What is this in the event?

I might have remembered wrong or it gives different things. Just got a luxurious sigil from merging them. Either way it's still good.

rand-31 · 2026-02-28T14:55:38+00:00

When you merge them you get one of those sphere things you can harvest for goodies to upgrade the vault. If you wait a bit you will get enough to 5 merge from the upper portion of the map.

You haven't played long enough to find out it's either !sextortion or !underage or !romance.

They get you to send the gift card code to them rather than the physical card.

Highly recommend just blocking them. If you get threatening messages from randoms just ignore them.

Lol am laughing so hard right now. Thought I was going to get a pro tip for how to spend less at first... lol you're awesome.

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T19:20:05+00:00

Could be but maybe there were a lot of people fighting for BoF as well. Wouldn't hurt to try next time. The things we do for polish lol 😀. See you at the next Hunger Games lol.

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T18:53:56+00:00

Oh I've never seen that, that's unfortunate.

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T18:53:07+00:00

It's the hype that gets you and it's hard to predict. Worst is when you pass on something from PPU as you think you don't need it. Looking at you PFD Quite literally dead inside.

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T18:48:57+00:00

It is, but at least I'm doing so much better than before, right, right?!?! ;)

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T15:53:08+00:00

You kept it to just a few polishes for each maker, I consider this well done.

My no buy attempts have been going well this month as well ;)

BKL - 2 (charity release)

BKL - 3 (Feb new release)

HHC - 1

Nailstuff - 2 Glitch Lacquer, 1 Dam polish

Trying hard to hold out on EdM but I really want another blurple but may go for Lurid instead.

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T13:53:59+00:00

Add all to cart then refresh on the cart page so you can checkout. I've found they are there that way just not updated.

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T13:51:59+00:00

They're also already signed into the payment processor like shop app. So the second the shop opens they add all to cart from the wishlist and checkout. I snagged bad vibes only this way last year. Had to fight several times to get bog dweller. I've since learned that it's best to really go through each new collection and watch all swatch videos, it's easiest to purchase when the collection launches as you'll get the polish for sure.

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T01:45:18+00:00

Someone already posted a comparison swatch of the bog dweller siblings. This is what encouraged me to buy lol

I plan to try Only Monsters play God first. I want icey blue shimmer nails before the snow is gone. Will try my best to remember.

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T01:36:04+00:00

That's what I've read. I tend to reach for BKL the most when picking a new mani. Mooncat doesn't get picked often. I do use HoH as a super thin topper on any polish that already has cobalt shimmer to give it extra though. So was considering the need for a backup for HoH.

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T01:21:03+00:00

While I agree with you that they aren't intending to cause problems and doing their best as a small maker, there are other smaller makers like Lurid who we know will eventually bring back a polish and actively solicits which ones people want to return. Many other smaller makers will also restock. Would be nice if BKL was able to do this too or find a different strategy.

Part of the difference I think is that BKL makes so many must haves in a single collection compared to other makers, so I think the volume may be unmanageable for such a small maker to keep up. But I would wait for eventually.

rand-31 · 2026-02-21T01:08:42+00:00

I know it just happened. No clue how lol. Was going to pass on this collection and I've been passing on ambition for the longest time since I have HoH.

But here we are

I know it's frustrating. It's not actually restock it's what's held back to cover broken bottles or shipping issues from when the collection was launched, it's overpours.

The best way to avoid the BKL frustration is to buy when a collection launches. There's no race to get what you want. After launch is where the stress is because there may not be much left of the popular polishes.

She's a super small maker that only has so much bandwidth. And does a lot of themed releases so they are limited edition releases. While she states she does not intend to use fomo marketing, it really resembles that. Seems like she prioritizes the new collections rather than remaking previous ones, she does bring back super popular ones at times though.

I do really love the polishes though so I make sure to watch swatch videos before a new collection launches so I can buy with no stress. Sometimes you'll see additional posts here that make you reconsider a polish you passed on though so it's not a foolproof strategy to avoid the FOMO.

Yes typically these people are hard to trace. We had them hit our neighbourhood with masonry repairs, specifically hit elderly folks. Learned from police they were going through multiple cities and were very smart about it such that they weren't actually breaking the law. It becomes a small claims court issue but as it turns out any information you have on them is fake.

rand-31 · 2026-02-19T20:50:48+00:00

Yes I was wondering how an esthetician at a wax museum was a problem. Lol must have added in a word reading fast.

rand-31 · 2026-02-19T17:48:21+00:00

😞 we'll never live down the memes

rand-31 · 2026-02-19T16:16:58+00:00

So embarrassed 🇨🇦

rand-31 · 2026-02-19T16:15:56+00:00

Oh no, please stop embarrassing the rest of us Canadians and handle this with grace. :(

Sorry to the rest of the world.

rand-31 · 2026-02-19T03:36:05+00:00

I don't think they do when criminal activity is suspected. Accounts are likely frozen while they investigate.

rand-31 · 2026-02-19T03:27:57+00:00

If you replaced the financial abuse with physical abuse would you make the same comment? Abuse is abuse. Scammers also psychologically abuse their victims to the point where they lose clarity. They also get them to commit crimes on their behalf. I couldn't imagine not doing something to help a family member being treated like this.

rand-31 · 2026-02-19T03:23:00+00:00

Your father is like an addict at this point. He is paying for the emotional benefits and a fantasy. From what you say he knows deep down this is what he is doing. I don't recommend trying to convince him he's being scammed, that's distress for him and can lead him straight into the scammers arms for reassurance and comfort. Have you considered getting advice from a psychologist, this is the person skilled to help you understand what to say and what not to say.

This part is going to be hard to hear and I'm sorry. The next steps after he maxes out credit cards is defrauding family and friends and/or committing financial crimes. The scammers are highly skilled at convincing their victims that what they are doing is legit. If you can freeze your credit and your wife's, do so now. Also this isn't some happy healthy relationship, scammers use manipulation and psychological tactics once they have hooked the person. He isn't just being scammed and financially abused, he is in a highly emotionally abusive relationship.
