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.

FingerPaints Gumdrops & Lollipops Swatches pt 1.

From the first Press Release of the FingerPaints Spring 2012 Gumdrops & Lollipops Collection, I knew that I had to have them. This is a collection of 6 polishes perfect for spring & summer.  I had been searching for a pastel yellow and a peach.  This collection gave me just what I was looking for and a few others.


Let's start with the first two that I was certain I wanted:


Lemon Sour - described as a Lemon Creme.  With this formula of Lemon Sour I experienced pooling so be careful with loading your brush.  It took 2 coats to achieve the bottle color.  But this color is the exact shade of yellow I was seeking and will make a great spring/summer color.

Next, here's Circus Peanuts - described as a orange creme.  I call it a soft  peach.  I can't hear "Circus Peanuts" without thinking of a former co-worker that also brought Circus Peanuts whenever we would have an office potluck. That was just his personality, LOL! This formula was another that caused pooling so use a light hand.

Hope you like these shades.  How have you started getting ready for spring and summer?

This collection and the FingerPaints line can be found exclusively at Sally Beauty for $4.99 USD.
