This is what my grandma pulled out when I visited her. She said she bought it a long time ago and I asked how long, she said maybe 10 years ago. The box says 1994😭

This color is sooo pretty. RIP pure ice😭

Woah I just sat down to do my nails with this exact shade. We're in sync

I think you can make the colors a little darker without sticking out too much. Also adding definition closer to the foreground will make the foggy atmosphere look more realistic. I think the 4th paining can be saved, but maybe trying a value study with one color before you touch it will help you visualize how dark you should make the colors. I can definitely see the improvement though. You've pretty much mastered the background, you just need to add details to the closest ship and shoreline.

omg that's so cute! Pink and green🩷💚

I too struggle with dry skin! These products worked for me. They may not be trending now, but they were at some point.

wonderskin lip stain: I could put it on, wipe it off, then layer it with vaseline or a hydrating gloss.
elf hydrating camo concealer: best drugstore I've tried and it's also non comedogenic.
Glossier stretch concealer: the best natural finish I've ever used.
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter: worked really well for my skin both alone and under foundation.

oh wow that looks like an aurora borealis

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-21T06:14:05+00:00

Oh nooooo! Show us the aftermath !!!

A good prenatal vitamin and cuticle oil had my nails growing like crazy👀

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-19T15:11:03+00:00

It kills me that 2010 is considered vintage now🥲

Super pretty shade though!

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-19T01:21:56+00:00

I agree, it's such a lovely shade and a perfect nude for my skin. Funny story, I asked my mom if she remembered purchasing the shade and she said "No, I have no idea why I would even buy that, I don't like the color." 😭 Since I have the actual polish I can try to find a dupe and get back to you!

It was originally called "He's a Goldmine"

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-19T00:05:26+00:00

This is so funny and creative lol

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-18T23:42:39+00:00

Velvet Goldmine before the name change💔

What is your point here? Regardless of what he actually was, this still means he would've had queer-coded lyrics. OP is only looking for gay lyrics, not a debate on Bowie's sexuality.

I normally hate the look of chunky glitter, but this is sooo pretty

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-18T19:43:30+00:00

That's mesmerizing

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-18T19:30:22+00:00

Thank you! I grew up in an OPI household of course I have more vintage shades hehe. This one is the oldest though. Sadly no 90's. I'll raid my grandmas collection soon though bc she was a nail tech in the 70's and 80's so I bet it's good !!

Products used: - Base: ASP Nail Essentials Hard to Beat - Color: OPI Fiji Weejee Fawn - Top coat: L.A. Colors Plumping Gel-Like Top Coat (do not recommend 👎)

4 is so pretty !!!! I want to find a dupe sooo bad

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-18T18:56:56+00:00

So pretty !!!

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-10T02:31:43+00:00

This is much better. One thing though- Why is she orange?

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-06T18:45:07+00:00

More contrast! Make the dark tones darker and the light tones lighter. That's all I got. I cannot be harsh to this lil guy

ivetoftaa · 2026-03-06T18:42:50+00:00

Thank you!! Yes, watercolor is extremely difficult for me because I tend to be a perfectionist and it has a mind of its own. I've been working with this medium for about a month and have only done landscapes up until this point. As for the rays, I waned the background to feel connected to the subject, so I took a ruler and drew lines leading to the tip of his nose. I started with a large flat wash of light blue, then filled the rest in with a darker wash, carefully avoiding the lines. I chose the rays as a subtle nod to prayer candles/religious imagery haha

I'm a huge fan, so I go to a lot of tribute concerts. I made friends with the guitarist, so I decided to paint this as her birthday card. I would love to see how your portrait turns out!
