Cotton Candy Flavored Bubble Gum

Today, I have a fun mani that reminds me of cotton candy flavored bubble gum! Check out this white, blue and pink glitter!...

 

 

 

 

 
Details of this mani:
  • I used 2 coats of Barry M 'Strawberry Ice Cream'
    • This polish is a lovely slightly deeper than 'baby' pink and has a jelly-cream hybrid finish. I had no streaks even with the first coat! 
    • You can find this polish in the UK or if you live in the U.S. you can purchase it here from Harlow & Co. for $7 USD
  • I used 1 coat of LUSH LACQUER 'mr. bubble'
    • This glitter was easy to work with because of the amount of glitter in this bottle. It's considered an 'Indie' polish (not a big name brand & handmade) and can be purchased via their Etsy shop here for $8.75 USD.
  • I used 1 coat of Essie 'Good To Go' topcoat
    • This topcoat can be found at drugstores, ULTA, and online
 Until next time...

Cheers,
Bridget

MABB Weekly Beauty Question ♥

Photobucket


Each Wednesday, the Metro Atlanta Beauty Bloggers will answer a beauty-related question just for fun! This week's question is...


What inspired you to start your blog?

I have always loved nail polish and beauty products since I was in my early teens. One day I saw Rie's blog 'Nails and Noms' (link here) which features stunning photos of nail pictures (and yes food!). I immediately started to use my twitter account again (which like many I started and then forgot about for months because I didn't understand its use and purpose) and I was instantly hooked. I found out about many other amazing nail and beauty bloggers. Soon after I started my blog which has been a wonderful learning process. I continue to tweak my photos and content every so often. I don't see ending my blog anytime soon!

MAC 'Ice Cream Cake' & Barry M 'Silver Multi Glitter'

Hello Readers,

Today, I have a fun girly mani! I used MAC 'Ice Cream Cake' which is a fairly bright cool toned barbie pink and Barry M '338 Silver Multi Glitter' which is a fine silver glitter with flecks of multi color glitters (a pinkish-purple color stands out the most).

Here are the photos...
 

 

 


Details:
  • I used 2 coats of MAC 'Ice Cream Cake'
    • This polish is considered HTF but you can usually pick it up on eBay anywhere from $15-$25 USD
  • I used 2 coats of Barry M 'Silver Multi Glitter'
    • This polish is readily available in the UK but can be purchased online (either directly from their website or on eBay for as little as $5 per bottle)
  • I used 1 coat of Essie 'Good To Go' topcoat
    • This topcoat can be found at drugstores, ULTA, and online

So, what do you guys think? Pink with silver or pink with black always looks so pretty to me! Until next time...

Cheers,
Bridget

Pretty & Polished 'Tart'

Hello Readers,

I have a fun purple glittler mani today on my cute little short nails! I started with 1 coat of OPI 'Planks A Lot' from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection and then added 2 coats of Pretty & Polished 'Tart'. I finished with 1 coat of Essie's 'Good To Go' topcoat (which is my #1 favorite topcoat by the way).

Here are the photos...
 

I love the sheer purple base with blue, yellow, white, pink, and purple glitters! It's a unique mix and one of the few Indie polishes that I like enough to keep (the others I've swapped or sold)! You can purchase Pretty & Polished polishes via her Etsy shop here or on Shop.llarowe.com (here's the direct link). Either way you want to follow her on Facebook here to keep up with sale dates.

Until next time!

Cheers,
Bridget

OPI 'Lucky Lucky Lavender' & China Glaze 'Fairy Dust'

Hello Readers,

So, I've changed my blog layout (after trying out many different templates...). It's VERY me and I'm quite happy with it. Today, I have OPI 'Lucky Lucky Lavender' (2 coats) + China Glaze "Fairy Dust' (1 coat). I think it's very feminine and sweet.


What do you guys think? If you don't have CG 'Fairy Dust' I highly recommend picking it up! It's a very fine holographic glitter in a clear base and adds just a bit of sparkle. Until next time...

Cheers,
Bridget
