I'm feeling very autumnal [emoji262][emoji260]
Used CJP birthday suit, white and antique bronze with glitter and Swarovski crystals.
 
Ooh CJP! How do you find it? Looking at investing :) xx
I absolutely love it! It is so easy to work with. They are VAT registered sometime next week I believe so everyone is stocking up now lol.

Thank you. I use both, I always stress over forms as I feel they take longer to ensure they are on properly but they are actually quicker than tips. Sculpting is much easier with CJP as you work dry so it's not sliding all over the form and continually needing pushed back into place. It just stays where you put it!
I couldn't do any 3D work etc until I CJP a few months ago. I used my old system today and it took ages and the odour from the monomer was really strong. I never noticed that in the past.

Magpie Amelia and Angle ombré again [emoji7]
I sprinkled this time rather than burnished and they are so much sparklier!!

Quick question though - when you sprinkle the glitter how do you keep your edges sharp? I sprinkled, patted and brushed the excess off but it just seemed to ruin the shape so I had to file after which ruined the seal slightly!

I use a brush dipped in cleanser to wipe the edges/free edge or mostly use my finger to pat down the edges after I have brushed the excess off. Then move the glitter to cover any gaps I may create when smoothing the edges

I love Amelia that is my absolute fave at the moment

2 of my favourite glitters [emoji7]
I file before I top coat
 
Thanks both :)
Top coat afterwards makes sense [emoji85][emoji122]

I know, I am obsessed with Amelia at the moment. I was going to go simple with a few Swarovski's but I just love these colours together and got distracted! [emoji7]

My mum loves pastels and isn't fond of darker shades at all. Added a gold shimmer and gold swarovskis over Life's a Peach to make it more autumnal.
