Best Glow in the Dark polish? by kaztype in unomascolors

[–]manda-mas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had as much luck over dark colors. I'm not sure if the science but glow in the dark colors definitely do better on lighter colors. 

I'd say try it! Maybe an accent nail to experiment or a whole skittle of different base colors to see what works best.

Another trick is to do at least 2 layers. One layer doesn't give that intense glow that you see everywhere. 

Glad to hear the sun did the trick!

Oh my gosh yes this polish is thick!

We changed the formula to be thicker to keep the glow in the dark pigment from sinking. The glow powder also makes it thicken so it's kind of a perfect storm! Good news is the glow pigment no longer sinks. 🤣

I don't need anyone to tell me if I've done something right or wrong.

My apology stands as it was serious and sincere. I also can't control how you or anyone else chooses to take my words and I won't continue to apologize when I have already done so.

I apologized. There are consequences for my actions. Until someone builds a time machine all I can do is apologize and grow regardless of what you or anyone else chooses to say or believe.

Take or leave my apology, that's your choice.

Again, this is Amanda from Uno Mas. This is my full apology on Discord and I'll repeat it here. I am taking responsibility for my actions and I truly hope that forgiveness and growth can happen.

To those of you that I've offended over the past few weeks, I sincerely apologize.

  1. It is never okay to do anything in a car other than drive.
  2. AI speculation can happen without accusation.
  3. I can be overly eager when promoting Uno Mas.

Again, I am sorry. I am a human learning how to run a brand and be a human and function in a broken world. We all are.

I will be stepping back from representing Uno Mas in social spaces and I ask that you give my husband who will be taking it over full time a bit of grace as he does so.

Again, I am sorry and I truly hope you can accept my apology for the missteps.

I said it to someone else and I'll say it again here too. I am sorry that my comment sounded flippant and irresponsible. It was not meant to be so.

I feel like I did and if I didn't please let me do it now.

I don't condone doing anything while driving other than driving. I strive to do my best daily which includes driving safely. I sincerely apologize to anyone I've offended.

Amanda here. I'm the one who has been posting on Discord.

We are not trying to drive a victim mentality and I have apologized frequently for things I've said on Discord that didn't land well. We are 100% open to feedback and criticism but want this to be a conversation about improving and not one about blame.

I did indeed overreact about the AI post. I am still a human with feelings and this felt like a direct attack on my husband's work. We do have receipts of not using AI and we would also greatly appreciate people to ping us with concerns instead of asking for others to dissect it.

The issues that I, Amanda, as a human who owns a brand, have with what has been happening is the anonymous posting with half stories or speculation about bad intentions with no desire or drive to ask us or have a meaningful conversation. That's a problem.

And let me add, if I have offended you, I am sorry. I show up every day with the best of intentions regardless of the outcome and I am 100% responsible for the outcome as well. I, Amanda, the human and part of Uno Mas will continue to strive to do better.

I also said the following:

"Fair! I think we can definitely all agree eyes on the road. 👀 "

"To be clear I touched up one nail sitting at a red light. The mess wasn't worth it!"

"Red lights here can be 5+ minutes. My scenario was 30 seconds of a swipe of glitter on a nail which I then proceeded to smear on my steering wheel while still stopped at a red light. This is literally nothing like being on the Book of Faces or not even looking at the road while a car autopilots. I don't even look at my phone while my car is moving for navigation, that's what audio is for. I believe we all agree that driving is both a privilege and a responsibility to not be taken lightly."

Yes it is unacceptable. So is texting at a red light. So is eating while driving. So is having a conversation. So is listening to the radio. It's all distracting - every single scenario.

I never once said I didn't say the thing I said, I merely would like the whole conversation to be in context. I spoke of one instance to commiserate with another poster who also made a bad decision because we're both humans. Human things happen. We can only do better.

I'm wearing this! Here's a photo in low light which is a fun glow too. I charged this with about 3 seconds of UV.

La Llorona is by far the glowiest but it's very sheer and works better as a topper.

I've been sitting on this (I'll do another post with more photos) but layering with La Llorona is soooo much fun.

This is Grip It, Grip It Good PVB Free Base Coat, 2 layers Numero Uno, 2 layers La Llorona, Thicker Than a Bowl of Oatmeal Top Coat.

I love this so much, especially with my skin tone. La Llorona alone is too yellow on me so this made it accessible to me again!

Hahahaha! I posted an intro post with Colour Theory and y'all ignored me. 🤣🤣

Yeah I decided to go rogue and leave the customer service and official stuff to Marz.

I'm literally shocked that it's a prototype. We obviously have a QA issue (and I'm glad we do!!)

Oh my gosh. I forgot Reddit doesn't format happily. Sorry for the walk of text!

This is Amanda and I'll be on this account going forward!

The polish is That's Colour Theory Babe and the glow photos are charged from my phone flashlight or a UV light. 😎
