Thank You Readers

Thank you all so much for your kind messages. Reading them really made me feel much better. I've caught up on my commenting and it was very therapeutic to just sit and look at nail pictures. It allowed me to turn off my brain for a few hours.

I have two jelly sandwiches for this post, one is bright and one is pale. I think the pale is the best.

Revlon - Plum Seduction
Glitter: Confetti - Tasmanian Devil

Ulta - Sweet Nothings

Glitter: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength - Bridal Veil

Love, Bethany

Blue Comparison

I realized that I had three very similar blues, so I decided to do a comparison.

Pinky: Ulta - Blue Streak
Ring: Essie - Mezmerised (yes, they spell it incorrectly)
Middle: L'Oreal - Jet Set To Paris

Two Coats of each:

The Ulta took the longest to dry, by far. The L'Oreal was the quickest to dry. 

Here they are with Essie - Matte About You

For some reason the matte top coat seemed to go on best over the Ulta, but that may have been my imagination. I guess I need to get rid of two of these. This was my first time using L'Oreal polish and I was really pleased with it!

Do you see a difference?

Don't forget to enter my first giveaway!

Love, Bethany

Crackle

Here's my newest crackle mani:

Base: Ulta - High Roller 

Crackle: China Glaze - Crushed Candy

Love, Bethany

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

Blue Me Away

I've seen glitter gradients that start from the bottom of the nail instead of the top, but when I saw the reverse gradient on Enamel Girl I wanted to try it!


Blue: Ulta - Blue Streak
Glitter: Spoiled - Jewelry Heist
Top Coat: Seche Vite


My only problem was trying to take a good picture. The glitter is copper, silver, and turquoise. I think it just looks gray in the pictures :(

If you want to see a great picture of Jewelry Heist go to The Collegiate Nail. She has a picture of it in the bottle and it's great!

At least the blue is pretty!

Love, Bethany

Godiva

This mani definitely reminded me of chocolate, and who doesn't love chocolate?


Base: Revlon - Espresso
Gold: Ulta - High Roller
Top Coat: Seche Vite

Yum!

Love, Bethany

Once More With Feeling

This post is the same as the last. The only difference is that it is MATTE.


Matte Top Coat: Essie - Matte About You

Isn't Matte Magical?

Love, Bethany

Wicked Witch

I love flakies! This is my first time using all of these polishes and they're all great!


Base: Essie - Wicked
Flakies: Finger Paints - Flashy

Yummy, right? On my right hand, I put glitter on my ring finger instead of flakies, to make an accent nail.

Glitter: Ulta - Pinata-Yada-Yada

Love, Bethany

Valentine's Colors

This is a Valentine's Day manicure! I used a straw to splatter the pink nail polish. I used a needle to apply the white. This was my first splatter and I, as always, need more practice.


Base: Ulta - Red Carpet Red
Pink: Sally Hanson Insta-Dri - Pink Blink
White: Revlon - White on White
Top Coat: Seche Vite

Valentine's Day is only four days away. Buy flowers for someone. 

Love, Bethany

Read All Over

What's black and white and read all over? My newspaper nails! This is my first time doing these and I love it!


Base: Ulta - Pink-A-Boo (3 coats and it still wasn't opaque, which is annoying)
Top Coat: Seche Vite

The book is William Shakespeare's Macbeth, in case you couldn't tell. It's my favorite Shakespeare play!

Love, Bethany

Glitter Galore

Happy Groundhog Day. Here is some glitter for you! 


Light Pink: Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - Strobe Light (2 coats) and Ulta - Tink-Her-Bell (1 coat)
Dark Pink: Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - Rockstar Pink (3 coats)
Black: China Glaze - Some Like It Haute (3 coats)
Top Coat: Seche Vite
