Wet 'n' Wild Fantasy Makers: Once Upon A time.

Hello and Happy Monday!

Today's polish is going to be one that I debated on getting because believe it or not I actually have a dupe for it.

Today I bring you Wet 'n' Wild's Fantasy Makers Once Upon A Time, this is one of the tombstone polishes that Wet 'n' Wild releases every year at Halloween time. I love the bottles shapes from this collection I have only one other Halloween shaped polish  and that is the shape of a coffin from the Fright Night Polishes. That is another polish I possibly have a dupe for, so stay tuned to My Nails. My Polish to see it!

Once Upon A Time is a black jelly based polish that is packed with small round red glitter and larger red hex glitter. I believe that this is another dupe for a Deborah Lippmann polish. This polish should be layered over a dark or black creme polish, trying to wear this by itself is probably going to take many coats to even get near opaque.

In my pictures I have it layered over I Don't Drink Cheap Wine from Wet 'n' Wild's spoiled line.  I did about two coats over IDDCW and put a layer of Sally Hansen Insta Dry to seal it in.

Okay so now for the dupe part! Looking through my stash after seeing this polish was released, I found that Spoiled Ants In My Pants is a dead on dupe! Same type glitter and base, and to be honest its a well duh moment because Spoiled is by Wet 'n' Wild! So if this Halloween Season you cannot get your hands on the fun shaped bottle that is Once Upon A Time, then you can definitely find it as a permanent polish with the Spoiled line.

Okay so that is it for now! Hope you all have a fabulous day!

Spoiled I Don't Drink Cheap Wine

Hello!

Hope you all are having a great weekend. I am spending mine like I always do, at work.

Today I bring you a polish I picked up at CVS from the Spoiled Collection made by Wet 'n' Wild. For $1.99 you really can't beat these polishes, such an awesome array of colors and glitters and finishes. This is called 'I Don't Drink Cheap Wine', and by the name you guessed it, its a wine colored polish. For some reason I don't own many of these types of polishes, but this fall I find myself by more and more of these polishes, and I do not consider it a bad thing. Okay maybe for my wallet it is. :)

'I Don't Drink Cheap Wine' took about three coats to be opaque. the first coat is really streaky, but by the second coat it help cleans it up. When looking at my nails in the light I could see visible brush drag, so I suggest letting each coat dry before adding the next.

This polish has a very nice subtle shimmer to it, sadly its only visible in direct light. As for a description of the color, in the store it seemed more berry looking, then in natural sunlight you can see ruby tones appear.

Okay so that's it for this post. Sorry it so short :( I'm trying to work on some fall designs to put up soon.  Hope you guys enjoyed it. Until the next post!

Let the 7 Day Challenge Begin! Day One: Jelly Sammich!

Hello!

Today I bring you the start of the 7 Day Challenge!

So this challenge consist of 8 lovely ladies and 7 days of challenges ranging from today's challenge of Jelly Sammich to Water Marbling! As it goes we shall be posting every other day and at 6p.m. Since most of us are on EST that's how we came up with the time.

So on to today's challenge. Jelly Sammich. A jelly sammich consist of using a nail polish that is sheer and has a jelly like finish that you can layer glitter in between coats of polish. In this challenge each lady will be able to interpret the challenge in there own way!

Here is my take on the Jelly Sammich. Since none of my polishes have that jelly like finish except for one and I didn't care for it much I found some sheer creme polishes that did the job just fine. To help me out it did put down a layer of white first and then a coat of color to help combat streaky-ness. Streaky polish is my enemy!

I used Simply Sweet Polish in baby pink which I bought at Marshall's before Easter. Then layered one coat of Spoiled Trust Fund Baby. Trust Fund Baby has gold, blue, magenta and black square and round glitter and is perfect for sammiches.

As you can see I missed a small spot on my middle finger. :( oh well. now that I'm down to three nubs I tried to shorten all as best I could except for my pinkies there the only finger nail that grows fast and strong.

I think I will wear this manicure more often with a different color. This makes me want cupcakes with pink frosting and sprinkles now. Also I must go hunt down some jelly polishes as well too.

I hoped you like this post and if you did go and visit the 7 other fabulous ladies who are doing this challenge.

Spoiled: By Wet 'n' Wild. Mind Your Own Beeswax!

Hello lovey readers!

Hope you all are having a great beginning to the week. So far so good for me on my end. I have come to realize I have lots of untrieds to get through and lots of colors in my collection that are not on the blog. So I will be working on those until I get my tax money and can buy some polishes. Right now the drug stores have limited stuff out and my wallet doesn't want to let me withdraw from it....

Anyway, back I believe it was last week I found out through Nouveau Cheap, (you guys know is my go-to for all things beauty related!) that CVS was going to be having a sale on Spoiled Polish. Spoiled Polish is made by Wet 'n' Wild, the sale was that you could get the polish for 2/$3. I couldn't pass it up since I don't own many of them, ( I am now up to four).

I first chose the color I am presenting to you today. Mind Your Own Beeswax! I do not own many yellows, well actually I only own one and that is Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen. Trying to branch out of my comfort zone I chose this, seeing that it reminded me of CG Sunshine Pop from their spring collection.

I don't believe that Mind Your Own Beeswax, is a dupe for Sunshine Pop. Its a build-able sheer. Although since I don't own Sunshine Pop I can't do a side by side check. Honestly I thought it was too sheer. It does have the lovely golden shimmer that Sunshine does though. It took me five coats of polish to get it to opacity and I could still see nail line at times.

The first photo is probably my favorite, that what I was hoping for the polish to actually be. Opaque in two coats and a nice finish between a creme and shimmer. The middle picture is the polish in its true color, a darker, golden yellow. Finally the third picture you can clearly see my nail line on my pinkie and my pointer, and I think my ring finger, the next time I use this polish I will be using white as my base coat or a thin coat of mellow yellow. The drying time on this was not horrible but even though I waited a few minutes in between layers, I still could ding the polish easily.

For a $1.99 or $1.50 this polish is a good buy even if you have to use a solid color base under it. I'm glad to have added it to my collection. If you like to have five layers of polish on your nails then by all means use five, but for me personally I can only stand about three, then drying time becomes an issue.

Hope you all have a fabulous day! Thanks for stopping by!
