Thank you - yes I did and will do again. They are comfy and I love my heel. Never learned to walk in High Heels with a slim heel and even twist my foot in ballerina flats :-( ... so everything is perfect for me. I started strassing a small boxclutch to match them

The blue insole is the PERFECT pairing for the light blue iridescence that reflects off the special coating. I am in LOVE with this color. It's far more interesting and beautiful than clear crystal IMO: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...Moonlight4.jpghttp://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...Moonlight3.jpghttp://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...Moonlight6.jpg And finally, just a little red, white and blue festive fun. Thanks for letting me share ladies! http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...dWhiteBlue.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...WhiteBlue3.jpg

Stunning Oak! The moonlight is simply breathtaking!

Thank you. I loved the Moonlight! It was my first time using it, and I totally fell in love with it. I hope to use more of it in the future.

But yes, I am so happy about these. I never really learned to walk in Highheels with a slim heel and even twist my foot in ballerina flats (which makes my DH wonder and freak out every time happening) ... so I was more than happy to have found a CL with a stable heel. I love to wear them do wear them even though they look like a brides shoe. What wonders me most is - they still go very well with silver even though there is a golden hint. Now to you !! I love all your shoes ... the blue is stunning (royal) I love that you left a detail unstrassed. All your shoes are so beautyful! I have the color card and have never realised that there is a little blue in it - I only see the warmth comparing crystal and moonlight. Thank you for showing !!

Thank you so much Dessye!

I searched and searched and cannot find the post by a tPF about the crystals that are used in CL's fire opal strass. I'm planning on strassing a pair of coral bananas which I may paint a mid to dark ruby. What's the second color crystal? Light Siam? Indian Siam? I've studied multiple pics and can't figure it out.

Thanks for any help! <3

Thanks girl :)

Strassing experts: is there such thing as flatback fire opal in ss9 or smaller? I can't find any on any site. Just checking that I didn't miss something. Thank you.

Thanks ladies! I ended up getting the jet hematite! I love aurum but it is so freaking expensive! I think I'll just do gold shoes whenever I'm done with the black. Does jonquil ab look very gold? I can't wait to start on my shoes... I'll post pictures on my progress!
