Wet N Wild Palettes

Hey chicas. I hope all is well. I know Im always promising to show you guys some makeup so here it is. As you all well know I love a bargain and I dont feel I should have to spend a mountain of cash to look good so here are some staples in my makeup arsenal. Ive always loved Wet N Wild for their nail polish and lipsticks and now their eyeshadows. I purchased these about a month ago and havent put them down yet I used these palettes like everyday. All of the colors are super pigmented I usually use them over a shadow primer so they stay put all day. I swatched all without a base so you could see how pigmented they really are. I believe these retail for about $4.99 at Rite Aid or other major drugstores.


So yes dont walk run to the store and snatch these up they are so worth it. And rumor is that the LE holiday "Night Elf" palette has like 3 or Mac dupes. So I hope you guys enjoyed this post I plan on doing more cosmetics post and reviews in the future. I will be doing more FOTD and potentially some tutorials on how to get the look or at least what products I used to achieve said look. Toodlez

Double Jaded Flowers

Sorry for the blah title but thats all I could think of. Im officially tired of eating thanksgiving food because everytime I eat I get sleepy as all hell. Im tired of eating mashed potatoes ( never thought that would ever happen). J'adore une pomme de terres *french for I love potatoes* Mrs. Brittingham would be so pleased to know I still remember most of my french.
Anywho today's official NOTD which I just got finish doing is had more technical fouls than a football game. First it was trying to find a suitable dark green to stamp with to the base color smudging and smearing when trying to stamp. Finally everything worked itself out and Im really loving it. The base color is 2 coats of Avon nailwear pro in Jade. Two coats were a must because though the polish is really pigmented the formula is kinda thin. My stamping polishes were SH insta-dri in Jumpin' Jade (flowers) and China Glaze Devotion (chains). I really like how the green on green shading turned out but next time I think Ill use gold for the accent color. The images were stamped from the bundlemonster plates *bm12 to be exact*.

Red velvet .....uhmmm cake?

This Red Velvet from Avon's matte polish collection.Im really loving this polish. Practically applied itself and its a one coater. What more can I say.
Turkey day is fast approaching. Im gonna start my cooking tomorrow. Im gonna try my hand a baking a pumpkin pie as well as baking my usual pineapple upside downcake and a carrot cake. Still debating on whether or not Im gonna visit with the fam. But I might as well since Bri will be with her dad's family same as every year. But we'll see.

Blue Raspberry Snowmen

This is one of the snowman polishes that they sell at Rite-Aid. Theses are made by Blue Cross Beauty Products. Im not familiar with them but their polishes are really good. I would so recommend going out and snatching these up asap. This color reminds me of the snowballs I used to get from the neighborhood candyman when I was a child. Its a wonder I never had cavities as a child. Anywho this a one coater *yay me* and this is also great for stamping. Im not too big on polish terminology but I believe that this would be deemed a foil by the nail goddess.


Per usual my basecoat was Nail Tek Foundation II.I switched it up for my topcoat I used NYC Extra Shiny Topcoat, Im really liking this it dries super fast and only cost $1. So whats not to love.

Bare Naked Nails Cutdown

Hi Everyone. Well the title speaks for itself. I got tired of looking at my uneven nails and the stubby was taking to long growing back out so I chopped them down. As much as I was loving the extreme (at least in to me) nail growth, this length is probably more suitable for me. Im just not used to long nails. I kept banging my nails on crap plus it feels funny when I ball my hands up. Anyways before I get to long winded let me show you guys my new length real quick, so I can get back to finishing Bri's science project. I would say a few words on that but thats a rant for another day and another blog.


Question: What is your ideal nail length? Are there any at home remedies for whitening nails?

Franken Grey

This polish creation of the result of my body's refusal to shutdown aka insomnia. As of right now its 5:01am. Around 3:30 I reorganized my polishes and decided that I needed another grey polish. Only have 2 *well now 3* one is by pure ice and the other is also one I made.

This first shot is not color accurate. I made this lovely by mixing Sally Hansen Lavendar Cloud with Wet n Wild Black Creme, about 5 drops of a metallic blue snowman polish, and some clear polish.

So its a blue tinged grey with silver microshimmer.This is 2 coatsand I got bored so I doodled on it with my SH nail art pen.
