The silver glitter in Divine Swine actually turns white with Isn't That Precious over it, which I really like. With base and top coat, you are looking at 7 layers of polish here. It's not surprising that I managed to crease my ring finger before it was totally dry, but I love jelly sandwiches enough to put up with all the layers and potential mess ups!
Look at this sweet baby bird that I rescued on Wednesday. I had taken the day off and was reading mail in my back yard when this bird flew (fell?) into my yard and started hopping about. I've got 3 dogs who follow me like my shadow, and my Border Collie Maggie started chasing the bird. I scream, and start chasing the bird and yelling at Maggie to leave it alone. Maggie manages to get it in her mouth at least once before I scare her away. Then my Westie decides to get in on the fun and starts chasing the bird, who is frantically hopping and squaking. I finally get the bird, and I took it to the front yard to escape the dogs.
I think the poor thing was in shock, but I couldn't tell any visible damage. It just sat there on the yard while I retrieved my camera and took pictures. I was afraid it might have a broken wing, as I wasn't sure why it hadn't flown in the first place to escape the dogs. I now think it may have been it's first attempt at flight. I was afraid to leave it in the grass, so I got a towel and some water and put it on my front porch. Within a few minutes it hopped onto the planter. The next time I checked on it, it was gone, so I think it finally flew successfully. Exciting day :-)

I LOVED the Muppets collection (and got all of the glitters, haha). Awesome that you brought it out this week! :)
ReplyDeleteI think the only other glitter I got from the Muppets collection was Rainbow Connection, which I really like. I got backups of Warm and Fozzie I loved it so much:-)
