Mani Mag 2.0 First Impressions
I recently saw a few folks posting on Instagram about the Mani Mag 2.0 from ShutYourTraps on Etsy. It’s a 3d printed magnet holder to help achieve the velvet nail look using magnetic polishes. I have really struggled with magnetics, so I decided to buy a set as a birthday gift to myself.
Holo Taco Mixed Emotions Collection
A few weeks ago Holo Taco debuted its first thermal polishes in its fifth anniversary Mixed Emotions collection. I was a bit surprised by this since I had previously gotten the impression that Cristine wasn’t impressed with thermals and wouldn’t be pursuing them for the brand. I’m happy that this didn’t turn out to be the case! The set I ordered has arrived - scroll down to see pictures and comparisons!
Crochet Relief Wave Purse Prototype
After crocheting my relief wave shrug prototype, I’ve gotten a little obsessed with what else I can make using this stitch. I recently had a conversation with my mom about a crocheted purse she saw on a department store website, so I decided to see if I could make a relief wave purse.
Ceres Top
CrochetWithAlannaMiall recently released the Ceres top pattern and it was an instant purchase for me since I’m a fan of the puff stitch look.
Birthday 2024
This year’s birthday was a bit different than those of the past. My actual birthday fell midweek and included
Holo Taco Rock Candy Collection
A few weeks ago, Holo Taco dropped their rainbow inspired (but not ROYGBIV) crushed holo collection. I have been a fan of the crushed holo formula since Highest Bidder was released in the Gala collection back in 2022, so this collection was a definite purchase for me. What I found a bit unexpected was the addition of micro shimmer (that was introduced in Spyglass as part of the Holo Royalty Shimmering Secrets set earlier this year) - it really adds to the look in my opinion.
National Nail Polish Day
Today is National Nail Polish Day, so I attempted to paint some nail polish shelves like Simply’s on my nails. Happy nail painting, everybody!
