TIOT: Spoiled Let's Get Sushi

Sponsored | Bought Myself | Press Sample | Nothing to Disclose | Giveaway Winnings

Today I am trying on Let's Get Sushi from Spoiled. I really love the way this polish looks in the bottle, a nice coral color with a bit of a shimmer/sheen. It does not look anything like that on my nails, it comes off as a bright orangey (is that a word LOL) cream, I don't see any shimmer at all. I really don't think I'll wear this polish again, I may use it as a stamping polish or something, but as a polish on it's own I don't think so.

These pictures do not give the accurate color, they are much more bright orange looking in person.

Application was not the greatest thing either. The first coat left me with streaky, brush marked polish, but the second coat did even that out. Drying time was average about 5-10 minutes, depending on how thick of a coat you applied. Wear time was pretty decent too, I got a good 3 days out of it before I started noticing a lot of tip wear. I didn't have any issues with it chipping either.

Don't you just hate when you see a bottle of polish at the store and think to yourself, now there is a pretty polish, then get it home, try it on and it's nothing like what you thought it would be? Glad this was only $1.99

Mish Mash Challenge Week 7: Least Expensive Polish

Welcome to week seven of the Mish Mash Challenge! This week we are creating manicures with out least expensive polishes in our collection. I went back and forth about which ones were my least expensive, I thought, well the ones I've won or were gifted were free, but I opted to go with a polish that I bought myself, I used Mind Your Own Beeswax from Spoiled. I got this polish when CVS was having their 75% off sale and I only paid $.49 for it!

For this mani I was going to do something different on each finger, but after I did a water marble on each of my ring fingers I liked it so much I just did it to all my fingers. I put down 2 coats of MYOB, then used Black Satin, a cream polish from Rimmel (I also got for 75% off at CVS) and the MYOB to make a nice water marble design. I am very satisfied with how it turned out.

I can't wait to see what everyone's least expensive polish manicures look like. Stop by and check them out.

ABC Nail Challenge: Letter J

It's Wednesday and time for Letter J in the ABC Nail Challenge hosted by Kimber over at Kimber's Lacquer Korner! Today I chose to do a Jelly Sandwich manicure, I really love the way these manicures look. I used 2% by Wet n Wild as my base and top color. For my Glitter I used Ant's in My Pants by Spoiled, which is a red glitter with a charcoal colored base.

If you have any recommendations for good drug store polishes to use for Jelly Sandwiches please leave them in the comments below :)

 Bonus Picture: This is a photo of my most favorite Jelly Sandwich combonation- Wet n Wild 2% and Trust Fund Baby by Spoiled.

Be sure to stop by and check out what the other ladies did for the letter J!

Try it Again Tuesday

When I originally started this series, if you want to call it that, the idea I had in my head was makeup products that I have tried and then kind of forgot about them and then rediscovered them. Then today as I was doing my nails, I thought this could go for looks that I've tried, but they didn't come of quite the way I wanted them too.

So with that being said, today's try it again Tuesday is milky glitter nails! I tired this last week, but I didn't have the right kind of milky polish to pull this look off, so I picked up a bottle of Wet n Wild's Megalast polish in 2% and here is the look I got with my second attempt.

I first applied two coats of 2%, one coat was just too sheer for me since it was my base color. I then used a makeup sponge to apply my glitter polish, which was Trust Fund Baby by Spoiled. Then I added 2 more layers of 2%, one coat didn't make it look milky enough in my opinion. I am much more satisfied with the results this time.

Wet n Wild Nail Swatches (pic heavy)

Finally getting around to getting better swatches from the Wet n Wild mini set that I picked up from CVS in my Mini Shop and Show, as well as the other two polishes that I picked up from Rite Aid.

I'll start with the swatches of the Wet n Wild mini set. I really wanted to get these up soon because on Black Friday CVS is going to have the set for $2.99 if you have one of their rewards cards!

Here are the bottle shots

Mini Shop and Show

Oh my goodness, I am so flipping happy that I went out to CVS today! Found a great deal on a set of Wet n Wild Megalast polishes! I also picked up a bottle of Spoiled's Ants In My Pants polish and a Wet n Wild eye shadow single in Nutty. I've tried several of their trios and pallets so I thought I'd give the singles a go. I also picked up some VO5 shampoo and conditioner for $.75 a bottle!

I also picked up a couple items from Rite-Aid,
