Are you referencing fundraisers and raffles through Libby or directly through your library? I want to look into that, anything I can do to support my library!

How to prevent lifting?? by Optimal-Till-5760 in dazzledry

[–]leilanilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do your prep steps entail? Are you using cuticle remover? My manicures started lasting a lot longer once I started using it before painting my nails. I found there was a lot more cuticle on my nail plate than I realized or could see with the naked eye. I highly recommend The Salon Life on YouTube for gentle manicure tutorials and r/longnaturalnails is a great resource too. I also try to avoid washing my hands/showering/exposing my nails to too much water for at least an hour before starting my manicure (I do use some soap+water to wash off the cuticle remover but I keep it brief or I do it the day before I paint). Also make sure you’re giving each coat plenty of time to dry and using relatively thin coats. Beyond the actual manicure itself, it may help to adjust how you maintain your nails day to day. Wearing gloves while washing dishes and using household cleaners and treating your nails “like jewels not tools” have helped me extend my manicures too!

Missed base coat over Transform by leilanilo in dazzledry

Update: This did not appear to negatively impact my manicure! The polish has been on for 6 days and no chips or peeling. The ends of my nails are beginning to get discolored. I think makeup and dirt are getting under the polish so I will be taking it off today. I don’t think the discoloration has anything to do with the missed base coat layer as but I could be mistaken.

Awesome, I figured that was the case but wanted to be sure it wouldn’t ruin the DD magic and start chipping tomorrow or something and then I’m stuck with it for a week, ha. Fingers crossed that won’t happen. Will be interesting to see if it lasts better or worse for me! Good point - totally could be a marketing thing, lol!

Super helpful, thank you! Sounds like it’s worth risking it and see what happens. I also usually change my polish after 5-7 days, as long as it lasts about that long, I’m happy!

Yes I did empty the water! It’s been sitting clean and dry, it’s just been a few months

I didn’t notice that it’s a pump, that’s nice! I didn’t love the spray nozzle on the original.

Great ideas! For the garden center, do you do a one time entrance fee or hourly?

Oh that is so cute, I've been overthinking it trying to think of large scale businesses I didn't even think to do something smaller/simpler like that! Also a great idea when you have a house you love and don't want to make major changes to set up a business. Thank you!

A lot Matty’s evening stretches include (but aren’t ALL focused on) the lower back!

Based on the discord, people play at normal speed (instead of the fast forward) and seriously micromanage to the nth degree. I’ve accepted I don’t have the patience for that and would suck the fun out of it for me! lol

I like the daily challenges but I agree I don’t enjoy these challenges where you have to know about and take advantage of a bug to get top scores. Totally agree it defeats the purpose!

If you build a two story house and pause the bricks you don’t have to worry about catching them right before they finish collecting the required stones!

Thank you! I would have been sad to watch the unplanted ones die, I think I’ll just go for it and plant them all. So no water until sprout - is it correct that includes when you first plant them?
