Twinsie Tuesday: Ice Cream Mani

10 comments  
I initially wanted to do like a real ice cream mani but wanted to share with you an untried. With this week's ice cream theme, I present to you, Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream.


I absolutely adore this color! It's a soft milky pink. The best part about it was the application. 2 lovely coats and wam bam! That's it. Because it was a softer pink and a creme, I was afraid that it would come off a little streaky but surprisingly with just 2 coats, it covered perfectly. So if you haven't tried any Barry M's, you should definitely get you hands on some.

Have you tried any Barry M's?

Twsinie Tuesday: Chevron

9 comments  
I'm getting back into the swing of things. But this weeks challenge is a chevron mani and I can't help but admit that this is definitely one of my least favorite manis.


I just love the classic black and white chevron, but I couldn't find my favorite nail art brush and had to use some other one. But, this blue is amazing! It's from the new Wet n Wild collection, Teal Slowly and See. It is gorgeous and I am so glad I picked it up!

So how to you do your chevron manis?

Twinsie Tuesday: Mish Mosh

10 comments  
If you don't know what a Mish Mosh is, it's a different technique or pattern on each nail. I have no idea who came up with it but it was a fun theme! Hopefully you enjoy this!

 

The colors are not showing up true in this picture because it's much more prettier in real life. I didn't have too many creative juices, so I here it is!

Twinsie Tuesday: Something New

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

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

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!
Anna

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?

Twinsie Tuesday: Beach Inspired

15 comments  
Here in the Midwest, it hasn't been warm enough to hit the beach yet. Yeah, it's July and I have only been to the lake once. Boo! Hence the reason why I wasn't too inspired. But it's something!



Sation Board Girl Blue. That counts right? This is just a soft yellow toned blue. The application was ok because the formula was sort of runny but overall, it's definitely a gorgeous color.

Totally random but what do you call a wood that has nothing to do?

A board, a bored. HAHAHA Funny right?
