Harvesting Some More Oranges: Pure Ice Twinkle & Wet n Wild Club Tropicana

Yesterday I started a mini-series on some of my favorite oranges, corals, and peachy nail polishes. I've been loving these colors lately and have been trying to go through my untrieds.  One thing for certain, I have love all the polishes I have acquired in the past. Not a dud in the bunch yet. 

Today I have two more. Let's start with an apricot-peach with a golden shimmer. I purchased Pure Ice Twinkle from Walmart at least 2-3 years ago. The golden micro shimmer just adds something to this polish and it complements any tanned skin, thereby making it perfect for Spring & Summer manicures and pedicures. This is 2 coats and I had no issues with the application. As I mentioned, I purchased this Pure Ice polish from Walmart and the MSRP is $1.97-very budget friendly.

This next polish is one I have also have for at least 2 years. Wet n Wild Club Havana, a dusty orange cream. It was one of the first Megalast polishes I purchased from Walgreens when Wet N Wild first redesigned the Megalast polish line. Notice the "New" label. I don't know why I was hesitant to wear more shades from this brand. I love the colors, the formula and even the brush. Not to mention, the price is very budget friendly at $1.99. Wet n Wild Club Havana, in particular was a bit streaky, but with a little care, application wasn't a big issue.  

I hear rumor that there are several new Wet n Wild Megalast polishes being released this Spring/Summer, so I am excited to see what the future shades look like. Have you spotted any of the newer Wet n Wild Megalast polishes yet? NouveauCheap posted earlier this year about the 40+ new shades set to be release and I can wait to see them in person.

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

Epilepsy Awareness: Day 7-WnW Thru The Grapevine

Well today I wrap up my week of Purple polishes, showing my support for Epilepsy Awareness. In addition to showing support for fellow nail polish blogger, April and her young daughter, Kaylynn, I've really enjoyed going through my untried polishes.  In doing this I've identified some brands that I really need to pay closer attention to.  

Today is a polish from one of those brands. Today I'm sharing with you Wet N Wild Through The Grapevine. A red-violet purple cream polish. I remember when they first released the Megalast Collection with their Manicurve Pro-Brush. While I liked the colors, I had never been a wide brush fan.  But in selecting this polish for my purple manicure, I realized that I really do like this brush. I achieved full nail coverage in three strokes with almost full opacity in one coat.  I know that many of my fellow nail bloggers have raved about this line and now I understand why.

While I loved this manicure, I wanted to add some bling. I decided on an accent nail with one of my untried Sally Hansen Gem Crush polishes-Be-Jeweled, a purple micro glitter and pink hexagonal glitter in a clear base. I really like this combination.

One of my favorite beauty bloggers, Nouveau Cheap, who always seems to be in the know of the latest products to be released, did a blog post on the 40+ new shades Wet N Wild is adding to the MegaLast collection.  Are you looking forward to purchase any of the new shades?  If so, which shades?

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

We Must Find a Cure! 31 Days of Pink...(Day 10)

I realize I've missed a few days and this personal challenge has given me a greater respect for those who blog daily. So our next Pink in my We Must Find a Cure! 31 Days of Pink is a pink chrome. I love chromes! 

Earlier this year Wet n' Wild released its 2012 Chrome Collection.  It consisted of 8 shades, of which I purchased 5 so far...

In this collection, was one pink, so today I'm sharing with you Wet n' Wild, Chrome Precious Petals. It's a rose pink chrome with specks of silver throughout. 

 

The Wet n' Wild Chrome polishes are great.  The colors are vibrant and if applied properly, you could get complete coverage with only one coat. The only downside?  The price for the size.  They run $3.99 and are only 0.29 fl oz. I did a size comparison and as you can see below, size matters. LOL!  But none the less, I will probably still get the remaining three from the collection.

Have you tried any of the Wet n' Wild Chrome polishes? If so, what were your opinions?

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

HAULIN': Wet n Wild Chrome & Something to note...

Just wanted to share with you some of my recent haulin'. I was in my local Walgreens and picked up 5 of the 8 new polishes from the Wet n' Wild Chrome collection-$3.99 each.  They apply free from difficulties.  These pictures are actually 1 coat, but I would probably apply a second.  The colors shown below are L to R:

• Grew Up In Cobalt-imore (darker blue)
• Stay Outta My Bismuth (similar to Zoya Crystal)
• Precious Petals (pink metallic)
• I Got A New Cum-Pewter (green metallic)
• Hog-Quartz School (purple metallic)

Someone asked if these polishes are good for stamping. I have not started stamping yet, but I am expecting any day now one of my nail art mentors, Rhonda of Nails Beautiqued to have tried them and post. If you are looking for innovation for nail art, check her blog out.  Someone also mentioned that some of these polishes are dups of some of the Nubar/Painted Nail polishes.  If you have any comparisons, please post pictures.

The only issue I have with this collection is the bottle size.  These bottles are somewhere between a Zoya bottle and a Sally Girl bottle, but the price does not reflect a smaller bottle.  Wet N Wild, these are great colors, that need to be added to your core collection but in normal bottle sizes. Please and Thank you.

Have you tried any of the new Wet n Wild Chrome collection? If so, what was your opinion?

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.
