Sounds like you are doing great Debi. We want to see pics when you get your necklace.

Alana--I'm so glad you found your brush. Like I said that is one brush I can not be without.

I had fun with my little grandson yesterday. He's getting so big. He'll be 7 weeks old this Tuesday. My son told me to lay him on his tummy some because that helps strengthen his upper body and that he could almost turn over. I had him on his tummy and playing with his toes and he turned over all by himself. I was excited to tell them but then I felt I shouldn't because I knew this would make my daughter-in-law feel guilty for leaving him and missing one of his first. So I hope he does it while they are both there or at least for her. It's so hard on new moms or I should say all moms because they need time away and for themselves but they also feel guilty for doing so.

Why does our society put so much pressure on women? It is so unfair.

awww - i think you did the right thing by not telling her, so would have been upset and felt bad that she missed his first flip i am sure that he will do it again for his mum and dad! and i agree that it is crazy how much pressure women feel when it comes to children. many of my friends feel guilty if they do anything without their child - so much that they actually don't do anything without their children.

Debi - congrats! Living vicariously through you! I want orange nails too.

shadow - so pleased that you had fun with your grandson! I'm sure he will do it again in front of his parents. I agree, women are to be expected to excel at work and family in today's world. How tough is that!

I finished my first day of my job today. It's all right but I'm still adapting. I'm sure more will come very soon. lol! Have a good week, ladies!

[ElvenEyes]

Busy day and glad everyone seems to be having a good one! Must check your new tutorial, Lou. Miss QQ, best of luck on your new job and glad things went well today for you. It always takes a while to get your groove going, but just remember that everyone was new at one point!

Just put up pics of my new storage/collection that I have been working on. Still no vanity, but maybe someday....maybe not! lol At least it is neat, tidy and has a comfy home!

oohhh awesome! i am now off to find your new pics!!

 

[shadowaddict]

MissQQ--Good luck with your new job. Getting used to a new job is stressful as well as new surroundings and new co-workers. However like Debi said all of those people were new at one time.


Lou--love the new video, and the blue and purply eyes. Very sexy.

This is probably a stupid request for most beause they alredy know how to do this. My suggestion is to do a tutorial on a step by step of how to use pigments as e/s using the mixing medium. I know you told us on here a while back but I'm a visual learner. The l/g one was very helpfu. I have Melon that I got at a CCO last summer and I think I'm going to try a l/g with it.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Cool video, Lou! I love that colour mix and that highlighter is pretty. Hmmm! Just what I need MORE makeup! lol

I have noticed something interesting. The OPI orange I used was a little streaky. Nothing new to me and using creams. But the Seche Vite didn't make it shrink up and show white on the edges like it does with Zoya. I wonder if it has to do with Zoya's natural products or something. I am really curious now! This summer is going to be full of MU experiments. Making my own pigment glosses and trying out nail things! I was thinking of wearing orange and yellow nail polish on Halloween so I have candy corn nails. Hehehehe....

thank you! and yeah vellum really is awesome!! i don't use it during the day that much but for nights out it is amazing!!

and that is very interesting about the opi and seche vite! i have never noticed before but i am actually wearing an opi cream (stranger tides) and you are right - no shrinking at all!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Isn't that weird? I have on another OPI (forget the name, of course) but it isn't shrinking either. It is just Zoya and that makes me so sad. I love Zoya but the white tips on my nails really bugs me, no to mention they are exposed to chipping and do (the nail, not the polish) whereas now my Seche Vite and OPI stay right to the ends and keep my nails stronger and protected. What a bummer on Zoya! My nails look nicer with the OPI on. Must get more OPI now... Hehehe...

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ My manicure lasts longer with OPI too, compared to other polishes. Chanel chips very quickly on me, but some of the colours are so pretty. No Zoya here though, sadly. Thanks for your encouragement! Like you said, I'm still getting the groove going.

Lou - thanks. At the moment I'm still finding out more about the work and the environment, so I can't tell for sure. I'm loading your violet and blue video now!

shadow - I need a tutorial on the pigments and mixing medium too. I have watched a little bit of it before somewhere, but I didn't pay much attention then. I don't know where I can't buy the mixing medium though. Thanks too, for the encouragement! Definitely is stressful, but after my last job which was so hard on me, starting on this is actually less stressful. For now. lol.

I finally managed to get some mixing medium - it arrived today with the rest of my telephone order from Pro (they've been out of stock of mixing medium for ages), so a tutorial on how to use it would be very useful.

yay!! which one did you get? the water based one?

 

[rockin]

Yep, I gathered from reading somewhere on Specktra that it was the water based one I needed. I wouldn't have known otherwise.

yup! that's the bad boy. in my latest pigment video (which should go live tomorrow) i actually talk a little about that mixing medium but mostly talk about the gel one (it works better for what i was making!)

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Thanks for the support! I love the video of the purple and blue eye look. I'm going to check with my pro mac store if they have the mixing medium and I look forward to your tutorial!

no problem at all! you guys support me so much too, it's great how we all help each other like that, even though none of us have ever met in the flesh!

So, my OPI is already chipping. Interesting! 2 days in. And Zoya lasts me 5 days! Looks like it is time to switch back to a Zoya colour!!!

random!! i have been wearing opi for the past 3 days and still no chips! and oe of the days included me moving a shed load of tv's and box where usually my nails get wrecked!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Then I will have a chat with this nail polish! OPI...don't abandon me! xo
