Manic Panic isn't being very punk right now.

Australian cosmetics creator Fanny Barlow and Puerto Rican based beauty company Necromancy Cosmetica have both been hit by a cease and desist from Manic Panic over the use of "Deadly Nightshade" as a shade name, claiming trademark. Fanny refuses to stop, but Necromancy Cosmetica did one even better, posting two videos on Facebook about the situation, and then renaming the shade to "Cease and Deceased." I'm very curious if anyone else has gotten a letter, namely Mooncat Polish with their last collection having a shade called "Deadly Nightshade." Very curious to watch this unfold.

Mani #3 Aurora

Not 100% sure about the combo of Aurora Borialis by Fancy Fingers Dip and a green/pink pearl powder over top. I think it would make a better backdrop for some nail art, which i didn't have time for, than by itself.

Is this little sprout what I think it is?

It looks like utricularia to me, but I have no idea where it could have come from! I set that planter up over a year ago, and the leaf prop in the picture came from tissue culture pings, so I am extremely confused as to it's current occupation of my pingdom. Anyone have any insight? Is it utricularia?

Just set up my office tank!

Substrate is mix of Josh's Frogs Desert bioactive and Zilla desert sand, with a layer of LECA on the bottom to pad the glass and to wick away moisture. 50w basking light for the left side. I keep tarantulas, so other than those things, I had everything else on hand. Now to wait for my baby blueberries to arrive!

First set thanks to yalls recommendations!

This is even with my non-dominant hand! Liquids are Virgo and Gem, powder is also V&G in Witches Brew

I am (finally) in a job that allows me to keep up with some nail length, and it's been fabulous. I've been using up some leftover builder gel for strength, but I keep getting recommended yalls lovely community, and I think I'd like to try and switch. I've got carts built with both Virgo and Gem and CnDD with essential liquid sets (I've got prep and primer already due to the gel,) and a few colors and clear powder. Roughly same price. So, onto the q&a portion.

Out of either, which do you prefer and why?

And for the ex-gel girlies- How do you find working with powder compared to gel products?

Yall are the best!!! 💅💅💜💜
