So I would categorize your 26 by theme and size. For example I am very holiday driven. Categorizing would help you know what theme to pause on buying. I like to have multiple sizes for each holiday/theme depending on my mood. I am also more productive on my diamond painting in winter so I know I can have more of those vs I should not buy any more summer as I have enough of those for that level of activity.

I saw a video (sorry can’t find it in my history) of someone who prints out a little b&w picture of the canvas to tape on the unopened drill packs.

You’re at a charter school you have no union or protections.

Yes the dancing is completely different, extremely gold on the right

😂

The consensus does seem to be that the right is better, and I wouldn’t destash the two on the left since I use them for other purposes. :)

Would like to hear more about dupe death matches, lol

😂

Yes I use the cream and topper for other purposes, so it’s really about keeping the one on the right or not.

Yes I “duped” the right polish with the cream and topper on the left. (So the right one is the one on the chopping block)

left: zoya lake topped by opi lets be friends forever. Right: 3 coats opi air we go

I saw a DIY where they used a toothpaste box cut up as a grid for polishes. I wonder if that would still fit cracked wrapped in a lil foam.

Essie wild nude is my favorite neutral

Londontown chai is a taupe (let me know if you need a $10 off code) - the little candy cane cuties advent calendar type set has a few colors, they have so many neutrals

Yes my union got us 3 consecutive years of raises (step + msa) with our current contract.

I hope there is a blind box set to go with her 😭 reminds me of the cozy set

I am dying at the advent calendar.

You can bring your own supplies. It’s about the atmosphere. Or you can sit and read a book or write poetry. It’s about the inspiration.

Fort Pulaski

I love the C&O canal

Loved hopewell furnace got to make a lil plaster mold

They encourage you to paint in the park so you should go on a nice day and plan to spend some time if you want to do that. The gardens (and barn) were pretty too (not too large).

Not planning on shopping black friday. I have enough (is it allowed to say that in this sub). I also don’t want polishes I want selling out on me. I don’t currently have anything on my wishlist.

I would absolutely buy a nail polish for an event/holiday/etc that is only happening once rather than getting a manicure. I get manicures for relaxation not for events. Anyways whether or not I wear it again vs destashing it will depend on how the color looks on me. But for the event it doesn’t matter as long as it’s on theme.

I love the little advent calendars with mini sizes. I have done the OPI hello kitty one and the wicked one, and bought londontown this year. I wear them all once and then might not wear them again. The ones I like I will buy in full size. It’s something I look forward to as an activity but I don’t require myself to like all the colors and rewear them.

I’m wearing all of my polishes this year too! I’m just putting one of those little rubber hair bands on them when I wear them. I saw a youtuber doing it too.
