I’m sorry to say that this isn’t my usual “Let’s revive”, featuring a 1961 bottle of Max Factor Pink Diamond Iridescent.
I likely will not be so active in the comments this time around, but I may revisit them in a few days if I feel safe to.

Give no response. Keep your chanel for the ones that show appreciation. Sending possitive love today ❤
Thank you.
Big hugs to you. Keep yourself safe. And thank you so much for the content you've shared with us to date. I happened upon your contract by pure accident and never used nail polish. But I'm fascinated by history/women's history/sociology and archaeology. I've noticed myself becoming well, not who I want to be in social media of late, because of (reasons that have no place here) and I had been realizing that I need to step back. Your post really hit home so thank you.
I love your content, it's so soothing to watch and listen as you move from beginning the process to the end. Unfortunately there will always be those that get satisfaction from being destructive. You keep shining!
I'm so sorry you're dealing with all that
❤❤❤😢hopefully things get better ❤❤❤
People should not be suggested to you if they’ve been blocked! I know some creators don’t like doing that but for my own mental health I’d hate to see these names pop up. I hope you’re doing ok and I love your content—these frosted pinks remind me of my mom who was a Kennedy era woman— she loved these!
I personally began a makeup instagram a while ago and started getting some attention, nothing crazy, but some follows back from bigger creators and small brands. I decided to pull away after a ‘mutual’ I had was being pushy with what she thought I could/should post – she didn’t want me to post certain things she had not tried yet, etc. In the end I realised I was focused more on her than enjoying my hobby. I blocked her, and switched to private. In the end I went as far as deleting my account because I realised I don’t have a thick enough skin for being ‘out there’ on social media. It was really affecting my mental health. Now I don’t have IG I feel a lot better, and I’m enjoying makeup again finally.
Do what is best for you, prioritise your wellbeing.
as always, thank you SO much for sharing with us 💛
being visible online is taken for granted because of its commonality now, but there are so so many factors to it and so many scary ones at that!! it's a great gift that we get to see your process. thank you for the polish, your knowledge and insight, and your thoughts and feelings! I hope getting it off your chest to us viewers gives some relief (and if it didn't- dont feel obligated ever!! we're not entitled to anything you have to offer 😤)
A big audience getting to partake in your research + restorations is mega cool, but it's not more important than your well being !! No matter what you try out or ultimately land on, it will be worth it to take care of YOU. if you need to step back, viewers will miss your presence of course- but you, your real friends, your loved ones, and any of us strangers online that have a grasp on empathy, will all be so grateful for the decisions that lead to you taking care of yourself!!
💛 two cents from a well meaning online follower 🫡 also i ADORE this shade, stunning and such a neat restoration 😌
I am so sorry that someone has forced you jnto their own disturbed issues. I very much appreciate that you aren't going into the details and turning this situation into a public drama. Take care of yourself first and foremost.
If you need to take a beat then do it. You comes first. But.. like everyone else has said get documents, receipts anything that will be helpful to authorities. Call them, get advice on what to do. Even get advice from lawyers. If she gets away with it then she has won and will keep doing it to other people.
I appreciate all that you do!
Sometimes just venting is enough ❤ I’m sorry you’re going through this, your content is so awesome! Relaxing, well educated, and I love that other creators (Erin Parsons) who I also respect engage with you. ❤
First and foremost, i am so sorry for whats going on. The Internet is a scary place that allows some sick people to go unchecked.
Second: Could you try to find a dupe of this polish? Its so pretty!
You’re so kind about the entire situation. Compassion matters and hope this person can find the help they need
I’m sorry you’re being harrassed. Social media can be fun, it can build communities, but it can also be dangerous, especially for women. I hope you can find some peace from this situation 🩷
You have a gift
That’s a great pink! I never heard of the component in nail polish called Guanine before your videos! Whenever you swatch a polish with guanine the shimmer is amazing ☺️
I hope that this person bothering you (don’t know what word to call it and definitely don’t want to be accusatory towards a stranger on the internet) gets the help they need and no longer continues to bother you. If they start to harass you further, please look into your cyber bullying/ internet harassment and potentially defamation laws in your region if it goes that far, keep receipts of this behaviour solely for law enforcement if they go way too far.
Every older woman I knew in the early 80s wore this shade. I have so many good memories attached to shimmery coral-pink polish. ❤
With regards to uncomfortable online 'relationships': Safety First.
I violated that rule once. Never again. You never know what the mental state of a person is on the other side of your computer screen.
There is no viewer count worth your safety or peace of mind.
You may not know what your harasser is going through, but you don’t need to. From what you’ve shared, their behavior toward you has been unacceptable – regardless of what might be going on in their own life
If this person is harassing you, contact the police. Whatever this person is "going through" they have no right to make you feel unsafe.
I've always been pretty deep in fandom spaces of irl people (typically youtubers) and honestly what I've learned from that is that I never want to be famous. You can do absolutely nothing and people will find a way to be insane. I know it's probably not the comfort I intend, but there's probably not really anything you could have done about this. Best thing to do is ignore them and not bring attention to them, which it seems like you've been doing. My sympathies about whatever is happening :(((
I’m glad you were able to say what you needed to say. I’m sorry for you and for the person giving you problems. I really enjoy your content and your nail shape!
Thanks for opening up and we all love you for your articulate presentation of these fascinating vintage polishes! Lots of love and thanks for your wonderful distraction from the harsh human world. Please withdraw your accessibility. X ❤😊
There is another small content creator going through this (JCarts Arts) – reach out to him if you can, he has been working through this same type of issues as well. You need to protect yourself.😢 it’s sad this is becoming the norm.🫶🏽
I'm sorry you're having to deal with a fan who is harassing you and making you feel like you have to withdraw. I hope you find a balance between protecting yourself and doing something you enjoy. I stumbled on your content and have been having so much fun watching all the amazing polishes you are preserving.
Question about your nail shape. I desperately want that shape for my nails. Is that your natural nail or do you get a little outside help?
no content warning for suicide
I'm curious about the cigar band, like the etymology or design history behind it. And very sorry about the problems you've been having online! People can be….intense
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I love your content and energy. So I’m sad this is happening. To all social media people out there. Spread love and kindness folks. It costs nothing. At all.
Ugh I am so sorry this is happening to you 😢
To change the subject the color on your nails at the start is gorgeous! Mind sharing what it is?
I’m sorry you are dealing with something like this. It can be really scary, frustrating, and stressful all kinds of mucky emotions. Hopefully, eventually this will come to an end so you can resume doing what you love. As I’ve stated before I’m not a huge fan of pink but I’m finding that these older shades with shimmer are changing my opinions of the pink shades. Keep doing your thing, life will get better. ❤
Who tf is messing with our QUEEN?! 😡
Do what you do best: document everything. I love that you're compassionate about this person, but err on the side of caution. Stay safe.
I'm sorry you're going through that. It's incredible what some people choose to do with their time. Lovely color that brings back happy memories for me.
Do what makes you feel safest. ❤ I appreciate your content, but it's never worth risking yourself.
I highly recommend reviewing all of your social media and removing anything that might help this person narrow down your location. Make sure you have 2FA enabled and use unique passwords for every login. A password manager (I like Bitdefender) is a massive help.
An advice from an over 50 year old: don't Pay too much attention to the social Media World.Toss tiktok and instagram, at least for a while. Prople are rude online. Don't let them Ruin your good energy.❤
Dusty I am sorry that is happening for everyone ! I don’t have the time to comment most of the time and just watch and feel deeply comforted by your content. Polish is how I connected to my mom and has been part of my whole life. I remember going to Grants at like 4 yo 1971 ish and looking at nail colors. Your content is just lovely. Thank you for helping me cope w some real stress on the daily right now. Bless you ❤
Thanks for sharing about your experience. You apologized in the video for not being as lighthearted as usual, but I hope you know that you don't really have anything to be sorry for. Most of us just want you to be you, it's your authentic voice that is so special, not just the polish revivals (which are fascinating).
I had no idea about Mikayla, I loved watching her and all the animals. Her videos of Finnegan and Vixie were some of my favorites. That breaks my heart 😔 Rest Peacefully Mikayla ❤
I completely understand. You must protect your peace! ✊🏿
Definitely protect yourself. Your safety and mental health matters more than anything else. I hope whoever this person is, they stop and get help. That’s just so scary
Do take this seriously, because you just can't know how far they'll take it. Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. Definitely keep records of everything, just in case, and take breaks from being online as you need to.
In my case of online stalking (by my abusive parents – I left the country and went no contact, but they still stalked me), threatening to make it a legal issue on a public Facebook post, seemed to have worked. I haven't heard from them in years. It's possible that they are still stalking quietly, but I really doubt it, because of their constant need for attention.
I hope it all works out. Please do whatever you need to, to look after yourself. Some of us definitely understand, unfortunately.
