I gave my boyfriend an AE burger pin a couple days ago. I didn't cover it with lacquer or clear nail polish so I'm probably getting a new bf soon

I haven't tested the bluetooth yet but at startup it blasts a gently caress off loud opening movie credits sound, there's no option to make it silent lol

Now to check if someone makes a shortwave/gsm combo

Omg it works as an FM radio without plugin headphones in.

Nope the screws are real ! There's a little screwdriver to open the back and pop 1 or 2 sim cards and a micro sd in there.
The battery is hella huge and says it's 5200 mAh on it. There's a menu option to charge an other phone with the usb plug that's hidden near the bottom.
It's really thick and pleasant to handle.

I wouldn't dunk it in water because it looks like the case is two halves clipped together, we'll see how it holds-up.
There's also a little flashlight on the top that turns on with the orange button. So far that's that's an excellent way to spend 37.79$

Bornpretty is just AE stuff marked up. Half the polishes I've ordered from AE & Wish came with Born Pretty labeling.

The sparkly/duochrome polishes are good (for crafting, I haven't tried them on my fingers or toes). Only issue is, sometimes they're a gel so metallic you have to sponge it on, and it takes 10 layers. Super pretty, but I wouldn't do it for a temporary effect.

Also what the hell do you use to get gel polish out of a sponge?!

BP prices aren't bad, but its a bit hard for them to beat the 1.50-3.00 AE polishes cost.

Outside elbow grease? Probably some lacquer thinner to dissolve the gel, if your sponge can handle it (and you have rubber gloves).

AE sellers seem to have caught on to the fact that BP stuff sells, for example:
https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/327...7bbf05#autostay

Wish used to have much better prices, I don't know if they still do. It's been about a year since I bought the ones I have. I do have either that exact green, or a dupe. I'll dig it out and see what the label says.

Another issue is, "color changing," "duochrome," "multichrome," "chameleon," etc also bring up thermal polishes. On both Wish and AE. You have to be willing to browse around, which I should have mentioned.

For those prices, you might as well order Dance Legend from their direct site. I didn't know they'd gone up that much, my apologies.

In general, the makeup isn't a good idea. Usually the quality is way off, and there are contamination issues to worry about. Some people get gross eye/skin infections. Even if you don't, there's the heavy metal absorption to worry about.

The makeup thread is rad, lots of helpful people. I didn't get into makeup properly (beyond the occasional drugstore shadow) until I was 25. There's always time to catch up.

Lead jokes aside, a lot of these rough smells you get are likely far more innocent than you think; mold release, gloss coats, paint curing (some paints can take up to a week after application before they stop releasing gas), and some sort of leather preservative are likely the big culprits. Industrial-grade stuff can stink like hell because these sorts of factories dont smell great to begin with, and they aren't competing with Lemon Scented E-Z-Coat (900gal bottle).

Not saying they aren't rank as hell, just that you can hold off on writing your will.
