A Few Wet n Wild Goodies

I had a spur of the moment shopping trip with my oldest son today. So I decided to swing by Walgreens and check out the Wet N Wild sale I had heard about. Much to my dismay I had swung by late in the game and lost out on what I'm sure was some fantastic goodies.  While trekking my eight year old through the makeup isle where he would shake his head at the many seemingly torturous items, I did find some pretty sweet goodies to add to my ever growing collection. Thought I'd lay out what I got in a quick over lay before giving you the detailed low down about each product this week.

I happened across a meglast polish & top coat set. Gorgeous color- I Red a Good Book.


Then a fabulous set of Color Icon lip liner and the ever loverly Purty Persimmon matte lip stick. This I think I am anticipating using more than any other!



And I grabbed two Color Icon Shimmer eyeliners in Copper and Black. In the picture below you can see a quick swatch of these gorgeous liners.

Here's a quick swatch of Purty Persimmon. Haha please excuse the misspelling in the picture. It's late!








And finally here is a quick, if somewhat sloppy, swatch of I Red a Good Book. Luscious red!


I saw a few of the Fergie Collection but nothing I REALLY wanted was in stock. I'm anxious to try the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I know it will probably be kind of a pain but I cant't help but be drawn to it!

What do you all think? Like my goodies? what great Wet N Wild goodies have you found lately?  Comment and let me know!

Oh and dont forget to check back in this week for more details about each goodie!

Let's Mix it Up! Nail Polish Fun.

I adore playing with polish. Whether it be stamping, mixing polishes, embellishments, or whichever.
So this weekend mani I decided to dabble mixing some colors. I used 2 fave Wet N Wild fast dry polishes, Hannah Pinktana & Sage In The City, along with my latest Sinful Colors, Love Nails.
HANNAH PINKTANA

SAGE IN THE CITY
LOVE NAILS
I started with three lovely coats of Hannah Pinktana & gave it some time to dry. About a minute sufficed.


3 COATS
Then removing 90% of the polish from the brush I dabbed Sage In The City spiratically over my nails.

A little dab here, a little dab there.

Giving that layer 60 seconds, I then used the same process to apply Love Nails.
All finished!
Finish with a top coat & viola'! A spiffy effect. I really like the turn out. What do y'all think?
What's one of your fave ways to glam up your nails??

Sinful Colors: My Newest Find

Ok ok. Its been forever since I have chatted it up with y'all about cool & fave goodies. Sorry about that! I've been a super busy momma with lots of mommy type duties & other personal "me" consumers.
But I'm back & I have a stunningly eclectric blue by Sinful Colors polish I picked up at my local Wal-Mart.  I'm a sucker for the bright electric colors of summer. This one was Love Nails.
I've had Sinful Colors polishes in the past & really enjoyed them. Being a momma on a budget I like the quality of these polishes for $1.98.
Their brushes are smaller than I prefer but they're a pretty decent brush. This is a quite sheer polish. I used three coats to get the look I wanted. But I like the slight variations you can achieve with the different number of coats.
I saw a couple more I may have to swing by & pick up in the near future. But for now this one is brightening my days.
Have any of the rest of you tried the summer collection of Sinful colors? What's your fave Sinful Colors.
