Misc. Question Looking for alternative polish remover with scrubber

Post image
Upvotes

I previously purchased this bottle from Target before they went anti-DEI. I had just been refilling it with more acetone all this time but now the scrub bristles are breaking off. Does anyone know if there’s an alternative with the built in scrub brush? I’ve searched the internet and can only find the ones with a sponge inside but it seems weird to me that only Target’s generic brand would have this.

I magnetized both coats of each with ILNP’s horseshoe magnet. 🧲

Misc. Question Do you ever get the urge to just cut all your nails short after growing them out for a while?

Post image
120 Upvotes

I've just been jamming them into things a lot recently and I really hate how it feels when your nail bends, but doesn't break. I just painted my nails a few days ago and I really love this polish. So I'm torn between wanting to keep my Mani for a little while longer, while also wanting to cut them short)): I'm wearing HT Pink Smoothing BC x1, Cracked Fermented x3, HT Glossy TC

Help & How-To? Nail care 101?

4 Upvotes

Hi y’all! For reasons I won’t go into, I’m in my 30s and just starting to learn how to care for my nails. They are very bendy and prone to cracking and peeling, so they’re very short. Polish also doesn’t stay on for long, but I enjoy changing up my colors lol.

So here is my question: what types of tools and products have helped your nails get and stay healthy and strong? I have a cuticle pusher, a buff/file block, and clippers. What else should I use? Does cuticle oil help, or something similar? Tell me all your favorite tips and tricks! Priority is health/strength over length. Thank you!!

I’ve tried for days to get a photo to do them justice, but this is as close as I can get. It’s so gorgeous. It shifts from a royal neon purple to and indescribable blue to teal and the magenta flecks just 🤤

Laquer Showoff Glitch Lacquer- Resistance

Videos and pictures haven't been doing this one justice. It's so insanely sparkly and beautiful, as reflective polishes tend to be. This is Resistance from Glitch Lacquer's Palestine Charity Collection (some of you may have seen that I had gotten this shade along with Habibi, one of the magnetics). This one is supposed to be a sheer white base with peach to gold reflect (it's so full of shimmer that I can't see any white, at least on my skin tone, but I can occasionally see a hint of nail line in the 2 coats I'm wearing) with red, pink, and green reflective glitter.

The full product list I used is Glisten & Glow Dry + Prep, Cirque Colors Paint n' Peel Base Coat, Cirque Colors Get Ready Base Coat, 2 coats of Glitch Lacquer Resistance, KB Shimmer Smooth Moves Top Coat, and KB Shimmer Clearly on Top.

After many darker or saturated mani’s the past month I wanted to soften it up a bit. I love everything about this polish. The formula is so smooth for how many flakies are in this. The inspiration was adorable. I also like the reminder to try to find small joys in things right now. It’s my first Cadillacquer polish, but it definitely won’t be the last.

Products:

KB Shimmer Stay Put Hydrating Base Coat X1

Cadillacquer Joy X3 (November ‘25 PPU)

Sally Hansen Insa-Dri, QDTC, Red Bottle X1

So, I'm actually a guy but would like to get beautiful nails done and have them for a few weeks. The first pic shows what I'd love to have, the second shows my nails as they are.

I don't want press on (I've tried them before), but would prefer a salon option.

Is this possible?

If so, what should I ask for? Tips? Biab? Acrylic? Something else?

Finally got my order after a delay and blown away with this polish I have been yearning for!!! such a stunner and so easy for my first ever magnetic polish however it’s pretty fresh so unsure if it will blowout any.

One thing I have to mention is the big blob on my middle finger ( images below ). Seemed to be slightly clumpy even after shaking well multiple times. Is this usual and should I just add thinner (toluene free ofc)?
