I Just Found Out I Have.... Glitter Herpes. (Wet N Wild Color Icon)

*I have joined Facebook!  Check out my page and Like me please! Like button/link on the right sidebar!*

Hi everyone!  I promise, I'm done with the cute names.  For now.  I felt that I needed to keep this one though, because it's true.  Take a look at the pictures and note the amount of glitter that was left behind.  By these polishes.  Ugh.  The war against glitter continues!  I love it, and I find myself wearing it more than any other finish, but it pisses me off so much!  

So, today I am showing you the three Wet n Wild LE Color Icon Ice Baby polishes for holiday 2011.  These were the only three that I felt I needed, the rest were just "eh."  Now that I have these I'm not entirely sure I needed them either, but I'll keep them for now!  (all of these are actually only two coats)

It's All in the Cut

A light lilac glitter with scattered pink hex glitter. I actually really like how this one covers!  Very pretty.

Rockin' Rubies

This is a red glitter with multi-colored hex glitter scattered in it.  It was hard to capture the hex, but it is really very pretty.  I might use this to layer over black or other reds.  Not sure yet. 

Diamond in the Rough

This is a pretty dark gray/charcoal glitter with the same multicolored glitter as Rockin' Rubies has.  I'm not sure if this stands out from Orly Rock Solid, but it is pretty.  This is probably best as a layering polish as well.  I believe I used two coats, but this may be three.  

There you have it!  The only one that I am super pleased with is It's All in the Cut.  The others are pretty "meh" especially with others that have come out this season.  I'm not sure what I'll do with them.  Oh well. What do you all think of them?  

Thanks for looking! 

FOTM: Wet N Wild Teal of Fortune

Hi everyone!  How's your weekend going?  

I love that I decided to do these finish features.  I can take swatch photos all at once (which is turning out to be a necessity.. no sun in Iowa this summer!) and load the pictures so they'll be waiting for me as a draft.  Turns out, this is a GREAT idea because I've kind of been super busy lately!  Yesterday I went to the water park with my friend and her two kids and had an AMAZING time.  I haven't been swimming in years.  Which is kind of bad because I forgot all of the breathing techniques that used to be second nature to me.  Sad face.  But I had a blast!  I was even a big girl and went on the drop slide.  BIG step for me.  I HATE heights and falling!  lol  It was amazing.  I am so tired and so burnt and didn't have time to repaint my nails after the chlorine destroyed them.... so this is why I'm thankful that I started this post weeks ago :)  Does anyone have any tips for swimming and keeping nail polish on?  By the end of the day every nail had popped off, and even my pedicure (which usually lasts MONTHS if I let it) was chipped!  HELP! 

Enough of that.  Here are some pictures of this gorgeous beauty!

Very similar to Zoya Charla. Don't you think??

haha I have such ugly VNL!  lol

I'm in love with this polish (I bet you've never heard me say that! LOL).  I'm not really sure how to describe it.  It's a darker teal with goldish and blueish type specks in it.  If I'm not clear, and it doesn't appear that I am, it looks like Zoya Charla.  I'm not sure if they are exact dupes, but they are VERY close.  I'll have to do a comparison sometime.  Downfall of this polish?  Besides being sheer, like all jellies, it STAINED.  I was afraid to swatch it!  I had swatched on my thumb when I bought it and my cuticles were blue for a week.  So bad!  Ugh.  I hate when great polishes are ruined by staining.  Boo.

Anyway, any tips you have about pools and nails?  Anything you want to see in the coming weeks?  I love hearing from you guys!  Thanks so much for looking!
