Twinsie Tuesday: Coffee Inspired - Rainbow Mug Stamping



Since they're many years old, half used, and thickened up (to a nearly unspreadable state), some of my Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes are my favorites for stamping! I used four in this coffee-inspired mani for Twinsie Tuesday:
  • Presto Pink
  • Orange Impulse
  • Lickety-Split Lime
  • Brisk Blue
with Color Club Star Light, Star Bright (no where near as impressive as the first two Halo Hues collections!!) as the holo base, and plate BPL-023 for the stamping.

It is no secret that I absolutely hate coffee. *gasp* I know, shoot me down! I've tried. Many times. And I wish I could like coffee, then maybe I'd tolerate early mornings better. No matter what flavor or how much creamer I use (I've gone 3/4 cup creamer to 1/4 cup coffee even), coffee to me is just disgustingly bitter. I'd rather be forced to eat caviar or sushi....

I'll kill for a Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappuccino, but I've been told those don't actually have coffee in them. *shrug* All I know is they're one of the most delicious things on the face of this earth!

That being said, I opted for a fun mug print mani to make it a little more palette-able.

This is so cute! I'm not a big fan of coffee either, I'm more of a tea girl :)

You don't like coffee?! I'd say that it makes me sad, but these nails are so bright and cheery that I think I can let your dislike for coffee slide :D

Hahaha well thank you! :) I've really tried. It would be great to like coffee, I wish I could!
This is so pretty! I really don't like coffee either...I used to make what I called "poor man's mocha" by putting a packet of cocoa in a mug and then using coffee as the hot water...but I still had to add a lot of creamer, and it just wasn't worth it to me!

It's just so bitter. I can't enjoy it. I'm sure it'd be great some mornings though!
I love this. It's so pretty and colourful!

I bought so many Insta-Dris for their supposed stamping abilities, but I haven't really ever tried them out. Your lovely manicure has made me realise what I am missing out on!

Thank you!! :) Mine are all about half used and getting goopy and thick so they're even better for stamping!
