Today I have another color from my new obsession, Bettina. This is probably my new favorite soft Pink. No, wait, it is my new favorite soft Pink. It's creamy, it's delicious and it's making me hungry for a Strawberry milkshake just looking at it... BTW, have you entered my 500 Follower Giveaway yet? You totally should!
I really wanted to do something really striking and different with my stamping for this one. For this I used Little Drummer Boy by China Glaze. I am madly in love with this manicure. There is something Old Victorian looking about this look and I am really stuck on this look right now :).
How pretty is this Pink?! It is a soft, creamy Pink but with the slightest bit of Purple in it so it is not a washed out tone. Is is similar in tone to O.P.I's Mod about You but this has more Pink in it and also the formula on this is way more pigmented and creamier. I am madly in love with Cotton Candy. My best friend who sent me this was super excited to see me wear it and I think I will be doing a lot of that because it is so flattering and easy on the eyes. Like I said, the formula is sooo smooth, creamy and very well pigmented. I only needed Two coats to get this coverage. I become more and more obsessed with this brand with every color I try! Just amazing. Puerto Rican women are lucky to have access to these all the time. I also think it's so cool that such amazing polish comes from my tiny island!!!
Do you have any international brands you love?

ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful blog!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the pink that I've been searching for. Only two coats? UGH! :x WANT! <33
ReplyDelete@heidi- Two effortless coats I might add. Pastels can be such a PITA to apply but this was easy as pie.
ReplyDeleteYea, the closest shade I have to this takes a good 5 coats, and even then the tone just isn't right. Looks rather washed out. I have about eight polishes that I thought were going to be -the- perfect soft candy pink, but they all disappointed me. Too pale, too dark, not blue enough, too blue.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a couple online mention something about Bettina being too thick (borderline goopy), but I guess your bestie got you nice fresh stock! :)
Heidi- OPI's Mod about you is like one step down from this shade. Unless you already have it and know it not it lol. As far as the formula goes, Ive tried three colors so far that could be a potential pain, a glittery black, a neony green and this pastel pink and the formula was soooo easy and smooth on all three. I'm really impressed. The pigmentation on these is really amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis nail art are so beautiful !
ReplyDeleteThis colour is really pretty and that nail art is stunning! I really love it!!
