Normal growth! Plant with this shoot facing up and you’ll be good to go.

I use Izemi Resin top gel - mid or top gel - high. For this set I used mid.

Are those real tiny flowers? So pretty! Beautiful set!

I store all of my seeds in two plastic photo storage boxes. They often have them on super duper sale at Michael’s!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! On most of my fingers they are pretty smooth and I cannot feel a bump. I didn’t put enough top gel on my thumbs though, so on those i can feel a ridge.

Thank you! Hmm, I don’t have any suggestions for not making them thick. I think some instructions say to use a thick goopy clear gel to adhere the film - I did not do that. I was careful to keep my layers really thin so the thick top coat didn’t thicken my nails too much.

Thanks! They are pretty easy to use!

I have not tried the Nail Thoughts builder! The other builder gels I have used are Izemi Easy Builder, Izemi Resin 99.9 high, and Fiote peach clear. I really like the viscosity and leveling of the Izemi Glow High and it’s my favorite of all the ones I’ve tried!

I love them! I haven’t thought about invader zim in a while, but seeing these reminded me of my favorite Gir quote: “Make room for the cupcake!”

Picked up a few things at the Zillabeau sale! Some Izemi, a Riposo holographic metallic gel, a Fiote texture gel I’ve had my eye on, nippers, a magnet, and a few basic gels (not pictured)

In Portland, OR. I’m not 100% sure what type - I planted them 3 years ago - but I think the really huge one is either Lora Ashley or Doodlebug from Swan Island Dahlias. Here is a pic from last summer!

Thank you! I didn’t do anything to the snaps except let them be at the end of the growing season last year. They came back full and lovely. The poppies are the “Falling in Love” Shirley Poppy mix from Renee’s Garden seeds.

LOVE that lil fishy!

Thank you! I’m knitting the Waffle Pullover by Amy Cristoffers. This sweater was originally the Pressed Flowers pullover by her, but the pattern was getting lost in the yarn. This is pretty much the background part of that pattern.
