For this mani, I used one of my favorite pinks, Wet n Wild Candy-licious and for the ribbon, I used Wet n Wild Through the Grapevine.

V Gap Tip

I'm not sure if there's an official name for this mani or what not, but I hope you like it!


It was sort of hard since the black polish kept bleeding into the tips but I think it turned out pretty good. This mani is super simple and eye catchy! I love it!

I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out, WnW Grammy Gold and WnW Precious Petals. I truly adore this combo! I think it could've been executed much much cleaner, none the less, I had fun wearing this!

Please excuse my absence this past week. The funeral is over with and I'm finally getting into the swing of thing! I'm  catching up on a lot of lost sleep and am definitely going to through all your comments and missed blog posts! Most of these posts have been schedule since I knew I was going to be pretty busy, but I hope I can make it up to you soon!

Thanks for understanding!

Twinsie Tuesday: Fugly Color

18 comments  
This weeks challenge was pretty simple: fugly color.

Firstly, it was hard since I already posted a polish that I truly did not like a while ago and I haven't really encountered one since. So, for this challenge I choose a polish that I really didn't like but it worked and it looks ok as a polish. I do think that it's a nice polish but I have to say that it's not a polish I would reach for again.


Ok, so it's not the pink but the glitter top coat. For this mani, I used Wet n Wild Fergie Tonight's Gonna Be A Night. It was a thick formula but polish thinner did the trick! I really loved it in the bottle but not so much on my nails. I wish I would've looked up some swatches before purchasing. But it's almost the same as, you know? When you go shopping and you see something that looks totally awesome but once you try it on, you're thinking like "what?!". Well yeah, that was definitely me when I tried this one on.

For the base, I used 1coat of Sally Hansen CSM Back to the Fushcia. I absolutely love this color. The formula and especially the wide brush. It's just lovely!

So what do you think? Do you own this bottle?

Wow. I have nothing to say but just look:




This is was indoor natural sun light.

This polish was gifted from Brandi at The Collegiate Nail. Awh! She's such a sweetie! So please check her out.

For those of you who know that Wet n Wild Cady-licious is my favorite pink polish, that might have just changed. After swatching this one, I think this has got to be my new favorite. I love the soft muted look it has to it. The pink'ish coral in this is so sort of muted and elegant but it's such a nice pop of pink. In love. Look at how glossy and creme-y it is!

Wet n Wild Tropiclia, I believe is now packaged in the new'ish type bottles. Which I am sure you have seen around by now. The formula was perfect but those darn Wet n Wild brushes really suck. If the brush head wasn't so bad, this could've been opaque in 1 coat. But because it created bald spots, I had to go over it. Or maybe it was my poor application but how many of you are annoyed and irritated by their wonk-y brushes?
Wet n Wild, please change this! 

So what do you think of Tropicalia and WnW's brushes?

China Glaze For Audrey Comparison/Dupe

13 comments  
Hola! It's Wednesday and I am super excited for this weekend. Tomorrow is my little family photo shoot, YAY! I can't wait! I have got to find something for my little guy to wear. And this Saturday, I'll be attending a wedding and have nothing to wear, so that'll be an adventure. I definitely need to find a day specifically only for homework. Maybe tomorrow morning/evening or Friday. Only 4 weeks of summer semester! Yay! I might be swamped with essays since I have 3 5 page essays plus a midterm and final all in 1 month. YAY (sarcasm) don't you just love school?

Oh, sorry for the last Twinsie post. As I reread it, I realized that it didn't make any kind of sense. I was sort of in a rush. Uberly sorry!

But today, I have this awesome ChG For Audrey comparison for you!

Left to right:
Barry M Blue Moon, China Glaze For Audrey, WnW I Need A Re-fresh Mint, Ulta Mint Condition



Ok, yeah. I know Barry M Blue Moon is way out of the picture. In my head, I was like "YEAH! Totally it could definitely go with For Audrey!" After I compared it, well... You can evidently see above the result.

So let's get on with it now since we've got that settled with. If you don't know, China Glaze For Audrey was created in tribute to Audrey Hepburn and Tiffany & Co. For Audrey was inspired and famous for that beautiful Tiffany Blue. I can't compare the 2 actual blues but from other photos that I have seen, they look pretty close. Although close, the famous Tiffany Blue has a color trademark so I'm sure it won't be dead on accurate.

I would say that Wet n Wild I Need A Refresh-mint is closest to China Glaze For Audrey. I Need A Refresh-mint is a tiny bit darker, but from a far, you could not be able to tell the difference. Mint Condition is slightly cooler and darker but pretty comparable still. However, the final verdict is WnW I Need A Refresh-mint. With that said, Walgreens is currently having a sale on $1.99 products for $.99! So I picked up this WnW baby for only $.99!

What do you think? Do you own any of these?

Twinsie Tuesday: Favorite Polish

29 comments  
I woke up this morning and didn't even know it was Tuesday. Yikes.  Sorry.

So today's challenge Twinsie challenge is: favorite polish.


I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this post.


This is WnW Candy-licious, 2 coats. I purchased this in my most recent haul and swatched it on a nail wheel and truly fell in love. I don't know what it is what this but I absolutely really love this one. It's probably now my go-to polish. Well, it was either this one or OPI Japanese Rose Garden. It's like a modern, flirty and vibrant kind of pink, hence the reason why I love it. While I really love the color, I had a hard time with application due to the brush. For most of the part, I really like wide brushes, but one was like "WHAM", just way too big (or maybe my nails are small?). Thankfully, I am willing to work with it.

So what do you think of WnW polishes?
Anna

I am excited to see what the Twinsie Ladies favorite polishes are!

Weekend Mini Haul

7 comments  
This weekend seemed like it went by way too fast. How sad.

First off, I'm sort of sad because I didn't have time to do any Easter nails. So happy belated Easter to those celebrate the day that Jesus rose from death to life. Maybe next year I'll have something special! In the mean time, I have a tiny haul to share with you all.



My total for 3 Revlon lip butters, 1 EOS lip blam and a Revlon polish came up to be only $15.27. I actually went to Ulta because they were have an awesome sale for Revlon, Almay and Physicians Forlmula and look at this awesome deal! Good deal you think?



I am super excited that I spotted the LE Wet n Wild collections! I can't tell you how lucky I felt considering the fact that the Midwest barely ever gets anything. Anywho, I only purchased the Fauna collection because I felt like the colors were more wearable. Then I finally found Downtown Browns! I never thought I was ever going to get my hands on these, but I'm glad I did. This palette has such beautiful purple and browns. This is definitely a palette worth investing. Unfortunately, unlike regular WnW 8 pan palettes are $4.99, all of the Black Radiance 8 pan palettes are $6.99. Bummer, however WnW has great pigmention considering the price. Well, I hope you can get your hands on these!

Did you buy anything over the weekend?

Twinsie Tuesday: Jelly Sandwich

20 comments  
Good morning! This week’s Twinsie Tuesday Challenge: Jelly Sandwich.


This week's lovely theme were jelly sandwiches - on our nails! I should add that I sort of cheated. Although, I have never done a jelly sandwich; 1. Glitter removal is a horrid process, 2. I don't own too many jelly polishes. So hopefully you all would enjoy this. I personally feel sort of blahhh on it.

3D? Sorry for the cuticles. It was the top coat that I added too much. It flooded my cuticles and was peeling.

I sort of cheated because I used a tiny more opaque color for my base. However, I kind of like the way that this turned out. If you look closely at like it, it almost looks 3D, like the glitters are popping out at you. I really liked that part about it. The rest was so,so.

For the base I use Wet n Wild Tickled Pink. For the glitter I used Milani Gems. For the jelly, I used Sally Hansen Shell We Dance? I actually used a lot of layers. In the order of the way that I jellied this sandwich; I used 1 coat for the base coat, 1 coat of glitter, 3 coats of jelly, then 1 coat of glitter again, another coat of jelly then a top coat. A lot right? But I'm really glad I did the first 3 coats of jelly because above ^^ it looks 3D - to me at least. Oh, and does it sort of remind you of Candy Shop from Deborah Lippman? So, I guess the jelly sandwich wasn't too much of a fail eh? What do you think of it?

Have you ever tried jellying sandwiches before?
