Bettina Grape

Good Afternoon Babes! Today I have Bettina Grape from the Candy Collection (which I still need to share swatches of). Candy is a pretty periwinkle blue creme that took 2 coats to become fully opaque. Dry time was really good and it dried to a nice glossy finish. For the swatches below I used Konad ip m78, special white polish, and SV as my tc.

 


Here's Grape on it's own...




What do you think about Grape? I really love this blue, but I absolutely hate my nubbins! This stamp was actually too small for my nails before, so I'm happy to be able to go stamp crazy. However, I can't do this short of length, so I will grow them out to a nice comfortable short length that I'm happy with and can still enjoy stamping. Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you :o)


Kisses
Marketta

    Love Grape! Was sort of expecting it to be purple or something but this periwinkle shade is stunning! I really think short nails suit you by the way :)

      Yeah I was a little surprised that it was blue also, I was expecting a nice unique lighter purple. Thanks, they are a bit unusual for me lol I need a little bit more length.

    You've got nice long nailbeds so your nubbins look longer and not so nubbin-esq. ;)
    Iknow what you mean about the length though, I used to try to grow my nails and they peel. Now I prefer them short as I have come to terms with nature, Lol, but if I accidentally cut them too short for me, they feel & look kind of odd to me.
    I think you picked a really nice pattern to go with this color! I'm tempted to buy the same Konad plate and I've never used any nail stamps before.

    This is a really pretty color. Not what I would think of when I hear grape, but pretty nonetheless.

    The name Grape kinda throws me off but I do love that blue and that stamp! I hate nubbins on myself just because having them short hurts the tips of my fingers. I guess because I am used to having them long? Are you the same way? But the nubbins look good on you!

    Aww, I think the shorties are cute!

    I was expecting the colour to be purple considering the name, but it is a pretty blue!
