Round Nails

My daddy is home from the hospital. Of course there's still a long road of recovery ahead. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!

On to the nails: I felt like round nails so I cut all my nails. Now I miss the square ones. Lol! This is the crackle that Lizzy sent me!

Base: Essence - Nude It
Then Essie - Matte About You (because I knew the crackle was going to dry matte)
Crackle: Nabi - Hot Pink

The essence polish bubbled. Sigh. But it's okay because the crackle covers it up!

Love, Bethany

Crackle

Here's my newest crackle mani:

Base: Ulta - High Roller 

Crackle: China Glaze - Crushed Candy

Love, Bethany

I Blue It

Here is another post about blue nail polish. I love blue!

Base: Ulta - Mint Condition
Shatter: Finger Paints - Blue Crackle

I think the Finger Paints crackles are great. My pinky looks a little weird because I applied too much by accident. Oops!

I promise this is the last crackle for awhile!

Love, Bethany

My Boyfriend ROCKS!

My boyfriend fixed my computer! I don't know what he did, but it took him a long time. Thanks babe! You're the best!

Now on to NAILS! I can't tell you how excited I am that my blogger is at full capacity! I was so bummed last week. It would only let me comment when it felt like it, and one comment often took 20 minutes, nevermind how long a post took.

So if I didn't comment on some of your posts, it's only because it was unbelievably difficult to do so!

Now, everyone is gaga over essence nail polish. The tiny bottles are only .99 cents but this didn't necessarily make me want to buy it. But then I figured that my fellow bloggers would not lead me astray! So I bought two!

The first is Luxury Secret

Great formula + Great Color = Winner

Then I decided to put some Finger Paints - Red Crackle (so creative, right? Lol) on top. It made me think of vampires. Yum!

Unfortunately, I had a problem with the second Essence polish. I will reveal that in a second post. Why? Because I can post again!! YAY! Aren't you excited?

Love, Bethany

Girly Girl Challenge Day Four: Inspired by the Runway

I went here to read about the fashions for Autumn 2012. They talk about mixing orange and teal together. That sparked my idea for a mani.

Teal: China Glaze - Turned Up Turquoise (This is matte that needed 3 coats. I put seche vite over it.)
Orange: China Glaze - Riveting
Top Coat: Seche Vite

The turquoise is more green in real life. Bad boy, camera!

On my left hand I used the same colors but on the opposite hands. Then I added Finger Paints - Silver Crackle for fun!

Is It Summer Yet?

I wanted something bright and happy this time. 


The pink and orange nail polishes were at least 8 years old and didn't even have names. The application was so horrible that I threw them out after I did my nails.


Yellow: NYC - Taxi Yellow Creme

Then I decided to make it punk by putting black crackle over it. 

Crackle: China Glaze - Black Mesh

Don't you wish summer was here?

Love, Bethany

Once In A Blue Moon

I had this color on my nails for two days. I'm in love with it!


OPI - I Don't Give A Rotterdam!
Top Coat - Seche Vite

Then I put a layer of crackle polish over it. 

China Glaze - Latticed Lace

I hope the glare doesn't make it too difficult to see!

Love, Bethany
