(Part 2) Best products from r/redditpolish

Creative Fantasy is $4.58, Sunday Funday is $4.68, Surreal Appeal is $5, and Whirled Away is $5.12.

Now for why I think these are awesome. Creative Fantasy is an amazing purple. And I looooooooove anything and everything purple. It's kinda neon, but not quite, which is perfect for me and my love hate relationship with neons haha. Sunday Funday is an amazing looking blue. I hate blue polish, but I still want this! It's so bright! I mostly want Surreal Appeal because I have a grand total of 0 corals. I have like 2 pinks and a neon orange so I can't even make my own coral if I wanted to. I want to try Whirled Away because I have never tried a bar glitter before, and I know some people love them but others hate them. I also only have silver glitter polishes so this would be a nice change :)

• i think china glaze lemon fizz and china glaze peachy keen would go well together!
  
• I don't own any of the same colors as you. The CG lemon fizz is definitely my favorite because i've been looking for a yellow like that for a while now. my favorite OPI is bubble bath because i really like nudes. I think I have CG lemon fizz, OPI alpine snow, and essie angora cardi on my wishlist. i didn't see any butter london on that board, so i'm gonna go ahead and say you need to try one! here's one that's on my own wishlist (one of many.. haha)
  
• my favorite mani on your inspiration board is this one
  
• this mani is cute and i don't think i saw anything like it on your inspiration board
  
• i've always loved this idea just never actually done it myself!

Hello! First of all, welcome. We have another wonderful trans girl, /u/Sweet_Baby_Ashley, hopefully you two can connect and become friends!
I have a few suggestions for you. First of all, practise makes perfect! So with things like brushing off the excess on the inside of the bottle, you just need to keep working in it. Some polishes are goopier or don't work well - make sure you aren't buying the cheapest stuff you can find, because formula might be a big part of your problem!

This might also be why you are having issues with it drying between coats. Although, I will say, there is a certain pressure - or lack of- that has to be used to apply polish back over pre-applied layers. I still have issues with it catching sometimes and I have a nail blog, so once again, practice!

Fast drying top coat. Without my seche vite, I would be lost! Out the door works well also, but there are a bunch on the market to choose from. If you do use something like seche, "wrapping the tips" will help with tip wear and shrinking. That just means applying the top coat to the tips of your nails as well as the top.

Here is a video I found on how to apply- but if you look on youtube there are hundreds of tutorials, so don't feel bad! People do need help learning. I got my cosmetology license a few years ago, so that's when I learned.

I hope this helped even a little. Looking forward to seeing you around!

I nominate /u/MommyDiDi She's like a polishing fairy godmother. I've seen a few of the packages she's sent to people. They are adorable and thoughtful, and she deserves a gift of her own :)

She needs this off her WL so she can be ready for spring! She could also use some nail art brushes. The ones on her WL don't ship to canada but I believe these ones do at least I hope XD.

I'm in love with this shade of blue

This mani is easy to do. I just folloed this tutorial then made the little white swirl with a nail art brush. and popped on a little rhinestone.

we all deserve a little polish!

4. I CANNOT eat coleslaw. It makes me physically ill thanks to my kindergarten teacher forcing me to eat it and me then throwing it up.

10. My favorite polish...that's a hard one. I have so many. I adore my VHTFs. So my Cult Nails Clairvoyant and my Clarins 230. Also my OPI Jasper Jade as it's one my mom bought me. But there are a ton of others I love as well.
    
    Nubar "Raspberry Truffle" is a polish that just recently caught my eye. It would be $5.24 with shipping.

this is only $5.00 if bought from ultimate beauty supply. I love love love the tranzition line :) it just makes me happy :)

9. I really want to work in the television industry. My dream job is to be a reality television producer. It would be so fucking fun.
   
10. Uhhh........My stomach really hurts right now for no particular reason.
    
    Polish of choice is Harvest Moon by China Glaze! I only need two more of the Hunger Games polishs and then my collection is complete! So this would get me halfway there XD

Welcome, Shannon!! Baking is my passion, too! Today is my dad's birthday and I just finished an Oreo poke cake! It's cooling in the fridge now and I'm going to make a cream cheese/whipped cream frosting with some crushed Oreos in it and on top. Yessssss!! Oh! And I made hot fudge from scratch to go with it. De-freaking-licioussss!! I stalked your comments below and I can't believe I never thought to look for /r/Baking !! I just subbed! Those mini cheesecakes are ADORABLE!! And I totally just pinned the cookie cup recipe! I made my boyfriend a big sandwich last night! Lmfao. That's a funny sentence to read just on its own. But it's true! Colby and American cheeses, buffalo chicken, and salami with lettuce, dijon mustard, and mayo. And tater tots!! I would love to learn watercolor painting! Show us a picture of your latest works? This is such a cool idea for a contest! Side note: question 3 is toatally unfair because I would always be upset! =P lol. Okay, here are my 4:

Poor Unfortunate Souls

Neon-O-Rama

Freckles

That's Shore Bright

I can't find this in the Sally's near me, it's close to $5, but I understand if $6 is too much.

My favorite cottage food is definitely cottage cheese!!! Haha, well I really don't know what cottage food is so there's my attempt! XD

Welcome! We're happy to have you here! :)

I'm like you and love bright colors but I recently found this color. Now it doesn't look as pink as the picture. I didn't use it for a French mani. Here's what it looked like on my nails. I really liked how it turned out. And that was after 4 days of wearing it.

What is your favorite brand of polish?

Well... I'm just starting to get into Kleancolor polishes. I've never tried them, though I do have a few on the way. I love all the different glitters and how inexpensive they are! That being said, I have fallen in love with Aurora. I love the sparkles and stars!! And it really looks gorgeous over dark purple!

Thanks for hosting!!

I have been wanting Sally Hansen Navy Baby for SO LONG because Polish All the Nails uses it as undies for her handplaced glitter manis all the time and it looks BEAUTIFUL!

I am on a fruit binge right now because I have eaten way too much fast food in the past couple of days because it's been SO HOT and I don't want to do anything! Raspberries are my FAVORITE. My mom and I recently made our own homemade popsicles that were totally delicious and perfect in the heat! We did blueberry & raspberry and strawberry banana as well.

    Thanks for the contest! :)

1. I nominate /u/schist4granite because she is very nice! She seems to always try to comment on everyone's posts!

I could definitely use this base coat, I'm totally out and my manis are chipping so quickly! I haven't used this one yet but Orly has great products so I figure it's gotta be at least ok :-D I'd prefer Orly Bonder but it's a bit over budget so it'll have to wait.

(On this wishlist <3)
