I think this qualifies as advanced knitting! I’ve been knitting a few years now, but when I first started I knit my grandma a somewhat boring garter stitch shawl. She LOVES that shawl and shows it off at church which is so cute but like now that I’ve gotten better at knitting I wanted to give her something I’d be even more proud for her to show people!

PS please ignore any cat hair my baby loves rolling around on my blocked projects lol

Pattern: Scheepjes Cosy Moments Lace Shawl
Yarn: Cascade Heritage 5606 Burgundy

I was at a local Chinese marketplace and spotted this bangle (ignore the pendant inside) There’s a certificate not displayed. I was just wondering, does this look real and worth the price? It does to me but I only recently got my first ever jade bangle and I wouldn’t consider my untrained eye reliable lol

My 3rd magnetic purchase so far! I love it!! I bought this during the monthly sale from LynB because it reminds me of jade 💚 Pictures don’t do it justice because it absolutely glows in the sun!

1x LynB B Smooth
2x LynB Viridian magnetized glass bead
1x Sally Hansen Insta Dri

I kept seeing people saying on here how much of a slippery slope magnetic polishes are. Honestly I didn’t think I’d end up believing the effort was worth it but omg I was so wrong I can’t believe I didn’t try this sooner I am in LOOOOVE 💕 Bonus photo of my boyfriends matching nail lol

Cracked ridge filler
2x Cracked “No reservations”
Sally Hansen Insta Dri

I did one thin coat unmagnetized and then magnetized the second coat glass bead using a wand twirled perpendicular to the nail.

This is my second Alchemy Lacquer purchase and it really solidified for me how much I LOVE this formula! It’s a super similar formula to Emotional Support Pinecone (my #1 favorite polish) where it looks almost chrome in low light but in bright/direct light it’s SOOO full of shimmers with a lot of depth from the jelly base. This might be my second favorite in my collection now! 💙

1x Cracked Ridge Filler

3x Alchemy Lacquer “You’re a Pepper” (May ‘26 PPU)

1x Sally Hansen Insta Dri

This polish is so hard to capture on camera geez. It’s so stunning in person!! There’s a really pretty depth with the flakies but as you shift your nails around the extreme angles all flash neon pink! I loooove this one!

2x Glisten & Glow Just Going with the Flow-T

This is the hottest pink i’ve ever owned hooooly. It’s so glowy in real life that it’s hard to capture in photos!! The base is a bit more on the jelly side so it has this really pretty depth to it irl too. Looooove 💕💕
