every inchie monday: nail

Hello Fellow Inchers,

This week's word at Every Inchie Monday is nail.    I tried and I tried to take a picture of my finger nail, but I am just no good at selfies.  I can never get them in focus and I shake too much.  So instead, I decided to go with nail polish.  I adore nail polish and rarely are my nails naked.  This is a shrunken picture of my bathroom cabinet, entirely devoted to that most important accoutrement, nicely arranged by colour.  There is a third shelf but it wouldn't fit into the square format.  (I mean, what else is a bathroom cupboard for?)  




Inchie size considerations:  I thought I'd enlarge it too so you could see what is there.  But this one, of course, isn't really an inchie.  But the smaller one is smaller than an inch on my screen even though it was saved one inch square in photoshop.   There seems to be a problem with inchies when you use a photograph itself as the subject.  Does anyone else have this dilemma ?  Maybe it has to do with screen resolution?  Hmm.....






My quilled inchie is a little more traditional.  It is supposed to be just an ordinary nail. 









Have a great week.  (I couldn't think of anything to say using "nail" that didn't come out sounding rude.)

  3. So glad it's not just me that's got racks of bottles! I had a naked week last week, felt very odd but my toes are always painted, even in the depths of winter! I can't take hand selfies either :-(

    Love that you went with the other nail interpretation too! Nice quilling :-)

  10. Great work, Kia! The polishes are so neatly organized; mine are just tossed in a box (and a very big box at that!). And yeah, the photography doesn't settle out quite right based on the resolution Blogger uses and then there's fitting it into your blog format. As a rule, start with the largest resolution photo you can take, then scale it down...starting small and working your way back to bigger doesn't always work out.
    Have a brilliant day! c
