Wet N Wild How I Met Your Magenta

Hey polish lovers!

I am starting my week off with a simple swatch. My husband got me some storage drawers for the overflow of my stash that had been living in a suitcase for the past year. It was a great opportunity to go through and revisit all the polishes I had been not using as much. I love having them more easily accessible now! My Wet n Wild polishes were in there and I picked out How I Met Your Magenta from the Fast Dry line to wear. I love the golden shimmer in here!

We n Wild is such an awesome brand. They have done a great job of offering new, exciting and (mostly) great quality products for practically nothing.

I swatched the entire Fast Dry Line a couple of years ago...if you want to see that post, click *here*!

A Little Something for You!

Hello again!

I told you earlier I had a small surprise and this is it! Over the past few weeks, I have been reviewing lots of Shimmer Polish. I was sent a duplicate of Kim, which I have already swatched in the past, so Cindy and I decided a giveaway was in order!

Up for grabs is a brand new bottle of Kim, which is definitely one of my favorite Shimmers! Just use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter.

This giveaway is open internationally except the UK and Italy due to shipping risk. :(

Good luck and thank you all for making blogging so much fun!

Shimmer Polish Swatches-Last Batch!

Hello everyone!

It's been a busy past few days and I am happy to be back to posting today. As you know, I have been showing swatches of lots of Shimmer Polish lately. Today, I have the final batch from the ones I sent to review!

Irene is a mostly champagne glitter with a rainbow of other glitters spread through out. This is 2 coats over OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?

Next is Tammy. For some reason, I had the hardest time capturing this one! I did one coat over Color Club High Society.

This is Julie. One coat over Orly Frolic. This is a rainbow mix of glitters with a predominant purple throughout.

Not to be confused with Julie, this is Julia. This reminds me of Cinderella's blue dress and glass slippers. I layered one coat over Zoya Natty. Such a pretty polish!

And finally, we have Candace. This is one coat over CND Asphalt which is a dark gray creme. This reminds me of bumblebees (or as my 2 1/2 year old says, "bungle - bees").

Tell me your faves from this bunch!

I have reviewed a bunch of other Shimmer in the past and you can see them all *here* in previous posts.

You can visit Shimmer's Etsy shop *here* and on their blog *here* and like them on Facebook *here*!

Stay tuned for a little surprise later today! ;)

A Holo Half Moon

I found the LA Girl 3D Effects holos at Rite Aid a while back and picked up a few. Even if these aren't linear in finish, I love 'em anyway! The collection dupes last year's holiday Zoya holos (Aurora, Storm, Blaze). In fact, there are dupes for those 3 in the LA Girl collection, plus more! 

This half moon mani is done using China Glaze Sexagon and LA Girl Brilliant Blue. 

I love how this turned out! I wore this for maybe 4 days and had no wear, which is worth mentioning since holos can sometimes chip quickly.

Are you eyeing any of the LA Girl 3D Effects? At half the price of Zoya, they are definitely worth it!

Even More Shimmer Polish Swatches!

 Hey hey!

Hope you have all had a great weekend. Mine was very rainy but relaxing.

I've got more Shimmer polishes to show you today. I am almost through the samples I was sent for review and then there will be a little surprise. ;)

First up is Lorene. One coat over Dr.'s Remedy Passion Purple. I can see this having much more dimension with topcoat.

This is Marilyn. This particular Shimmer required no underwear...very different from most of the others but I like it! And check out the shine it has even with out top coat. This is 2 coats.

Next, is my personal favorite of the bunch: Lucie. SUPER blingy...I am already planning on this being my next pedi. I layered one coat over LA Colors Metallic Silver. Obsessed!

And finally, we have Natalie. This is one coat over Bondi New York Blue Skies. This has got some of those awesome iridescent color shifting glitters in it.

Which ones are you loving from this bunch?

I have reviewed a bunch of other Shimmer in the past and you can see them all *here* in previous posts.

Still Playing Catch Up - St Patty's Day Mani!

Hey everyone! 

I am still trying to catch up on manis from my little blogging hiatus a last month. So you get a flash back to St. Patrick's Day today! ;)

Once again, I kept it simple. This is an all Orly mani! Probably a first that I used all one brand in the same mani? haha I used: Fresh, Luxe, Sashay My Way and Monster Mash!

I am slowly getting caught up...I think you that's the last belated holiday post you will have to read. ;)

Have a great weekend!
