Twinsie Tuesday - Marching Orders Take Two

Hello! Before I begin I want to welcome both Amber from Nails Like Lace and Roisin from Cuti-CLUE-les to Twinsie Tuesdays. We also Heather from Peace, Love & Polish joining us the third week of June. Give these ladies a warm welcome - each has an amazing blog and skills that deserve some serious recognition. :)

Today's Twinsie topic was marching orders. I received my marching orders from Traci from DrinkCitra, who ordered a summer inspired manicure with glitter. Nothing screams summer more to me than a neon pink manicure or pedicure. I layered three coats of China Glaze Shocking Pink (Neon) and then topped it with a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust. I looooved this mani, although the wear time on this one didn't make it all too long. By the next morning I could feel Shocking Pink lifting from my nails. I'm going to attempt this again, but maybe with a different base coat.

Make sure you check out all of the ladies and see who had to come up with what ;)

Twinsie Tuesday - Inspired by Another Blogger

Good Morning! Today's post was a tricky one.....inspired by another blogger. There were SO many people that came to mind that I didn't know how to narrow the choices down. After thinking about it for a few days I went to my helmer to pick a polish and it clicked. Before I started blogging I was pretty much obsessed with LetThemHavePolish. So much so that when she posted her Bettina swatches I took the first opportunity to purchase them when an email address was provided for a contact at Bettina. I picked out a bunch of polish, all which turned out to be amazing. For today's polish I chose Bettina Starfish, a bright orange crème that seemed just right for the 90 degree weather we had the last few days in NY. The formula on Starfish is almost a one coater. Two coats really pulled everything together.
