Wet n Wild Megalast On a Trip

As I'm sure most everyone knows, I'm a huge fan of good quality, cheaply priced products. The Wet n Wild Megalast collection is a great example of such a product. I only have two of the polishes so far, but seven of the lipsticks (which I might even do some posts on!). The first one I have for you today is On a Trip, a blue-toned light purple. I layered one of my favorite polishes, Sally Hansen Glass Slipper, on top to make it even more light-spirited and springy.

I know a lot of people are split on the new WnW brushes, but I really liked the coverage with the bigger width. The curved tip made it really easy to get close to the cuticle without flooding. I didn't have any problems with it at all. Really great quality for a $2 polish! I used two coats On a Trip and one coat Glass Slipper for this mani.

I need to get my nails this long again! Grrrrrr running out of Nail Envy :C

What do you think of the newer Wet n Wild Megalast polishes?

Layering experiment with Nubar 2010 and Pure Ice Oh! Baby

So alright. I have a bit of a problem with having things in chronological order, and as such, I have been posting in the order in which I wore these manis, with the exception of the Neverland Nail Blog nail art contest and just a couple others. This isn't necessarily something that is important, I just wanted to throw it out there I guess, since today it's rainy and grey and sad outside but the pictures I'm posting today are from the end of March when it was nice outside! Hahaha.

Today's post is a layering experiment! I always love doing these kinds of things because I never really know how they're going to turn out. For this, I used one coat Sinful Colors Black on Black, two coats Pure Ice Oh! Baby, one coat Nubar 2010, one coat Oh! Baby, one coat Nubar 2010. In that order. :P 


All pictures were taken outside in the shade. I recommend clicking on them to make them bigger. :3

At a slight angle, Nubar 2010 shift more obvious

Extreme angled back, Oh! Baby shift blue, purple, pink more obvious


Side shot! This way, you kind of get the whole effect.

I took these pictures over a span of about two days, so there is some pretty terrible chip wear... This mani didn't last to incredibly long since it was so thick. :/ It was fun while I had it on though.

What do you think? What's been your favorite layering combo you've tried?

"Do You Believe In Magic?" Neverland Nail Blog nail art contest!

When I saw this nail art contest, I knew I had to enter and do a unicorn inspired mani! I have a unicorn pillow pet and might even get a unicorn tattoo someday... We'll see though. :P Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out. This is the first nail art contest I've entered, so I hope I did okay! Here are the pictures:



I used a load of colors, so I'll just list them all by finger.
Base on all: Cult Nails Let Me Fly
Ring and pinky: Cult Nails Clairvoyant (what unicorn mani would be complete without a good dose of Unicorn Puke?!)
Middle and thumb: Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet, Essie Pansy, OPI Planks a Lot, Makeup Store Greta (for some silver lining, hahaha)
Ring: Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet, Essie Pansy, OPI Planks a Lot, Sinful Colors Pull Over, Wet n Wild Teal of Fortune, Sally Hansen Black Out, Makeup Store Greta


I had a lot of fun doing this contest, and I hoped you all enjoyed it too! :3
