Well, my day yesterday didn't actually go as I had planned but I still ended up getting a lot done. I had planned to start on a big order and work on it over the next few days. but when I got to it I realized that I still needed some information from the customer in order to get started. While I was waiting for computer dimensions from her I decided to start on another order and I ended up getting it all done yesterday! I was able to clear off 2 orders (both for the same customer). This is what I finished up...it's a Kira Purse, a Trina DSLR Bag and 2 Netbook/Mini Sleeves. I am LOVING the fabric on these too. She gave me a list of fabrics that she liked and gave me free reign to mix and match them how I liked and I think they turned out great and very springy!
I don't know if you know this about me but I am obsessed with nails, nail polish and finding some top coat that will actually make it so that I don't have to re-paint my nails every other day! I have been wearing artificial nails for about 5 weeks, up to last weekend anyway, and it was time to give my nails a breather. I have just been using the pre-french mani ones you get at Target and doing them myself. It seems like when I wear these for more than a week or two, when I take them off my nails are all full of ridges and they just look crappy. I know that it's because of the glue and no air and all that, but they look so pretty when they are on! Anyway, I was wearing black polish last week, it's definitely my go to color but I decided I wanted a more spring look. So this is what I did on Saturday evening. I don't know if you have ever used OPI Rapid Dry topcoat, but when you first use it it's wonderful. It has a great wide brush, it's smooth and if you put it on about 2 minutes after your 2nd color coat it dries hard in about 5 minutes. After you use about half the bottle it's pretty much crap! The brush isn't long enough to go to the bottom of the bottle and it gets all gunky, it strings out and is NOT smooth so basically you have paid $8 (low end of the price range) for something that you can only use 1/2 of then you have to toss it! So, this is where I was with my OPI so I pulled out this old bottle of Signature something or other. It's a nail hardner, but it dries really fast so I used it as a top coat! Now I have had this bottle for at least 3 years, but it went on great and dried fast and it's Tuesday and I have no chips in my polish! I am sure I have jinxed myself now, but so far so good...I took that picture yesterday. The only thing I am not loving is the brush strokes that I seem to get with the lighter colors, it was mostly the blue and yellow. I am sure it's the polish brand, as you can see from the picture all the colors are a different brand, but I always get this with any light color polish. I usually have to do at least 3 coats to get it to look decent and then it's so thick it ends up peeling off in one piece! Anywho....that's my nail story! Here is some of where I am getting my color inspiration lately
