Two Sets of New Eyechips

It took some time for me to decide and finally switch Sonny's eyechips and I have still only done two sets so far. I have more chips coming in the mail and hopefully then I will be able to make a final decision about the last two sets. It is always hard to really envision what a color is going to look like on a girl especially since computer screens are all different and you never really know what color the chips are that you ordered!

Take out the green and orange stock sets of chips from my Sunshine Holiday was surprisingly easy. They just poped right out using the glue stick method (heating one end of a hot glue gun glue stick, pressing it onto the eyechip, wait for it to harden and then pull and twist).

However putting in the new chips was much more of a hassle! With the first set one of the foils bunched up and I didn't notice until it was already clicked in so I had to remove the new chip with the glue stick method. Luckily I was able to get the glue off the new chip and reuse it again. The second set had it's own problem. It was a front facing pair and I just couldn't get one of the chips to stay in. It wouldn't click into place or anything so it ended up falling into the head once! I was able to retreive it and ended up using a little bit of Aleen's Tacky Glue on the back of the pupil and let it dry for a while before changing the eyes and that did the trick.

Here is the final results of the two pairs that I have changed:

The final choices were the brown and green. I will hopefully be replacing the other two soon with blue and pink chips. I think it was well worth the hassle!
