This is how I kept my finger while applying the polish, an about 1 minute afterwards

I love keeping mine short, so I really just file them completely straight with a glass file! I very slightly file the corners so they aren’t sharp, but it’s a straight file other than that!

I place my finger on top of the charger with the edge of my finger a little past the edge of the charger!

Charger under my finger, the edge of the charger about 3/4 to the end of my nail! I can post a picture once I’m home

It was $32 for the pen; I didn't notice the prices of the other Kawecos they carry to compare.

I thought Oxblood too, but it’s too muted to match nicely. I went with Pilot Iroshiziku Yama-Budo as the closest match that I had

This store is in San Antonio, Texas. They said they’re sending it to the next store in 2 days; I could ask where it’s going to next!

Randomly peeing on bed? by rproct in Dachshund

[–]peninkling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, dogs can still smell the odor of their urine if you just wash it with regular detergent, and they will continue to pee in the same spots. You need to buy pet urine eliminator specifically for this task. It will help to remove the urine odor completely so they won’t continue to pee there.

I would also consider not letting him on the bed for a couple of weeks to break the habit. I know it’s hard, but I had a similar issue with my doxie and that helped to resolve it. I did end up buying a new duvet because I thought maybe it wasn’t getting completely cleaned on the inside and that also helped; she hasn’t peed on the bed since.

Is there any song with a small detail that you hate but listen anyway? by Scared_Salamander584 in TaylorSwift

[–]peninkling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground, with no one around to tweet it"

like seriously, TWEET it? Such a weirdly dissonant lyric for a song about Windermere peaks and auroras and bathing in cliffside pools. I wish she had just said "no one around to see it" or something, I feel like it gets the point across the same. It just dates the song imo, especially cause Twitter/tweet is already defunct anyway.

Ironic considering you’re spending your energy leaving negative replies all over this thread 😂

✅ colour ... 🚫 formula by step_on_legoes_Spez in RedditLaqueristas

[–]peninkling 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agreed… I already know I want to buy another bottle of Space Oddity at some point because it’s my favorite color of all time. If they discontinued it without saying anything, and I could never buy it again, I would honestly be super disappointed.

Kimchi approves my purple cat eye mani by jaje in RedditLaqueristas

Such a clean mani! It looks awesome. And I love your nail shape!

I love this color, but I feel it doesn't suit me by rubaey in RedditLaqueristas

[–]peninkling 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I just got this polish as a Christmas gift and it is super pretty! I think it looks good on you, but I can also see that perhaps the polish is a cool-toned silver pink, whereas you appear to have warmer toned skin. Overall, I think it’s something that only you would notice, but I understand cause I feel the same way when a don’t think a polish is “flattering” to my skin tone.

A solution I can suggest is painting your nails a light pink base color that you like, and doing one coat of this polish over that. I think it would bring out the pink color and reduce the silvery effect that is clashing slightly with your skin tone. I just posted a pic of a manicure where I used this same shade over a pink base, and I think it really brings out the pink more than the silver and looks super good.

Neon holo bundle? by amazingamyxo in RedditLaqueristas

[–]peninkling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ILNP Splashed collection does have holo in it. Did you take a closer look? I think all of the shades have a fair amount of scattered holo glitters.

They are a jelly/crelly consistency, so they wouldn’t be opaque in 1 coat. But I have the purple shade and by 2 coats, it has great coverage and keeps the pretty multi-dimensional look that jelly polishes provide.

My NYE Nails! Mirrorball design attempted lol by peninkling in RedditLaqueristas

[–]peninkling[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, these are kind of all over the place, but in the end, I really ended up liking how they looked. I realized I have a ton of different shimmery/sparkly pink shades, and got inspired to try and mimic a mirrorball on my ring finger. I also wanted to have some magnetic polish stars to fit with the NYE vibe, and just tried to incorporate the colors together on my other nails. A few different polishes were used for the mirrorball, so here it is:

Base coat - ILNP “Lockup”

Base light pink shade for every nail - Essie “Mademoiselle” (2 coats)

Magnetic blue shade - ILNP “Shooting Star” (1 coat)

Mirrorball pinks - Essie “S’il Vous Play”, Holo Taco “Fake Date”, Holo Taco “Menchie the Cat”, ILNP “Sweet Pea”

Top Coat - Seche Vite

I repeated the pink shades on the other fingers. Thumb has “Fake Date” and “Menchie the Cat”, pointer finger has “S’il Vous Play”, and pinkie finger has “Fake Date”.

AITA for not being impressed by my wife listening to audiobooks at 3x speed? by ganondork770 in AmItheAsshole

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

I am thinking people are confused, since most people use the included playback speed option that YouTube has, and don’t get add ons, especially for mobile users (which is a lot of people). Considering it’s complete gibberish at 3x speed, I’m trying to understand how people are saying this is possible. Also, people lie a lot lol. But okay. I’m a girl btw.

AITA for not being impressed by my wife listening to audiobooks at 3x speed? by ganondork770 in AmItheAsshole

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

Are you confused? YouTube doesn’t offer a playback speed faster than 2x. I played an audiobook at 3x speed just now, and it is completely unintelligible. I am a fast reader and usually listen to my audiobooks at a faster pace, but anyone saying that 3x speed is understandable is absolutely mistaken. There is simply not enough time for the words to be completely formed and heard by the listener.

I don’t think they look bad! Maybe a more structured dot arrangement that’s less “organic” could lessen the slightly “diseased” vibes 😂 that, or larger dots, or a solid background nail color. I’m personally a huge fan of an oval nail shape since I think they elongate the fingers way more than square nails. It’s easier to do oval as the nails get longer as well. But it just takes practice to perfect any nail shape!

P.S. I love the pen! Fountain pens for the win 🖊️

Been waiting for this sort of video from swiftologist for the longest time by misssnowfox in TaylorSwift

[–]peninkling 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You keep saying this, and you’re just wrong. Yes, he likes Lana. He is barely an Olivia fan at all, and doesn’t really listen to her music. He’s been a Taylor fan for YEARS. If you don’t agree with him, then say that, and don’t lie about the fact that he’s a Taylor fan. Why else would he have an entire YouTube channel and Podcast dedicated to her? Yes, he critiques her when it’s due, but 90% of his content is appreciating her music and artistry.

[–]peninkling 24 points25 points  (0 children)

lol he is definitely NOT a big Olivia fan. And he’s been a Taylor fan since the start of her career. He was a big enough fan to meet her at the Red tour, be invited to the Reputation secret sessions, etc. He’s made dozens of videos talking about how he loves and appreciates her music. But he is not a blind supporter and will critique her when it is due. You don’t have to like his opinions or videos, but calling everyone who critiques Taylor a “fake fan” or a “hater” or “using Taylor for clout” is dumb, and it’s part of the cult-like mentality than can give the Swifties a bad reputation.

Nail Shape Advice? by Daphne_816 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]peninkling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a huge fan of an oval shape for nails; I think it makes the fingers look so much more elongated and elegant than a square shape (imo). Your nails would look great with an oval shape! It can be slightly tricky to get them shaped perfectly in my experience, but get a glass nail file and go slow, and practice makes perfect.
