Here Comes Trouble!


I got some great advice recently from Birgit, Kaz and Steffels about what kind of bulbs or lamps to try.
I took a few test shots to see how my new lights would affect my photos. I really like them!



What do you think?



I moved my lights to the front and one of them is still up above but more to the front. I think it looks better, but now I've got those glares going on cause the glass is reflecting. I need a diffuser or a light box. I'm just afraid that might dim the lights just enough to make my flash fire though. x.x

any ideas?

This is old school ChG, I totally love it! So easy to apply. It's been a long time since I've had one this smooth and opaque in two coats. I love how the gold shimmer is subtle, yet its definitely there! And wow, this is 51 out of 52 weeks of polish! I am almost through a whole year, holy cow that went by pretty quickly! I am thinking for 52 I'll choose a glitter bomb, suitable, no?
