Do you have Mossy Britches?

Hey Everyone!!!! I am so excited! I just posted the giveaway winners! Congratulations to the two lovely ladies who won my first giveaway! I am so excited it went to bloggers as well, I can't wait to see what they do with the decals. 

It is getting rather late so I am going to make this post short. It is short but it has tons of pictures because I LOVE this polish. I love colors like this!


I started the mani with Nina Ultra Pro in Mossy Britches. I got this from a blog sale though it is said to be dupey to China Glaze Peace on Earth which I already own. I will do a comp when I get a chance but I love the color so I don't mind having both.


I used two coats of Mossy Britches. This was a possible one coater BUT the brush is wonky as heck and was giving me all sorts of troubles. The fan was also on which didn't help matters at all. It had great coverage though so I am thinking that with a normal brush you could pull off one coat. 


I used a coat of Cult Nails Always Winning on my ring finger. The two looked great together.


Except this hand of course. I messed up my ring finger somehow. 


Please excuse my cuticles. I don't know what happened but they started revolting and having a fit. They are still being little brats but at least the one is not red and inflamed and painful anymore. I have no idea what got into them.


I really like this color. I had this mani on when I went to the dentist and she stopped to ask me what it was mid cavity filling. She was so funny, she said I come there every time with all these great colors and she was LOVING this one. I would give it to her when I go back for my cleaning but the brush is way too wonky. 


I think I was feeling bad OR very overly tired because I usually change my mani every night and that night I did not. I can't remember why (yes I know it was only days ago but still) but the point is I didn't change it so I had to change it up a little the next day. 


I used Sephora Brownie which looks way too dark in these pictures and used tape to do my tips.


I couldn't get pictures to show that Brownie was actually brown, all the pictures are showing it as a VERY dark brown. I guess it is but I still wanted you to see the brown.


I finally got the last picture to show it :) 


That's all for now :)

Arizona Ice Tea wannabe

Today I have my rehearsal dinner mani. Unfortunately not only did I not make it to the rehearsal but the mani didn't last that long anyway. Note to self: don't let the bf pack and since he isn't allowed to pack don't do mani before packing. I woke up early so I could do my nails before having to leave to the airport. I figured that while I was doing my nails he could pull out the clothes that needed packing. I didn't anticipate him totally freaking out because nothing would fit in the bag the way he wanted it to. I walked into a room with clothes everywhere and a bag overflowing with only his clothes lol. I thought I over packed! By the time I was done packing I already had a chip which was not cool at all!


I had a great plan for the mani using Jordana Mint Candy as the base. I was going to use Sephora Brownie for the branches and either Orly Spark or Loreal French Tip White for the flowers and those little fimo flowers.






I used the top left image on M66 for the design.


Luckily trying to take all these pictures actually distracted me from freaking out on the plane ride. I am sure I won't be posting many nail shots from a plane lol. I ended using the white for the flowers and then using Spark to put a yellow center in the flower. I used one fimo flower on each middle finger to give it a little extra kick.


Planes don't provide the best lighting for these pictures. Most of the pictures were either too bright or two dark.


I had put some Burt's cuticle cream on earlier so my fingers are shiny.


This mani reminds me of the Arizona Tea cans. I didn't get to take my pretty mani to the rehearsal dinner because we got incredibly lost on extremely dark roads in North Carolina. The girl that gave us directions didn't do a very good job and we ended up about 100 miles out of our way past our destination. It was a long night! I think by the time we made it to our destination I had only a couple fingers left with polish on them. It was nice while it lasted though. The fimo flowers didn't bother me as much as I thought they would. This means I must have more!

That's all for now :)
