I want a white holo…

12

Another quick post while I have a second to write something. I really need to have some posts ready and scheduled for a couple of weeks ahead :D Been so busy again and on top of all the Holiday madness our little girl turned 3 yrs old and all three kids managed to get a flu. Fun times for everyone…

Sooo to the nails. I’ve been wanting a white holographic polish for a while and haven’t run into one anywhere. After all the Holiday manis and glitter I felt like I needed something fresh and simple and since I didn’t have that pure white holo this is what I did. I applied two coats of F.U.N. Lacquer Diamond holo top coat over Wet n Wild Break the Ice white shimmer and a coat of HK Girl top coat. Not pure white but still a pretty result IMO :)

I wore this manicure for days and now I’m ready for some New Year’s Eve glitter explosion again ;)

Wet n Wild Megalast – Disturbia

1

I bought this polish quite a while ago for a discounted price and I just now got around to using it. Mostly cos I wanted to layer a holographic top coat on it but more about that on Saturday’s post.

This is Wet n Wild Megalast Disturbia. Dark purple with subtle pink shimmer. The shimmer is more visible in the bottle than it is on the nails. Application was good and it took three coats for an opaque result. Shorter nails will get away with just two though. I’m still happy with all the Wet n Wild polishes I have bought. Sadly they are getting harder and harder to find here in Finland :/

For this manicure I used three coats of Disturbia and HK Girl top coat.

Try It On Tuesday: Wet n Wild Megalast – Sugar Coat

1

For this TIOT I have chosen yet another Wet n Wild polish. I seem to have a bad habit of buying cheap nail polish and just putting it in to the drawers without trying it out.

This is four coats of Sugar Coat with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Formula was thin and sheer and the application was quite streaky. I actually managed to get it to look good on three coats but then I went to the stables and messed up the mani a bit. I added a fourth coat and another coat of HK Girl before I took the photo. I love this subtle very pale pink color. Looked great with my new nails! I don’t know if it’s even possible to find a color like this that’s not streaky and is perfect on two coats so I didn’t let the application bother me too much.

Try It On Tuesday: Wet n Wild Fastdry – Everybody Loves Redmond

2

Try It On Tuesday is here again and this time I dug out an awesome orange-y, tomato red polish. This is Wet n Wild Fastdry shade Everybody Loves Redmond. I love the sexy, bold, bright red color. The finish is crelly if you ask me. This is too squishy and juicy to be a creme and not quite squishy enough for jelly.

This is two coats with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

The formula is a bit on a thin side and this runs on your cuticles easily if you take too much polish on your brush. Application was smooth and even, no balding. Two coats was enough for an opaque result and dry time was short. Color is just awesome and quality is great for the price. Be sure to grab this one if you love sexy red polishes :)

Try It On Tuesday: Wet n Wild – Break the Ice

6

Hello lovelies and happy Tuesday! It’s gonna be another two post day and I’m gonna start it off with my TIOT manicure, Wet n Wild Break the Ice. I’ve been on a search for the perfect shimmery white and I saw this in a local store a while ago. I think my search might be over :D This is just perfect!

This is three coats of Break the Ice with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

The formula on this is thin and sheer. This runs down to your cuticles easily so apply thin coats. I did three coats and could’ve easily done a fourth one without the manicure looking too thick. I love the fact that the shimmer on this is white. This makes my nails look like they are covered with ice and fresh powder snow. Just beautiful! Hands down my favorite white polish now!

Try It On Tuesday: Wet n Wild Megalast I Need a Refresh-Mint

6

Happy Tuesday lovelies! It’s time for another TIOT with Sassypaints. This time I have a pretty minty green shade for you from Wet n Wild. I bought this one a while back and naturally threw it in to the Helmer without trying it out. I have read this shade being very close to China Glaze For Audrey but i don’t own that one so I can’t compare it myself. Though Google is your friend and I bet you can find some comparisons if you want to check it out yourself.

This is two thin coats of I Need a Refresh-Mint with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

This applies really well and smooth. The formula is a bit on the thick side and very pigmented so this could even be a one coater for shorter nails. Great quality for the price! This is a second Megalast shade I tried and I liked it as much as I liked the first one.

Wet n Wild Megalast – Heatwave

6

Is it spring yet!? This Wet n Wild Megalast Heatwave, a delicious and lovely coral red creme polish made me feel like spring is right around the corner. I bought this from a local store when I went hunting for cheap nail polish on sale and decided to get one of these WnW bottles too just to try it out. There were other pretty pastel shades too and I was so pleased with this one that I just might have to go pick up another bottle (or two) later on.

When I opened the bottle naturally the first thing I noticed was a very large brush. I think my exact words were “Oh! Holy crap, look at this!” as I turned to show my finding to my husband. Of course he had no idea what I was so amazed by so he just rolled his eyes at my craziness. It took a little bit of getting used to but the brush was actually pretty easy to use and polish applied nicely with it.

Heatwave was very well pigmented, even so well that I wonder if it would work for stamping. Two coats was more than enough for opaque result and dry time was short with Inm Super Fast Dry Top Coat. The color range is, I’d like to say safe, on these Megalast polishes but there was a few really pretty pastels too.

You own any Wet n Wild Megalast polishes and if so what do you think of them?

Wet n Wild – Rocking In Rubies

8

I just had to test my new Wet n Wild polish right away. Rockin In Rubies is bright red polish with red and gold shimmer. Though you can only see the gold shimmer in the bottle, on the nails it’s all looking red. This one is really flaming red and quite beautiful.

Rockin In Rubies is pretty thin and runs on your cuticles pretty easy. After two coats I still had visible nail line so I could’ve actually used three. Still this is pretty well pigmented for a cheap polish. It also took quite a while to dry. Anyways, I can forgive all of this cos it’s such a pretty shade ;) Now I’m just hoping it’ll stay on a few days without chipping.

In this mani I used: OPI NNS x2, Rocking In Rubies x2 and Poshe to dry it all.

Yesterday when I removed my last mani I noticed all the nails on my right hand have started peeling. After cursing and swearing for a while I realised why this is happening. At work while doing gel and acrylic nails I use this disinfecting cleaner and that must be drying up my nails. So I guess I should finally get them damn gloves and start wearing them too or I can kiss goodbye to my wishes of having long and healthy nails. I hope the peeling will calm down instead of turning into a nail breakage festival.
