Sponged Leopard

Hi! So I wanted to do something colorful and fun today :) I think I saw this over on Chalk Board Nails but I'm not sure... But yea, I remember seeing this somewhere and I thought it would be to try and replicate :)

I started off with one thin coat of Bettina Clouds, and then using a cosmetic sponge I sponged on the different colors. Afterwards I stamped a leopard print using a white polish.

I don't think this turned out that great but I still like it :)

Thanks so much for reading and be sure to let me know what you think! :)

Tribal Nails!

Hi everyone! So I finally got around to doing tribal nails! :)

I started off with two coats of Bettina Clouds, which is seriously the best white I have ever used. All of the whites I have tried in the past are nasty, streaky, and look like I painted my nails with white out.  The formula on Clouds is amazing and smooth...  It's a "real" white but it's... soft... like, not as stark. It's amazing and so pretty...

Afterwards I sponged on a bunch of different colors and then stamped on a fun polynesian-esque tribal print.

Thanks so much for reading and let me know what you think!

• Base Color: Bettina Clouds
• Sponged Colors: Orange- Bettina Art Deco Orange, Yellow- Bettina Art Deco Yellow, Navy- Bettina Indigo, Red- OPI Red My Fortune Cookie

Zoya Crystal Layering Combo+Stamping

Ok, so I discovered this awesome layering combo the other day but before I tell you what it is, I am going to quickly show you my NOTD :)

Ok, so the combo is layering Zoya Crystal over a navy or indigo color. For my Friday mani (I have Youth Night on Friday and I like to have my nails done for that) I wanted to use Crystal but for some reason I think it's a little too.... light(?) on it's own. So, to give it more depth, I layered it over Bettina Indigo. I am in love with this combo! This is two coats of both Crystal and Indigo.

In other news, my last post (my spooky meadow one) was accidently published too early (it didn't even have any photos yet) so in case you didn't see that, you can click (HERE). Also, I am experimenting with bigger pictures because my dad saw me looking at this one blog and he mentioned that he liked the size of her pictures. So be sure to let me know what you think! Big photos?? Or go back to my smaller ones??

Anyway, thanks so much for reading and be sure to let me know what you think! :)

Gradient/Sponge mani take 2! :)

Since I loved my last gradient mani so much, I had to try it again... this time with stamping! :)

Despite my off centered stamping, I think this turned out great. I think the colors work nice together, and I love the image.

Haha, and yes, I used Bettina again.... I don't know... there is just something about their polishes.... whenever I get ready to paint my nails, I always gravitate towards them first.... lol.

Anyway, thanks for reading and be sure to let me know what you think! :)

Awesome Two Toned Tropical Mani

I am in love with my nails at the moment(:

Ok first of all, this mani is so much more vibrant in real life. Second of all, I <3 two toned mani's!! Haha, I seriously can't stop looking at my hands. I absolutely loved the way this turned out. And since this is super summer-y, I have a special fall mani post ready. It should be up on Thursday:)

Let me know if you like(:

Bettina Art Deco Orange

This is seriously the best orange I have seen in a while....

Art Deco Orange is basically a vibrant red orange. So pretty. For me, it's hard to find a good orange color and this is perfection. My photos don't do it any justice. It's much more bright and red-ish in real life. The formula on this was buttery smooth and extremely opaque. Dry time was average. Like my other Bettina's, Art Deco Orange dried shiny(: This is two thin coats.

I also wanted to mention that this works fairly well for stamping. Not over darker colors, but over lighter ones. You can see it being used (HERE). 

So, what do you think?? Like it?? Don't like it?? I would love to know! :)
