NOTW. Sinful Colors

I went to get my nails done and really didn't like the job they did, so I came and changed the polish.
Today I decided to go with Sinful Colors Black on Black.
Pictures are with and without flash. I did my best to clean them up but this is a fairly thick polish that can be a little hard to work with. My paintbrush wasn't stiff enough :/
Anyway, here's my nail of the week.

FO: Wrist Warmers

I've been saying forever that I'd make a pair of wrist warmers or fingerless gloves and never have. I needed a break from my dream catcher afghan so I searched out a pattern I could work up quickly.

I'm not sure what yarn this is. I bought it a long time ago and was frustrated with it (the color strips off easily) so I never used it. I believe it's a Chenille. I love the hot pink color and BONUS it's actually warm.

I messed up a little sewing the seams together (the top of one is the bottom of other and that made it tight instead of stretchy) but they're too cute for me to care.

I'm working on an ear warmer to match but it's slow going. Between my daughter and my cats, yarn work is a fight around here!

Zoya - Adina

I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my most recent nail color. I went and got my nails done this past weekend and after about a week I was tired of it. So I decided to throw some Zoya Nail Polish in Adina on them. I love this color. The purple and green duo chrome is gorgeous. Sometimes I just stare at my nails like a big goober. I'm sure it will last only a couple of days and I'll switch to something new but for now, I'm in love.

Without flash and indoors. Isn't it gorgeous?? (I am not in anyway affiliated with Zoya. I bought all polishes with my own money.)

FO: Beret/Slouchy Hat

Not my latest, but second to most recent finished object. A combination of Lion's Brand Wool Ease Thick 'N Quick and a yarn from Michael's I can't recall the name of right now. 3 mannequin pics, on of me modeling.

Bonus for my New Year Mani

I love stumbling onto surprises. Tonight I learned that my mani glows under blacklight :)

And that means I'll be doing many more because I love neon colors under blacklight.

New Year's Mani

Boredom tonight led me to drag out some of my polishes and see what I could do. My little experiment ended up like this.

I tried to make every nail a little different, just to see what I could do.
The base is Sinful Colors Black on Black. The pinks are L.A. Colors Art Deco in Baby Pink and Intense Pink. Some of them look kind of crazy but I like my left ring finger and the candy stripe ones.

Sorry for the mess. It's late and I don't feel like fixing the cuticles and edges.
