Mentality-It's A Baby Palette

Hey everybody!!  Thanks for taking the time to stop by!!  I have a treat for you today!!  As most of you know, Mentality is my favorite polish brand.  Today I have their featured palette to show you.  All the polishes in this collection are jelly cremes.  They are all opaque in 2 to 3 coats.  

First up we have 
Peek-A-Boo, a pink tinted jelly creme

Second we have
Delivery, a deep blue toned jelly creme

Third we have
HopScotch, a light blue tinted jelly creme

And last, but not least, we have
Bearing, a deep green toned jelly creme

As always, I love these polishes.  They are going to be great for stamping, I think, and can't wait to try!! If you are interested in this set, or any of the other beauties by Mentality, they can be purchase here. The featured palettes are $20 shipped, super sweet, right!?!
 I have included some extra pics of some little designs I did with these polishes.  Hope you enjoy!!





Until next time...

Sinful Colors-Snow Me White, Curry Up, and Mint Tropics
OPI-I Just Can't Cope-acabana

Here is how it turned out

GOT Challenge-Yellow/Peach

Hey hey hey!!  Thanks for stopping by!!  For today we have a new design for the GOT challenge.  The GOT is Golden Oldie Thursdays.  You are supposed to use polishes that you have had for over a year.  It's designed to get you using polishes you haven't used for a while.  For this one I decided to use
China Glaze-Sunshine Pop, Papaya Punch, and Make Some Noise

Here is the design I came up with

Sunshine Pop by itself

All 3 colors sponge on together

I started off by painting a base of Sunshine Pop.  Then I used a makeup sponge to add Papaya Punch and Make Some Noise.  Then I stamped Make Some Noise on top.  The yellow made the pink look orangish but I like the final result!!    Until next time...
