Alphabet Challenge: B is for Butterflies by Orly with Blonde Bombshell and Blasted Gold - Swatches and Review

The lovely Gosia from Life In Color started a new nail challenge and I am so excited to join in!  Check out her post HERE for all the details and rules, but in a nutshell, we are posting our polishes in alphabetical order by color name.

I went bonkers with the letter B for todays mani!

I started with 3 coats of Orly's Butterflies. I picked up Butterflies recently on clearance in Sally's for $2.69! I'm so glad I did! I love it and I only have a few Orly polishes. It is a gorgeous coral pink jelly.  I would probably use 4 coats in the future because I still had vnl.  I love the color though and I think it will be great for jelly sandwiches!

  As I was debating adding a fourth coat, I decided on some accent nails instead.  It has been a while since I did an accent nail! It used to be a staple in my manicures!

 I added Sephora by OPI in Blasted Gold on my ring finger and thumbnail.  I was very pleased that it crackled beautifully.  I have used this one before and sometimes it doesn't play nicely with other polishes.  I don't use crackles often, but I am far from over the trend.  I enjoy a good crackle now and then. Am I alone on this? I feel like everyone is over crackles!

Then I added China Glaze Blonde Bombshell on my middle finger.  This is another from my untried stash and I was surprised that the glitter was so dense! It looks like it would give full coverage in 2 coats! I only used one coat and it covered more of Butterflies than I intended. Still fun though!
