Wet n Wild: Halloween 2014 Limited Ediction Collection: Pleasure Pier

Hi all! Happy Sunday! Chris is nervous as he watches his beloved Cowboys against the Packers. Apparently, the Packers are the favorites. Well, I'm hoping for the best, but I'll be ready to comfort Chris if things don't go their way.

I have Pleasure Pier, an electric blue shimmer, from Wet n Wild's Halloween Collection. It doesn't really strike me as a Halloween color. When I think of that day, colors like black, orange, red, yellow, and brown come to mind. I used 2 coats in the picture below.

Wet n Wild: Halloween 2014 Limited Edition Collection: Roadwork

Hi all! Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all having a good week so far. I typically have Monday off, so Tuesday is always my first day back to work. Not too bad, because I get to spend more time with Chris and my girls, even though Chris and I are fighting over the PS4. Just kidding (no, but seriously, we take turns lol).

I have a new color for you for you tonight. I have Roadwork, a dark metallic gray from Wet Wild's 2014 Halloween Collection. I used 2 coats in the photo below.

Spoiled by Wet n Wild: My Silicone Popped

Hi all! Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a good start. Today I have another pink color for you. My Silicone Popped from Wet n Wild's Spoiled line (CVS exclusive) is a shiny Congo pink/salmon creme.

Side by Side: SinfulColors Vacation Time + Wet n Wild Casting Call

Hi all! Happy Sunday! Did we all enjoy the exciting football playoffs? Chris and I just finished watching the Cowboys, and it was a stressful game, particularly at the beginning. I'd suggested going to the bar, but he decided to stay home because they lost the last time we went to a local bar. Superstitious. Go Cowboys!

Anyway, on to poliiishhh! I decided to compare 2 polishes that looked very similar in the bottle, Vacation Time from SinfulColors and Casting Call from Wet n Wild's Wild Shine line.

Dallas Cowboys Nail Art, Part II

Hi all! I decided to try Cowboys nail art once again, since today is their last game of the regular season...and I wanted to surprise Chris with it.

Here is the final result.

Nail Art: Tribeca Silver + Through the Grapevine

Hi all! I have something new for you today. I feel like I haven't done any nail art recently, so I decided to try something out tonight. The colors I chose for this look were New York Color Tribeca Silver and Wet n Wild Through the Grapevine.

This is the final result.

Wet n Wild: Halloween 2014 Limited Edition Collection: Happy Hour Hop

Hi all! I have something new for you tonight. I know it's been a little while since I last posted, but this week was a little busy. I decided to start running again (for the millionth time), and I've been going to the gym and running on the treadmill, but I hate it. I hate nothing more than running on a treadmill. It's boring, it's repetitive, and it's draining. I think it's a mental thing. Anyway, the weather in Kansas is below freezing right now and I decided to run outside a few times. Let me tell you, it is hard, especially when it's windy and you're running headwind. I really couldn't have picked a better time to start (cue the sarcasm), especially twice a day.

On to nail polish. Tonight I went with Happy Hour Hop from this year's Wet n Wild Halloween collection, a shimmery royal purple with gold flakes. I used 3 coats in the picture below.

Black and Gold

Hi all! After last night, I still wasn't completely sold on Purple Pizzazz Frost. This morning, as luck would have it, the purple color started to peel off my thumb. Well, this was a great reason to remove the color and go for another bottle, or two.

I went with Masked Beauty from the FingerPaints Masquerade Affair collection, and Black Creme, a Wild Shine shade from Wet n Wild. I was called to work today (it's my day off), and I didn't have too much time. I went with something ultra simple: an accent nail with a different color.

This is the final result.

Through the Grapevine + Matte Me Crazy

Hi all! I decided to try something a little different for tonight's post. My main color was Through the Grapevine by Wet n Wild from the Megalast line. I have used this color before, and it is one I really love.

These are the nail polishes I used for tonight's look.

Lexington Lilac, Through the Grapevine, Pink Bling, Matte Me Crazy

Pit Bull Awareness Day!

Hi all! I have a something new for you. Today is Pit Bull Awareness Day. It is a day to appreciate the dogs who are a part of our family! I decided to try nail art for the occasion.

Here is the final result.

Wet n Wild: Wild Shine Summer Festival Collection - Gyp-Sea Green

Hi all! I have something for you tonight. Wet n Wild released a limited edition collection, Wild Shine Summer Festival. I'd already used Spitfire and Ferris-Wheel Romance, and tonight I decided to use Gyp-Sea Green.

Gyp-Sea Green is a mountain meadow/keppel jelly.

Wet n Wild Fast Dry: Buffy the Violet Slayer

Hi all! I have a something new for you. A while back, I bought a Wet n Wild Fast Dry color, Buffy the Violet Slayer. I have loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer for a very, very long time, and I had to have this nail polish.

Buffy the Violet Slayer is a purple/violet shade with (micro?)shimmer. I thought it appropriate to add the "B" from the BtVS logo using French White Creme from the Wet n Wild Wild Shine line. It's so far to the left because I thought I wouldn't have enough room...lol.

UCLA Football Nail Art

Hi all! I have some new nail art for you today! I'd been wanting to try UCLA nail art for some time now, but I was a little intimidated. I finally got around to it today, since we played -and beat- Cal today! (I went to ONE football game when I was a student. I cared more about soccer back then.) Well, I started last night and I almost gave up, but the idea of giving up was far worse than trying and getting it wrong.

This is the final result. It's not too terrible, right?

I used the following colors for my UCLA nail art.

SinfulColors Twilight Twinkles and Let's Meet
NYC Quick Dry Crown Gold
NYC Long Wearing Enamel Boat Basin
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Cinnamon
Wet n Wild French White Creme.

SinfulColors Under 18 + Wet n Wild Black Creme

Hi all! I have another post for you tonight. I decided to use SinfulColors Under 18, which I first swatched a couple weeks ago. I acquired this red-orange shimmery polish during one of Walgreens SinfulColors sale. I feel like I keep stumbling upon colors I haven't seen before, which is why I always buy in twos or threes when there's a sale.

Here is Under 18 once again. My nails are a bit shorter than the last time I used it.

Milani #1 Hottest Pink + Wet n Wild Black Creme Nail Art

Hi all! I have a new post for you today. I used another untried, #1 Hottest Pink from Milani, which I combined with Black Creme from the Wild Shine line by Wet n Wild.

Here is #1 Hottest Pink by itself. It is a bright pink with microshimmer.

The formula for #1 Hottest Pink was a little difficult to work with. It was very runny, runnier than I expected, so I continually flooded my cuticles. It was a little sheer after one coat, so I applied a second. I liked the brush, which was thin and long. Normally, a brush like this gives me better control, but since the polish was so runny, I had a slightly harder time.

Wet n Wild Megalast: Haze of Love

Hi all! I am so, so, incredibly sorry for not posting! Ever since I started work, I've been going to bed by 9-10pm. I like to get my 8 hours of sleep, especially since I'm waking up at 4:55am to make to the gym. It's been tiring, but great. I am seriously an old lady though. If I'm not in bed by 10:30 at the latest, I get cranky.

Just a little update: Work has been exciting. The best part is when I get to translate for parents who don't speak very much English. It's very rewarding to be able to help them understand what is happening with their children's health.

Anyway, I have a new mani for you. I bought Wet n Wild's Haze of Love from their Megalast line at Walgreens this past week. It is a burgundy creme, and seems to be a great choice for fall. I used 2 coats in the picture below.

Spoiled by Wet n Wild: 2 Weeks Sober

Hi all! It's been a few days since I last posted. I've been a bit busy. I started a new job yesterday as an assistant/translator at a doctor's office, and I'm really excited about it! I used SinfulColors Vacation Time, a pastel pink creme, for my first day. I didn't get a picture of it because I did it in a hurry. It didn't self-level and I skipped my top coat, so it just didn't look pretty.

Today, I decided to go with a color I hadn't tried yet, 2 Weeks Sober from Spoiled by Wet n Wild. It is a French lilac creme. I figured it's office-friendly and a good fall shade.

New Haul: So Maybe I went a little crazy

Hi all! Sorry I haven't posted the last couple of days. As I last mentioned, Chris is sick, and I've been babying him A LOT. I cooked caldo de pollo for him, a Mexican version of chicken soup - which is my favorite thing when it's cold or I'm sick.

Anyway, we went on a little trip to Kansas City today because there's no Kmart or Big Lots in Lawrence. I went a little crazy and bought a few things.

Wet n Wild Fast Dry: SaGreena the Teenage Witch

Hi all (again)! I did a simple mani today, using Wet n Wild Fast Dry SaGreena the Teenage Witch.

I picked up SaGreena the Teenage Witch a couple months ago, but hadn't used it till now. I'm pretty excited about fall, because there's a whole new range of colors to wear, and so many collections are coming out! I do miss summer and its bright shades though.

SaGreena is a really pretty emerald green with a (micro)shimmer finish, perhaps even a frost finish. (I am still trying to differentiate between these types, so bear with me :))

2 coats

Wet n Wild Summer Festival Collection: Spitfire Review

Hi all! I have a new manicure for you and this time, it's a regular mani.

Summer's not over and we still have time to wear bright colors. I decided to go with Spitfire from Wet n Wild's latest summer collection, Summer Festival.

2 coats of Spitfire
