FINALLY!!

After what seemed like years of endless searching,

I FINALLY found the Wet n Wild 8-pan palettes!

YAY!!

 Blue Had Me At Hello

  

&

Comfort Zone

While Petal Pusher seemed pretty, the color tones in 

the palette do not suit me, so I just picked up these two.

Like WnW's previous palette's, the colors are beautiful and pigmented, 

and I am already hearing talk of some possible dupes.

Here is Blue Had Me At Hello, swatched.

Ignoring the fact that I clearly cannot take a 

decent makeup photo to save my life, I wanted to show 

you this icy blue look I created with this gorgeous palette.

Since the shadows are not named, I've numbered 

them so I can list what I've used.

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden - as base

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Pots & Pans - over lid 

WnW #2 over lid

WnW # 5 inner corner, swept onto lid

MAC in Brule' as transition & highlight

WnW #3 in crease

WnW #4 in outer V

CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara in Very Black (top lashes)

NYX Long Lash Mascara in Electric Blue ( bottom lashes)

I'll be sure post swatches and eye looks of Comfort Zone soon!

Hi everyone!! I just want to wish all of you 

a VERY Happy Valentine's Day!

Whether you are single or taken, 

celebrating with that special someone, 

celebrating with friends, 

or just enjoying some alone time,

I wish you a wonderful day filled with happiness & love!

Weekend Mani

While attempting to clean the house and still manage to

 squeeze in some editing of upcoming Valentine's looks, 

I thought I'd share my weekend main with you

This design was created by Miss80Million,

and I love it so much, this is probably my 3rd or 4th time wearing it. 

I'm always a fan of abstract designs and I LOVE the color combination.

You can check out her awesome YouTube channel

and her blog, here

and be sure to tell her Dolly says HI!

Wet n Wild....you are KILLING me!!

About every 2-3 days, I head out early in the morning, 

and canvas every 

Walgreen's CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Read 

that I can find within a 15 mile area

to see if I'll get lucky enough to find the new

Wet n Wild 8-pan shadow palettes

Not only have I not found them yet, which is frustrating in itself, 

but each store I go into I manage to 

find new little gems of polish just calling to me,

BUY ME!

It's like sending an alcoholic to October fest!

Like a fat kid in a bakery!

Ahhhhhh I can't take it!!

These little bottles of love call to me, taunt me!

I've NO willpower what so ever!

But good lord, my wallet is empty and my shelves are over-flowing!

Wet n Wild, you are KILLING ME!!

This is what I ended up with on today's excursion 

Petites is a very nice brand with minimal color choices, 

but with that being said, the colors they DO have are just so pretty!

Fairy Pink is a blue-based Pink with a fine holo.

It's subtle, but with just enough kick to have to you drooling.

I'm really loving this.

Periwinkle, is just that. A classic periwinkle but this is a dusty, muted version of the shade. Another winner.

Fantastic, smooth application.

Periwinkle would have been fine with 1 coat, 

but I always go with 2.

Fairy Pink builds in intensity with every coat, so I say, 

go layer crazy with it!

These were purchased for $3.99 each at Rite Aid

These Wet n Wild MegaBlast colors are from their Spring collection, 

and this is actually the first time I've seen them in the store, 

so slowly but surely we are making progress here, WnW.

Sugar Coat, is the palest of Pink creams.

She needed 3 coats to get a true opaqueness out of it, 

but it's worth it.

Great for work, great for french mani's great for Spring & Summer, 

this color wil carry through it all, what more can you ask for?

Club Havana. Fitting name. 

When I look at it, I think of warm summer nights in Miami.

This Orange-based coral cream applied wonderfully in a single coat.

Tropicalia. This Pink-based coral is that classic fruit punch color, 

and one of my all time favorites for the summer on my toes.

While these bottles may be tiny,

the formula and color pack a big punch.

and who can resist the cuteness of these bottles?

Clearly I can't.

These were purchased for $1.99 each at CVS

Big Haul

Perhaps it is my eagerness for Spring to arrive, 

or maybe it's just all the great collections that have been coming out,

but I've gone a little polish crazy this month.

Here's another group of polishes to finish out the month with.

The first 2 are from ULTA.

This muted magenta with gold shimmer was in the clearance bin

and have no name tag on it, bummer. 
( just found out the name is "Always A Bridesmaid")

But I grabbed it just the same as the color is really unique and pretty.

The application was flawless in one coat, but I gave it two for good measure.

The 2nd ULTA color is called Limelight.

A Classic Spring Green cream, again, the application was wonderful.

The swatch is with 2 coats.

Then I picked up 2 Art Club's striper's, ironically in the same shades, 

though these are neon versions.

Mod Pink & Go Green.

They are both quite sheer, as most neon's are, 

and I had to go over the swipes twice to show their true color.

~*~

(from left to right)

Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in Mystic Lilac

Petite's Color Fever in Candy Green

Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in Golden Ticket

Mystic Lilac applied quite sheer and needed 4 coats 

to come to it's full potential. 

This oh so popular dusty mauve/lavender color has a twist,

it has green reflective shimmer and

that is the main reason why I picked it up.

While I'm disappointed in the multiple layers, t

he final result is quite striking.

Candy Green had a similar result.

It took 3 coats to get some opaqueness out of it and 

the blue shimmer is a bit more 

understated than I would have liked.

Still, it is a very pretty Green, and I'm always a sucker for Green.

Golden Ticket I picked up for one reason, then name.

(I'm a BIG Willy Wonka fan)

But I was pleasantly surprised by not only the density of the glitter, but just the color itself. And these golden/copper colors work well throughout every season, bonus.

~*~

Love & Beauty, from Forever21 

Jade is a green-based Turquoise with a hint of blue shimmer.

Its both striking in the bottle and swatched.

Great application with just 1coat.

Brown is just that, a classic chocolate Brown cream.

Again, the application was fantastic with 1 coat, 

but I gave it 2 just for good measure.

Yummy

~*~

Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in All Fired Up.

This orange-based fire engine Red definitely appeals to the pin-up girl in me, This screams classic retro.

A single, flawless coat was all it took, and I'm in love.

ORLY's Lunar Eclipse

I don't know why I overlooked this color when 

it was first released with the Cosmic Collection, 

but after having a second glance, 

this bottle asked to come home with me & I'm sure glad I listened.

It took 3 coats to get the love out of the bottle, but it was well worth it, 

and when the light hits this color, it's just stunning.

KISS Nail Paint- Nail art Stripers

Lavender, Aqua, & Hot Pink

These 3 came together in a set and all are opaque creams.

~*~

Brucci in Black Emerald

I had posted a fast pic on Facebook when I first grabbed 

this because I was so taken with it's uniqueness.

 And I said it there, and I'll say it again, 

that I personally think that Brucci is one of the most 

overlooked polish brands to date.

The prices are always reasonable, they have a fantastic 

selection of colors and the application of most, is fantastic.

I know this color came out last Spring, 

but I didn't take notice of it till, it was requested by Karolina,

aka ohfaciq

my YouTube friend that I have been doing Swaps with.

She requested this color, so I picked it up, 

only to realize that this was a real gem. 

Needless to say, I grabbed one for myself too.

At first glance, it is a Blackened Brown, but when the light hits it, 

this AMAZING rich green pops out. 

WOW, Black Emerald indeed.

Gorgeous.

Great finish with 2 coats. 

~*~

 (from left to right)

KleanColor in Jazz Olive

KleanColor in Neon Aqua

Essie in Bermuda Shorts

KleanColor in Starry Purple

KleanColor in Starry Blue

KleanColor in Fuschia Glitter

 Oh yeah! 

I am SO ready for Spring with these colors, 

just staring at them cheers me up and makes me 

forget about the foot of snow we just got slammed with.

Jazz Olive is a shimmery cross between a Spring Green and Olive shade.

1 coat did it with a great application, but as usual,

I gave it 2 coats.

This is a beauty.

Neon Aqua. 

Not a neon shade but still, a bright Aqua cream.

Another color that makes me smile & think of 

breathing in warm ocean air.

2 coats, flawless application.

Essie's Bermuda Shorts came out ages ago 

with their Neon Collection.

This is one of those colors, that always seems to catch your eye,

but for one reason or another you think..

hmmm ok, maybe I'll get you next time.

So, finally after endlessly eyeing it, I just decided to get it.

I'm glad I did, another great Spring/Summer shade.

A little streaky, but nothing 2 coats wouldn't fix.

Fuschia Glitter - Pink Jelly with large Pink hexagons & smaller holo glitters

Starry Blue - Clear jelly with Blue & Silver hexagon glitter

Starry Purple - Clear jelly with purple hexagon glitters

I seem to be on a glitter kick and really into layering as of late.

These work fantastic with the KleanColor shades.

 

~*~

Milani Jewel FX in Gold - 

This is a clear jelly loaded with Gold hexagon glitter, 2 coats

Milani One Coat Glitter in Silver Dazzle -

This is indeed a one-coater, with a nice charcoal gray glitter

 

~*~

720 3D Nail Art Bows (60 of each color)

These are so cute and I can't wait to try them out

I purchased these from E-Bay.
