Twinsie Tuesday: Skittles

Hello! It's time for another installment of Twinsie Tuesday! This weeks theme is a Skittles manicure.  A few days ago I bought some microbeads and I thought this would be a great time to use them! The pack I bought had 6 different colors in it. So I started by painting 2 coats of a coordinating polish and then adding the beads. Enjoy!

From thumb to pinky: Nina Ultra Pro Blue La La, Sally Hansen Xtremewear in Lacey Lilac, OPI Fly, OPI Gargantuan Green Grape, and Orly Basket Case. 


They are a little spotty, but for a first time application I think they came out pretty good!!

I'm trying a new background for my photos, not sure if I like it.  What do you all prefer, white or black?

Don't forget to check out the other ladies of Twinsie Tuesday!

    1. Thanks! I didn't leave them on too long b/c things like this usually bother me. I tried another one and they came off after I had some chips! I'll have to try them again though to see how long they last!
