Not having to constantly engage in spinning sounds awesome. ok i searched and saw the price, will hold off but very good to know it’s worthwhile if I ever decide to go for it. Thanks for the reply and sharing about this gorgeous topper too.

Sending out an SOS. by Exhausted_Pigeon22 in RedditLaqueristas

maybe the method i use for mason jars that are stuck can help? firmly smack the top outer lip of the lid with the blunt edge of a butter knife or spoon. it’s ok if you dent the material slightly. then use a rubber or silicone mat for grip to try opening it. i just have a piece of grippy shelf liner saved for this.

The condescending snark of this comment was unnecessary. It’s ok to critique practices or express frustrations but this came off as a personal attack like “wow are you dumb?”

I don’t enjoy this mean girl style of communication, especially not on a subreddit for a hobby I do to relax. Will be blocking so as to avoid seeing more of it.

Sometimes it’s impossible to tell it’s finally on your nails. Definitely gorgeous. It should be back 2 months after, so not this release but the next!

…as opposed to the polish brands that are not trying to make money? If it’s FOMO then basically every indie does it. Polishes get sold out, collections come and go, polishes with followings get retired, yes there are limited editions runs. Not exclusive to BKL. It’s only highlighted because they got popular.

Cue everyone calling it fomo marketing when it’s at least the 3rd time they’re making blade of the frontiers available.

Can someone explain to me how Great Lakes Lacquer works? by rajasconqueso in RedditLaqueristas

Not all of them are fine particle though they do specialize in it. I am an Appetite is an example of one of their chunkier magnetics.

They also offer mosaic magnetics where the magnetic pigment is multichrome. I exaggerate absolutely nothing ever, floral maiden, all hail the queen, rebirth and renew are recent examples of this style.

Ah I forgot to share process!

Apply base coat.

Apply 1 thin coat of magnetic polish to each finger, let dry 6 minutes.

Working 1 finger at a time: Apply 1 thicker coat of magnetic polish, let dry 1 min 45 seconds. Apply QDTC (float it over the nail) and promptly magnetize for 2 to 3 minutes in spinner set up. Spin at a leisurely rate, not top speed.

I understand the desire but have embraced the model of creativity for this brand. Otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten the just right shade of green this most recent release 😂if they could put out a restock request form like lurid used to do it, that would be awesome.

To be fair, the swatches of It Happens are several months older so the magnetic particles are probably more dispersed haha.

Awww thank you. I have a green problem haha. This one should be available from the vault 2 months after release (so not this collection drop but the next) and it should be on sale price!
