Round 31 of Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

We've come to the last installment of Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas for 2016! And uhhhh we may have forgotten to post this earlier so let's be honest, I'm phoning it in for this round LOL!!

We went with a simple glitter and dotticure, perfect for NYE. The polishes I used were Wet n Wild Black Creme, Cirque Never Nude, Halcyon, and Helios.

I applied 2 coats of Wet n Wild Black Creme to my nails, except for the middle nail, which was dressed in 2 coats of Cirque Helios. Then I used Cirque Never Nude and Halcyon for my dots on my ring finger. At first, I wasn't sure about the gold with the nude and rose gold but I really liked it together!

Happy New Year! And be sure to check out Alaina's BTN!

Wet n Wild Lettuce Be Friends

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose Affiliate Link

To round out Wet n Wild week, I have Lettuce Be Friends from the Summer Sizzle 2016 collection.

This is more of a minty green than a lettuce green but either way... I like it. 2 coats with a nice formula.

I've said it multiple times but the Wet n Wild Megalast polishes are some of my very favorite from the drugstore. They have great formulas and are very consistent.

I have another Summer Sizzle Wet n Wild polish to share with you today! This is Split Pea Soup, and I mean, what else is there to say about this color other than it's perfectly split pea soup colored.

I used 2 coats; the formula was great and it covered evenly.

I did want to mention that I bought these at Rite Aid and right now, Rite Aid is having a 25% off sale with your Plenti Points card plus free shipping on all orders over $34.99 through 10/8/16.

Wet n Wild Cali Sunshine

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have a few Wet n Wild polishes to show you this week, all from the Summer 2016 Nail Sizzle collection. I've had these for a few weeks, thinking they were from the fall collection but alas, I was wrong, lol!

Cali Sunshine is popcorn butter yellow. Or maybe a sunshine yellow, ha! This was sheer and even on 3 coats, I could still see my nail line but you have to know that I just LOVE this color and the formula was good.

Twinsie Tuesday: Chevrons

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose P

We are doing some chevrons today and I cheated a bit because I was off on my Twinsie Schedule and did these last week, thinking I needed to do this post for last week. So.... here is a reminder of the color I posted last Tuesday as a refresher: Wet n Wild Kiss My Mints, two coats, great formula. I LOVE this color!

Then I added the new Finger Paints Holographic Top Coat and some KBShimmer Chevron nail guides and did some chevrons and random dots.

Simple and cute, right? I love these colors together!

Wet n Wild Kiss My Mints

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have a quick nail of the day on super nubs to share with you! (This is why I paint my nails: I pick at my nails when they aren't painted!)

This is Wet n Wild Kiss My Mints from the.... Spring 2016 collection, I believe. A minty blue creme, 2 coats and a very nice formula. I added one coat of Topped with Love by Love, Angeline and boom. Done.

I LOVE this color! How do you feel about mint??

Twinsie Tuesday: Gradient + Stamping

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Well the time has come for my least favorite of prompts: stamping. Ugghhhh I'm so bad at stamping. I thought about skipping this week but I don't have a good excuse for skipping this week, lol. So here I am. Trying. 

I started with a few Nine Zero polishes from the new Roy G Biv collection. I used Dispersion (the yellow) and Frequency (orange) for my gradient. These were really easy to use in a gradient, they were opaque and covered well in about two gradient coats.

Then I used my Born Pretty Store stamping plate number BPL-029 and used the daisy image with my Wet n Wild Black Creme polish to attempt to stamp. Guys. IT CAME OUT PERFECTLY! I was completely shocked. I almost posted this the night I did the art because I just couldn't wait to tell anyone and I was just so excited! I realize this is a simple stamping look but it's basically amazing for me! 

This gives me hope! I did you my clear stamper from Born Pretty Store and that DEFINITELY helped. I have to see what I'm doing! LOL 

Also, even though I purchased the BPS items that I used, I do have a discount code for 10% off your order at bornprettystore.com with the code FEL91. This isn't an affiliate code, just a discount for you :)

Twinsie Tuesday: Romantic

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today we are doing Romantic Manicures. I recently purchased one of the new Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel polishes in Stay Classy and thought that would be the perfect base for this prompt. This is a really pretty mauve color. I am consistently impressed with Wet n Wild polishes, they are opaque in 2 coats and have really great formula's. The 'gel' technology doesn't really matter to me so I didn't test this for wear time but I love the color!

Then I added a heart spiraly nail vinyl and another WnW Megalast in Haze of Love (which I didn't realize until typing this up, lol. How fitting!)

Whatchu think?

Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel Cyantific Method

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I recently purchased one of the new Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel polishes (you will see that next week) and liked it so much that I bought 2 more! One of the polishes I bought the second time around is this baby, Cyantific Method (haha that name cracks me up!) This was 2 coats, without topcoat. These polishes are super shiny and so far I am so impressed with the two colors that I've tried so far.

Have you tried the new Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel polishes?? If so, what colors have you tried??

Wet n Wild Here's To The Wild Ones Polishes

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have 3 of the Fall 2015 Wet n Wild Megalast polishes to show you today! This collection is made of 6 polishes but I only purchased 3.

These Megalast polishes are consistently pretty fantastic. They have a wide brush, which I tend to like and the formula's are almost perfect! They are such a great find from the drugstore at $1.99!

Stop and Mel-The-Roses is a dark red. This was 2 coats plus topcoat.

I Moss Have It is a mossy green shimmer. 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Pop Up Bluetique is a bright cobalt blue shimmer. You should all know how I feel about these types of colors by now :) 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Again, these all had perfect formula's and were very very close to being opaque in one coat. I highly recommend checking out any of the Megalast polishes, core or limited edition!

Be Me Nail Art Pens - Review!

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have a review of the Be Me Nail Art Pens, which were sent to me by Be Me/2B Colours. These pens are pretty cool because instead of just having a small striper brush for drawing, they have a full sized nail polish brush and the other side of the pen/color has a pen tip. I personally never use my stripers because I just don't have a very steady hand when it comes to small lines so I LOVE the pen tip on these!

I used all of the colors in the manicure and since we all know how terrible I am at free hand anything, this design makes no sense, lol. My base is Wet n Wild Black Creme, my favorite black polish of all time :-)

Then I went to town and started drawing and dotting and swirling. I didn't use the brush applicator at all and honestly, I probably won't ever use that part of the pen, since I love the pen tip so much.

Now, I will say that some of the caps are very difficult to pull off of the pen, like you need both hands and all of your strength difficult! But once the caps were removed the first time, it was much easier to remove them thereafter.

You can purchase the Be Me Nail Art Pens on Amazon, Walmart.com, and MyQuestStore.com!

Starrily Dunk Me Maybe

Hey guys!

This post is about Starrily!

When I saw black and white circle glitter, I had to have it. I didn't even fully inspect the polish to notice that there was donut glitter in the mix! LOL

Dunk Me Maybe, one coat over Wet n Wild Love Me Some Muscles. I'm not the biggest fan of donut glitter, but ya'll know how I feel about circle glitter so I will have to live with the donuts. MMmmm.. donuts....

This is going to be a great topper over so many colors, i need to play with it some more!

Have you tried Starrily yet? They have an awesome Custom option on their website!

Wet n Wild Love Me Some Muscles

Hey guys!

This shorty post is a bright little Wet n Wild polish from their summer collection. This is Love Me Some Muscles, and it's a bright coral pink! I used 3 thin coats here.

Kind of a simple color and not terribly unique but still really pretty!

Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas!

Hey guys!

Alaina of The Little Canvas and I are back with another round of Bestie Twin Nails or BTN, for short :-)

This time, we chose to replicate this look that is unfortunately not credited and the link it was pinned from is... well... Pinterest won't let you go to the site because it's been flagged for inappropriate content. SO! If you know you did this manicure, let me know so I can properly credit!!

I chose to use similar colors as the original pin, using Squishy Face Polish Dusty Rose as my base color and then Zoya Tomoko for the gold and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Wet n Wild Black for the accents. I used some nail vinyls for the lines because I'm terrible at straight lines, lol.

I quite liked these! I need to practice my striping but it's not terrible looking, I don't think. I am definitely enjoying our BTN, as it's helping me to come out of my comfort zone with nail art. Baby steps. Baby steps! LOL

Go look at Alaina's nails because they are really pretty!

Wet n Wild Night Prowl with Jordana Confetti

Hey guys! Happy Wednesday! This is a Pink as I get for Pink Wednesdays, apparently! LOL!

Wet n Wild Night Prowl is a black polish with a fuchsia microglitter throughout. I used 2 coats, and it did dry a little bit matte. There is no topcoat in these photos. 

And because I can never leave well enough alone, I added Jordana Confetti, which I received in a swap from Stephanie. This was one.... or two coats. I can't remember and my notes are waaayyyyy out in the living room, ha.

So pretty and pink!

January Untrieds: Revlon Cayenne and Wet n Wild Flossy Flossy

Hey guys!

I have a few untrieds to share with you today! So does Amanda!

Revlon Cayenne is a polish I received in a... swap? Secret Santa? I can't remember, honestly.

It's a tomato red creme. This covered very nicely in two coats and the formula was very good. I think this is the first Color Stay Revlon that I've used; I was impressed. 

 Then, I added two coats of Wet n Wild Flossy Flossy from the Fergie collection. This was very very thin; I did not care for it like I was hoping :-( I really am not a big fan of super thin polish. Which is a shame, because this could be very pretty, but honestly I was not in the mood to deal with it so I think I gave it away, lol.

China Glaze Make A Spectacle

Hey guys! Happy Tuesday! And go Vote! And then we can finally stop talking about politics, please! LOL

Quick post today, featuring Wet n Wild Root of All Evil and China Glaze Make A Spectacle, from the ChG Wicked 2012 Collection.

I wasn't going to pick up Make A Spectacle at first, because it looked similar to Snowglobe, from last year's China Glaze holiday collection. Upon further inspection, however, they are not dupes and I could therefore justify my buying MAS :-p

I used two coats of Make A Spectacle over ROAE. I love the blue under this glitter!

I definitely think that if you can find MAS, you should get it. And since Halloween is now over, you'll probably be able to find it on clearance!

Wet n Wild Root of All Evil & Poison Ivy

Hey guys! What is everyone up to this weekend? I think I will be.... I don't know what I'll be doing today! Probably something terribly exciting, i.e. laundry, cleaning, etc. Haha!

Oh, don't forget to set your clocks back tonight! Yay for an extra hour of sleep! LOL

Today I have two shade from the new Wet n Wild Megalast collection "Pick Your Poison". Technically, I think this was a fall/Halloween collection but I don't care that it's past Halloween, I'm still showing you these babies!

I used two coats for both of these polishes. 

First, Root of All Evil. This is a gorgeous bright cobalt blue creme with the most beautiful, subtle shimmer.

Next, Poison Ivy. This is a perfect blackened green. 

By the time I went back to get another color from this collection, they were all gone. Boo! Did you snag any of these beauties?

Glitter Layering with China Glaze

Hey guys!

Today I have some pretty glitters that I layered the China Glaze On Safari polishes I showed you last week.

Kalahari Kiss with Wet n Wild Glamorous from the Fergie collection. 1 coat of gold delicious glitter.

Wet n Wild Hollywood Walk of Fame of ChG Purr-fect Plum. The stars are not fun to apply as it did take some fishing but come on, sometimes you just need stars on your nails. 

Ulta Indigo-Go Girl on ChG Man Hunt. Indigo-go Girl is a lavender glitter. So yeah, I love it. 

Catrice Million Styles Topcoat in Million Dollar Baby over Exotic Encounters. Gold flaky glitter = winning! 

Not the most original combinations, I know!
