Sephora- chupa


I felt like pink. I don't do my nails often enough to do pink Wednesdays but I LOVE pink on my nails, I'm not sure why some people like reds some neutrals I get into pink now and then, I guess it makes me feel girly. I topped it with a random old glitter polish because I tea wrapped my left middle finger and it came out bumpy. I plan on cutting my nails again after thanksgiving anyway but just wanted them to last until then.
I got these mini sephora polishes about 1.5 years ago on sale I have alot of the reds and pinks. This color kinda makes me think of barbie I probably would have liked it a bit warmer but its a nice tone regardless. I applied it sloppy and yea I know I need to work on making the applications better.

color-Sephora- chupa
ease of application- kinda difficult probably could have used a little thinner
additional color- super old bath and body works glitter.
top- Revlon no chip top coat.

china glaze uptown metro collection- brownstone




I am totally in love with the china glaze application very little clean up needed and this is me not really applying that professionally. I really like this color very fall like and very creamy and opaque I could actually have done one thick coat of this, above is 2 coats and the front on picture is with some color correcting while the bottle shot is without and its just my dining room light illuminating it

Minted



I started with Revlon Minted, its a great color... I did a HORRID job applying it.my excuse is my beautiful daughter Athena. as soon as I get my first coat on she starts up... I pacify her and quickly start on the 2nd coat and 1/2 way through she really starts whaling. I guess I don't polish well under pressure... and then after that I messed up my tips picking her up etc.... sooooo I decided one way to cover it up would be to do a marbling... how come my simple pleasures you tube channel makes water marbling look so easy??? mine looked NOTHING like hers.... I don't know what I did wrong it was pretty discouraging. I wont say that I will never do it again. but its going to be a while... the polish wasn't spreading and then when I applied it it was all bubbling on my nail. :(.... so I decided to stamp the other nails using BM20 from the first stamp set. and add some orange dots. overall i am not that impressed with this mani, but its staying at least for a few days because I dont have the energy or time blocks with my infant to redo my nails again so soon...

I did a recent trans design haul.... I know I said I wasn't but I justified it and a girl has got to have some pleasures in life. The color is nice I actually did a BAD stamping job on this about 3 days after the initial application but didn't photograph it. I am slowly getting better with the stamping... my sweetie bought me the 1 bundle set so I have lots of stamping plates to use!!
