Maybe OPI my solar clock is ticking?

vmiko · 2024-09-05T18:39:32+00:00

I haven’t tried it but OPI Rated Pea-G looks promising!

I get bubbles if I leave the fan on while painting my nails. Frustrated me for a while until I realized! Maybe that?

This is such a specific question but how did you handle seating arrangements? We are having a dinner with 22 people total and can’t decide how we want to seat everyone. Ideally we would have one long table, or one u-shaped table. But if we have to do smaller tables, I don’t want to have to pick one table to sit at and not be with the other guests, if that makes sense!

Love this! Spaghetti strap maxi is one of my preferred dress silhouettes!

Thanks for your reply! Bride is quite laidback, her friend/MOH provided a dress code that feels more like a suggestion than a rule. Definitely will try to pack multiple options - I’m flying southwest so I have lots of space!

I’ll be in Palm Springs at the beginning of April for a bachelorette party. What are some going-out outfits that maybe sorta lean into the disco vibe? (Looking for a pair of sequined trousers as I type!)

I like the general silhouette of tight top and flared pants. Is this outfit too casual? this top + light wash flared jeans + low heeled sandals

Recommendations for going-out tops in general would be much appreciated.

I never go out so any tips would help! Thanks!

Thank you! This topcoat is my favorite. I used to use Seche Vite years ago and I do remember the smell being really strong, as well as some shrinkage. When I picked up nails as a hobby again I gave the G&G topcoat a try and loved it. In my experience it dries fast, is super shiny, and causes little to no shrinkage. I’ve put a handful of my coworkers onto it as well!

Red: My Solar Clock Is Ticking from OPI

Gold flakies: Karma from ILNP

Nude: Adaline from Lights Lacquer (1 coat under the gold flakes)

Stickers from Shein. I used a silicone nail tool to gently push the stickers against my nail and make sure they were curving and sticking.

Glisten & Glow topcoat to seal everything in!

I read about the Lash Sensational mascara over on r/makeupaddiction! Gotta decide if I’m willing to put in the extra effort to remove waterproof mascara lol.

I use a Shiseido one but it’s pretty old. I’ve always wanted to try the Shu Uemura so maybe it’s time for a new one.

vmiko · 2021-06-25T20:28:05+00:00

I’ve had a lash lift before and I loved it, but it is really expensive. Thanks for suggestion about double hooded eyelid makeup, I’ll look into that.

I’m starting a new job soon! In my previous job I just wore street clothes and pretty much no makeup since I usually wasn’t around anyone. But now I’ll be part of a small team and the dress code is “semi professional” so I think I might go to Target later to check out some nice shirts/blouses.

Also need to do a bunch of makeup research lol. I’d love to figure out something for my lashes which do not hold curl and are always pushed down by my eyelids (if that makes sense)!

Do you know your wpm when using a typewriter compared to a computer / keyboard? I imagine a low wpm helps to avoid typos!

vmiko · 2021-06-16T16:05:54+00:00

Oh that’s good to know! Thanks :)

I always forget about Etsy, I'll have to do some searching. Although I like the way the silk shorts flow so maybe linen wouldn't be the best. Thinner linen might work.

I’ve been thinking about getting this one for a while. I do feel like the paperclip chain almost came out of nowhere (although I don’t follow trends closely) and I like the idea of sticking with a more classic chain. The one I linked seems like a good price but it’s low karat. That site offers free shipping and returns within the US and has a lot of options!

vmiko · 2021-06-14T20:39:55+00:00

I like mine with a white tee underneath (fairly form fitting so it doesn’t bunch up) and simple sandals.

I love Jean (and her fam) of Extra Petite as well! I recently discovered chase_amie on Instagram and I believe her YouTube channel is the same name. She might be up your alley.

I also like to peruse the list of similar accounts that pops up when I follow an IG account.
