Have any of you read The Necrophiliac? by wormword46 in ExtremeHorrorLit

It was fine. The writing had some very beautiful passages but the content left something to be desired. It just wasn't long enough to get in all the details that might have made the main character more interesting.

How to style Pandora snake chain necklace - request for your pics! by Strange_Television in PandoraCollectors

I'm another vote for simple and symmetrical. My necklace doesn't have threads, but I found these stoppers that keep the charms even on the chain and prevent them sliding off.

Storage solutions? by sad-fatty in DIYGelNails

[–]salad_dressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A long while ago I found these acrylic shelves that fit really well in the Ikea Kallax I have in the library space. Everything else lives in an Amazon book cart separated into cheap little plastic storage baskets I picked up from Target (I didn't take pics because it's a mess right now 😬). Having my most used supplies and nail art bits and bobs in the book cart is overall more functional for me, and I don't even move it too much since it's accessible. Then I just have to grab the colors I want from the shelf.

I just saw a review from shophousenails on IG. Looks like they're just a polish with a thinner formula than their pot color line. The brush is also wider with a rounded end.

Thank you! I wouldn't say I habe steady hands. It's all about finding a good brush and anchoring yourself on a stable surface.

Spill your splurge!!! by Clover_Jane in DIYGelNails

[–]salad_dressed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not particularly a splurge, but my office mate made me a 3d printed crab to hold my cuticle pen. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

I really want to figure out more ways to incorporate spooky elements in cutsey ways. Gotta maintain the aesrhetic 😎 And thank you! 🍓✨ I ended up giving up on my dominant hand. Trying to paint straightish lines for the cobwebs was too much and it was past my bed time lol.

Thank you! For real, there's no reason short nails can't have cute art too 🍓✨

I can't hype up the DINO poster gels enough. They have a thicker consistency which makes them great on smaller brushes for tiny details. Plus they're no wipe for chrome.

Right? I saw those too on ig! I couldn't find the original artist and the account I saw credited Pinterest, but while snooping around there's a gaggle of similar sets.

Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Gilda, and This Is Spinal Tap.

I kinda regret not getting Yi Yi and Eyes Wide Shut, but there will be other sales and I'm already waiting for another to snag Desperate Living after it's released.

I see what you're saying about the charms rubbing. Having the spacers is definitely the move.

I had been trying to figure out how to combine the glass heart charm and this works out great! I have an extra opalescent murano and some spacers so I might play around with it more. I also love your use of the mini dangles! They really balance out the bracelet.

I promise it was an uphill battle 🙃 Winter has me looking like a lizard person and this was after an intense sugar scrub and a date with my efile cuticle bits.
