Wet n Wild Disturbia Review and Swatches

Hi my sweetcakes! Today, I have a vampy color that came out for Halloween, if I'm not mistaken. It's Disturbia by Wet n Wild, a dark eggplant purple with very subtle microshimmer.

2 coats under direct sunlight. Look at that beautiful purple base!

2 coats.


Flash 1 coat

Flash! Look :D


Flash, trying to capture shimmer lol

Lookie, my friend and I had on the same nail polish! Totally coincidence too haha
The formula on this was really easy to work with! Smooth and easy to apply, like most Wet n Wilds, the only complaint I have is that with the Mega Last line, their brushes are big. And sometimes, they're not all the same size, so when they make it slightly bigger, it can end up being too big and very troublesome to get a nice cuticle curve. ):
And also, I realized that this somewhat resembles Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI, but that is WAYYY darker and way more black. I already frankened my LPAD because it was way too dark and too close to black so I added a lot of white and clear polish. :P

Allllllright, that's it for today! Have a nice day everyone :3

Halloween Mani: Candy Corn! + Swatches of Wine and Dined

Hahahah hi guys! Long time no see! I've been getting so lazy lately :P I actually took lots of pictures of my manis, but I get so lazy and I dont edit them, so I dont post them lol.

BUT ANYWAYYYY, here is my halloween mani! Candy Corn yay! Kind of overrated because everyone is doing these lol, but I wanted to show case the base color: Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in Wine and Dined.

OMGGGG. SHIMMER :D



I like the designs on my thumbs a bit more than the ones on my ring finger haha :P And trust me... they look pretty neat in real life lol, cuz nobody puts their face 3cm from my nails and stares at the designs xD but... guess I shouldn't be making excuses :\
I just used 2 coats of Wine and Dined, drew on triangles with white acrylic, and filled them in with orange and yellow acrylic :3

AND HEEERE are the swatches for Wine and Dined! Sadly though, the shimmer is really hard to capture... and I NEED to tilt my nails for the particles to catch the light so they can actually show up... but then there's the stupid glare .______________. I actually think the ones above show you how pretty the shimmer is, while these are just to show you the brown/gray base color (:


This is 3 coats. It's very sheer...

1 Coat



This is a very very sheer polish. It does build up nicely though, I used 3 coats. I feel that this would be nice for a jelly sandwich :P The formula on this was smooth, a bit streaky on the first coat, but perfect when you build it up.
One thing I have to say, though... This polish does NOT last a long time... 2-3 days, and it starts chipping on me. Like NO JOKE. I usually get a week before chipping and tip wear, but this... :\

Alright, that's all for today! Hope you guys have an amaaazing halloween! Love and Kisses to all of you :* And hope you guys have a safe night of trick-or-treating for those who are going!

Impress: Halloween Hot Headed?

Hi my cutie pies! :3
So todayyyy, I have some stick ons to show you! They're from Broadway's false nail line: imPRESS, and from the new Halloween Collection! :D I picked these up last week at Walgreens for 8.99, not too bad. This one is called Hot Blooded. I have quite a bit to say about these, but I'll save that for later. Pics first :3

Excuse the tips on the middle finger, I had to file them down for them to  not be so obviously fake...


So, these come in 4 different designs:  One: Spiderweb and Skull, like on my Thumb. Two: Half Spider web, index and ring, three, full spiderweb, middle finger, four skull, pinky.


And they have glitter :D
 These also have numbers behind each nail as sizes, and I picked a size 1 for my thumb because that's the only size that has the skull design and semi-fits my thumb... Still a bit big though, so I had to file it down.


A complaint though.... ugh. These are so flat... And my nails are very curved so they don't lay flat against my nail bed and things can get in between there ): Despite that, I still like the shape it gives my nails, almost a fuller shape. Do you get what I mean? Hahaha, my natural nails aren't this wide, and I actually like it wider! Just very inconvenient with these fakes ):




Blurred this a bit, hoping it would capture the glitter better... apparently not ):
 Likes:
Sooo smooth and shiny :D
Looks very cool, and I get complimented EVERY SINGLE SECOND.
Color combo looks very nice together.
Decent thickness
Makes my nails look wider :3
Comes in a pack of 24 LASTS LONGGGGGG.

Dislikes:
Very heavy on your nails
Not curved enough for curvy nails. More malleable would be nice.
Certain designs come in certain sizes, can't guarantee which design would fit. If you like a certain design, then you either cross your fingers that it will fit, or just file it.


All in all, I actually like these :3 Probably just because of the constant compliments though haha, because wearing it does cause a bit of pain on my nails... ): I love this design and I'm hoping to pick up some more from the Halloween line! :D

That's it for today my sweethearts, see you next time :***
