@TraceyEB Sometimes I wonder how products that seem to overall have such poor performance ever make it through production...

@newcarlee @QueenMarceline @redhead1256 To find out for certain about discontinuations, you can contact the brand directly. That’s what I do when I’m not sure a product’s been permanently discontinued or might be relaunching as a reformulation. Some brands are more straightforward with replies than others.

@WhereYouStand Beautiful! I love the shade if your lipstick. It really compliments your eyes!

@Mellmars1185 Staining is inevitable, especially with darker shades (blues and greens in particular, but really, any highly pigmented shade can do it). Many of my nails are a lovely dark yellow, borderline orange shade 😖 You can try doubling up on base coat next time, it might give a bit more of a barrier to help stop some of it. I've also heard that when it comes time for removal, absolutely do not scrub at your polish with your remover...let the remover sit undisturbed until the polish is fully dissolved, then take it all off with one swipe. The theory behind it seems fairly solid...nails are not a solid single block, but rather they are made up of 100+ layers of keratin, little bits and pieces basically glued together, and scrubbing starts to work some of that remover-soaked-polish in between the layers, leaving stains that you can't get to. I've been really bad about this over the years, but recently I've been trying to be better about just leaving my piece of acetone soaked cotton alone for a minute or two to let it work without scrubbing. Not sure I've been doing it long enough to make a difference quite yet, but perhaps my yellow stains don't extend quite as far back into my new growth as they used to (or perhaps I'm just being optimistic lol). 100% acetone is also highly recommended, as it works the quickest of anything out there, minimizing removal time (and the urge to scrub lol). I do doctor mine up with a splash of glycerin and water to keep it from being quite so drying (glycerin won't mix with acetone directly, so water is required to mix the two), but it's really hard to tell exactly how much acetone is in most ready made "nail polish removers" on the market. I can vouch for Zoya's being absolutely amazing, but most any polish remover with additives is going to have water, and it's usually going to be the second ingredient, so unfortunately, you can't really deduce how much acetone they used vs the rest of the ingredients. Considering I've used some garbage removers in the past, I'm guessing at least a few water down the acetone more than necessary. Stained nails are normal for polish wearers, unfortunately, but if you intend to keep wearing polish regularly, it isn't much of an aesthetic issue. But if you want to try and remove what's currently on your nails, I hear cuticle remover can help. Put a little on the stain, let it sit for a few seconds (maybe a minute?) and gently wipe off. Don't go the "folk remedy" route with lemon juice or bleach soaks or scrubbing the nails with anything abrasive though...soaking is terrible for your nails in general, and scrubbing/buffing just damages the surface, thinning the nail and making it weaker.

@Mellmars1185 Yeah, the scent will still be an issue no matter what. Hinoki has never triggered one of my migraines, but I’ve never had to smell it right under my nose all day, so… we’ll see what happens.

Well, thank you for sharing information

@Shosh85, I was not expecting too much from the mask and was pleasantly surprised by it. It doesn’t rise to the level of Etude House filler+ mask quality, but it’s a mask I’d choose over other filler masks. Just be forewarned that the width is … wide. 😆 Other than that, really good. I also liked that this one was nearly without a scent and that it has less that 20 ingredients. I know they have other “flavors” - a Cica one and a rose one. I would be interested in trying one or both of those when it comes time to make another sheet mask haul. 🛒
