With the sale coming up, I would absolutely love to get the entire Remedy collection. I love each and every shade!

But just wanted to ask, how long has the shelf life of the thermals been for you all? I have a big collection (maybe about 200 bottles) and would like the thermals to last at least a year. I know YMMV because of the nature of them, but just curious what your experiences have been.

I’ve seen quite a few recs for Fancy Gloss, which I’ve never purchased from, and they don’t restock til the 29th. I’m wondering if it’s worth it to get the Remedy collection or FG’s approximate dupes and potentially miss out on the MC sale.

I have quite a bit of MC, but none of their thermals. I actually only have one thermal polish, and it’s from Cirque (Rothko Red). But I loved the colors of the MC collection….just weighing it against FG’s catalog.

How have yall found the formulas and shelf life of the Remedy collection, and MC’s thermals in general? And compared to Fancy Gloss if you have any of those?

I just painted my nails with China Glaze's Hot Flash and remembered how well the lacquer holds up. I usually get chips within a few hours but this polish has been really solid. I went to China Glaze's website and it seems that they have very few (like 70) on their nail lacquers page, and on the Last Chance page are like 250+ polishes, which seem to be all of their old ones.

I tried to look up any recent videos on China Glaze, but very few nail Youtubers have discussed them, with the exception of Nicole Loves Nails. Does anyone know anything about them? Their social media is still current so it doesn't seem like they're going out of business?

Did they do something problematic that I missed? I know Kelli Marissa stopped reviewing them a couple years back...
