Another shot of Zoya Tomoko. Trying to give an idea of how super sparkly it is. (Why do my hands look so pink?! My friend Suzy calls it "lobster hands." The curse of skin with very pink undertones.)

This is Tomoko, one of the new Zoya PixieDust polishes. It reminds me some of my favorite China Glaze I'm Not Lion, but it is missing the holo sparkle. Very sparkly, though!

Another angle of When Stars Collide. This really shows off the holographic nature of the polish.

More nails. This is China Glaze When Stars Collide, a dark purple linear holographic nail polish. It is a fantastic color on its own, and the holo just puts it over the top. Love!

And a different angle of Ice Dream. (Sorry. I told you, I was really bad about pictures this month!)

2013-09-18

And here is Sinful Colors Ice Dream in action. Tiny white-silver glitter with larger blue hex glitter. I really like it!

More missed picture days. Here is a close up of my red fabric selections for my quilt piecing project. I need to get 2-3 more patterns, but it's harder than you think to find reds that are of the same shade of red and look nice together!

And another view/angle of the Orly Grape Glitz. Quite a pretty color, but more sheer than I generally like.

Double show off picture: Orly Grape Glitz on my nails, and an Urban Decay eyeliner in Gunmetal, a gift from a friend. Thanks, Cheryl!

More nails (sorry, you will get lots of nails this month, including multiple angles of the same ones!). This is Zoya Kierra. I truly love this color! Dark dark pink, almost red, with a purple flash. It truly glows!

My previous quilt piecing efforts used fabric sent to me by some wonderful friends. Above is my first personal fabric purchase for a quilt project. I was very forcibly reminded of going fabric shopping with my grandmother while doing this. Miss you, Granny!

And what I've pieced so far, with a USA quarter for scale (which is about 1 inch/2.5 cm across, roughly the same size as a 1 euro coin, a Canadian loonie, or an Australian one dollar coin.

See? More quilt pictures. The light stitches show up better on these two dark hexagons. I know they're not very even, but A) I'm still learning, and B) this is the back, so no one will ever see or know.

2013-09-02

The back side of my very first English paper pieced project. I was trying to show the tiny stitches, in scale with my fingers.

Stay tuned for more quilt pictures that look a lot like this one. I did a terrible job of taking pictures during the month of September. I missed at least 10 days, and the days I did take pictures, they were multiple shots/angles of the same thing. So apologies if a lot of these look the same! It should be fairly easy to tell which days I didn't take pictures, since they will look remarkably similar to earlier shots. So sorry.

Really, August? REALLY??!!!! You really thought, "hey, I know *just* what Erin needs to cap off her *wonderful* month: a kidney stone!" Thanks for nothing. At least I have Aragorn to keep me company.

And this is one of the polishes shown in yesterday's picture. You can't tell from this photo, but the glitter is actually holographic. So pretty! This is about as close to orange as I can safely get, but I do love the color.

2013-08-22

This is one of my all time favorite polishes. In fact, it would not surprise me to discover that it appears in a previous Project 365 picture from a past year. It is China Glaze's I'm Not Lion. So pretty, so sparkly, I just couldn't help but revisit this old favorite this week.

2013-08-14

I really like the Zoya PixieDust collection. They wear really well, and they are super sparkly! This is Stevie, a nice classic light purple.

Testing out nail polish for MIL's wedding this coming weekend. Tried this one on the suggestion of a friend. Neutral slightly pinkish-silver in different sized glitters. LOVE!

Hey, another finish! I know, two in a month, the world must be ending. This one is small, but it still counts!
