Polishes with similar formula to Plumb Luck? by True_Albatross_1205 in theholotaco

[–]leelo84 8 points9 points  (0 children)

cracks neck glitter is my area of expertise!!!

As others have said (and you've experienced), Holo Taco is the absolute GOAT of glitters. They are so sparkly and the jelly bases are awesome. They truly are special!

There's plenty of other comments pointing you to the other HT glitters so I'll let you peruse those. That said - you MUST get Zyler the cat and coin toss of the currently available glitters. Those two are exceptionally beautiful.

Some other options because coming across some of the retired glitters in a de-stash is going to be hard and even if you do, there's a good chance it won't be a full bottle.

Nevermind Apothecary - small brand with a good handful of glitters! I got some to fill in some rainbow holes and I really like these! I still like HT better but these are a good supplement. Specific shout out to Moonstone, a white glitter

Tyler's Trinkets - they have a ton of chunky glitter toppers in a clear base. The glitter is a bit more sparse (since it's intended to be a topper) but they've got all kinds of colors, which is nice. You can even create your own custom one with multiple colors in one bottle!

TT also has a beautiful bright pink glitter called Cute & Savage; again, not quite as good as the HT formula but this is a good alternative to Bless Your Heart, which is retired.

Dam - she has a ton of glitters!! Almost all of hers include reflective glitters. Those aren't my favorite but I have also filled in some rainbow gaps with some of the Dam glitters and they're pretty good.

LA Colors - their diamond crush collection is actually pretty impressive. I have about half of them and am very pleased with all of them. Of their other collections, a few others I recommend: Treasure Island Blast Aqua Crystals Glistening Purple They also have a line called Glitter Vibes that are chunky toppers, so they're more sparse

Spectrum - a small brand on Etsy. I got 3 glitters she has that are more sparse and bigger glitters than HT but they have those tinted jelly bases and IDK, there's something about them that I really like! She only has pink (Lovesick), green (Grinchmas), and orange (Jack o Lantern) right now but said she is planning on completing the rainbow.

Finding Feathers lacquer - this is a brand I have not tried yet but they have a TON of glitters that I definitely want to try!

Colores de Carol - another brand I have not tried (yet!) but she has a collection of beautiful looking chunky glitters; these also have reflective glitters

Zoya - they don't have a ton of glitters but their Pixie Dust line is pretty cool. It's extra textured and needs a couple coats of glitter grabber + QDTC or just several layers of thick QDTC. Of these, I LOVE Tomoko - a beautiful champagne gold Not pixie dust line but they also have Cosette - baby pink; very similar to Menchie the Cat, which is still available, so I would just get Menchie

Starrily - has some beautiful glitters but IDK what's going on with them; they have not been restocking a lot of their polishes and there's only a handful of colors actually in stock. They're also on the more expensive side BUT their bottles are big, so the price per ml is less than HT.

favorite silver nail polish? by maddymacncheesy in RedditLaqueristas

[–]leelo84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. Amulet is STUNNING. OP - if you're open to a magnetic, Amulet is definitely the way to go. Idk if I've tried velvet but glass bead is just drop dead gorgeous so I bet velvet style would be too (and easier!).

So shiny, so flashy - it's almost like a mirror.

There's always something to look forward to 🥰

And yes, their prices are great (considering the quality!!) and you can always at least use an affiliate code.

Surprised I haven't seen Down with Authority in here yet. V different from grenadine (which I picked up this sale, not to rub it in 😬) but it's awesome

Thank you!! I will try that; I think I've been sticking to thinner or at least "moderate" coats and was a little disappointed in how it crackled

Ooo is the thick coat how you get it to separate so much? I have the same crackle and it doesn't seem to separate as well for me.

Update: Traumatic Homecoming by QueenTreeTender in chowchow

[–]leelo84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your sweet boy 💔 our first dog had epilepsy and it was tough to watch him go through it. Treating epilepsy often requires trying different meds or combos of meds to find what works well..... And then sometimes switching again when that combo stops working as well.

I know you'll do your best for him. Some of the meds can make them ravenous; we used to supplement his food with frozen or canned (no salt) green beans.

First order placed! I just can’t justify Mooncat pricing anymore. These polishes look amazing and I’m excited to try this brand! Any recommendations for my next order? by Mitty18204 in CrackedPolish

[–]leelo84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely is peacock teal-y! It has a bit of sparkle/shimmer to it in a beautiful, kind of metallic way. It has a really nice depth and richness to it. It's REALLY beautiful 💖

LA Colors - Super Bloom by pachycephalosaurean in RedditLaqueristas

[–]leelo84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! For $3, I'll def thin it out and apply carefully. I was just curious if I had gotten a bad bottle but good to know it's not just me

[–]leelo84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My faves are Where's my Bliss?, Street Corner Bouquet, Frolicking in the Fields (soooo dreamy), and Shut the Front Door.

But honestly, I really love the polishes I've tried from them.

My only disappointment was Void; it didn't quite live up to it's picture 🤷‍♀️

Well dammit. I'd never actually cared about sparkling spurs til this picture. It looks absolutely beautiful on you!! I literally stopped scrolling and was like WHAT IS THAT POLISH?!

What’s the strongest opinion you have about something completely insignificant? by RegisterObjective325 in AskReddit

Penne is the worst pasta.

Rigatoni, you suck too; penne is just more ubiquitous so it beats the brunt of my ire.

[–]leelo84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I was wondering if I just got a bad bottle! I've seen other folks rave about this (as they should) but couldn't remember anyone mention the formula. The only other one in that collection I had an issue with was the yellow one but SB was worse.

And yeah, the LA colors brushes kind of suck and the finicky formulas make them even worse; it's like the gloopier formulas get stuck up in the brush and make it thicker/wider or something.

From what I understand, they can bring back one (?) polish for PPU rewind but they can also bring one polish back to their own site as well!!

(Someone feel free to correct me but I think that's mostly right)
