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

I Do Not Like Green Eggs And Ham

But I do like green jelly sandwiches!

Jelly: Ulta - Pink-A-Boo
Glitter: Spoiled - Show Me The Money
Top Coat - Seche Vite

I used two coats of Pink-A-Boo
one coat of Show Me The Money
One coat of Pink-A-Boo
One coat of Seche Vite

I'm definitely addicted to Jelly Sandwiches now! Are you?

Love, Bethany

I bought this bright China Glaze and it dried matte like Turned Up Turquoise. I didn't like it matte so I didn't even take a picture. Here it is shiny:

China Glaze - Flying Dragon
Top Coat - Seche Vite

The tiny blue glitter is my favorite part!

Then I added Essie - Shine of the Times

Yum!

What do you think?

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!

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
