Candy- Cadbury Bubbly

I was originally thinking of candy hearts for the theme since it's still February. But an idea came to me while I was unable to sleep one night. I came out to my desk and saw a bar of Cadbury mint Bubbly that my husband gave me for Valentine's Day. I decided it would be perfect!

I did the Cadbury logo on my left hand. I was so excited because I thought that I would get to use one of my many purples that I have that are similar that I don't use that often. Then I got them out and realised that no. Once again I don't seem to have the correct colour purple, which seems to always happen. I wanted to use a shimmery purple, but they were all too much on the red side of purple. Instead I used Desire from Formula X, which is a cream. The lettering is done with Gold Fusion from China Glaze magnetix.

I decided to go with the actual chocolate bar for my right hand. I started with using Mint Tint from Sally Hansen. What a perfect name! I tried to do a blobbicure with some top coat, but that didn't work all that well. I ended up just poking holes in it with a dotting tool and then putting a top coat on and repeating. I'm actually pretty happy with the bubbles since they started off so poorly. I then added a chocolate french tip with A-piers to be Tan from OPI.

America's Rockin' Roller Coast!

Every year since I turned 16, we have gone to celebrate my birthday at Cedar Point. Before that we just went at some point during the summer. But this will by my last time because I'm moving back to Australia and getting married, although last year I was in Australia as well. The mani that I did yesterday was to both to celebrate my birthday and Cedar Point!

I was quite happy how my left hand turned out; especially the Cedar Point logo since I've had trouble with logos before.

My right hand didn't turn out as well as I would have hoped because my cuticles are an absolute mess on the balloons. I do like the cupcake, though. I used different glitter polishes as the sprinkles and it really made it look like a cupcake instead of a lump of white stuff.

For my seventeenth birthday, they even opened a new ride, which is my favourite! (It was delayed for a couple weeks.) My friends and I were among the first few thousand riders and we got t-shirts!

UPDATE: 

On Sunday, I started to notice that the balloons were getting weird looking. The white was getting really dirty and the colours, especially the red, appeared to be melting with the white. On Monday, I noticed that, not only were the balloons worse, but the red on the roller coaster cars and the silver structure of the roller coaster were completely gone! Those three colours (red, white, and silver) were all Wet N Wild Wild Shine. I won't be buying that brand again!

Day 4: Freestyle or Recreate

I decided to go with Lucky Charms cereal for today's challenge. I thought they'd be fun and nothing says Irish more than hearts, stars, horseshoe, clovers and blue moon, pots of gold, and rainbows, and the red balloon! I had to mix a lot of nail polishes to get the correct colours, but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

The first four Lucky Charms marshmallows and a bowl of cereal. (The orange was a mix of Jail Bait and Cream Puff. The light green was a mix of Glowstick and Cream Puff while the darker green was a mix of Glowstick and the Old Navy polish.)

The last four Lucky Charms marshmallows and the logo. (The yellow in the rainbow was a mix of Belsize Park and Cream Puff. The gold was a mix of Belsize Park and Jail Bait.)

The nail polishes that I used. The new ones were the purple called Touch of Class by boe, the "cereal" and background was Cozu-melted in the Sun by OPI, the pink was Ballerina by the Color Workshop, and the creme red was something old that I found in my mom's stash that doesn't have a name or brand on it any more.
