Happy International Coffee Day! Was I being too tmi? Well, what else can you expect from me. I’ve been wanting to paint this exact rainbow coffee nail art for a while because the contrast between the cheeriness of the rainbow-y bar glitter and the wording (carefully crafted by removing the word “smile” from the stamping image) is just too deliciously wrong.
But! (*snerk*) Since I’m all about learning something while also having fun, here’s a quick video explaining why coffee makes you poop. You are welcome. 🤣
Products Used
- Base Polishes:
- Orly’s “Black Holo Chunky Glitter“ with a gradient of Smacker’s “Skellington” sponged on top
- Stamping Polish:
- Uber Chic’s “Essential White“
- Stamping Plates:
- Born Pretty BP-91 (text & coffee cup) and Harunouta L016 (poop)
I really do have a thing for faded out french tips. I like making things peek out behind other things and it worked really well with the bar glitter. Typically I don’t like bar glitter at all, but just this polish works for me.
However, what didn’t work for me was trying this design with a matte top coat. Where did my rainbow go? 😱
Horrifying. Let’s go back to a glossy top coat at more of a distance. That’s better.
Enjoy your coffee today, friends (who drink coffee)! And don’t forget to tip your barista. I have a friend who works at Starbucks and they’re basically getting twice the business and less than the usual tips because all the business is slowing down how fast they can get you your coffee. That’s heartbreaking.
So love your coffee. And love, even more, the person who makes it for you. 🤎☕🤎
What a great coffee mani. TMI time from me…. I am a total coffee nut – I drink between 5-7 real coffees a day, by real I mean bean or ground….none of the instant rubbish! And I like it strong and black…no milk, no sugar (lactose intolerant anyway). We have a mega cool bean to cup machine that is well used. So coffee doesn’t make me poop more – pee more yes! Honestly lol!
Was in Starbucks the other day and picked up a vegan Pumpkin Spiced Latte – that is probably the only non black coffee I will drink and only once or twice a year!
Thanks, Ananka! Oh, wow! 5-7 is a lot of coffee. I used to have a cup every day, but my mug was large so it probably equals more like 2 1/2 cups. I rarely drink my coffee black, but I’m trying to cut back on sugar so I started using butter and/or coconut oil. Have you ever tried that in your coffee?
I have yet to get a season-appropriate coffee. Pumpkin spice sounds really good right now.
It is a lot, probably why I don’t sleep too well!!! Always black for me! Never tried coconut oil, don’t fancy the sound of that! And can’t have real butter.
Oh you should, I think Hallowe’en is my fav and pumpkins and all that! It is very awesome, though sweet!
I do fall asleep more quickly now that I’ve cut back on coffee, but I also added meditation and working out more at the same time. So… 🤷♀️
Gah! I somehow always space that butter = lactose. Sorry! I didn’t fancy the thought of coconut oil in coffee either, but it makes it taste really rich and yummy. I don’t think I could have moved away from dumping lots of sugar and fancy creamer in my coffee without it. Of course, you’re already drinking your coffee in the healthiest form anyway. 😉
