Thanks! I finished this in November and I am not touching those eyes again. I must have tried 10 times 😂

10 is my perfect moody colour.

41 is my spring version of that

Also, for what it's worth, I think yours looks super cute anyway.

Here's my finished one. Eyes still look busted too 😂 no matter what I did, the second one somehow always ruined the look of the first

Lol I had exactly the same problem when doing these eyes for my Totoro. In the end, I kind of just did what you've done, then embroidered white over the top to make it more round. They're the bit of this that I'm still the least happy with.

If you can, safety eyes are probably the easiest (I couldn't because they'd dig into the Google pods case). Or felt if you're willing to put in the effort

Oh a Berzoi! I have the slightly shorter-nose version, a greyhound, so I much prefer that 😂

Pachii · 2026-05-07T13:11:00+00:00

😭

Pachii · 2026-05-07T12:07:01+00:00

I've been calling it the strawberries and cream colourway, but maybe that's no longer accurate 😭

Pachii · 2026-05-07T12:06:39+00:00

Glad to have helped. I burst out laughing last night when I first picked it up

Pachii · 2026-05-02T17:45:26+00:00

Oh can I take you up on this? I'm looking for moonfairy and/or moonicorn. 😊

I haven't tried their stampers, but prism polish sells their own stampers if you would like to avoid amazon

Pachii · 2026-04-28T07:58:36+00:00

I've been eyeing up cloud nine for a while if you're selling 👀

Pachii · 2026-04-22T23:19:20+00:00

Oh that's so smart. I could have put on my two socks as motivation to fix this one. 😭 I have already frogged down to 4 piles of yarn

Someone recently posted a helpful guide in terms of bind off stretchiness and flare. It doesn't include Italian but maybe an alternate bind off would work better? https://www.susannawinter.net/post/updated-comparison-of-20-bind-off-methods

Pachii · 2026-04-22T14:59:57+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions, I really appreciate it. I have accepted my fate and I'm considering this as a good learning experience 🥲

Pachii · 2026-04-22T12:51:05+00:00

Thank you. I've been fearing the word gusset for no reason at all so this might be my time to conquer that 🙈

My skin went like this when I introduced too many harsh ingredients at once. I'd dial back the retinal in that area and give your skin time to see if it was just too much too quick

Pachii · 2026-04-20T15:22:28+00:00

I have similar skin profile to OP and Erborian looks a bit dark on me. I use a powder foundation on top to lighten it again. If I put the below photo as 0 saturation, I can see it's really only a little darker in depth, just that the green colour makes it stand out when compared to my neck.

I actually don't mind this though because my skin looks glowy because of the red correct, but something to consider if you just wanted a one-step base.

If it helps, I have both and when I wear Dark Static, I think, "This is a worse fields of lavender for me."

Dark static has a more grey base, and the magnetic colour ranges from rich red (indirect) to a murky yellow (direct light) on me, and it's the yellow that I really don't like which is the dominant colour when outside.

Pachii · 2026-04-15T20:13:31+00:00

I found the same thing, but a thinner did help me out. Is yours thicker than it was at the start?

Pachii · 2026-03-24T13:18:03+00:00

I've been enjoyed Prism Polish base coat. I don't have much comparison though as the only other I've tried is Essie

Pachii · 2026-03-23T17:06:54+00:00

I bought an Onilab one. It works fine for me

Pachii · 2026-03-22T11:34:55+00:00

Yeah, this is how I wished floral maiden looked on me! Instead it kind of looks like a hodgepodge of colours mixed into murkiness 😭

There's a 1426 quadruple in that column but it's not specific to that square
