Weekly Nail Polish: 7/5-7/12

I decided to give nail art another shot this week with an (in my opinion) uneven, flame type of design.

After an application of two coats of Essie's First Timer (a sea green shade), I lightly brushed a few strokes of Wet n Wild's Magic Trident (a glittery golden-orange shade) focusing on the bottom of my nails.

The finished look gives of a nice effect and I think it also plays with different lighting as well.


As always, I thank you for visiting my blog...have a nice week :)

Weekly Nail Polish: 6/30-7/5

I rarely have a theme for my manis/pedis, however, this week I was very excited to go patriotic and try my hand (no pun intended) at nail art.

What I'm wearing:
*Wet n Wild's Megalast in Root of All Evil (a Shimmery deep blue shade)
*Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in White Out (a pure white shade)
*Ciate's Mistress (a candy apple red shade)

For the designs, I actually used two different sized paper clips as dotting tools. Even though it's not perfect (I never claimed to be an artist), I still love how fun the look turned out.

As always, thank you for visiting my blog.
Have a happy and safe Independence Day!!!!! :)

 

Weekly Nail Polish: 6/14-6/21

 

Since I couldn't decide whether or not to go with a light or dark polish, I mixed.

What I'm wearing:
-Sinful Colors Unicorn-creamy yellow shade
-Sinful Colors New Wave-navy blue shade
-Wet n Wild Gold & The Beautiful-sparkly gold top coat on my ring finger

As always, thank you for visiting my blog :)

Weekly Nail Polish: 6/7-6/14

This week I decided to pair Wet n Wild's How I Met Your Magenta with Revlon's Whimsical...a nice and bright combination, unlike this dreary Jersey weather. But I digress......

As always, I thank you for visiting my blog :)

Fun At The Drugstore

I found out exactly why I don't have my prescriptions filled at my local drugstore....it gives me wayyyyyy too much time to look around....

This Week's Nail Polish: 1/12-1/18

I was very exited to try out a new color that I picked up a few weeks ago from Wet n Wild, Root of All Evil, which is a very rich looking royal blue. On my ring fingers I made a little design using Deadly Dose, a really pretty gold....my only problem is the quality of this polish isn't the best compared to the many others from the Mega Last line, so I don't think it will be used as a base color.

Aside from that I really like the way my nails turned out this week...even with my sad attempt at art.

As always, thank you for visiting :P

This Week's Nail Polish: 12/28-1/4

Ironically, the look I went with for this week also happened to be one that was featured in a recent video by MissJenFABULOUS.

Happy Holidaze & 2% Milk

Dancer Is The Best Reindeer & Silvivor

I started with a colorful take on the french manicure by using 2% Milk as the base color and Happy Holidaze, which is a glittery light blue, on the tips. On my ring fingers I used Silvivor as the base and a coat of Dancer is The Best Reindeer, a purple glitter. All the poishes are from Wet n Wild.

I thought this made a cute way to ring in the new year :)

This Week's Nail Polish: 12/14-12/21

This week I decided to go with Root of All Evil from Wet n Wild's Mega Last line (not sure if this is part of a new collection), which is a metallic deep blue tone, with Kaleidoscope  (also W&W) focused mainly on the tips, which gives off a pretty snowy effect..
I've used several other glittery polishes from the brand, but I have to say, this is certainly one of my favorites!

I'm also continuing my use of the Perfect Formula kit and so far, I really like what these products have done for my nails. I intend on posting a full review once the 60 day period is over.

Thank you for visiting my blog and have a great week!
5 More days until TSO!!!!!!!!

Trying Something New + This Week's Nail Polish:12/7-12/14

Last week while watching one of the beauty shows on QVC, I ordered a 4 piece discovery set from Perfect Formula. I have been quite curious about this brand for a while and since it was a decent price, I decided to go for it. For those of you who are unfamiliar, it gears toward strengthening and conditioning nails. You can learn more about the company here.

The set comes with:
*Gel Coat (strengthening base coat)
*Pink Gel Coat (strengthening and brightening base coat)
*Daily Moisture (helps maintain moisture and balance)
*My Favorite Top Coat (high gloss top coat)

Note: These are not full sized, however, you do get 60 days worth of product.

Some of the reviews made me a little worried, however, so far after having used this for a few days, I'm liking it a lot and am interested to see exactly what each product can do over time. I'm thinking about revisiting this subject after the 60 day period is over.

If you're interested in this set, you can find it by clicking here.

You can also find Perfect Formula at the following locations:
*perfectformula.com
*qvc.com
*sephora.com
*Sephora

Onto my polish for the week-Since I used the Pink Gel Coat, I decided to top it with the pale pink Sugar Coat from Wet n Wild's Mega Last line. It's been a couple of days and they still look great!

This Week's Nail Polish: 11/30-12/7

Yay!!!!!! It's December!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
(...annnnd I'm done.)

Anyway, this week I thought I'd pull out an oldie, but goodie (and somewhat forgotten) Wet n Wild polish-Silvivor, which is a really pretty and shimmery silver shade.I just love how fun this looks and always manages to make me happy and excited when I look down at my hands :)

What can be more of a winter/Christmas shade than silver???


I thank you for reading this and hope you're having a great day :)

This Week's Nail Polish: 11/16-11/23

I'm not exactly a nail polish pro but I do like to play around so this week I decided to be festive with Thanksgiving/Fall inspired colors. For this look I used Sunny Side Up by Wet n Wild (light orange shade) and Cadogan Square by Nails Inc. (camel shade).

Initially, I tried adding a little glitter to the tips but I really like the simplicity of the alternating colors, not to mention this is such a fun look that brings me back to middle school.

Ahhh...to be young again...

Anyway, have a wonderful Tuesday, or Thursday depending on how you look at it ;)
As always, thank you for taking the time to read my blog.

This Week's Polish-10/19-10/26

This week I wanted to have a little fun for our big anniversary date night so I used a few different polishes.

From nails Inc., I used Elizabeth Street as a base, which is a nice pale pink. Following, I used Sally Hansen's Shimmering Lilac on my tips along with a coat of Wet n Wild's Sparked for a pretty glittery look.

On my my feet I did a similar look only on my big toe with the rest painted with Shimmering Lilac

.

All in all  think it came together quite nicely (and very girie!)

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have a great week!

NOTD: Glitter Tips!!!

I decided to wear Luminary by Sinful Colors again but this week I added an extra coat to make it a little darker. Instead of pairing it with Sweet Dreams, I painted my nails on my ring fingers with 2% Milk by Wet n Wild and added glittery tips using W&W's Gold & The Beautiful and Sparked.

What I love about this look is that it doesn't have to be perfect, great for someone like me who can't do a french manicure to save her life.

It's fun, girly, yet nice for dressy occasions. In fact, I think I'm going to do something similar in a few weeks for my sister's baby shower.

NOTD: Red Red

I'd been eyeing up the Red Red polish from Wet n Wild's Wild Shine collection for a while but this was my first time trying it out. This is matte true red with the perfect amount of shine to it. It took a little bit of getting used to the brush since it's a little small but otherwise I like it a lot.

NOTD: Metalic Silver

This week I decided to give Wet n Wild's Silvivor a shot and I absolutely love the way it looks on both fingers and toes.

It's a metallic shimmer, which I originally thought would be sheer, but this only took two coats. I absolutely love how this looks edgy yet still girly.
Of course, I also have to mention the low price and the fact that it's fast drying!

I think this is definitely one of my favorites :)

NOTD: Clubin' It!

I am absolutely loving the Wet n Wild Megashield polishes! The color I'm wearing right now is called Club Havana, which was actually just recommended by Emily from Beauty Broadcast as well :)

This is a matte coral with tons of shine...not to mention it's so bright! Perfect for the Spring season!

Cotton Candy Nails!!!

Well, at least that's what they remind me of.

This beautiful weather made me want to go for fun colors so I decided to use Wet n Wild's Megalast in Sugar Coat and their Speed Dry in Teal or No Teal (which was part of their Fauna collection).

I had so much fun with my fingers that I decided to do the same for my toes as well (They need lovin' too!)

It's pedicure time ladies!!!!!

NOTD: Gray's Anatomy

This week I decided to go with Wet n Wild's Fast Dry polish in Gray's Anatomy.

It applied a little more sheer than expected but three coats later, it looks great. What I love about it is how depending on the angle/light, it comes off as different colors. So far, my nails have turned silver, purple, green, and gold. This is by far the coolest polish I own!

New LE Wet n Wild Collection

I recently discovered a new set from Wet n Wild called Flora and Fauna. The name itself is adorable and I think it's a great value for $4.99.

While both sets look really pretty, Fauna pulled me more. The shadows alone come in a trio of a shimmery cream, shimmery teal, and shimmery purple. The rest of the kit includes the Pearlescent Pink (light shimmery pink) blush, Teal or No Teal (shimmery teal) nail polish, and A Glass Confusion (shimmery light pink, almost nude) gloss. These colors are not only perfect for Spring but would be a wonderful gift for someone who has not tried any of the W&W products.

.

I tried this set for the first time yesterday and found the shadows to be not only fun but also (surprisingly) wearable in my office. I absolutely love the blush-it's one of my favorites! As of right now there is no opinion on the gloss...while it is pretty, it seemed to have more color in the tube than on my lips. Next time I'm going to use this on top of lipstick. I haven't tried the polish yet but I do like the color a lot.

So far I haven't seen these anywhere else other than Pathmark, although, I've heard a few people say they're being carried in Fred Meyer stores. If you can find them I strongly recommend picking one (or two) up.

Art Deco Nails!!!!

...aka...my sad attempt at nail art.

This weekend I decided to play around with my art pens and see what kind of look I could come up with. I started with Wet n Wild's Megalast polish in Private Viewing (neutral light pink) and added splashes of

blue polish from Nail Ritz. A Day later, deciding this wasn't enough, I took the pink end of the nail pen and drew some lines and dots as well. Unfortunately, it lightened a lot once it dried so that part isn't as noticeable.
