I've been systematically trying to use up the last bits of pigment left in the manufacturers' jars after I repot my colors. Sometimes it's a bit challenging. Other times, things work out fairly well. This has been a way for me to make sure that I get every possible use...
If you were thinking about getting Sitting Pretty on Fifth from TheSheSpace, better order today…this is the last day they'll be available. I bought this kit and applied it using the enclosed tip card. Usually, those tip cards don't do anything for me. This one was excellent!! This is...
