When I was picking out colors for today's mani, I really wanted to do something outside my norm. I was tired of the festive red and green for the moment and wanted something as loud as my hair.
I recently had gotten some new Bettinas in bright bright colors. I decided today was the day to wear some of them. We will also be continuing with my layering flakie love as well. Be warned-you will need sunglasses for this!
Here is the required silly bottle shot.
This is Bettina Flame, Finger Paints Flashy and Bettina Garnet. I started with Flame which is exactly what it's name says. It is a bright reddish orange creme and fabulous! It is not a neon. Here it is.

Trust me, this looks like straight orange, but compared to my actual orange polish, it has more red in it. I think it's lovely and loud! I then did two layers of Flashy, which is an orange green flakie. I topped it off with Garnet as my funky. Garnet is a metallic shimmer red orange. It's actually more subtle than I wanted. But overall still freakin bright!!!

Oh yeah-that's what I'm talking about. A bright sunny loud mani perfect for a cold winter's day! I am loving this and got a lot of compliments on it.
