One of my favorite magnetics!!! 🩵

I’m celebrating the first anniversary of Uno Mas Colors with one of my favorite polishes from them - Mr. Myers! (Yes, it’s named after that Mr. Myers… 🔪) This magnetic is stunning, easy to work with, and has me marveling at my fingers whenever I wear it. Here it is in two coats. I magnetized the second thicker coat and top coat using my glass bead tool from Nailed It Magnetics.

An extra note about Uno Mas… Back in February, they created a beautiful thermal polish and were looking for a cause to donate proceeds to. I reached out and suggested the Emerge Center Against Domestic Violence, an agency near and dear to my heart that I’ve worked alongside with for many years. When the polish sold out on its launch day, Uno Mas doubled their donation!

In a time where wonderful agencies are losing grant funding left and right simply because they mention gender inclusivity or assist vulnerable immigrant populations, donations like this make all the difference. For that reason, I’ll always be grateful to Uno Mas Colors. To check out Emerge and the incredible work they do, please visit https://emergecenter.org.

Disappointed is an understatement

I saw Bisou Bisou and imagined a dreamy cotton candy ombre. I knew there would be a little purple, but in reality it's a gray purple all the time. My thumb was dipped in ice water for 30 seconds and my pinky in hot water (2 different cups next to each other) and it wouldn't turn blue, only dark purple. I know my nails are short, but usually I'll get a little ombre fade with mooncat. I haven't seen any with this. It's always one color.

Any tea/news on China Glaze?

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...

Are my gel nails fully cured? Please help!

Hi! I am worried that my gel nails are not fully cured. When I press on it, I see a dent BUT the gel goes back to normal after a few seconds and you can’t see the dent anymore. Please see the video and I would appreciate some input thank you!!!
