Wet n Wild Megalast Sugar Coat and 2% Milk Comparisons then Rhinestoned Mani!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm extremely happy today because I got my acceptance to University of Washington! Such an honor, they have a BEAUTIFUL campus, and not to mention, extremely close to where my dad lives too!　So, definitely one of my top choices (:
As for today's post, I have a natural mani I wore to my dance competition that I want to show you guys. It features two very VERY similar polishes, Wet n Wild Megalast Sugar Coat, a very light lavender based pink jelly, and 2% Milk, a very light more beige toned nude jelly. In all the pictures below, I have on 2 coats of 2% Milk on all fingers except my ring finger which I have on 2 thick coats of Sugar Coat.

I feel that this picture captures how much more opaque Sugar Coat is!

Again, captures difference in opacity and also undertones.

 Below are pictures without the rhinestones haha :P You can definitely tell that Sugar Coat is more opaque, but honestly, their differences are VERY minute.

This is 1 coat under natural lighting. Looks almost identical, except for opacity.

 Here in the bottle, they look extremely different, you can see the more beige color of 2% Milk better in it's bottle, but it doesn't really translate onto the nail because it's a very sheer color.

All in all, I honestly think I don't need both of these, one is good enough haha. For me, the opacity at 2 coats is perfect because it gives a clean look without looking like I'm trying too hard, thanks to the slightly visible nail line.
That's it for today's posts, my sweethearts! Hope you're all having a fantastic week! Personally, I just wish March and April can just fly past, because 1) I'm so sick of highschool hahhaa, I have really bad senioritis! and 2) my beloved Jack哥哥, whom I mentioned a bit here, is coming back at the end of April and I can't wait! Heheheh, I'm off to do some homework now! Can't slack off, or I can't graduate :P
Byebye my lovelies~

My Top 5 Polishes of 2012, Lots of Pics :3

Hi everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful, amazing, fantastic, and polish-filled holiday season! Because I sure did hahaha, I ended up with a LOT more polish than I expected :P Anyway, I haven't talked to you guys in so long, missed you guys! :3

Anyway:
Happy New Year! :-***

Honestly, you guys mean sooo much to me, like a friend who will always listen to my rambling and accept my "freak" habit of collecting nail polishes. Hahaha, so the real topic today is to show you my favorites from 2012! I was originally going to pick out 12, but I realized too many of them were unswatched and I honestly don't have that much time to swatch them so I narrowed down to 5! Hope you enjoy (:

#1 Polish of 2012: Lavender Fizz by Milani

This polish is the SPARKLIEST polish I own, REALLY! Like every time I do something, my nails always catch my eye first hahaha, love purple, love glitter, purple+glitter= #1!

#2 Polish of 2012: Flirty Tankini by China Glaze

Beaaaauuutiful neon coral shade from the China Glaze neon summer collection, it's really flattering on my skin tone. Most pinks are extreeeemely ugly on me... I guess my skintone just doesn't work well with pinks! But the orange coral touch in this polish really matches my warmer skintone YAY (: The shimmer in it is sooo gorgeous and makes it very wearable, unlike flat neons! I wore this on my toes TWICE. Seriously, it has to be one kick-ass polish if I wear it TWICE.

#3 Polish of 2012: Sugar Coat by Wet n Wild Megalast

I have to apologize... I don't have a color accurate picture for this polish and its beauty. I have a post about it here, and even made a nail art design here.

 This is just a really light soft lavender based baby pink. Perfect palette cleanser for me! Gives me an effortless yet very polished look, really love this!

#4 Polish of 2012: Cinderella by Sinful Colors

This is the base color that I used for like... 50% of my nail art? Hahaha and my bottle's half gone, so that's how much I love it! I have a full review of it (from my earlier days, so pics aren't watermarked, oops!) here, and I even did a VERY EMBARASSING gradient of it here... pains me to even mention it hahaha :P

#5 Polish of 2012: Rare and Radiant by China Glaze (and all the other Chanel Peridot dupes)

This was actually really hard, as you all know, I picked up two colors from the Bohemian collection, and I really love both of them! Hard to choose because they're both amazing colors, but golds tend to be a bit more flattering on me, so I chose this one. Application, finish, duochrome, this polish is GORGEOUS!

Okay, that concludes my favorites of the year! I hope you all had an amazing New Year's Eve, and best wishes to all of us in the coming year! I love you alllll :-***

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

Eye See You Copycat

Hi guys! I'm soooo excited about these nails that I saw seriously less than an hour ago and I had to recreate it. They're nude eyeball nails! Created by the lovely Zoe :3 She's amazing! And okay here goes my version of it! For the eye I actually didn't "line" the lower lashes because normally when I do makeup, I just line my upper lash line :P













Silly me, I was so excited for this that I rushed the topcoat... Now look at that ugly smudge ):

I used Wet n Wild Sugar Coat (I will do a more detailed swatch and review on this) as a base, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White on White, a nameless bright blue, and China Glaze Liquid Leather and some striping brushes and a dotter.

I'm soooo loving these!!! Thanks again Zoe for the inspiration! Big kisses to you :****
