Pink Wednesday!! My Best Friend's Wedding Series Edition

Happy Pink Wednesday!!

  Today I have a special edition of Pink Wednesday for you guys. I was feeling "inspired" by one of my previous designs but I tweaked it and improved on it and now this is one of my favorite designs ever.

[HERE] You can see the original look that inspired this version. I just love it soo much! So what I did for this version: I inverted the color of the dots and the bow  and added rhinestones to the bows for a little flash and bling. As my base color I used one of my favorite Pinks ever Sinful's Forget Now. . Then for some extra sparkle I added a top coat of INM Northern Lights. Dots plate: BM19, Bow Plate: Konad M59.

Here is a swatch of the amazing Forget Now. It's a lovely Fuchsia Pink glassfleck shimmer. For this mani I used Three thin coats of color. 

For the next few designs I'm going to be doing some more traditional bridal designs. I have a few very soft and delicate ideas floating around in my head that should turn out pretty (I hope). 

What is on your tips today?

Just a reminder for Bettina purchases!!! Lovelies wanting information on pricing, shipping and purchasing Bettina polishes please shoot an email to janetmrosado@gmail.com (Rosama Distributors-authorized distributors Bettina cosmetics)

I could only fit Four in my collage :( loool... Nice sneak peak right?!

Aqua. This is a bit Greener in person but this is sooooo AMAZING. Everyone needs to see this in person. It's not neon but it is extremely vibrant and Summery and just beautiful. This one is a Two coater.

Orange. This one is an amazing Red based Orange creme/jelly. I flipping love this color. It's like Florida on my nails. Three coater.

Green. The most amazing, shiniest creme/jelly Green ever. It's not quite as Yellow as my picture makes it seem. It's a very "Old San Juan" (Puerto Rico reference, Google it :) building type of Green. Three coater. Lovee!!! 

Yellow. One of my favorite Yellow cremes ever It's the perfect True Yellow. I love this color. It's so bright and cheery. Three coater.

Purple. Lovely, medium toned Red based Purple. Freaking love this as well. Purple. Creme. Perfection.

Brown. True Brown creme. This one is a one coater. ONE COAT! Amazing formula. Great for stamping as well.

  My final thoughts on this collection is that EVERY SINGLE COLOR is AMAZING. They are all vibrant, clean and cheery. The formulas on every single color is amazing. Even though some are Three coaters they dry very fast and they glide on so perfectly smooth. They all dry so shiny all of these pics were taken without a top coat. My top picks are Yellow, Aqua and Orange. Total Must haves!!!

Which are you loving?

Muffin Monday!! China Glaze Electric Pineapple

Happy Muffin Monday!!!

   And I'm running late... Yet again... Buuut! Here is Muffin with her pick for the day!

 I had been really wanting to wear this color again since I had first reviewed it. It's just an awesome "on the verge" of neon Yellow with some Green tones in it. I really just love this. The formula on this color is just a bit temperamental but not terrible. This is Three coats of color and no top coat. I had all kinds of grandiose ideas for this color but when I was done it just did not look good so I won't even show you guys that fail lool.

And there you have my simple Muffin Monday mani!
