Maid of Honor Nails

My mom's wedding was beautiful and simple. My nail polish matched my dress: a purple/wine color. Mom's shoes also matched my dress, which was so awesome! She had a short dress that came down just past her knees, so the shoes could be seen. LOVE!

I got my nails done at a nail salon.

Poor choice. I had bubbles on many of my nails. It made me mad because I can do my nails without bubbles, so I should have just done it myself. My mom's nails came out perfectly though, so that's all that matters!

Purple/Wine color: OPI - Diva of Geneva


I hope no one minds that I posted nails that I didn't do myself! I posted the hand that had the smallest bubbles. I'm not sure you can see any in a picture this size. Maybe the one on my pinky?

I have nail pictures of my own coming soon!

Love, Bethany

For The Love of Grey

Guess what? My mom is getting married tomorrow! I'm the maid of honor (and the only bridesmaid)! I'll post my wedding manicure tomorrow if I have time. Here's some lovely grey:

Base: Essie - Chinchilly
Then a layer of: Spoiled - Paying With Platinum



Here is Chinchilly by itself:


This is only two coats. I think it would need three for full coverage. 

Grey is my favorite color of clothing! Do you like grey?

Love, Bethany

    New Favorite Black

    Look at this gorgeous nail polish! No nail art, because this is fabulous by itself.

    China Glaze - Lubu Heels
    Top Coat - Seche Vite


    Black with red shimmer. Genius. 


    Two coats!


    I wish I had put a matte top coat on it before I took it off, but I wasn't thinking. Anyways, isn't it great?

    Love, Bethany
