Zach and Kelly

Hey guys!  Today I have some silly fun to show you.  A while back Wet n Wild did a Saved by the Bell collection.  I loved that show so much!  I never found a full display but I did manage to snag Chick Magnet Zack, the teal.  You all know how much I love teal and this one is no exception.  Two coats and it was perfect.  My accent nail is Pom Pom Kelly.  I was never able to find Kelly but a lovely polish friend sent it to me.  Kelly took three coats and still wasn't great.  The formula is typical of neons.  I decided to add a heart using Zack and my Nail Vinyls.  I kinda made a big old mess out of it all.  Then to make matters worse I thought it was dry enough but when I put on my workout pants I squished the accent nail all up.  Oh well, it's still a fun mani.

 I hope you enjoyed today's goofy mani.  Have a great day!

Until next time...

Product Reviews from KKcenterHK

Hi and Happy Monday!  Today I have a review of two stamping plates and some water nail decals that I received from KKcenterHK.com.  I picked two images off each plate, SPPMB38 and SPPMB32.  I used WnW Black Creme and Konad Special Polish White to stamp over my existing Orly Frisky mani.  The images all came out pretty well.  The splatter image from B38 worked the best.  The little guys from B32 are missing a few spots but that was probably just me.  I can see myself using the splatter image a lot.  I was getting ready to do a pedicure with Zoya Carly and Meg so I tried them out for stamping on my thumb with the splatter image.  I freakin love it.  Carly stamps amazingly well.

Next up I have some more of their awesome water nail decals.  I showed you the star ones here.  Today I have some black and white flower decals, WDBLE899.  Again these are done on top of my Orly Frisky mani.  These are super easy to use, although I do wish they came with some directions.  I checked out a few youtube videos and they helped me out.  Basically cut out the section you want to use, put it in a little bowl of water for a few seconds then place it on your nail.  I love the water decals instead of stickers because they leave some room for error.  You can move them around a bit on the nail for great placement.

All in all I've had great success with the products I've received from KKcenterHK.com.  They are having a sale during the month of May for 25% off.  If you order any other time and use the code mylifeinpolish you'll get 10%, through 1/21/2013.  Thanks for stopping by today!

Cult Nails Blackout and some more Correction Tape

sun

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I've been gone so long. Busy time of year and all. This was my New Years mani. Two coats of Cult Nails Blackout and a layer of Wet n Wild Correction Tape. My husband picked this one out. I really liked it except for the weird Seche Vite shrinkage. Usually SV shrinks my tips but this time it shrunk at the bottom creating weird lines. Strange! If I was going to wear Blackout by itself I would probably have worn three coats. I had some thin spots. Check it out and let me know what you think. Sorry I don't have any pictures of Blackout by itself but I did these nails at night, hence the SV. Usually my go to topcoat is Cult Nails Wicked Fast.

I got a new camera for Christmas so bear with me a little. My next few posts will be a mix of new and old camera shots. Today's pictures are with the new one. It's more color accurate I think but taking some time to learn.

Have a great day!

Wet N Wild How I Met Your Magenta and Black Creme

You know what doesn't help when you're nail art challenged? Your husband calling three hours early and saying come pick me up. He was an hours drive away. Yeah, so this awesome idea is a bit of a mess. My topcoat smeared the black because I was in a hurry. I can't wait to try this again though.

This is two coats of WNW How I Met Your Magenta (would do three if wearing on its own) with a tape design and WNW Black Creme over it. Black Creme is amazing! Great for stamping and covers in one coat. I used my striping tape to make the lines. Love that stuff!

Oh what a mess! outside, sun

HIMYM is a squishy, bright pink with some shimmer. Not sure if I plan on keeping this one or not. Don't really know how I would get rid of it but whatever. Just seems so wrong to dispose of any nail polish. If you want it, let me know. I'll send it to you.

So what do you think of my nail fail? I figure everyone has them so why not show them off.

Have a great day!

Essie Cocktail Bling and a Little Correction Tape

sun

Today I have Essie Cocktail Bling from the 2011 winter collection. I bought this in September at my favorite nail supply store. It was just sitting there all by itself on the shelf and had to come home with me. This is a slightly blueish gray polish. It looked a lot bluer on me than it did in the bottle. I love it though. Great formula, two coats and it was perfect.

I thought Cocktail Bling would be the perfect background to really show off Wet N Wild Correction Tape. I am in love with this look and will be wearing it again soon.

So what do you think? Did you pick up Correction Tape?

Talk with you soon,

Wet N Wild Back Alley Deals

outside sun

The other day my older son and I stopped in to Walgreens to kill some time. Of course this means we must look at all the new nail polish displays. We came across the new Wet N Wild glitters that just came out. We picked out two, the dark purple and the dark blue. Today I have Carter's pick, Back Alley Deals. This is a really pretty purple and pink glitter polish. It was a HUGE pain in the rear to work with. There is definitely a learning curve here and I am at the bottom. I tried it by itself first but after 3 coats I still wasn't satisfied. So I layered 2 coats of BAD (haha) over Sinful Colors I Love you. I Love You is pretty sheer but since I was layering it didn't matter. The end result is pretty but I had weird shrinkage and wrinkling on my right hand. Alright, enough babbling! Here are the pictures.

So what do you think? I'll have to try the other one and see if it's any easier to work with. So far though, I'm glad I only bought these two. Have a great day!

Wet n Wild Behind Closed Doors

Today I have the much coveted Behind Closed Doors from the Wet n Wild On the Prowl collection. I had pretty much given up hope that I would ever find any of these but then I stumbled across them in an Albertsons grocery store. Yay! So this is two coats of BCD over one coat of WNW Black Creme. I didn't love the way BCD looked by itself at three coats. I love it over the black though. Then because I can't leave well enough alone I matted it with a layer of Essie Matte About You. My only complaint is Matte About You took some of the color off the glitter so it looks like there are a few pieces of silver glitter mixed in. Oh well, now I know to put a clear topcoat on first then the matte.


*Both these pictures were taken inside with indirect sunlight from the kitchen window.

I loved this mani. It's one of my favorites in a long time. I picked up a few others from the OTP collection as well. Were you able to find any of these? What's your favorite?

Take care,
Sara
