Absences and Holographics

Sorry for being absent but I graduated on Saturday and this weekend has been crazy!!

Here is the polish that I wore to take my exams.

A-England - Saint George (2 coats)

Apparently I decided to do a poor job with clean-up. Oops. 

I was so excited when this arrived because I've been craving this polish! I have tons of pictures on my computer of many different nails. It's getting backed up, so I really need to post more!

Pink Is My Signature Color

My title comes from a line in Steel Magnolias. Great movie.

Mani For Less

Pink: Sinful Colors - Glass Pink (2 coats) $1.99

Accent Pink: Wet n Wild Coloricon- Jewels For Your Highness (1 coat over Glass Pink) $2.99

The Wet n Wild mirrors the new China Glaze Prismatic collection. I surprised myself by loving this polish! It's mostly pink with some random colored glitter thrown in. 

Yay for cheap manis!

Why Do I Buy Black Nail Polish?

I like black nail polish on other people but I NEVER like it on myself. So why do I buy it? I have no idea.

Anyways...I didn't fight to get the glitter out in this black jelly. I just stuck my brush in and slapped in on the nail. I feel like that's more accurate than digging around to get a lot of glitter.

Orly - Androgynie (2 Coats)

Added a coat of Essie - Matte About You

There's lots of glitter, so I might try this again and actually work to get it out, but maybe not because, as previously stated, I don't like black. Lol.

First Mani for Less

Unfortunately, I had trouble with this mani because the polish bubbled. Sigh. Not all cheap polishes bubble. I promise!! The matte coat works wonderfully though!

Color: NYC - Lavender Cupcake ($1.99)
Matte: NYC - Matte Me Crazy ($1.99)

Even with the bubbling it is a pretty color. Maybe I'll keep it for nail art.

Love, Bethany

Shes Kind Of Dotty

I loved reading your responses to my last post. The favorite seems to be Manis For Less, but many people expressed that both ideas would be fun, so I'll do both!

Here is a dotted mani with one of my new frankens!

Blue: Franken - Maid of the Mist
Brown dots: Pure Ice - Risk Taker

Love, Bethany

Important Question

I have a question for you guys! I have two ideas for future manis and I'd like to know what you think.

1. Mani's For Less: This is where I show manis for less than $5.00.
2. Double The Fun: This is where I have one base color but the designs on each hand would be different.

So my question is: Do you like either of these ideas? I can't promise that I'd be able to do a bunch of them, because I get bored easily. But what do you think?

Anyways here's my mani for today

Base: Orly - Rock the World
Glitter: China Glaze - Blonde Bombshell

Nail Polish Swap - Two Polishes!

I did a swap with the lovely Kate from This Charming Kate. I sent her OPI Steady As She Rose and a bottle of Seche Vite.

She sent me Barry M Racing Green and Kiko Pearly Chocolate Noir.

Barry M - Racing Green (2 Coats)

Kiko - Pearly Chocolate Noir

Top Coat - NYC Quick Dry

The formula for both polishes was perfect! I LOVE these colors. I especially love the Kiko. Isn't that a fabulous brown?

Thanks Kate!

Love, Bethany
