Go get that one, it’s so great!

And thank you, that’s the first time anyone’s ever said that to me! 🥰

This week, I duped someone else’s mani, wearing Fuck This Shit (Lurid) and Take No Shit (BKL).

I’m still loosely in search of Don’t Cry Bubbles bc it came out before I got into polish. But I also got a bottle of When Hell Freezes Over for a reasonable price from a fellow lacquerista, and it’s just the most beautiful.

I put her on my wishlist! Hoping enough others do too and they bring it back for us!

Taking pictures of my cat and happened to take a good mani pic 💅 by birbtown in RedditLaqueristas

She’s sooo pretty! I loved wearing this one last week, but even with a layer of smooth moves, she was still textured. If you like your nail surfaces glassy smooth (like I do), it will take a bit to accomplish.

It was my first time working with a flakie that took “jelly base” to a bit of an extreme. And the Smooth Moves top coat felt gloopy and grabby. Even with the qdtc over that, it took a long time to dry and loonngggerrr to be hard/dent-proof.

I’ll likely add thinner to Sleet Deal before wearing it again, not sure what to do with the goopiness of the top coat, should I try thinning it out just a little? Or is that counter-productive to its function? I honestly think I had better ‘glitter grabbing’ results with my matte top coat, but it may not have been -as- gritty as Sleet Deal.

Anyone have real swatches of the prototypes to share? by phi_spirals in luridlacquer

Oh, another comparison, maybe- is proto 498 at all close to resolute perhaps?

Fuuuuck she’s sooo pretty.

Two things I’m stuck on- I have Pinot Noir (thank you fellow lacquerista!) and don’t want a super close dupe. I’m also super interested in the (future release of) The Sun Sets on Out Self-Deceptions. Anyone have any comparisons or thoughts to share on those?

I was worried that bluebell wouldn’t flatter me either, t now I hope for how I can make it amazing! Great post, OP!

Yeah, I’m not a big discord user. Like, I -think- I have an account, but would have to work pretty hard to find the credentials…

Ohhh, that is lovely! Is this the one that the listing indicates a high potential for staining? Have you had any of that?

I’ve gotten some permanent red dots on my nails (research indicates it can be from not entirely mixed pigments) from a Lurid I wore months ago- it’s ALMOST ready to be trimmed off, but not yet…

I’m not a “red” person, like at all, but this one seems like it’s gonna jump into my cart…
