As usual, I couldn't decide which of these to  wear first, so I wore them both. Now I think I should have worn just the green one because that is one of my favorite shades of green. The other color is nice too, but is outshined by the green.

**  Como de costumbre, no podía decidir cuál de ellos usar primero, así que me puse los dos. Ahora creo que debería haber llevado sólo el verde porque es uno de mis tonos favoritos de verde. El otro color es muy bonito tambien, pero está eclipsado por el verde.

I knew I wanted a water marble manicure, but I was having trouble deciding what colors to use. Then I looked down at the t-shirt I was wearing, and my problem was solved.

I was wondering what color to wear for my manicure and my eyes found a tote bag that was hanging on the closet door.  I decided to make my nails look just like the bag!
**  Me estaba preguntando de qué color usar para mi manicura y mis ojos se encontraron con una bolsa que colgaba en la puerta del clóset. Me decidí a hacer mis uñas se vean igual que la bolsa!

All of these polishes except for the Bettina are recent purchases. I wanted to compare them as well as put them together for a calming manicure. I think I succeeded - especially after applying the matte topcoat!

Gift from (**Un regalo de) Jossie

COMMENTS | COMENTARIOS:
Lovely Jossie sent me this one as a gift as well, and I absolutely loved it when I swatched it on one fingernail. However, I wasn't loving it as a full mani, and tried to add dots to it. Still not loving it, I gave up and changed my mani... maybe I'll try it again later.
** La preciosa Jossie me ha enviado este como un regalo también, y me encantó cuando lo pinté en una uña. Pero no era amante de ella como un completo mani, y trató de añadir puntos a la misma. ¿Todavía no amor, me di por vencido y ha cambiado mi mani ... tal vez lo intente más tarde.
