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??

Spoiled by Wet N Wild's New "Spoiled" Nail Polish! Review

   Colors are one of the most interesting things, for me, in this world. Wet n Wild has definitely got some awesome outrageous colors in their nail polish lines! I have loved Wet N Wild since I was just a curious tween venturing into make-up. I have found their stuff to be of great quality at a great price!  
    I recently sauntered into my local CVS Pharmacy and came across Wet n Wild's newest nail polish line, Spoiled. I was ecstatic! Of course you can get these at one of Wet n Wild's usual amazing prices, $1.99, and in many awesome colors! I left that day with a brilliant neon yellow/green Spoiled nail polish called "Did I Dye it Too Blonde?" and a poppin' sort of neon pink Spoiled polish called "Tip Your Waitress".

Tip Your Waitress

Did I Dye It Too Blonde?

    Eager to slap on a coat or two of Wet n Wild's Spoiled nail polish and test drive these marvelous colors I opted to go with "Did I Dye It Too Blonde" Spoiled nail polish first.  I was so anxious I even applied my first coat while waiting to pick my kiddos up from school!

This is one coat I applied while waiting  on the kiddos.

     Now this color just absolutely rocks for me! Its a perplexing color that, to me, is truly a mix of yellow and light yellow green. It pops not only in the bottle but also on your nails! However I have found it VERY difficult to capture the true nature of this color on camera so please over look any differences as I have tried my best to match it up! :)
   Let's get down to the nitty gritty. As gorgeous as all the colors in the Wet n Wild Spoiled nail polish line are, how do they hold up?  The first thing I want to address is the applicator brush.

 As you can see its a nice thick brush that flattens out wider so with just one to two swipes you can cover your entire nail.  
    The polish its self isn't too thick or thin and goes on smoothly. It has a rich creamy texture. "Did I Dye It Too Blonde" has a high sheen when you first apply and dries to a more matte finish. One coat covers decently and layers quite nicely. It is fairly opaque. I am currently wearing three layers and it isn't thick and rubbery like some nail polishes I have tried in the past from various brands.

This is three coats.

    I've been wearing this for a couple days with minimal chipping and it has done well to hold up to the life of a mother of four boys. There are a hundred reasons why I love Wet N Wild and I think I just found one hundred and one. I love that it is so bold and eye catching! Then there is the added bonus of reliabilty of Wet N Wild products! I've been gushing to everyone about this line of nail polish and will be headed back to get more colors! 
    These are definitely a polish to try with 12 lovely shades to try from. You can't beat the price and the quality is just as wonderful! 

REVIEW Kiss Stick-On Strips

   Wild. Elegant. Cool. Hot. Stunning. Chic.You name it & I love it... on my nails! I am constantly changing the color/design on my nails. I look for fun innovative products for them as well. I came across these Kiss Stick-On Strips at my local Dollar General while perusing for some household essentials. The colors & designs were so eye catching I just fell in love. Hen & Chicks got my full attention though. Neon orange & pink with zebra stripes just screamed summer at me. And since I can't stand the cold I figured I'd summer up my nails. :)

Day 1 just applied

Day 1

    

     I've enjoyed other Kiss nail products (excited to see them continue to expand their brand as well) over the years and have come to expect great quality from them. Kiss nail products' great quality is matched by their awesome prices. Check out their site for more details- www.kissusa.com
     For 3 bucks I got 18 strips of varying sizes. Kiss Stick-On Strips boast application in 3 easy steps & stay put power for up to 10 days. So once home I began my process. I cleaned my nails with alcohol & picked out my 10 strips. I applied them closely to my cuticle, foldeddown the end & filed off the excess. I have a tendency to bite my nails if they're not painted or well manicured so theywere quite short when I applied them. However application was easy. Please do remember to clean your nails with alcohol prior to applying!
     Now that the Kiss Stick-On Strips were on it, was time to show them off & check their stay put ability Kiss Stick-On Strips didn't feel awkward like I had imagined at first. It was really no different than having paint on my nails. I received lots of compliments on my Kiss Stick-On Strips.

This is day 4

     I wore them for 4 days, did about 5 loads of dishes (by hand) with the Kiss Stick-On Strips on plus all my normal daily mommy stuff. Not one chipped, peeled, cracked or tore. At the end of day 4 I took them off only because I was ready for a change. The Kiss Stick-On Strips had lived up to all that Kiss had claimed.

Day 4

      I spoke with another lady who had purchased some as well. Her Kiss Stick-On Strips had been on for 9 days and looked great! I plan on purchasing some other designs to give a try.
      My overall take on the Kiss Stick-On Strips is definitely positive. I recommend all nail fans give these a try. With all the designs, there is something for everyone!
