Playing around with some new nail stickers I got!

I'm obsessed with Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails in the color "Cold as Ice" to give a little pearly finish to my classic French nails. It's been discontinued, and my bottle is almost empty. Can you awesome people help me find a replacement?

My sister gave me the Xtreme Wear in the color "On Cloud Shine" but it's more pink with a cool-toned shimmer. Cold as Ice is a peachy color with a warm-toned shimmer.

The perfect replacement would be a sheer polish with a peach or light golden color and a warm shimmer.

Question for my fellow Canadian Lacqueristas: I am desperate to get my hands on ILNP's Overcast collection from a few years ago, and there's no way I'm paying the duties to order direct. I've been waiting for the polishes to come back in stock on the Harlow & Co. site, and today they did! But only 3 of them have been restocked.

My question is, should I go ahead and order the 3 or wait for the others to come back in stock? Is there anyone who is familiar with Harlow & Co. and can tell me whether they normally restock full collections? I've tried to contact their customer service, but haven't gotten a reply in weeks.

products used: Trend it up ridge filler, 2x Kbshimmer Dead ringer, Catrice quick dry tc

En celebration of having my claws back, I thought this polish I got ahold of would be PERFECTLY witchy. Finally got my hands on Lynb Designs 'Toad You So"!! I'm a sucker for a good "prugly" polish. Any suggestions for polishes with a similar vibe?? I know this is an "ugly " bike/poopy brown but it looks so good with my medium skin tone.

Would love to hear recommendations for a product or system that can deliver solid wear for a week without making my nails look bumpy! I just tried CNZ Vinylux, and while the shine today (Day 1) looks great, the ridges on my nails are really super visible. Like, REALLY visible 😅.

I love the look of gel but don’t want to get sucked back into that cycle, so please please share your suggestions if you know of a polish/collection that can deliver smooth shine for several days without chipping and driving me crazy.

I was able to transfer foil with clear jelly stamping, but after I topped it off, the whole foil effect disappeared. I used maniology smudge free top coat. Does anyone have any tips that’s able to stop this from happening, or should I not top coat foils?

I couldn't get a good shot of how glowy it is in the regular indoor lighting but it's wild! The third slide is fairly close though.

Not really looking for a dupe, but no other flair fit.

I’ve been dreaming for years about a black gelly polish with red glitter in it. Got close once with a polish I can’t remember the name of, but it had a really weird texture and didn’t last. Anyone have any ideas or recs?

I’d prefer if it wasn’t magnetic or anything like that.

I ordered some swatch sticks on Amazon, and am so frustrated because I switched every single polish in my collection, let them dry completely, and then used the Essie gel setter topcoat on all of them. Once those fully dried, pretty much every one is now ruined because they’re not glossy and for some reason, have a frosty matte finish when that’s not how the finish is normally. Can anyone let me know why this is happening?

Ever since I started doing my nail polish about a year and a half ago, my nails look and feel a lot thinner. I am mostly using mooncat (nongel) polish (base coat paint coat 1-3 layers, then top coat). I do my nails every couple of weeks. I got a non acetone remover from publix or sally (https://www.sallybeauty.com/nails/shop-all-nails/non-acetone-nail-polish-remover-16-oz/SBS-019497.html?srsltid=AU7gw4UiCiybiS4VkeR-TPYg_0gOi1bWEk1ItwkeeBMiV2WvdXyrSvRq), but sometimes it hurts when I use it.

Can anyone recommend how to get my nails back to being thicker now, and what removers to use, or avoid?

Thanks!

Sorry for the second and third pictures I didn’t have proper pictures of the manicures from back then.

Reminiscing some old gel manicures I’ve had. Back when I was studying abroad and met a good gel nail tech I went to regularly, my natural nails were able to grow quite long and strong. But when I moved back to my hometown, I trusted the wrong nail tech and got my natural nails destroyed, they were drilled down to ruins during removal, now my nails are weak and thin.

I had to stop any gel manicures completely as they kept cracking. I have to keep cutting and trimming my nails now until the damaged parts are all grown and gone.

While now I’ve fallen in love with doing my nails weekly/biweekly by myself at home with regular polishes (it’s like a relaxing routine now and I get to change my nails often instead of being stuck with the same manicure for 3-4 weeks), I still miss the length and the feeling of long nails.

I don’t want to do extensions to prevent further damages either, here’s to healing my natural nails one day and getting the length back.

I love the look of basically all Resistance Polish, but I can't afford the free shipping minimum rn and shipping to the US ($40) just isn't in my budget either.

I am looking for dupes of Gold, Green, and Everything in Between and May the Olive Groves Thrive, with a preference for US-based companies.

I am also open to general suggestions for the BEST green polishes, particularly if they are a bit witchy/swampy/mossy. I am currently wearing Emily De Molly - Forest Floor and I can't get enough of it.
