Some New Wet n' Wild swatches....

My hubby asked me to stop at our local Walgreens for some random stuff for the house, and I of course agreed! I had heard about these new Wet n' Wild polishes, and was really hoping they had them, since no where else did. Annnnddd.....THEY DID! Now there are like 7, 8, 9, total, I don't remember, but these are the only ones I grabbed.

Party of Five Glitters (ahhhhh I used to love that show) - yet another big multi glitter similar to Lippmanns Happy Birthday or the Milani Gems. I have the other 2 as well, and I have to say, I prefer this out of all 3! I layered it over black here.



SaGreena the Teenage Witch (these names kill me, lol, literally)



Teal of Fortune, yep cause this polish world needed another Charla dupe, what is this like number 4? I'm not sure why I bought this, lol, I think I own all the dupes *hangs head*



Oh, I MUST say, that just like all the other Charla dupes, this stained terribly!!! And I only had it on for like 15 minutes!!!! LOLOLOL, I just love this pic
Okay moving on, Hannah Pinktana, yep you read right, these names are sooo cheesy! This is actually a holo, but since I was inside, it was very hard to capture. It is fairly sheer, so I layered it over black, and love it!



Essence Magnetic Metallics Polish Swatches!!!!

WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!! So some of you may remember about a giveaway I posted about, that The Laquerista was holding. The giveaway was for the set of Essence Metallic Magnetic polishes. Well.......I WON!!! YAY, and they arrived yesterday. Of course I had to swatch them all, and share with you guys. I have heard that the magnet it came with didn't work well, but I had no issues. I absolutely love these!! They were all one coat. Here is a group shot with and w/out flash.

L-R
Iron Goddess, Copper Rulez, Steel Me, Nothing Else Metals


and here is the magnet and how-to booklet it came with

This is Steel Me, and my 2nd fave of the bunch!




This was my FAVE of them all, Copper Rulez. Do you see the gold sparkles in it?!?!? So pretty





Nothing Else Metals



and finally Iron Goddess



















I have wanted to try magnetic polishes ever since I heard about L'Oreal Star Magnet polishes, but I was never able to get my hands on any. I was beyond thrilled to learn I had won these. Have you guys tried any Magnetic polishes before? What do you think of them?

Lippman Across the Universe Funky French..

Of course I had to do a mani with my new Lippmann!! So for this I used Across the Universe. I started out doing a full mani, and when I was done, I wanted to do another funky french with it, but I didn't want matte tips again, so I did this, and made Across the Universe the tips :P I LOVE it, I felt like I had gems on my tips!


Here is 2 coats of Across the Universe on its own



And of course, the final mani :P

3 new to me Zoyas...

I just had to show you all the 3 new Zoya polishes I aquired recently, thanks to their 3 free promo!! These are all just 2 coats and apply great, just like their other polishes. When I ordered these, I actually thought Crystal would me my fave, but upon my swatching, Valerie was.

Debbie Does French.....hee hee

My sister rocks! So last night I get home from work to find a package from Zappos. I know I didn't order anything from there, but when I opened the box there was 2 bottles of Lippmann polishes!!! Bad Romance and Across the Universe!! There was a message that just said 'Happy New Year', but no name :( I'm assuming it's her, my sis, since she knows about my wish list on my blog, and knows my address, lol. I just couldn't wait to try them. I know they're old news to you guys, but I'm SUPER excited! Just had to share. Oh and of course, tips HAD to be added, lol, and since I haven't used my OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte in a while, I felt the need to.

ps - please ignore the annoying pup hair that managed to make a debut in my ring finger tip, lol. I'm too tired to fix it


This is 2 coats of Bad Romance and the OPI on the tips



then the final mani
