Round Nails

My daddy is home from the hospital. Of course there's still a long road of recovery ahead. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!

On to the nails: I felt like round nails so I cut all my nails. Now I miss the square ones. Lol! This is the crackle that Lizzy sent me!

Base: Essence - Nude It
Then Essie - Matte About You (because I knew the crackle was going to dry matte)
Crackle: Nabi - Hot Pink

The essence polish bubbled. Sigh. But it's okay because the crackle covers it up!

Love, Bethany

Enter My New Giveaway!

So this was going to be my 100 follower giveaway but I surpassed 100 followers before my first giveaway ended. So it's just the 100+ giveaway. I hope everyone likes the prizes. You have a chance to win Whimsical and Cinderella again if you didn't the first time ;)

Craving Glitter

Lizzy and I must be soul mates because at the same time she was sending me Essence - Choose Me, I was buying it at Ulta! I now have two bottles of the stuff. I thought it needed a little more glitter, so I sponged some onto the tips (and by tips I mean almost 3/4 of the nail. Lol.).

Base: Essence - Choose Me
Glitter: Finger Paints - Art You Wondering
Top Coat: Seche Vite

I would wear this a lot if I was a mermaid!

Love, Bethany

Girly-Girl Challenge Day Five: Gotta Love Chick Flicks

I know I just posted a few minutes ago, but I can't contain my excitement over this challenge!

I have two favorite chick flicks, so I decided to do them both!

The first is Runaway Bride starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. She abandons a total of four grooms at the altar.

Black: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Black Out
White: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - White On
Bride's Skin: Essence - Nude It!

Here are the four grooms and the bride! She's wearing pearls!

(Btw this essence gave me no trouble! It was great!)

The second movie, my all time favorite chick flick is While You Were Sleeping staring Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. There's a scene where they're slipping and falling on a big patch of ice. Here are my ice nails:

I layered four different coats of polish for this:

1 Franken - Angel Wings
1 ORLY - Twilight
1 China Glaze - Luxe and Lush
1 OPI - Glitter-ally The Best Silver Ever

Let's all go watch our fav chick flicks now!

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
