Twinsie Tuesday - Secret Copycat Mani

Good Morning! Since it's Tuesday I'm sure you already remembered that it's Twinsie Tuesday :)  The theme for today is a secret copycat mani. We were each randomly chosen a fellow twinsie and we had to recreate a non TT mani. I was assigned to do a copycat mani from a post done by Anna from Going To The Showing. Anna is such a sweetheart and her nail art skills are amazing! Part of me wanted to take the easy way out and just pick a color that we both own, but then I felt that I needed to attempt what she does best - nail art.

Instead, I remembered an amazing funky french tip she did months back using China Glaze Shower Together and a black nail art polish. Well....mine didn't turn out as amazing as Anna's (which you can see here) but I tried!

I really did Anna's nail art skills and mani no justice. (Sorry Anna! I tried!)

I'm curious to see who everyone else was paired up with. I apologize to whoever had to make a copycat mani from one of my posts :0X

Twinsie Tuesday - Non-Ring Finger Accent Mani

Morning! This week's Twinsie Tuesday theme is a non-ring finger accent mani. I debated about what finger I wanted to use for about a week and then I finally decided on not one, but two accent fingers. I was hoping it would pull this look together a little better for me.

For my main polish I used Bettina 187, which is not color accurate in these photos. In person it's a shade darker and leans more purple/maroon than what it looks here. I couldn't find my other camera, so this was the best I could do. I then used 1 coat of China Glaze Dollhouse for the accent glitter on my ring and pinky fingers. On my ring finger I carefully dotted the glitter, but due to the dim lighting in my room I wasn't as successful with my pinky nail.

I didn't love this, mainly due to the clumped glitter on my pinky nail. So I started over using Bettina 187 and Bettina Flip Flop....

Still not 100% in love. What I am in love with is Bettina Flip Flop, but I won't get into that because I have an entire blog post coming up for it. It definitely deserves it.
