Mermaid Scales

Mermaids might be my favorite fairy tale creature! They're so alluring. I also love Sirens, which are very similar. 


I used over 15 polishes for this, which is why it looks a little crazy! This is also why I'm not going to list all of the names. My tool was the end of a bobby pin.






I think it would be fun to do a whole series of nails based on fairy tale creatures or mythology. Maybe Medusa should be next?

Autumn Wind

This is my entry to Chalkboard Nails' nail contest! This nail contest involves using only a dotting tool for nail art. My hi-tec dotting tool was the end of a bobby pin!


I used a lot of colors and I don't want to type them out. So here are my nails: 





The wind is blowing the tree's leaves away.


I hope you like it.

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

Ice Queen

Who doesn't love a fierce Ice Queen? I applied the glitter with a makeup sponge!

Glitter: China Glaze - Lorelei's Tiara
Top Coat: Seche Vite




I hope you like my cold Ice Queen!

Love, Bethany

Once More With Feeling

This post is the same as the last. The only difference is that it is MATTE.

Isn't Matte Magical?

Wicked Witch

I love flakies! This is my first time using all of these polishes and they're all great!


Base: Essie - Wicked
Flakies: Finger Paints - Flashy



Yummy, right? On my right hand, I put glitter on my ring finger instead of flakies, to make an accent nail.

Glitter: Ulta - Pinata-Yada-Yada


Love, Bethany

Wow Watermark

Yay! My first watermarked pictures! Maybe it's too small? Anyways, I love the base color. It has a red sheen which made me want to do red nail art!


Base: Finger Paints - Warm He-art-ed
Red: Revlon - Frankly Scarlet
