Today it's Lancome's Vernis Absolu in Mica, a rather translucent polish I was hoping would be enhanced by some of the shiny gold. No such luck, probably due to the dulling from the earlier dark polish. Ah well, I'll try again in the future!
Eff-Oh pictures of the Snowflake Scarf:
Pattern: Snowflake Illusion Scarf (Ravelry)
Yarn: Diakeito Diaepoca, two skeins of white and one each of three blues.
Needles: US5/3.75mm
Timeframe: May 14 - 31
Mods: Some. Cast on/Bind off to match sides, used instructions from the two-row Noro scarf slipping the first and last stitch of every second row to make a nice edge. Since it's just a chart, not a full scarf pattern, I suppose making it a scarf is a mod also.
Problems: None, though I should have reversed the pattern at the center so it was more visible from both ends rather than best from one direction. Not a big deal, it's still snowflakes, just crisper from one end.
It's done, blocked, and now it'll be sitting in the closet (in the done-basket) until it's time to ship it home for Christmas. Woo!
