Why So Many Posts?

Sorry I'm posting so much today! I just get so excited about the swatches and/or nail art that I have to show you! I've spent at least half of my day just looking at other blogs. I LOVE nails!

So here I have a color block mani! I've been wanting to do one of these for awhile but I didn't know what colors to use. Then inspiration came in the form of my new Fossil Purse! This must have been fate because it corresponds with the nail art competition from More Nail Polish! She asked for a mani that had been inspired by something!

I used tape to make the lines as straight as I could!

Red: OPI - Red Lights Ahead...Where?
Brown: Revlon : Espresso
Blue: OPI- I Have A Herring Problem
Top Coat: Seche Vite

Here they are:

My inspiration:

So excited about these! It took me a long time. I hope you like them.

Love, Bethany

This was really hard for some reason. I felt like I was team captain for dodge ball and I was choosing between my friends :(

Spring Time

I am so ready for Spring! I decided to do a spring flower bouquet mani! I'm also entering this in Ooh Shinies nail contest! 


Base: OPI - Stranger Tides
Stem: China Glaze - Holly-Day
White Flowers: Revlon - White on White
Yellow Flowers: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure- Yellow Kitty
Orange/Coral Flowers: Essie - Tart Deco
Top Coat: Seche Vite

 Stranger Tides by itself:

Don't you love Spring Flowers?

Love, Bethany

Blue Blazes

Blue is my favorite nail polish color. I'm addicted to it. Here I use a blue that I've had for awhile with a new China Glaze from The Hunger Games collection. 


Blue: Revlon - Royal 
Flakies: China Glaze - Luxe And Lush

Here is Royal by itself (2 coats):

Of course, I had to matte it with Essie - Matte About You

Oops, my thumb is cut off!

The application of Luxe And Lush was a little difficult because it was very thick. Also, it left a very bumpy texture when it dried. One matte coat smoothed it out, but I don't know how many clear top coats it would take.


It's so pretty that I don't mind the slight difficulties. What do you guys think?
