These are also new.

These are also new.  I love the look of the filigree bands, but they are a little harder to get and more expensive, so I decided to also try the 18mm stones in a plain band.  I only have these in the silver tone right now, too, but I am definitely planning to get them in brass before October.  There are 13 photos here, so make sure to scroll through!

Here are some of the things I made.

Here are some of the things I made.  I guess I'll start with the new 12mm adjustable rings - I decided that not everything had to be on those large, expensive, filigree bands.  I only have this size in the silver color right now, but I hope to buy them in brass soon.  Kids seemed to gravitate towards these.  🙂  Make sure to scroll through - there are 15 photos!  I sold some but can always re-make if I don't have the one you like.  🙂

I own 5 crackle polishes and just realized that...

I own 5 crackle polishes and just realized that I've only got photos of one put up - and in the photo, you can't really tell it's a crackle! How goofy. LOL I know what happened. I went back and looked at my nail photos, and it wasn't long after I got my crackles that I also got my stamping goodies. Stamping goodies > crackle.

Anyway, this is my black one over a Maybelline Color Show Limited Edition pinky / champagne something or other. LOL I can look at the name if anyone actually likes it. They had it at Walgreen's. Which, btw, if you are into polish, they seem to get a lot of cool exclusives that other stores don't get. 😉

So, crackle. Love it or hate it? Most people seem to have a strong opinion one way or the other. I like it, especially when you get nice big cracks. 😃

GREEN PAISLEY! 😃😃😃

GREEN PAISLEY! 😃😃😃

This was another image on my set of plates that I was really stoked to get. I love how intricate and fine the pattern is, and it transferred so well. Sometimes, the finer images just don't work as well for me.

I love x 1000 this green. It's very close to the color of my living room. When I saw it, I knew I had to get it. I only wish the bottle was bigger. It's one of the new Maybelline's from Wal-Mart. The paisley was stamped with a darker green China Glaze polish. I can get color names if anyone is interested. 🙂

Got a new polish yesterday from Walgreen's.

Got a new polish yesterday from Walgreen's.  It's a Maybelline something or other - one of their denims, which is perfect for a zipper.  I think these are new since I haven't seen them before.  Without topcoat it really does resemble denim, but I had to topcoat these because of the stamping.  Which, btw, I know that my stamping is not great here.  I am wayyy out of practice and not only that, it was like, 3 am when I was working on these.

And I started doing one thing, then Shaun had a good idea, so I scrapped that and started a few nails over, then didn't like them, and did them over AGAIN.  I bet I did each nail twice to get them to even look like they do.  It was an ORDEAL.  I was so frustrated by the time I was done.  😂  I do like how they turned out, though.  And I REALLY like that blue color.  I might have to snag another bottle of it, just in case.
