Wet n Wild glitters

This past weekend I got to play in my sis-in-law's polish stash.  She recently bought some Wet n Wild glitter polishes at Walgreens, and they are so pretty!

Before I spam you with pics of my nubbies, here is a link to Scrangie's nail blog post about the same polishes.  It looks like she used JUST the glitters with top coats.  I have to muck with stuff...gotta try different color base coats and such.  :)

My left hand got the Wet n Wild Back Alley Deals.  It's dark purple with hot pink.  I used a dark purple fast dry base coat color on my pinkie and index fingers, and a magenta/hotter pink base on the bird and ring fingers.  Then Back Alley Deals followed by a thin coat of Essie's Set in Stones glitter.  I loooooove that Essie glitter b/c it's got such a cute mix of big and small glitter flecks.  Oh, and a clear coat on top.  The Wet n Wild glitters are very matte and gritty until the clear coat, then they POP!  It was a happy accident that my left hand now matches my phone case!  :)


My right hand got Wet n Wild Rockin' Rubies, over a hot pink base color.  Again with Essie's Set in Stones and a clear coat on top.  I wish I'd done both hands AND my toes like this.  It's so pretty! 

I need to add another layer of clear coat.  I love these so much I may keep this on for TWO days!  LOL!  Well, if they last.  My nubbies look like happy little parties!

Valentiney nails

Did not think taking photos of my own nails would be harder than my polymer clay goodies. Go figure.

Ok, so I'm better at clay than painting my nails....so the clay looks better....but whatever. I'm getting better. :)

I remember in grade school there was a rhyme, "red and pink make you stink". And perhaps they do. But I think they look cute together. And I took a shower today. So there.


The red is Rimmel's Lasting Finish Pro Stiletto Red, pink is Pure Ice Jackpot, glitter is Pure Ice Don't You Wish.
