I posted this look this week on my Youtube channel featuring the I <3 Matte 8 pan palette from Wet 'n Wild. I had been meaning to post here as well with more pictures of this look. This is what I call the $5 smokey eye. :) This is part of my new ongoing series called the Look for Less on my youtube channel!
First here is the tutorial....
Now onto the photos, I personally love these photos!!!
Soooo I love this manicure for so many reasons. I knew I had to blog about this mani right away. I used Covergirl Boundless Color in Luxe Lilac first.
A great lilac that flashes pink, I knew it would be the perfect base for one of my favorite shades from the new Wet n Wild Ice baby collection color in Its All in the cut. I took some bottle shots!
MACRO (loving this shot!)
Well lets just get on to the mani.
Please excuse the tip wear, I am not perfect. Next here is a blurred picture to show the sparkle.
Gorrrgeous right?!?!?!
Just a gorgeous Light purple with light pink round glitters & holographic shimmers. Ugh I am in love. May be in the running for one of my favorite polishes of all time.
I hope you guys enjoyed this mani, I am really not a pro when it comes to swatching and things, but I hope you still enjoyed and will take it easy on me. LOL.
Hello lovely ladies... First off i'd like to welcome all new FOLLOWERS to my blog!!! I appreciate you following and I really hope you enjoy what I have to offer. Secondly, I am having a Wet 'n Wild giveaway going on here if you'd like to take a look and enter if you have not done so already. Reason for this post.... Well needless to say I've really not been taking too many mani pictures lately. I did though come across a few old mani's on my phone. I thought 'what the heck, let me just post them' (finally).
Well here they are... nothing spectacular... But what can I say.
My only halloween Mani I captured. I just used all of China Glaze Halloween '10 Zombie Zest, Icky Body, and Mummy May I. I really loveeed their halloween collection last year, and Zombie Zest is one of my all time favorite colors ever. I really just loved the way this looked together. I don't do much creative nail art, so I think this is really me in a nutshell.
Next, be prepared for massive case of LOBSTER hands. These pictures make my hands look so red! Ahhh, but I loved this mani!!
Now here we have a glitter SAM'ICH (or sandwich as normal people call it, LOL). For this I used Essence @holographics.com polish in Prism@tic White. An awesome sheer white duochrome that flashes purple and blue. GORGEOUS, perfect type of color for a glitter sam'ich. So I did two coats of the Essence, the ONE coat of Wet 'n Wild Fast Dry in Correction Tape (from the fall On the Prowl Collection). Swatch here! Then I did two more coats of Prism@tic White to tone down the glitter and make a gorgeous, glitter, duochrome SAM'ICH (sick of that yet? hahaha)
Well I hope you enjoyed these mani's, better late than never right? I will be posting a look tomorrow using my NEW LOVE! It's the first part in my LOOK FOR LESS SERIES on my youtube channel. My $5 smokey eye, so be on the lookout for that. Talk to you all soon!

FTC: ALL ITEMS INCLUDED (EXCEPT THE KITTEN SHADOW WHICH WAS SENT BY WNW AS A DOUBLE) WERE PURCHASED BY MYSELF. I WAS NOT SPONSORED TO HAVE THIS GIVEAWAY!
I just wanted to post my video reviews that I have recently done for some new Wet 'n Wild products I was sent. I was overjoyed when I was contacted for a review for them. I have been a fan of there makeup for some time now, and it was amazing as always. Few little complaints but nothing major. I will always recommend their products to anyone that asks. I will also be posting a blog specifically for my giveaway for those who would like to enter, but one of the rules is that I ask you be subbed to my youtube channel, since it is really mostly a giveaway for my channel. If you do not want to sub, i completely understand, but I will have blog only giveaways soon (I PROMISE!).
I split the reviews up into two parts, Makeup & Nail polish. I did this because the reviews wound up being a bit long. Plus the nail polish portion turned into showing you my ENTIRE fast dry collection. I will post the videos, then pictures of swatches following. I swatched my whole collection on a nail wheel, and numbered accordingly.
Now onto swatch photos!!!! I am sorry they are not on my nails, but I feel with my current abilities that this would be the prettiest, cleanest way to show you all the true color! If you have any questions, or want to see anything in a combination for a NOTD please feel free to comment below and I will do your request ASAP!
