Hi! I recently went back to gel x after using hard gel for a while. I'm using different products, but I keep finding that my tips (Apres) are coming off of my extend gel (using Light Elegance jimmy gel due to a newly developed a11ergy). The gel stays on my nail and it's great! But it won't stick to the tip for some reason, my tip comes off clean. I'm etching the inside of my tip with my sanding band (180 grit) before I put it on. Should I be chemically etching it instead or using something else inside the tip like LE tack (I have it but haven't used it)??

Literally what the fuck is going on. I've seen an uptick of this in the past month, more than I ever have in my entire career (a decade). At my salon we have a primarily older clientele. These people keep coming in post-surgery (a lot of them get melanomas removed or just other things) and come in with open wounds and demand services. These wounds are open, sometimes oozing, and sometimes still have stitches in. I even had a lady come in that was actively bleeding. When I, or other stylists tell them we can't touch them, they insist we can. Like no the fuck we cannot (AND WE DO NOT WANT TO). What the fuck is wrong with you?! You do not need a haircut while you have an open wound and I'm not touching you with one! Get out!!! And they have the audacity to yell at us and get mad at US. OMG. This is so gross.

Every time I go to buy a purse all I see are ita bags. Please show me your bags!!! Also what are some decent brands that have some nice quality medium sized bags? Everything either seems small or huge.

Hi everyone! Is there any idol yuri where both involved are adults? I don't care if it's idol x idol, idol x fan, idol x manager, etc. I would prefer it if it's not super toxic between the two, but it's okay if it gets dark in terms of subject matter or whatever. I just want adult women!!

Buying Sakura Hime by Arina Tanemura volumes 4-12, preferably in a set. I will consider buying them separately but I don't want random disjointed volumes, I'm currently reading it 🥹

What title says. This website is such a joke. I was ghostbanned for 4 days, finally was released from it, and less than 24 hours later got hit again. Lmao what the hell they really don't want you interacting with people. I only replied to a few people, who all replied back to me and interacted with me, and my account got silenced again. Why even bother using X anymore.

How do you guys navigate this? I tried to do a dumbbell workout with 8lb weights today and I have a headache just from that. I was also insanely fatigued afterwards. How am I supposed to build muscle if I struggle to do this 😭

For the record, I adore cardio and go on walks almost daily and it doesn't aggravate my symptoms at all and neither does swimming which I also do very often. But I would like to build muscle and get more lean but this is really rough!!

Looking for the Kitchen Princess omnibus 3 & 4!

As I'm looking through options for my first Lolita piece, I'm seeing that a lot of them have pretty heavy ruching in the back. Because of this, a lot of size charts actually show that I would fit into sizes smaller than I'm used to. Is this normal? For example I'm usually an XL/1X, but I'm finding that some size charts are showing I'd be able to fit into an L. My bust is 43-44 inches. Some size charts even overlap. Should I size up in this case?

Is anyone going to Otakufest? Do you guys know when they usually post the event schedule? It's my first year going and they have a few things announced but no times out for anything yet.

Hi guys! Does anyone have any inspo pics for places where it's really hot? It hits 90°F easily where I live. I see a LOT of long sleeves and knee high or thigh high socks and I would absolutely melt in those 💔

I made a list but I can't add more than 117 members to it. I thought lists could have a thousand members? Every time I go to add more accounts it just doesn't add.

My(29F) friend(26NB) keeps coming to me with some benign problems or some minor bullshit, constantly complaining, and to be honest, I can't take it anymore. We have been friends for 5 years. For context, we are online friends but have met in person.

I am not one to complain frequently, and when I do complain I keep it short and will probably find a solution if I have a problem. I had a really hard time growing up and would wallow in my misery, and to be honest a lot of my misery was self inflicted. Now as an adult I have learned to endure, and have learned that not everything is forever and not everything is worth complaining about since it usually won't last very long anyway. It's not worth putting out into the world and burdening another person with a complaint. My friend, on the other hand, always has something. "My back hurts" "I'm so tired"(I get this text about four times a day, and I ignore it every time) "my head hurts" "I slept so badly". I can't do this anymore. It's ALWAYS something. If they come to me with a problem and I offer a solution it is NEVER taken and then they inevitably complain about it again at another point. I'm tired. I don't want to offer empathy or compassion. I don't want to hear it. Please help me. I want to tell them to suck it up and quit complaining and being miserable because it makes them absolutely insufferable to speak to but I don't know how to do it kindly. How do I approach this??? I can't do it anymore!!

Not sure if this is a weird question but what are some decent anime stores in Miami? I'm looking to find some places that have up-to-date and trending merchandise, not places that have browning boxes with knock off figures from 2008, please.

Also just general nerdy stores, I know of a few kpop stores in the area. I'd love to be put on some general SFL otaku communities honestly.
