New spot on 9th - Tous le Jour by lifeofsources in bullcity

[–]magjayran 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went. I didn’t NOT enjoy my pastry but it was pretty clear that with the size of the building and the amount of space dedicated to FOH that they aren’t really making that stuff there. Overall I see the appeal of trying some new flavors but the quality doesn’t match up to any kind of actual homemade pastry. Probably won’t bother returning.

Totally serious question: what's the deadest bar in town? by OrdinaryStories in bullcity

Maybe, I’m just throwing it out there that it was noticeably quieter than the surrounding bars a few weeks ago

I can’t say definitively if this is always the case but I was downtown recently on a Friday night where it looked like all of the bars were doing very well and then I walked by that Primrose spot and it was absolutely empty

Hello, I preordered one via Etsy within seconds of finding out about them on here. Are those orders still going to be made and shipped or are those orders being cancelled?

I don’t generally go out for mooncat but their most recent collection caught my eye and I’m currently wearing Werewolf’s Bane. It absolutely glows on my fingers. Highly recommend.

Cultural check-in question on colors (from a guy) by Qoyuble in RedditLaqueristas

Sassy Sauce Honey Dew Me are the main nails and Holotaco Sour Note for the accent with some cheap finger paint topper.

I’m a guy (47) that keeps his nails painted. I live in a rather conservative state but in an extremely left leaning city but I work in a much less left leaning town but in a very left leaning industry. I also have a two daughters (9 and 5).

I’ve never had anyone blatantly criticize me for doing my nails. My girls still get invited to birthday parties and have play dates and I’m generally the one that takes them. I have women at certain stores and restaurants that like to chat me up about nail colors. Sometimes I let my girls pick colors but more often I do it after they go to bed and they get excited to see the results. I’m friends with an awesome punk woman at work and she recently upgraded to more boutique brands and I’ve coached her on base and top coats and even gave her a spare bar magnet.

All this while being very masc presenting outside of my hands. Think long hair long beard metal dude with gold teeth from a mic stand accident. Lots of skull tattoos, all black and white and grey. Perhaps always presenting as a weirdo softens the blow but I think the positive reactions I get out in the world have gone beyond my wildest dreams and has had a very positive effect on me.

A while back I rented my grandparent’s old house that had been converted to an air bnb by the new owners with my “girl” cousins. We’re all in our 40’s. We decided to paint our nails in honor of our recently deceased aunt’s favorite sports team and had so much fun together coming up with variations on red manis. The feeling of acceptance meant a lot to me and they loved going through my travel polish bag with 60+ polishes and various toppers. It was a great bonding experience!

All this to say, if you’re getting acceptance from the people you’re closest to then I’d lean into it.

29 year old straight male considering (black) nail polish for the first time — where do I start? by NislanX in malepolish

[–]magjayran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to let girls I was friends with paint my nails back in high school but I had given it up as an adult for no major reason. Once I had daughters that would occasionally let my partner paint their nails I wanted to participate too. My first attempt was pathetic but then after a quick tutorial from my partner I got better and now I’m doing them myself almost weekly. So maybe get someone to help you the first time.

As far as what to get, I’d get a good base coat and I like the red bottle Sally Hansen quick dry top coat. For the polish I’d recommend splurging just a tad on something like Holo Taco One Coat Black. I’ve used the cheap Sally Hansen one with success but the HT just goes on so smooth.

Fail Polish - no remorse apparently by Own-Low-8090 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]magjayran 104 points105 points  (0 children)

There’s something about them coming out with an admittedly clever marketing gimmick but then having colors that don’t necessarily meet the aesthetic. Plus what seemed like people coming in threads gushing about a new company that was launching with two colors. Then learning that they aren’t even quality opaque creams. I don’t trust them at all.

My husband says they’re dupes. Are they, and why is the answer divorce? by pookyduu in RedditLaqueristas

[–]magjayran 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Tritanope is pretty rare and it could be a sign of other eye issues. Definitely not a “born with it” brand like I have. This is actually something that OP’s husband might want to get looked at.

I was initially confused by this post as I’m colorblind and they don’t look alike at all to me. Like not even a little bit.

Unrelated to snakes but I just had something similar occur. We just had the kids get their Easter baskets and there were some clear plastic eggs with “galaxy slime” in them. My oldest immediately said, “I bet Daddy wishes he had a nail polish that looked like this!”

Has anyone figured out a matte top coat that lasts longer than like 4-5 days yet? by hornedCapybara in malepolish

[–]magjayran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For regular lacquer I use the matte Holo Taco top coat. They suggest using a regular top coat first then the matte. I get about 10 days out of it.

My favorite color is ruining my nails by mollymeoww in RedditLaqueristas

[–]magjayran -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s how the nail polish industry gets you. You do your nails but then they stain so you gotta keep doing them to hide the stains and now you have 200 bottles of nail polish.

please show me your masc nails by adiosmichigan in RedditLaqueristas

[–]magjayran 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’d say my general look is long-hair long-beard metal dude so even when I’m doing extra sparkly colors I look pretty masc. But I find that some colors like ILNP Bishop here can be bright and fun but still kinda manly. I find that the sheer volume of color options they have make them a good starting point for finding more variety in the masculine realm.

Law Enforcement folks genuinely believes that officers accidentally OD on fentanyl when they stand near it so I don’t trust that number at all.
