I love how you process the changes that you need to make to adapt the piece to your body. It's really impressive. As for the nails, love 'em!Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741932078378446322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-52430567177249756282011-11-28T16:43:25.523-06:002011-11-28T16:43:25.523-06:00Oh, thanks for that!

Obvs, I did!<br /><br />I did some swatches on tape, and Carey looks pretty much the same as Cocktail Bling, but Megan and Kendal are different from either Cocktail Bling or Bangle Jangle. Megan is a lighter heather color - lighter than Bangle Jangle by far. Kendal is along the same lines as Cocktail Bling, a blue-grey lavender, but several shades lighter.<br /><br />So, Megan and Kendal = not dupes. But the Avery shade is pretty much the same as Brooch the Subject. And Carey = Cocktail Bling.<br /><br />What can I say? I'm a sucker for a set!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-51591805338306158852011-11-28T16:06:21.319-06:002011-11-28T16:06:21.319-06:00Ahem!
