The weird email and closing thing with LOUD rubbed me the wrong way too. Although I wasn’t a huge fan of their initial opinion on handmade indies being inferior to lab made stuff, so I haven’t purchased from them more than once. I think the founder of lacquer 22 used to work for loud but I’ve found that I prefer Molly’s customer service and formulas!

[@mamafish8881]

I got the nameless gold KB Shimmer in my mystery bag too. My 5 year old was really bothered that it had no name and so he named it "Golden Dazzle" which I think is actually an amazing name for it. 😂 He even made me make it a label for the bottom. When I was watching your destash I was in the process of painting it on my nails because my son requested I wear it for his dance recital this week and I thought that was a really funny coincidence. Haha

[@lisapierce525]

You did a good job on destashing. One-hundred and nine is a decent amt for three drawers. IMO Very enjoyable, especially while I’m painting my nails. Have a great week!❤

[@geniej2378]

I would love for the destash pile review to sort them by colour and finish instead of by brand. Then we’ll get to see what colours and finishes you don’t like! Plus I find it so much easier to shop people’s stashes that way.

[@MediocreManis]

This is a good idea I should try it like this

[@amandastillman8352]

Great job on the destash! At this point, you can go wild at PBE in July!

[@JennSarracenia]

Cracking up when you were swatching the “foundation” polish and you were like ew…. Ew….. ew…… and then immediately put it on your nail 😂

[@KzooBeerGirl]

I 100% remember LOUD announcing their closure and have wondered why I continue getting emails from them! p.s. Maybelline Bold Gold is my go-to gold stamping polish, you should pull that back out! p.p.s. The KBShimmer that looks like a jawbreaker is likely Oh Splat! or Full Bloom Ahead

[@meganmacpherson5688]

Great job destashing! Something about the Mythos Lacquer label called to me when you showed them, so I immediately paused and went to their website. Thankfully the shop is closed till July. Dodged a bullet for now lol.

[@rescueferret8834]

Oh oh oh ...o'reillyyyyyyy Auto parts

[@PolishedMess]

Ow!

[@PolishedMess]

As you tried to open the kleancolor I flinched. Nicole loves nails breaking a bottle live had really scarred me. 😆 I'm glad you just gave up.

[@MediocreManis]

That's happened to me once and I learned my lesson lol

[@AllisManis]

Same

[@gracelarsh6352]

Great job, male witch is a Warlock.

[@jojobeaux]

lol I'm dying at "liquid skin" hahaha

[@EnragedTiefling]

That headache sounds horrid, I hope it doesn't come back!

[@MediocreManis]

It was so weird! It went away as quickly as it came but it hurt so bad

[@EnragedTiefling]

​@@MediocreManisI think I've heard that called a thunderclap headache

[@MediocreManis]

@EnragedTiefling I've never heard if that I'll have to look it up!

[@aprilkendzorski4906]

I love all the Michigan mentions and the indie polish brands here like Great Lakes Lacquer and LynB. I live in New Hudson and had a headache that put me down from Sunday night to Monday afternoon. It felt like lightning bolts coming out of my left eyeball.

[@angelamodi2923]

KB Shimmer’s Light My Fire is magnetic

[@melissadobroski1981]

I know you don’t care about the paper swatches but they make finger painting paper that works wonderfully for quick swatching.

[@MoodysMood-lt6wh]

Literally wearing LA Colors Good Vibes now. lol

[@crissyjayfae]

20:21 yes! LOUD was actually the first nail polish brand I bought from a few years back when I was just getting into nail polish and Giulia was my favorite. I actually dropped it after my first use And when it first came out it was part of a set so I had to rebuy the set twice lol cause I wanted back ups 😅 shortly after that I found Cirque then other indie brands but I agree it’s a beautiful purple. I didn’t know LOUD did a fake out shut down, but I stopped buying from them a few years ago.

[@lunarules1]

Well done! You cleared out a lot! :)

[@BreezyStreamy]

Please let us know if you are selling anything after you go through everything and gave what you can away! I am soooo interested in Fairy Tail and some others!

[@Rye_Toast]

Oh hey Michigan, I'm in Oakland County. =)

[@theoneandonlyfo]

lol, i've never thought about why "chunky holo black" is called black. i had it but it got pretty gross and i didn't know how to restore polish so i gave it to zoya to recycle. anyway, it looked great over black. green to orange.

[@karlahemphill6575]

LBdesigns Red Jamie is from an Outlander collection

[@katarinal4382]

How do you keep your mat so clean?

[@MediocreManis]

I wipe it down every so often with an acetone soaked cotton pad!

[@bonkette]

What are you doing with the corresponding swatches for the destash potentials? Are you keeping them as is until you make a final decision about the polishes?

[@MediocreManis]

Any time a polish leaved my collection I take the swatch off my swatch wall and I put it on a special ring of everything I've gotten rid of just for comparison purposes

[@meganmacpherson5688]

I know this is a destash video but I've been wondering about PBE & I know you've gone. I'm assuming some people fly out, how do they get their polishes home? Does TSA allow that much polish to fly in checked bags?

[@MediocreManis]

They have a shipping station at PBE and it's super convenient to use! I used it last year to shop ship some stuff to a friend and it was a breeze

[@melissadobroski1981]

I went the past two years and brought a ton of polish back in my checked bag. I brought bubble wrap for protection and put them in vinyl makeup bags.

[@pennyforyourswatch]

😭

[@3rin817]

Wasn't the LOUD Lacquer owner also involved in some controversy to do with a gun or something?

[@LizCowanSC]

I think that was when they decided to focus doing small group polish focused events instead of selling via their online store and the first one was at a gun range or something like that.
