ReplyDelete$#@&^! Grrr... you're totally right Lindsey! Can't believe I got the polish names mixed up...fixing it now! :P
DeleteAnd thanks for the sweet comment and telling me about my faux pas! :)
I love the blue and gray gradient!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Rachael! :)
Deleteit looks awesome (short comment I know, but I had to say it lol)
ReplyDeleteHaha! No worries, and thanks Nailderella! :D

ReplyDeleteI know!! Isn't it a weird challenge?! Or maybe it just needs to be reworded a bit. :P
DeleteI love that middle finger. I'm going to have to copycat it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelli, and please do! I like how it's a super easy design but also a good accent. :)
DeleteGreat mani!!! Liking the studs, the gradient and especially that glitter!! :)

Thanks so much Ashesela, and welcome!! Thanks for following. :)
DeleteBeautiful, beautiful skittlette! Absolutely love the colours you chose and how you paired them! I really like how you matched the pastel glitter topper - Girly Bits OVbunEN :) A very unique mix indeed! ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you, I really appreciate the feedback! I agree with you on OVbunEN - I have several pastel glitter toppers but this one is unique amongst them. I can't wait to show swatches of it. :)
