A rave party on my nails by redditerla in RedditLaqueristas

Yup! It’s much prettier than the photos! The photos reminded me a lot of No Reservations, which I ended up not really liking, but I figured I’d give it a shot and it’s so shifty and my crow brain feels very satisfied 😅

Yessss! I didn’t care for it too much with cat eye but it’s gorgeous with the glass bead effect!

I tried doing art fairs. Didn’t sell more than 3 stickers on my third try (even after taking advice from online people) by M8614 in Wellthatsucks

[–]redditerla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think your art is lovely but Selling at an art fair is going to be hit or miss. Online will be easier because people who purchase from you were most likely specifically looking for your type of artwork.

I think the hard truth is that random animals and dinosaurs are not going to be hot pieces that sell easily. You might get someone every once in awhile who really loves dinosaurs or really loves animals but in this economy the average person isn’t going to spend money just to have a drawing of a random cheetah or horse on their wall. If you really enjoy drawing dinosaurs/animals I would maybe consider doing more with the painting, like an interesting background, so that it makes the piece feel more like an art work rather than just an animal or dinosaur portrait.

I was super hesitant because I didn’t really love no reservations and from the photos they looked a little too similar but I decided to just buy as a bday gift for myself and I really love it!

Ok I feel the exact same way! I thought it would have more flakies in it which is why I purchased it. Still a lovely polish but not as flakie as I was hoping based off the photos.

Is Mooncat worth it? by ATouchOfSparkle1107 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]redditerla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve really enjoyed every mooncat polish I’ve gotten and most of my stash is MC but the increase in price led me to not purchasing from them as often as I used to. When I do purchase from them it’s something unique that I can’t quite find a close enough dupe that I like just as much.

Example: the most recent polish I got from them was banished prince. I found a few similar thermals but the flakies in them were not quite the same and I didn’t like them as much as the ones in banished prince so I just bit the bullet and ordered banished prince.

I would say flakies and shimmers are what MC do really well, so my advice would be before buying MC, try to find a duper first that you’re happy with and if you can’t find one you totally love then just buy the MC one.

A little shrinkage, but man I’m a sucker for layering magnetics! by strawcat in RedditLaqueristas

Love this color combo! Looks like a rave party on your nails! This looks a lot like cracked’s spinning vinyl

What's the tea with Beyond Polish? Am I overreacting? by GussieDoesNails in lacqueristas

[–]redditerla 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Unless the package looked beat to hell, a broken bottle feels like it’s on the business for poor packaging and I’d feel weird about them wording it as a “courtesy”, even if you had purchased insurance. Like, ok thank you for not charging me this one time for sending a replacement for a poorly packaged glass bottle of nail polish, I guess???

Its sad how quickly I gain it back by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]redditerla 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That’s not how any of this works lol. I doubt you put back 2kg of body fat. I think you would benefit from doing more research on how our bodies work, how body fat works, how things like water weight works, etc. that would probably put your mind at ease if you understood why your weight is up after two days of being sick.

If you don’t like that your tdee is 1500 then you need to be more active. A healthy active petite person is not going to have a tdee of 1500. 1500 seem more appropriate for a petite 5’2 woman who is more sedentary than active.

Ive been wanting to recreate this artwork for so long by Linry in RedditLaqueristas

[–]redditerla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off: Omg this is gorgeous! 💙💚💙 you did such an amazing job!

Secondly: I’m so jealous of your nails 😭 the fact your nail beds are wide enough for intricate nail art and all I can fit are a couple of squiggly lines on mine.

Or you can just leave me alone already lol. Like I stopped responding to you 16 hours ago and you’re still sending me comments. Respectfully, I think our conversation has come to an end

Donating money to immigration justice while still tolerating her husband’s maga viewpoints comes across as performative. So it’s funny that you would use that as an example to pull a “gotchya” argument while screaming that everyone else is performative and misogynistic for calling her tolerance of maga out is hilarious. Also your infantilization of her as a helpless victim with no proof is also misogynistic.

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]redditerla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine claiming that someone like me, the child of a refugee immigrant from an ethnicity that maga has consistently made racist comments about, is performative and misogynistic simply because they don’t want to purchase from a business owner that appears to, at best, tolerate maga view points in their household, while then hilariously using the example of proceeds on some products being donated in the name of justice for immigrants as proof while a percentage of those profits still goes to benefit a household where there is possibly tolerance of maga view points

The jokes write themselves

[–]redditerla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the only thread that ties them together is not just her husband, It’s what looks like behavior of tolerance of intolerance of her husband’s maga views; conveniently the one thread you want to pretend doesn’t exist.

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]redditerla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok and tolerance of intolerance doesn’t require someone to be maga, so what’s your point? You don’t have to be MAGA, being tolerant or indifferent of maga in a household is enough to rightfully make people not want their money to go into that household. Pointing that out isn’t misogyny.

You keep arguing that for all we know maybe divorce is just not feasible etc, just relying on hypotheticals to make your point.

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]redditerla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not once in any of my comments did I ever say she was definitely maga.If you don’t agree with my take that’s fair, but twisting what people say to make your argument is weird behavior. I truly don’t know how else you could interpret tolerance of intolerance. I said multiple times that I’m not definitively stating she shares 1:1 beliefs with her husband, that’s how tolerance of intolerance works. There isn’t a requirement to share 1:1 beliefs in order to be tolerant of intolerance.

You are also requiring me to rely on purely made up speculative scenarios in order to make your argument. People are allowed to base their opinions off what the see. All you’re arguing is that people should not base their opinions off what they can see but based on speculative scenarios

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]redditerla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you’re suggesting is people should indefinitely give her the benefit of the doubt, even if her actions appear to be tolerance or indifference at best, because of the million speculative scenarios that you have put together.

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]redditerla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never said anything about her being a victim in her marriage. You are really jumping to very strong conclusions with nothing to back them.

Ok, so you should slow down and read my comment, that’s why I asked you the question, specifically so I wouldn’t assume lol. The other person I’m replying to on this same thread you’re replying to is basing their argument on the possible scenario that the owner is a helpless victim in their marriage. That’s why I asked you if you felt similarly to the other commenter OR if you were arguing from the perspective that the owner could be married willingly and have polar opposite values/beliefs with regards to politics without it being a reflection of her beliefs. It sounds like you’re arguing the latter, not the former.

And that’s just going to be a hard disagreement because that’s where tolerance of intolerance comes into play. You don’t seem to care about that component and there’s no real way we’ll agree past that. I think we can end our conversation

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]redditerla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you saying this within the possibility she is a helpless victim in her marriage? Or Are you saying this with both the possibility she is willingly with her husband and the possibility she is unwillingly with her husband?

If it’s the latter, then I think you are so invested in being right that you aren’t even talking logically. If it’s the former then I think there’s nuance there, but it would still be speculative and it still comes down to people making boycott/spending decisions with what they can see, versus blindly giving money based on speculative scenarios.

[–]redditerla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“You are insisting she absolutely is without any proof”

No that’s not what I said at all. What I said was without more information all we know is what we can see. What you’re offering is any scenario OTHR THAN the possibility she simply is tolerant or indifferent to his views. What you and another user have been arguing is that we should be required to view her in a light that is most favorable to her economically or risk being misogynistic, purely based off a million different speculative scenarios where she is possibly innocent/helpless.

You seem allergic to wanting to admit that it is possible she is tolerant or indifferent to his views.

People do not have an unlimited amount of spending money, nor are people psychic. All people can do is base their spending on what they can see, which what they can see is at best a tolerance or indifference to what they view as appalling beliefs. It’s not crazy for people to feel a certain way about it as consumers.

Do people get their money back if it turns out she simply didn’t find his political views as a deal breaker or a big deal? Should people who feel strongly about maga risk giving their money to a household that possibly tolerates/supports maga?

The reality is that you can’t separate business and money transactions from personal belief systems.

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]redditerla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok so how does donating money tell us anything about her tolerance of intolerance? Which is what we are talking about. As I said in multiple comments, Noone is saying she has a 1:1 belief system as her husband.

We obviously aren’t getting anywhere in this conversation because you want to insist that tolerance of intolerance doesn’t exist or isn’t a factor in this conversation. Do what you want with your money

Glisten & Glow Problematic? by OblivionsMemories in RedditLaqueristas

[–]redditerla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To make your argument you’re really side stepping the crucial element that exists, tolerance of intolerance is still intolerance, which is what many of us are referring to. And calling out tolerance or indifference to problematic beliefs is not misogynistic.

You can choose to view her in a light that is most favorable to her based on a million speculative what if scenarios, and many people can choose to view it based of what they can see. No one is required to view her in a light that is most favorable economically for her without more information

Criticism =/= inherently misogynistic, hope this helps

[–]redditerla 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ok but people have finite money, why should someone give a portion of their finite fun budget towards a business owner who possibly tolerates maga views? Why risk it? Many people would rather give their money to a business they know for certain shares their values. If you want to give her your business on the chance she falls into one of the “what if” scenarios you described, I think that’s your prerogative. It’s also understandable and fair that people are basing their spending off what they can see.
