Pink Wednesday: I Heart Betsey Johnson

I absolutely LOVE Betsey Johnson! I have a few bags, some jewelry, and wish I could actually fit into her clothing, but alas my hips will never fit into her size 10. I'll just settle for using her for inspiration for manis.


I doubly loved this because of the nautical theme. I triply loved it because it's hot pink, black & White and silver. Just a whole lot of love for this one.


Here's the actual bag that inspired me:

So this is not an actual photo of my bag(because mine is beat to hell), but I do have this bag.
What I Used:
Base:China Glaze-Pink Voltage
Stamp:
Color: Sally Hanse Color Quick Chrome Pen-Silver Chrome Frost
Plates:Chains-BM12, Anchor-BM08

52 Week Challenge:(I hate) Valentines Day

Single or not, I hate the crap out of Valentines day. I'm not super girly, or mushy, or one to like expensive jewelry or roses (ok, maybe some black ones), never been one for PDA, and stuffed animals make me want to puke. Call me cynical or jaded. For me just spending time with the person you love maybe getting some good food is all I need.
So, I did somewhat of an anti-Valentines day mani. Still complete with the classic red color scheme but with a hit of badass.
This was a lot of fun to do! It been a while since I freehanded leopard spots, and the heart & crossbones was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be.
 Making that red color was an adventure in layering on it's own!

  • 1 coat Sinful Colors-Under 18
  • 1 coat China Glaze-Riveter Rouge
  • 2 coats Finger Paints- Flashy
I think it was worth it though, because using all those colors and textures gave the color a great depth, in my opinion. 
I tried my best to moisturize my cuticles, but Winter can't be stopped.

 Also I usually don't wear red, so it was a fun change of pace, that I am really enjoying.

 I hope you guys enjoyed it! :)
