New Favorite Brown

I picked this up in Ulta on the sale rack. I LOVE it. I found out this this is the second version of this color. The first version was a holo.

OPI - My Private Jet
Top Coat - Seche Vite

Tell me you love this as much as me!

I looked up swatches of the first version and I like mine better!

Love, Bethany

Essence

If you read my last post, you will notice that I tried Essence Nail Polish for the first time. The first polish came out great, but I had a LOT of bubbles in this one. I don't think it was anything I did because I didn't use a base or top coat, but that's always a possibility.

Essence - Let's Get Lost (adorable name)

Can you see the bubbles?

So then I decided to add some glitter and it made it all better :)

Spoiled - My Saturn Broke Down

Thank goodness for glitter!

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!

1 Coat Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Strobe Light

2 Coats ORLY - Twilight

1 Coat China Glaze - Love Letter

1 Coat Seche Vite

Yes, you read that correctly, 7 coats of polish!

What do you think?

Sad

Ok so my blogger is still fighting with me. Sometimes it lets me log on, but most of the time it does not. Hopefully it will start working. Sad face :( I can't tell you how much I've missed posting and commenting!

I decided to include two different pictures in case I can't post again for awhile.

First:
Base: ORLY - Le Chateau
Shimmer: ORLY - Twilight

Le Chateau is actually a very dark green jelly. Can you tell that it's green?

Second:

Zoya - Neeka

I love this one

I've been so upset about my blog that I haven't even done my nails every day :( . Pray to the blog gods!

Love, Bethany

Blogging

My poor blogger has been on the fritz (isn't that a great phrase?) and I haven't been able to post. Now I can though! I have nail pictures saved up from the days I couldn't post. Here is the first!

Base: China Glaze - Knotty
Glitter: Nicole - A Million Sparkles

I put most of the glitter on the tips and then spread some down the nails. 

This is my first time trying glitter that isn't round. I don't love it. But I love you readers! Sorry for my absence!

Love, Bethany
