Be Mine

Here's another quick Valentine's Day manicure I did.  I know it's a little late but...I still love it!! This idea was actually my husbands and I have all these pastels so it seemed like a good time to use them! The execution is stupidly easy.  I skittled my nails with different shades of pastel and then used various shades of marker to write cute little Valentine sayings on them. Did you know that the conversation hearts now say things like "text me", "LOL" and ";)"? I guess everything has to evolve!! I didn't top coat these after I added the marker. I've heard some people don't have issues with top coat and Sharpies but I didn't want to risk it so I top coated, then let them dry, then added the marker!  I hope you enjoy them!!

butter LONDON Kerfuffle

This is a simple swatch post for you of one of butter LONDON's upcoming Spring colors, Kerfuffle.  I REALLY love this color. It's a pastel peach but it's just peach enough that it's not pink and just pink enough that it's not orange.  I have issues with peaches when they're too orange and then the pinker ones make my hands look weird so this is a perfect combination.  This is two coats and it was a dream to work with, much like most of the other butter LONDON colors I have.  It dries shiny and it wasn't streaky or patchy like pastels can sometimes be.  I love pastels and this one is PERFECT for Spring. It has a very vintage vibe to it which I think is part of the idea behind their new line. It definitely does remind me of sweets and macaroons and earlier, simpler decades!!. :)

Are you excited for the butter LONDON Spring line? What are your must have colors?
