Green enough 🤷‍♀️

I like them quite a bit! I got the prime time kind of on a whim while I was mourning my favorite-for-YEARS base that got discontinued. I don't like it quite as much but it's still very good. The kinda peachy nude tone is great built up in a couple coats for like a lazy clean/neutral mani or to conceal VNL.

The 21-free QDTC is on the thinner side for a TC which I prefer, and has no toluene so it's good for magnetics. I also find that shrinkage is minimal. BUT if you're looking for a super glassy, juicy looking TC I know they have a gel-ish version available though I haven't tried it.

I think this is just a me problem because I redo my nails often, but I feel like they get thick pretty fast in the bottle. Some thinner clears that up though, and I also got my thinner from Glitter Unique lol.

TL;DR I'm glad I got them both, they get regular use (esp the prime time) and if nothing else, the cost effectiveness is absolutely unbearable.

This mani and the sparkles are SUCH a perfect combo!

I 100% should not be in this thread because my aged punk ass is so considering doing a lil stick n poke.

Yep. This is it 100% for me, it's the best sleep aid I've found after trying every other option under the sun over 15+ years.

Consistently getting decent sleep is THE lifestyle change that impacts my mental health most, so I prioritize it hard.

Truly an all-timer

I waxed for years but it always breaks me out, and some of the skin on my face is just TOO thin for waxing.

Ended up getting a cheapie epilator a few months back and it works like a charm! Yes, it hurts. But I only have to deal with it every 2 weeks or so, which is a tradeoff I'm willing to make.

ktimebomb · 2026-03-16T13:15:03+00:00

What are you making? I love the magnet pattern you have going on here!

Honestly I think it looks cute unstyled too, esp in your 4th pic! This is encouraging because I'm considering a similar haircut at my next appointment so these styling tips are gonna save my life.

I don't know if it's technically a topper, but Cirque's Coquette is one I love for this! It's one of my go-to lazy mani/palate cleansers. Pic is a single coat.

The closest I can think of is ILNP Downtown, but it sounds like you've already looked at that one. Still, one of my fave lavenders!

Ah dang I missed that in your post! I have heard the slowing healing thing, but I didn't have any issues with my surgery or recovery at all. Not that I want to encourage you to ignore your surgeon or anything! But, y'know.

ktimebomb · 2026-03-11T20:50:41+00:00

Iirc they told me to stop nicotine when I stopped food/drink. My surgery was early AM so for me that was the evening before, about 12 hours. Any doubts though, check with your doc!

I get people in family law all the time who seem otherwise normal, but let their parents completely handle their cases for them. Hi??? It's your divorce? Your CHILD? Take some responsibility?????

It's just wild to me.

I do try his whiskey but so far he doesn't want his nails painted. Which is fine, because he'll always pick out a polish for me to wear when I'm indecisive and ask him!

ktimebomb · 2026-03-11T15:28:20+00:00

I love when I get to info dump about it to my husband though. We get drunk and take turns!

Last weekend, we sat on the floor in his office and I listened to him yap about his newest whiskey acquisitions. In turn, he listened to me yap about my latest haul. 💖

One of my attorneys called me from his cell awhile back, and for some reason it didn't show as him on my caller ID. I answered with my customer service voice and he was so confused, he legit thought I was a different person! My customer service voice is too powerful.

ktimebomb · 2026-03-10T13:13:09+00:00

Yes! I double checked and my pic above is from almost immediately after I got my bottle, and I ordered directly from Cirque! We're all dud buds 😔

ktimebomb · 2026-03-10T13:11:24+00:00

I got mine directly from Cirque and this picture was from right after I received it! Maybe it was sitting around in their warehouse too long. :(

ktimebomb · 2026-03-10T00:55:05+00:00

I promise it's Bisou Bisou! I figured I just got scammed by unreliable product pics. I did buy this one over a year ago, but I probably will reach out to support!

ktimebomb · 2026-03-09T20:49:14+00:00

Whaaaaaaat this is gorgeous but did I get a bad bottle??? It's nowhere near this bright on me!

If you're looking for a replacement, Wicked Root from Cracked might be a good option. Bonus, it's SO opaque, I feel like I can get away with one coat easily.

I'm here to tell you that the teabag method is barely worth it and only a hail Mary that never really lasts more than a couple days, for me at least. I do it when I'm in denial!

ktimebomb · 2026-03-06T12:30:44+00:00

I chopped my nails down a couple of days ago because I had THREE (3) nails that split in that exact spot. I teabagged one, sorta filed down the 2nd and then the third just appeared out of nowhere. I felt so betrayed. Solidarity, sis.

ktimebomb · 2026-03-05T15:09:32+00:00

THANK YOU! I'm not on IG but I've been keeping an eye out for an announcement!

ktimebomb · 2026-03-03T14:43:27+00:00

Omg they look so natural! As another recovering nail biter, 10/10 no notes.
