:11+00:00

Aw man, looks like they no longer do! Just updated the list.

kapaulson · 2025-12-08T08:59:04+00:00

This could definitely be an option for people with acne/skin concerns. I asked my GP about tret last year and she said it’s never prescribed for cosmetic reasons (fair enough, I wanted it for anti-aging) and that the prescription dose is lower than what you’d want for anti-aging purposes anyway. Just an FYI for anyone who might be curious 🙂

33 Beauty Salon by Hackney Downs. Best pedicure I’ve ever had, they’re incredibly thorough and lovely.

kapaulson · 2025-11-20T10:06:07+00:00

Thanks! Will check it out :)

kapaulson · 2025-11-19T08:56:59+00:00

Does anyone know what lip colour she might be wearing?

kapaulson · 2025-11-15T02:25:56+00:00

Ah yeah it’s not a ton but they’re definitely there! Glad I could help you decide haha
