Splatter Mani!

Here's a mani I did following The PolishAholic's tutorial. Honestly this shouldn't have been so darn difficult for me... but it was. Moving on!
I didn't tape my fingers nor did I spray the polish out the right way... So to say this was messy is quite the understatement, LOL. I did find an easier way though - put a drop of polish on finger, and proceed to blow it out with the straw.
I think something's wrong with me, haha.
So I used Maybelline's Eternal Snow (it's reaaaaaaaally old!) as a base, and for splatter colours I used Avon's Nailwear Pro in Tangtastic, The Face Shop's YL702, and Cara's 206. I really dislike how Asian brands give their polishes numbers instead of names >:(
I based this mani on summer-y colors, woooo ! I also did this in like late June, haha.

Toodle-loooo ~

Prom Nails (I found em!) & Stamping.

So I was casually looking through my camera's memory and boom! There's my prom nails. Honestly, I thought I took the photos on my phone, which I've been doing a lot since it gives more accurate colors than my Nikon, sadly...
ANYWAYS, here's a double swatch type post. First off is a scotch tape mani from a tutorial over @ Chloe's Nails, that I used for my Jr. Prom - it features two coats of a white nail polish from Avon, and two coats of a pink Korean nail polish from a store called Cara.
Major bubbling happening here! Seriously, what went down? I noticed Seche Vite sometimes does that to me. I'm pretty sure I need to just stop shaking the bottle :P
Anyways, I totally didn't execute this well, and the pink was WAY more fake Barbie than I hoped. It looks fine in the photo, but the photo lies! D:<
OKAY, next up is one from another one from the Cara store, from a brand called Nail Colordium. Definitely was too plain for my taste (though I LOVE THIS COLOR, OHMYGOSH)
Stamped with my Bundle Monster plate to make up for it! I used another Nail Colordium polish with this.
 I'll probably edit this post later when I figure out which plate I used, and if anyone asks I'll put up the names (or numbers) of the polishes I used.

Till next time :)
