Hi everyone!

I am not really better, Ernie.

Yesterday close to midnight one single shelf got loose from my wall and my little stereo system and glass vases that were on it crashed on the tiled floor in front of my bed.
I was ready to take a shower and then to go to bed but instead I had to clean the floor and so make sure that I won't step into pieces of glass in the night.
I finally could go to sleep at 2 am and I am still so mad that I am not in the mood to go to the city and pro store today.

Some nailpolishes that I got cheered me up but I don't have the money for a new stereo system so I am still sad.

I'm sorry to hear that. Fortunately it didn't crash after you fell asleep.

I have been viewing the nail polish swatches and love them. I ordered 2 OPIs, 1 China Glaze and 1 Essie through a colleague who is ordering from a US website. Look forward to getting it.

Thanks girls!

I am glad that it didn't crashed while I was asleep, yes.. this would have been horrible.. all the glass right in front of my bed.

A good therapy against bad mood for me are pictures and so I made pics of the new nailpolishes and also of my new pressed pigments.

Having an issue with throwing away MAC packaging is a good thing I learned today! I now pressed 15 pigments altogether so that I "only" would have to buy one empty 15 pan palette and not two if I would press all. But.. I found exactly the right amount of refill packagings to store the refill pans away till I can buy a new 15 pan palette!

Now I will resize the pics.

Yagmur.. I tried to press some Pigments "just" with samples. I had 1/2 teaspoon sizes of Your Ladyship and Provence from Cheryl and it worked. Exact the right amount to press.

Rose is pretty but I don't use it very often yet.

I wish i had alcohol i would've been pressing like crazy!

Which Alcohol should I purchase? Does it have a specific name? Do they sell is at special places?

Sorry about these silly Q's but i seriosuly don't know.

Maybe Rose could be used as a sublte blusher

Rose is really shimmery.. it looks gorgeous mixed with Lipglass!

I bought so called Isopropanol in 70% and 95% at a Pharmacy and mix them so that I get a 90%ish alcohol. The second ingredient is water according to the pharmacist.
I found the best tool to dose the right amount of alcohol in the metal pan is an injection. So I can get the alcohol out of the glass jar and dose it like I want to.

Jeanette, the pressed pigments are beautiful!

They make me want to pressed my only pigment, Pink Pearl.
lol.gif
I believe I can buy alcohol and I have two needles that I can fill liquid in and squirt it out (from my dentist for washing the openings in my gum when I removed my wisdom teeth last year). I don't have empty pans and palettes.

Your nail polish swatches are gorgeous too. I feel happy when I see them.
