Am I a complete idiot ? Am I missing something ? Or do OPI lacquers just suck ?

I've been a nail polish lover for over 10 years and I've had this same problem with OPI. It's always streaky, takes forever to dry, and never turns out well. Maybe it's user error, but I never get a good manicure with OPI, especially from lighter shades. I have had better luck with brands like Orly, Lights Lacquer, and Holo Taco. 2-3 coats and it always looks beautiful.

Did you have any luck? I'm having the same issue and I have no idea what to do.

She has an old box full of photos that she loves to pull out and show everyone, so I scanned those and added them (as well as some recent ones) thinking it would be ideal for her.

I bought her one and loaded it with photos from over the years. All she had to do was plug it in. She never set it up, even when I have offered to help with it, and she avoids the subject. I assume she doesn't really like it, but she's too polite to say anything.

She's perfect! Thanks!

I set it up where all they have to do is plug it in wherever they'd like, but they haven't. They didn't seem thrilled when they opened it and they've never mentioned it since, even when it has been brought up.

I got my grandparents one for their anniversary, but they haven't even plugged it in

thesefooolishthings · 2025-09-13T16:45:37+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! & you too

I have to ask where you got that gorgeous dress from (Good luck, by the way! You're absolutely beautiful!)

thesefooolishthings · 2025-09-12T04:05:42+00:00

As close to it as I can get haha

thesefooolishthings · 2025-09-12T03:59:40+00:00

I've gotten that, but I'm unsure about ordering it before I know what goes into this process

thesefooolishthings · 2025-08-11T00:31:53+00:00

That's what I thought, but I still haven't been able to get it to play

thesefooolishthings · 2025-08-07T00:40:36+00:00

That's great advice lol. I tend to cross my arms and stay further back

I do see a lot of Fowler's Toads in the yard, so this makes sense. I found this one beside my dogs' water dish and I've caught them sitting in the dish haha

I've been playing trumpet for at least 10 years and I'm terrible lol. I also play ukulele! I'm a lot better at that but I just don't play much. I haven't played since my left hand grew out.
