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!

Swatches of some Wet n Wild Polishes: Sugar Coat, Blue Moon

Hey my lovely buns :3 I just recently picked up 2 Wet n Wild polishes, a pinky nude because I was in dire need of one haha, and a dark shimmery blue because its gorgeous and immediately caught my eye.
So up first, I have Sugar Coat by Wet n Wild Megalast. A gorgeous light pale pink, leaning more to the cool side.
3 easy coats. With this, you definitely don't need 3 coats, but I just swatched it to show you guys. The brush on this is really big, (I will address this later) so that's why if you're not careful, you can get pooling around the edges, hence the pinky.

1 coat

2 coats
 With these, I had to turn up my room lights because any way else when photographing, makes this color look like a cream nude or a pale lavender. So the brush. It's fat. But I actually really like it! Same brush as the Spoiled line, it's rectangular and flat, so it's quite easy to maneuver.

Flash brings out the lavender base of this color.
Formula was a heaaaaven! Very smooth and easy to work with, just be careful of the brush. And yes, this is the color I used as a base for my eyeball design.

Next, we have Blue Moon by Wet n Wild Wild Shine. A gorgeous deep blue with teal shimmer. Does anyone else think of Smurfs when you hear the name blue moon? Hahahha

2 coats

Slightly blurred to show you the amount of shimmer! Look at that!

1 coat. You see the gorgeous teal sparkle in the bottle?

This polish is amazing! Definitely can be a 1 coater if you apply a thicker and more even first coat. It really sparkles under direct light! Sorry I didn't have a flash photo to show you :\ Formula was also very nice, smooth and thin. This looks somewhat like OPI's Yoga-ta Get This Blue, but I don't have that for comparison..... Let me know if they're dupes or something!

I'm so happy to have purchased these two, definitely more happy than my Sinful Colors purchases hahaha. Until next time my sweethearts :3
