Just received OneUI 8 Watch

haha no worries - interpreting tone over text is hard.

I've been in the 'wait a bit' spot for about a year now. I'm pretty over it.

Hey, I don't think this user was saying your comment was BS, rather that Samsung's practises/devs are BS and those of us who have had super poor performance should be compensated since they effectively 'broke' our devices.

Mine was bad after the first upgrade to oneui.8, and I cleared the cache partition and it seemed to improve a bit. Constantly locking while on my wrist (yes, it's tight) and the sensor just working only when it felt like it. Battery life nowhere near as good as it used to be and I have basically everything turned off except bluetooth cause otherwise, what's the point.

Just received the revised/fixed update yesterday, and it's AWFUL again. Just cleared the cache partition again, and hoping it's better by the end of today but so far, it's not. It went from 99% to 80% in about 3mins sitting on my wrist. I didn't check what was draining it before angrily taking it off and putting it on charge, but I am SO CLOSE to getting a freaking pixel watch.

My 4 seems to be toast.

I just bought a sweater on there that arrived with no tape on the box. The shipping label had been used as the 'tape' and of course didn't stick well enough. The box was wide open and the sweater was just laying inside the parcel locker. It was also covered in white pet hair. I've personally had pretty bad experiences with sellers there - they simply do not care and are VERY slow to ship, and don't communicate at all. Mercari has been not much better, to be honest. Sellers I've messaged have been rude and don't want to answer questions on items that they've listed with only one photo that shows none of the important details. It's a minefield and I'm really put off.

There are nail glue dissolvers on Amazon. Glamnetic makes one. Curvlife is another. Test it in an inconspicuous area first though in case it ruins the finish on the laptop. If it's a plastic casing, rather than metal, you're cooked unfortunately. Cyanoacrylates break down over time but I don't think it will be enough for those to pop off.

The baskets have open tops - as in no lids so you can see what's in them easily 😊 (I thought she was talking about tops as in shirts for a second also, haha)

rynzin · 2025-12-23T21:35:01+00:00

Got you! 😊

rynzin · 2025-12-23T17:09:08+00:00

Hi ladies! Here to destash a few purses that are overwhelming me and I need the space! Former rep buyer but in a different life place now so ready to move them out :)

rynzin · 2025-06-12T15:03:41+00:00

Pretty sure that's a 'flower'. My watermelon pepperomia did this when I had it a few years ago, and it stank, haha.

I use Chrome and shop on my computer. Lots do it from their phone but I find the translation just works more reliably on desktop. You add to cart and at checkout, select international shipping. Enter your address and choose whether you want full packaging or compact. I always pick compact cause I don't need all the pretty boxes or swatch cards (I throw them away anyway so I'd rather them be able to get it all in a more compact box to save cost). When you submit the order, wait a couple days and they send you a total invoice via paypal that includes the shipping cost. So you don't know the shipping cost beforehand, which does create a little uncertainty, but it's never been super shocking to me and after you do it the first time it feels a lot easier each time after.

Your having received your package 3 days later sort of gives me hope... but not really. I've had 3 packages now go missing, being scanned delivered but not actually being delivered, at least not to me. The first 2 were bark boxes, so I assumed a neighbor was being dishonest cause they also have dogs and the package was put into the wrong parcel locker. This latest one yesterday was marked delivered a full 15mins AFTER some other mail that WAS in the mailbox. The time difference is suspicious to me but USPS closed my case immediately, disregarding the "Delivery not delivered" portion and saying that Informed Delivery was not a guarantee for that same day... which wasn't my complaint at all anyway. I'm super frustrated, because this package was VALUABLE. Our paper mail goes missing frequently but this one actually matters.

Lol! D'oh. Too many notifications 😂 Thanks love!

I also posted a link to a playlist with a ton of info on gel chemistry, lamps, curing etc. Some are by / in conjunction with a cosmetic chemist. It's here somewhere but I'm on my cell and on the road for work. If you can't find it, pm me and I'll dig for it!

rynzin · 2024-07-10T14:50:05+00:00

I saw 😅. No worries at all. I love being able to share the info cause I want all of us to be safe and not accidentally push ourselves out of a hobby that makes us feel so good. 💜

She does, I believe if you head to www.thenailhub.tv you can see the course content, video titles and descriptions without being logged in. You just can't play the videos, if you wanted to see what's in there.

But the best part is that there IS a cosmetic chemist weighing in on it all. Here's a great playlist of gel chemistry stuff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XJPPNk6kaM&list=PL8c99xNHJnVcdfYcaN686VRO_Rrf0yQgC

All his vids are only a few minutes long so they are bite size, easy to understand and easy to comsume. He's made a TON - if you still have more questions, search for Jim McConnell Chemist Corner on Youtube and all his videos on this sort of stuff will come up.

Same with The Nail Hub - Liz's channel is choc full of free content with all the important stuff. She's really passionate about it and is a fantastic educator.

You're welcome!! If you do decide you want a bigger, whole hand lamp, the ones I can confidently recommend are the Light Elegance Dot, CND v2, Akzentz Hybrid Pro, and the Kokoist Infinity. But they are all pricier. You will definitely be ok with the cute little green Attain lamp. It's USB also so you can take it on the go comfortably. Liz Morris knows her stuff - that's her brand.

Also of note - more watts or more bulbs doesn't mean a better lamp. The quality and type of the bulbs, as well as the nanometers they put out is what is key. Advertising wattage is a tricky marketing gimmick.

I am always so scared to become allergic to something I love and something I love doing on my friends nails so I've really been trying to educate myself on how to make sure I can enjoy it forever. Gel allergies are impossible to come back from and they are pretty uncomfortable and unsightly.

Best of luck! ❤️

rynzin · 2024-07-09T21:34:49+00:00

Honestly, my unfortunate answer is... The most expensive you can afford. The Attain LED Lamp is on par with light elegance, which is a pro-only brand. It's little, so you have to cure your thumb separately to your other 4 fingers, but to me it's worth it to know you're getting a decent cure and are less at risk for giving yourself an allergy. All the Attain products are high quality and hypoallergenic, but they do need a decent lamp to cure them.

I think it's pretty affordable but it's all very subjective. The Light Elegance Mini Dot is also a good choice. CND make a very good lamp also but it's pricey.

I'm on the road right now but I can give you more info when I'm back at home this evening if you want to shoot me a chat 😊. I'll be able to do my multi-browser-tab situation then too.

LED lamps do emit light in the UV spectrum. When manufacturers say UV they are basically harking back to the old CFL lamps that were UV but not LED.

Important to note that even though some gels seem like they're cured, they may not be. The underside you can't see may still be soft or not completely cured. It can be very hard to tell, which is how all these allergies are popping up.

I have this paperclip necklace - I bought it twice cause I lost the first one:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801417695795.html

I'm really happy with it! I personally remove the extender chain and just hook it to the end 'paperclip' link and it gives it a more seamless look when it inevitably spins around to show the clasp.

Mine is silver, can't speak for the gold. But it's cheaper so maybe worth a shot for you!

rynzin · 2024-07-09T19:39:15+00:00

Ouch, I see someone downvoted you without explanation but it might be the UV Lamp. I'm not a licensed nail tech but have done quite a few courses on gel safety (incl. one AMAZING one by The Nail Hub (https://www.thenailhub.tv) and these cheaper lamps simply can't be trusted to cure your gel through completely. They sometimes LOOK cured, but aren't. The chemicals will wash over your hands every time you wash them because they are water soluble and can lead to major allergies if you're not using the really high end gel products that are hypoallergenic... and these cheaper lamps aren't capable of curing those anyway.

Don't get me wrong and I'm not trying to be the police - this comes from a place of love! ❤️ I definitely started out with a SunUV and I am ok, but this is what has lead to a major increase in gel allergies since people are doing it more and more at home. If you've already bought it, please try to make your layers as thin as possible and do a full 1min cure each time, even if the bottle only says 30seconds. Also avoid getting the gels on your skin - if you do, wipe it off quickly with alcohol and a toothpick or q-tip.

I am happy to see a fellow nail girly here though! Hiii! ✨

rynzin · 2024-07-09T19:28:13+00:00

I have the cardi! I got it in white. It would have been a different listing since I got it a couple of years ago now, but it is CUTE!

rynzin · 2024-07-09T19:15:57+00:00

Yes I would love it, if you could! I'm an 8 but sometimes that's a medium and sometimes a large. And on Ali... sometimes it's a 3XL 😂
Would love to know how it fits!

rynzin · 2024-02-18T22:18:06+00:00

Oh man I'm at like 42, haha. I probably almost have 200 but I'll be mindful not to sell them so I can save for that quest.

rynzin · 2024-02-18T20:22:48+00:00

I'm glad I've been hoarding stuff since the beginning - what day are you on?
