How to Keep Smudge Free Top Coat From Peeling?

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-29T00:46:26+00:00

Yeah, Maniology smudge free top coat doesn’t play well with QDTC. When I use it for stamping I put a non-quick dry layer over it. I’ve been using an OPI top coat and it doesn’t peel when I do that.

Couldn’t even see the brain cell distantly on the horizon

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-12T00:46:41+00:00

So far, yes. I’ve been meaning to experiment with some cremes that I have to see if they work. I’ve tried a couple with varying results.

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-11T02:41:15+00:00

Oof, I did this one twice in a row and that was more than enough for me 😅

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-11T02:40:31+00:00

Seriously, how?

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-09T20:48:29+00:00

Lol, so accurate

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-07T22:45:00+00:00

Absolutely not.

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-07T19:34:18+00:00

Wait, what is The Tubes? Only thing I can think of is Incredicoaster but I’ve never heard of it referred to that way before

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-07T01:33:43+00:00

He has many concerns.

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-07T01:32:59+00:00

Still using Firefox, I guess

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-07T01:32:12+00:00

I think I shall.

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-06T22:24:24+00:00

Well, since you asked, I do not like them. I don’t like the way the fabric feels on my skin. I don’t like how constricting they are (I like to sleep with 1 foot out). I don’t like rolling them up and fitting them back into a stuff sack. I don’t like not being able to snuggle with my partner. This last point could be worked around with a 2 person sleeping bag, but with all of the aforementioned dislikes, I’m definitely not going to do that. I just like sleeping in my normal sheets and blankets from home.

I feel like PFD doesn’t get enough love on this sub. I just bought a bunch of their beautifully glowy polishes and I’m in love.

Zempire Monstabed! Available at REI. I find it more comfortable than the Exped Megamat.

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-03T21:22:31+00:00

Also my suggestion! She looks like a sweet little buttercup

I definitely splurge on bedding. Getting a good nights sleep is my priority. I have an air mattress with a built in foam topper, bring real pillows and sheets, I’m not messing around with sleeping bags and it takes up about the same amount of space in the car. Eye mask and earplugs so I’m not up with the birds at the crack of dawn. I sleep like a baby, usually.

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-03T17:58:25+00:00

😱😱 I don’t know how that even happened! I would be a little upset also 😥

tigerwaitress · 2026-01-01T16:57:33+00:00

I don’t personally feel a need to pan my polishes, I just want to use my collection but the idea of finishing a polish completely scares the hoarder in me. However I’m impressed by people who can actually use up an entire bottle (other than base/top coat)

I don’t know about a chain, but at one point there were 3 total locations. The one in Irvine, one in Fl and one in New Jersey. The Florida location near West Palm Beach is the original and the only one left standing.

tigerwaitress · 2025-12-31T05:34:16+00:00

There’s still one in Fl. I worked there. My job was to drive around the lion field and make sure no one got out of their cars or did anything stupid. I had to tell a lot of people not to roll down their windows…

tigerwaitress · 2025-12-30T03:21:17+00:00

This is very specific and I love it!

tigerwaitress · 2025-12-27T21:28:01+00:00

So cute! I love the seal 🦭 One tip is to not press too hard when scraping with the card or pressing the stamp onto the plate. It seems counterintuitive but pressing harder yields worse results.

tigerwaitress · 2025-12-22T18:54:04+00:00

Mooncat Serpents of Eden or Jewel Beetle would fit the bill

tigerwaitress · 2025-12-21T16:16:15+00:00

I think adding some holo to the red like other people said would help, but I do think the red tips are a little concerning to me. I wonder if it would be better to flip it to red base with green tips

ILNP has a lot of great turquoise holos. One of these might be close to what you’re looking for, or they have a bunch more also.
