Crochet Again

Summer brings me the delight of free time where I can focus on crochet again. Picked up a few colors of yarn and made a scarf. 

Also, made a few granny squares.

How To - Glitter Nails

I've had these small nail glitter pots for a while now and I couldn't exactly figure out how to get the glitter out and on my nails. I mean, they're not stickers or anything and using a toothpick to get them on my nails feels pretty tiring and messy.

Then I had an idea. I got this old lip gloss wand which had dried up and I dipped it in some clear nail varnish. Nothing fancy, a low quality of clear nail varnish. Next, I dipped the wand in purple glitter pot and glitter stuck onto the wand. I applied this over a coat of MUA nail varnish in shade 3.

 I must say applying it this way helped me have more control over where I put the glitter and how much of it I got on my nail. I am pleased with the results and I finally know how to make my nails sparkle using plain glitter.

More Crochet

I've been working at my crochet lately and I made a bunch of more these round pouches.

 This one was requested by my sister. She made the flower on top by herself.

Now that I'm finally getting better at crocheting stuff, I decided to try this crochet basket too. It took me almost a day but it's done at last. (I didn't make the handle for it)

It's actually quite big and I'm thinking it will be useful to keep on the dresser for random things such as hair ties and clips perhaps.

The angry birds seem to find it real cozy. :)
