Twinsie Tuesday: Something New

11:52:00 AM GoingtotheShowing 11 comments

This week's theme was fun! Something new! I've never featured this brand on my blog before and it's my first time using this polish, so I hope you'll enjoy this!

You'll have to excuse my poor little nubs. I have been trying to take care of my nails because they have been so extremely thin. But here is butter London Fiddlesticks.

I have been using different base coats and strengthening polishes but nothing is really working for me right now and I'm not sure why. My nails are so thin that when I scratch myself, it would literally bend back, and when it bends, it doesn't even hurt because they're so thin. So I'm looking to take vitamins. Does anyone here struggle with this at all?

Fiddlesticks is a gorgeous color and I knew I had to have this right away. The glitter in this is so lovely! Unfortunately, it's a topcoat eater. I did 2 coats for this, but I feel like it could have definitely used another coat. If I remember correctly, I think this came out with the past 2012 holiday season collection, anyone know for sure?

How do you like Fiddlesticks?

Twinsie Tuesday: Splatter Mani

8:00:00 AM GoingtotheShowing 15 comments

My apologies for missing last week. If any of you have taken a summer course, you would know that it's a pain in the membrane!

This week's theme was a real challenge. A while ago when I first started blogging, I did a splatter mani, you can see that here. After attempting that not so great one, I decided that I would never ever do a splatter mani again. 1. It took way too long to try to get the splatters right, 2. The clean up was pain. So here is my new and sort of improved version besides the knick on index.

I tried to mattify it, but the mattifying top coat that I used took so long. But I hope you like this look. The whole free hand splatter probably doesn't look at legit, but I enjoyed this and adore the color combo! Let me know what you think!

Twinsie Tuesday: International Choice

8:00:00 AM GoingtotheShowing 15 comments

I'm feeling better and for this week's challenge, I went sort of bland. I know and Ireland has many more things to know but I was out of creative juices.

This challenge was suppose to be something inspired from Ireland, and for all you Irish readers, you can tell I was inspired from the colors of their flag. Interesting enough, the colors of their flag is the same as India. I wonder why.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this and represented you Irish readers well!

On a side note, you can tell my nails are super short and not looking like it usually does but my nails have been peeling so very bad. They're super thin and frail. What do you use for times like this?
