Club Havana

GOOOOOOOOD afternoon!!!! My awesome neighbor/awesome friend gave me a set of Wet n Wild polishes last night at our spaghetti dinner. I am sooo excited to share one of these polishes with you! (Thanks Jessi!! I love them all SO much!! <3)

In the Sassy set, the polishes included are:
Club Havana
Haze of Love
Red Tape
Hush Hush
Tropicalia

These all appear to be creme polishes, but sometimes polishes can surprise you, so I won't know until I swatch them all!

Today I have Club Havana to share with you.

Here it is in its orange glory without flash. It is a creamy orange sorbet creme polish that glides on like butter, and looks good enough to eat. Oranges usually do not look good on my nails, but this one looks amazing. It makes me look so much more tan than I am, which is my goal when it comes to polish. Lol.

Flash flash flash! Makes it look a tad bit brighter than it actually is. But isn't the color GORGEOUS??!! The brush was a bit of a pain, but not as bad as their crazy salon flat brush crappity crap. It was so easy to apply. It was a bit streaky, but I could see this polish being completely streak free in three thin coats.

Here's what I did:
1 coat Sally Hansen's Double Duty base coat
1 coat Orly's Bonder base coat
2 coats Wet n Wild Club Havana
No top coat.

I only did 2 coats because I knew I would be layering other polishes on top. Wanna see what I layered??

BAM!

Here I added 1 thin coat of my Spectraflair top coat. (I purchased Spectraflair powder HERE! And added it to some top coat I never use.)
Then I added 1 coat of Essie's Shine of the Times and 1 coat of Orly's No Chip top coat.

Look at that rainbow goodness!!! <3

I love that Shine of the Times is the main star in the shade, but once that sun hits my nails, the holo goes rainbow crazy! I am in love with this combo!!

Look at those flakies! YUM!

Here's another sun shot.

What do you all think of this manicure? The orange? Have you tried any of these Wet n Wild polishes? Would you rock this mani??? Have you tried Spectraflair??

I just want to say a huge and special thank you to all of you who read my blog, comment, and inspire me to continue with this blog! I love all of my readers, and I try hard to read all of your blogs! Sometimes I can't get to them every day, but I promise..I am reading!!!

Until next time....

9.0.2.1.Orange

Good afternoon!! I am continuing my swatches of the Wet n Wild Summer Getaway collection. And I must say, this one I am about to show you is a favorite.

9.0.2.1.Orange is the name of this polish, and I must say, I am loving it. It is a glitter jelly polish, so it is extremely sheer. Luckily this only took three coats to become pretty opaque! I love love love the color, and I love love love all the glitter. You all really need to see this one in real life. It is sooo sparkly.

(Excuse my boo boo on my pinky. I covered it up, cause it looks kinda yuck.)

Yum yum yum! Glitter! It is such a fun shade of orange, and I felt like I was ready to go to the beach....if there was a beach near me.....which there isn't.....cause I live in Oklahoma. *Sigh*

Here's what I did:
1 coat Sally Hansen's Double Duty top coat
3 coats 9.0.2.1.Orange
No top coat seen here.

It is pretty gritty, so I did later on add some Seche Vite. I have a feeling this polish is going to be a pain in my behind to remove! Glitter always is.

As of right now, I am in love with only one of the polishes out of the collection...and this is it. I still have three more to try, so maybe my mind will be changed. (I wish I could say I love two of these polishes...but that green just does NOT look good on me. *cries*)

What do you all think of this color? The glitter? Do you like glitter polishes, or do you avoid them purely because the pain of removal??

Until next time...

Dreamy

Hello all! :D I did a fabulous manicure today! I am so in love with it! I have done a similar manicure to this before, but I just LOVE this color, I had to do it again.

Here is what I used as the base. Three coats of the Sally Girl polish. And a coat of Pure Ice Dreamy. What I did differently was I added a coat of Essie's Shine of the Times. Of course, as usual, I used my Orly base coat and my Seche Vite top coat. If you haven't seen this Essie polish, prepare to be amazed!

I honestly feel like I have fire on my nails. It is a gorgeous polish, with holo flakes. Yummy. I have seen this polish on top of black...and boy I can't wait to try that! It is gorgeous! But since it is spring time, and we are having a birthday party for my eldest today, I wanted something brighter.

These photos make the base polish look more orange than it actually is...but honestly, I'm fine with that! I'm loving this!!!

The fact that Essie named a polish a spin off a Prince song makes me love it even more. I am a HUGE Prince fan...thanks to my momma! I grew up listening to his music, and I currently own his entire collection. Sign O the Times is still one of my favorite songs. So, Essie, thank you for naming this polish Shine of the Times. It brings a huge smile to my face!

Yummy polish!! I'm thinking the Essie polish is what makes this base polish look more orange on my fingers. Fire fire fire!!! <3

I had been oooohing and aaaaahing at the holo flakes in this Essie polish for a while now. But I just could not bring myself to purchase it, until yesterday. I KNEW I needed it, even though my hubs will tell me that I already own plenty of glitter top coats. "BUUUUUT HONEEEEY! This one is diiiiiifferent!!!!"

I hope you all enjoy this bright and summery manicure! I do hope I have inspired some of you to go out and buy this awesome glitter top coat from Essie! I got it for $8.00 at Walgreens!

Until next time....
