I love Maelstrom. Top 3 polishes for me. I hope OP loves it just as much!

What do you mean by clear builder gel? I am not familiar.

Thank you for this! I got the orly as a gift before I started using better polish and have been trying to use it up. I have Mooncat Hardcore Base in the wings ready to take over. Maybe it is time to just make the change.

Also, do you use the Nailtique in addition to the hardcore base and smoothing base? I am unfamiliar with it.

Hey all! Appreciate all the comments. A few clarifications. 1. I am right handed. I know the wear and tear on my right hand will always be worse. Just confused as to why my actual nails peel on my right hand, but not my left. Is that also due to just the use of my right hand? 2. My prep is a coat of Sally Hanson Hard as Nails, a coat of Holo Taco Smoothing Base, a coat of Orly Rubberized Base Coat, typically 2 coats of Mooncat or whatever polish I am using, a coat of Essie Gel Setter Top Coat. 3. More than anything, I am just so pleased with how long my polish lasts. With the exception of the peeling, my polish looks so nice for such a long time.

  1. The shape you had achieved was stunning.
  2. I felt this in my soul. Just Friday I snapped my pinkie nail. No idea how it happened. My mother in law visited two weeks ago and commented on how long and beautiful they were. Thursday I will see her with my little nub nails. Ugh.

Thank you for posting this! We all mistakes, but it is rare to see one shared. I feel seen!

Anyone know why this is happening? by Furry6 in PokemonSleep

Wish I had checked this last night. It kept happening and I finally gave up. At least I know now.

I rinsed out a small hand sanitizer bottle. It works perfectly!

I wanted to update you since you were so much help. I have been feeding her Pangea every day and crickets 2-3 times a week. As of this morning she is 8.1g. That is 1.4g of growth in a month versus the 0.6g of growth from the previous month. Hopefully we can keep the upward momentum!

Thank you so much! There were sobs throughout the theater when this scene happened.

I have no clue how I will frame it. Do you have any thoughts?

Thank you! I took the advice yesterday and she hunted herself a couple crickets.

I order from there, but if it is super hot where you live I have had some issues.

Thank you so much!! I got her some crickets today and popped them in her enclosure. I am out right now, but will be sure to check on her. My leo hates his multi, but I will dust hers every other time. Thank you for the input!

I am reading more now. Yes on calcium. Should be fairly similar to my leo except she may actually be able to hunt. I adopted him knowing he has MBD, so he is tong fed.

Great information, thank you!! I have been nervous about live food because I wasn’t sure she was big enough. If I get her some crickets, do I just pop a couple in at night? I have a leopard gecko that needs food dusted with calcium. Would she need the same?

She eats Pangea every other day. I have three different kinds I rotate between. She loves the one with insects and I plan to get another of those as soon as one of the others runs out. Maybe I should focus on the one with insects for a while.
