Coconut Crushed

Scented nail polishes are usually awesome, but sometimes you end up with a horrifically scented one. When I saw Revlon's 'coconut crush' on the shelf at a CVS, I thought it would smell as it said, like coconuts. Wrong. The scent is hard to put into words, but I would advise against it if you like the color. You can probably find a similar one somewhere else.



I tried to cover the smell with a few layers of 'party of five glitters'.

While at Rite Aid this past Tuesday, I saw a display of new Wet 'n Wild fast dry polishes. Very happy! I picked up 'Ebony Hates Chris' and 'Party of Five Glitters'.



Two coats of the black, and one super thick coat, and one normal coat of the glitter. Love them both.

This is what happens when you forget to upload things from your camera. I've had a couple of these for weeks now, but forgetfulness overcame me until tonight.


I did this for October 20th's 'wear purple' day. I used a franken purple, a halloween white, and Wet 'n Wild black.



Several months ago, I had gotten those cool looking layered nail polishes at Claire's. Unfortunately it did not work out very well, so I decided to shake the bottle. This lovely purple was the result. I then used a bundle monster plate over it with a Wet 'n Wild black.



This will probably forever be my favorite manicure. I used a Wet 'n Wild pink, Halloween bottle white, and Wet 'n Wild black. Mostly bundle monster plates were used with the larger bat from a Coraline Konad plate.


This is another polish I've had forever, but just recently have I been warming up to nude polish colors. Bundle monster plates were used with this, though not very well. Wet 'n Wild black and a silver Pure Ice for the crown.


This is from today. I think I love Hot Topic glitters. I used three coats of this teal glitter, and it has been on my nails for 2 days now with almost no problems at all. I'm very surprised, as most times, my nail polishes do not last through a night at work.


Hoping to get back into the swing of things, photos and all, as most of these are quite recent. Until then, later days!

Back, back, back!

Been on vacation, come back home. Yes, I've been neglectful of here. I've got a ton of new stuff, and I'll get around to taking photos of them soon. For now, here's a little backlog.

Pretty Pink Flowers

I feel like I've been getting very lazy with taking photos. This one is most recent, though. From yesterday!



I bought the very sheer pink at Walgreens on Monday, and finally got to use it. I first used two coats of Wet 'n Wild's 'break the ice', which is becoming a real favorite of mine. I then used two coats of Sinful Colors 'glass pink' and then Konad plate co2 with Maybelline 'pink shock'.

I've got a few other new polishes, and am going to try out the new glitter I got on Monday as well. It doesn't look like much in the bottle, but hopefully it will look better out. Until next time, later days!

Puttin' on the Glitz

I've been on a little bit of a glitter kick recently.



After a long time searching, I found this bottle of Wet 'n Wild's 'glitz' at Wal-Mart on Sunday. I was so happy, as it was the last bottle, and I had been unable to find it until then. I used two coats of another Wet 'n Wild, 'break the ice', and then three coats of 'glitz'. I wish it was a little bit more glittery, but oh well.

While shopping at Target today, I had found that Sally Hansen has released a very similar glitter, but it had darker blue flakes in it compared to this one.

Well, until next time, later days!

Bite the Bullet

It's taken me a while to hunt down this color. Every time I'd been to Wal-Mart, Target, and Rite Aid, they've always been sold out. Finally, I got a little bit of luck and managed to pick it up at a Target.



I used two coats of 'bite the bullet' over one coat of Wet 'n Wild 'hush hush'. On top I used Konad plate s10 and Sally Hansen 'celeb city'. I'm so happy I finally tracked it down.

Until next time, later days.

Gold and Brown

I had picked out the Konad plate/design before I decided on a color, but I think it turned out fairly cute. Even if it appears that one nail got chipped mysteriously.



Used four coats of Wet 'n Wild 'goldmine'. It's really sheer, and finally after four it looked good. On top of that, I used Konad plate s10 and a franken made from an ancient Lancome (gasp!), Petites 'shimmer bark' and a few drops of a random black to darken it.

Until next time, later days!

Flowers and Bunnies

I've been getting behind on photos and posting. Not that there's anyone reading, LOL. This is from this past Sunday.



I wanted to keep it light and delicate looking, so I used one coat of Wet 'n Wild 'break the ice' and used an unnamed Rimmel for the lovely purple flowers. Called it a day at that.

Due to a couple of my nails being super thin at the tips and peeling, I forced myself to cut them off and start anew. This is the aftermath.



I used two coats of Petites 'black diamond' and a bunny and cross bones decal. 'Black diamond' is fantastic. It has the look of Milani's 3D holographic polishes. Really fantastic. Petites brad can be bought at Rite Aid and Wal-Mart (I think).

Well, until next time, later days!

I end up doing my nails practically every day, but don't always take photos of what I do. Mostly because it doesn't turn out as I hoped, or it gets chipped while at work... This one is from Tuesday.



I used two coats of Wet 'n Wild 'sparked'. It's a bit gritty, even with a top coat, but I like it. It's a sweet dusty pink glitter with a bit of silver mixed in as well.

Until next time, later days!

More 3D Holographic

While out last week, I once again found myself in front of the Milani display at CVS. They were fully stocked, but I decided to only pick up one more 3D holographic.



I used two coats of Wet 'n Wild 'french white creme' and two coats of Milani 'HD'. It's a fantastic silver, but I thought it looked strange on its own, so I used Rimmel London's 'black satin' and Konad Coraline plates c01-c05.

Until next time, later days!

Today I have to show off the ever-popular cheap brand, Wet 'n Wild. I picked this polish up at a new Wal-Mart in town this past week.



The name is "night prowl". It's a black base with purple glitter in it. That photo is two coats. Once dry, it feels a little rough, but a top coat of seche vite smooths it out a bit, though still with a touch of roughness. On the thumb, middle, and pinky, I used Konad plate m60 and used Sally Hansen "celeb lights".


I know I am not very good at painting my nails. Maybe one day I will get better at it. Stay tuned for tomorrow and future posts!
