Art Break! - Seahorse Embroidery

*If you want to skip this one, I don't mind at all. This one mentions babies.

This piece is for R's baby!

I sketched it out in my art book,

then onto the material.

I went with yellow and orange as my main colours for this piece, bright and cheerful.

I almost left this as just the outline, so cute!
Filling it in.

I backed it with a circle of yellow felt, to hide the edges.

I made a little 'moz' patch for the back as a way of signing my work.

Then I trimmed it with aqua ribbon and attached it to the baby blanket.

Attach it to the blanket and done!

Verdict: R loved it! It was so lovely being able to make a one-of-a-kind piece for this lovely young family!

I also showed  it to my mother, who has seen a lot of my projects, and she really liked it! High praise!

Avon - Nailwear Pro+ - Nail Enamel - Sunshine

This is a bright, true yellow nail polish.

Two coats and you can still see through it.

It would take more than two coats to be truely opaque though :(


Price: 2/5 ($14.99 for 12mL)
New Name: *It can keep sunshine*
Effectiveness: 3/5

Ulta3 - Nail Effects - Cello Yellow

This is another colour from the 'water colour' series, and the most disappointing of them all.
It REALLY needed to be more pigmented!

This is two coats... yes, really.

Price: 5/5 ($2 for 13mL)
New Name: Infection
Effectiveness: 1/5

Revlon - ColorStay Gel Envy - 210 Casino Lights

This is a soft yellow, not as bright as I would like it to be, but nice anyway.

Two coats.

It has GREAT opacity for a yellow nail polish!

Price: 1/5 ($16.95 for 11.7mL)
New Name: Daffodil
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Colour - Batiste Dry Shampoo - Blonde

I wasn't very impressed with this, especially as I got this in my Bellabox right when I became a red-head.

Still don't like dry shampoo.

And be warned, this is VERY yellow!

It smells really nice though! (like a yellow floral and peaches scent)
