Giveaway Preview: Cutey bracelet inspired mani

Today I have another preview of an item that will be included in my 1000 follower giveaway! Cutey.co.uk was kind enough to provide their Typhon bracelet. If you remember recently I reviewed their Momus bracelet and did my mani that matched. That post got lots of love, thank you for that! I tried to match the flowers on my little finger, but I put a silver background instead to cut down on streaking. I used a lot of different polishes in this mani: Orly, China Glaze, Sally Hansen Prism, Catrice, Wet N Wild, but how do you think it came out?
Big thanks to Cutey for providing the bracelet for my giveaway! Can't wait to show you what else is trickling in for it :)

Cutey: Bracelet Mani

I have a new type of post for you today. Recently I was contacted by a UK company called Cutey; they make charm bracelets and asked if I was interested in reviewing one. Since I am into jewelry making, I was happy to take them up on their offer. I was sent the Momus bracelet. The bracelet is a pandora chain and large holed pandora beads. The Momus has the most adorable little heart charm of a girl and boy kissing. The pink and green beads are glass while the main large cube with pink flames is either clay or a resin. I did a corresponding mani that uses a base of Orly Fancy Fuschia and Essie Mint Apple for my accent finger. I layered flame stamps from the bundle monster plates using Orly Porcelain and a pink Skin Food. I went back over it with a pink glitter to highlight the flames. I mixed a purple and the pink Skin Food over the rose to try to mimic the swirly rose on the bead and the flames on the cube.  On my index finger I did a heart to mirror the pink hearts on the silver beads. I love that the bracelet is sturdy, good quality and colorfully eclectic. This bracelet retails for about $20 and Cutey has free shipping for the UK and are currently running a 10% off code: DISC10 . Great customer service too by the way. I am considering more manis that are themed with my polish jewelry, in posts... does that sound interesting at all?
