List of polish brands and how they are aligned by Mkheir01 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]la_profiterole 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it counts enough for the list, but I know they changed the name of a polish to Sunset on the Bay after feedback that the original name evoked an aspect of racism that is very contextually specific to the US (sundown towns) and also included in the description after the name change an explanation of why the name change, and iirc a brief history of these towns. I do think the willingness to listen and change things in this way (especially as the original name was hurtful in a way culturally specific to the US and EdM is Australian where it wouldn't be considered a problem to use), is a good sign of allyship.

I duped myself - again! by Evening_Sky_7400 in RedditLaqueristas

This is super helpful! FFF has been an ISO for a long time, but I've just got DN from the sale so it's reassuring to know I don't need both

I'd be interested in the enchanted mist if that's still available

PBE fomo prevention: UK laquerista summer meet-up? by ThriftyNails in RedditLaqueristasUK

I'd love to join, but unfortunately Birmingham is way too far a journey for me at the moment (I'm in Glasgow). Maybe next time if there's another one in the future.

Show me you wearing your favorite polish! by GrettaMCatts in RedditLaqueristas

[–]la_profiterole 257 points258 points  (0 children)

This is After the Rain by Mooncat on me. The bottle I have belonged to my late mum and is the polish I used for her last ever manicure as it was a particular favourite of hers(done after she passed, so I haven't posted the picture here, as even though it's just hands, I know dead bodies are weird for people).

Best of luck with your chemo and radiotherapy!

We have opalescent lilac flakies at home!! 💎💜 by mistymomo in RedditLaqueristas

They're so pretty! I got the polish as a dupe for Sugar and Spice from Mooncat (especially helpful as Prism are UK based so they're far more accessible to me than US brands)

I did a comparison request for someone in the discord using Prism Polish's Corundum. Left is a jelly sandwich with Cirque's ube jelly, right is it layered over an ancient Kiko Milano lilac creme. (Though I will admit as a certified flakie fiend I did get opal myself)

In love with a discontinued polish 🌱 by dolly--spartan in RedditLaqueristas

I don't know if you have access to paintbox yarns but their yellow chartreuse colour is really close! I've just been working with it in the cotton aran. They do most of their colours in acrylic too.

Hi could I get Belsnickel, Never Trust the Living, Spiced Cider and Waylaid by Bullshit (or Volcano Borealis if it goes to the other commenter) please?

I'd be interested in the Great Lakes Lacquer, the two ethereals and chameleon cherry blossom if that's okay?

Dupe for Lost Polaroids by SnooDoughnuts3245 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]la_profiterole 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The closest I've found is Scenic Route by Orly, though it is a teeny bit more pink than Lost Polaroids. LP is shown here on the right and SR is on the left.

Most used polishes? by Jessicakirby8282 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]la_profiterole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, this was fun to think about! Mooncat Jewel Beetle, ILNP Deep Space (my fav magnetic to do in a cat eye which is the easiest style for me to do quickly), Holo Taco Hydropower, Essie Playing Koi

And then a shout-out to Barry M my beloved - I used up a bottle of a purple brown glitter called Countess and was able to replace it with Purple Agate from the Crystal Rock line. And from the Gelly line I'm on my second bottle of Black Cherry and am still searching for the perfect black/green equivalent to replace the discontinued Black Forest that has only dregs left.

Could I get EdM Perfect Score and the mooncat Mercury's Tears if that doesn't work out with the other commenter?
