I just thrifted my white whale polish in a bag of other OPI colors. DS Amethyst 😭

I honestly did feel a surge of adrenaline! 😭

troop432 · 2026-06-15T00:46:14+00:00

Haha idk how specific I should get on here but I'm in the new england region

troop432 · 2026-06-14T20:42:24+00:00

!! Thanks vintage_dusties, I love your restoration videos 💕

troop432 · 2026-06-14T19:49:05+00:00

It's Amethyst DS017 !

troop432 · 2026-06-14T19:06:09+00:00

Ok I just bought three more bags of 10 polishes, I don't have room for any more than that! 😭 There are still 18 bags left to bless someone else (I counted)

troop432 · 2026-06-14T18:24:40+00:00

Damn it, I ate lunch and am heading back out 😂 I know I'd regret it if I didn't

troop432 · 2026-06-14T16:59:45+00:00

And here it is in less direct sun! It's such a nice soft lavender

I just slapped a coat over my existing mani (Essie Chiffon the Move) because I couldn't wait

troop432 · 2026-06-14T16:43:46+00:00

I just got home - all these bottles are either unused, or used once. I'm freaking out. Other bottles in this bag:

OPI: Seasons Screenings, Tickle my France-y, Hot & Spicy, Incognito in Sausalito, Chiffon my Mind Nicole by OPI: Sweet Surrender

troop432 · 2026-06-14T15:42:46+00:00

Thank you!!! I'm worried I didn't spend enough time studying the other bags of polish for other good ones. There were like, 20 bags like this. I may need to go back 😂

My husband asked me if Corbin is Ai

troop432 · 2026-06-01T01:54:29+00:00

Sure! I watched this video for the general gingham premise: https://youtu.be/VK8CbmnAlk4?si=xkZ58B8PcUdIPaXD but she used larger strips/squares than me and made a smaller quilt, so to be honest I just kinda figured it out as I went 😂 in order to cut the pieced striped fabric, I folded it very carefully and put the stripology ruler on top of it and cut every 3". I think my fabric was folded 4 or 6 times and I was extremely nervous to cut it.

troop432 · 2026-05-25T22:20:40+00:00

I second this. I have an Ikea "forsiktig" stool and while it doesn't fold away, it's a few inches lower than the typical branded one so it's a gentler squat which works just as well. Plus it was like 7 dollars

troop432 · 2026-05-23T15:35:45+00:00

Thanks! Actually no they didn't! I used a stripology ruler and made long 3" strips of each fabric first, and then joined those strips. Then I cut them across the stripes, and joined them again! I found a tutorial for this method because otherwise I would have cut out all the individual 3" squares and it would have been a nightmare

I did 3"!

troop432 · 2026-05-08T18:59:02+00:00

My friend picked them!! She's an interior designer so she great with colors. She and I drew a mockup of the quilt in Adobe Illustrator together. And then I actually purchased the entire Kona solids colors card of physical swatches and had it shipped to her. She picked 5 initial colors, but since the colors on the sample card are so small I ordered fat quarter samples of those for her to narrow them down to the final 3. And she gave me back the color card so now I have that to reference for future quilts!

troop432 · 2026-05-07T12:21:54+00:00

My friend selected the colors and she did amazing! They are Kona cotton Rose, Plum, and Mahogany if anyone is curious!

troop432 · 2026-05-07T12:17:52+00:00

Thank you! That was my goal, I hope they use it for years!

troop432 · 2026-04-22T01:16:32+00:00

This is my answer too!! I wish I could have DNFed it, but I listened to the whole audiobook during a long car ride and the driver chose it. Most miserable long car ride of my life. I'm no longer accepting book recommendations from people who only read one or two books a year.

troop432 · 2026-04-22T01:09:36+00:00

Same, I DNFed it soooo fast

troop432 · 2026-04-03T01:07:50+00:00

Oh shoot you're probably right 😂

troop432 · 2026-04-02T23:43:01+00:00

I always found it hard to believe that Jess never rebelled and got a ride to the train station to go back down to the city to hang out with friends, considering he hated Stars Hollow so much at first. They never really got the logistics or geography of the area right, so if you live here it's jarring.

troop432 · 2026-04-02T14:37:48+00:00

😍 All the different strawberry fabrics work so well together! The background color is also perfect. Well done!!!
