Wet n Wild How I Met Your Magenta and CoverGirl Pink Twinkle

How did your weekend go? Mine was pretty boring but I was able to watch some movies, which is always nice. I've realized that I haven't been giving my mainstream polishes much attention, so today I have a mani featuring two mainstream polishes. It's girly and sweet and could double as a Valentine's Day mani, so here it is!

This is Wet n Wild How I Met Your Magenta, a pink jelly with gold shimmer, with CoverGirl Pink Twinkle, a shimmery pink flakie layered on top. I tested these polishes together to see what they would look like first and I really loved how it turned out. I've worn How I Met Your Magenta before and did a post on here a while ago. As for Pink Twinkle, it's a really old polish in my stash. I've probably had it since my high school years, maybe even earlier, and from the looks of the bottle, I apparently loved it! Though, I can't recall wearing it. Both polishes are easy to apply. How I Met Your Magenta is somewhat sheer, even at two coats, but it's a jelly, so that's to be expected. Pink Twinkle on the other hand only needed one coat and it was really dense. I really like how the shimmer in How I Met Your Magenta and Pink Twinkle compliment each other.

Here's How I Met Your Magenta by itself. It's a little more bright in person.

I really love these together! I just love playing around with my polishes and creating new and beautiful looks like this one. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Wet N Wild Spoiled I'm So Jaded

Wet N Wild I'm So Jaded is my favorite polish from the Spoiled line. It's a gorgeous bright lime green, with a touch of neon, and gold shimmer. I wanted it right away when I saw swatches and I'm so glad it doesn't disappoint for me!

I can't stop staring at my nails while wearing it! It's bright and so pretty. If it weren't for the shimmer, I don't think I'd love it as much. It's a perfect color for summer and it would look amazing with a tan. Oh, and trust me, it looks way better in person! It was hard to capture how bright it is.

The formula isn't anything to write home about, it's kind of thick, but easy to work with. After three coats there is a tad VNL but it's not that noticeable and thicker coats could fix that. The drying time was average. The brush is wide and fluffy, but it was fine for me. Better than I expected. My only complaint is that it's cut irregularly with one bristle sticking out and too much polish pools in the brush.

My review might not show it, but I'm in love with I'm So Jaded! It's become one of my favorite greens. I have nothing remotely like it. It only cost me 99 cents and that makes my wallet very happy!

Haul Time!

Unfortunately my hockey team, the Los Angeles Kings didn't win on Wednesday, which really bummed me out, along with the whole family. But I'm hoping for a win tonight. We'll be going back to the same bar to watch the game, so it'll be fun!

Anyways, I really don't want to take off my current Kings mani until after the game, so today I'm just doing a simple haul post of all of the polishes I bought while on my hiatus during the last few weeks and beyond.

First up, random bright, summery polishes:

Left to right: Sinful Colors Neptune, OPI Charged Up Cherry (found at a garage sale for 0.50 cents!!), and Spoiled I'm So Jaded

Now some beautiful greens:

Now my favorite part! Glitters:

Left to right: Icing Pre Game, Icing Shredded, and Spoiled Trust Fund Baby

So there you have it! I'm so excited to wear each and everyone, but I have to say, I'm really looking forward to wearing Icing Pre Game the most. No offense to the others. I can't help it. It's a party in a bottle type glitter, and well, if things go the way I'm hoping tonight, you will be seeing me wearing it very soon! Have a great Saturday!

Wet N Wild How I Met Your Magenta

Camping was fun, but I'm glad to be back home. I feel out of the majority when I say this, but pink polish isn't close to being my favorite and I hardly ever wear it. But, I can still appreciate a pretty polish when I see it and that's how I feel about Wet N Wild How I Met Your Magenta. It's a jelly bubblegum pink with gold micro shimmer and named after the show, How I Met Your Mother. 

I think it's brighter in person, but it's close enough. It's not the most unique color by far, but it's beautiful and it would look amazing on someone with a tan.

The only downside is that it's sheer, but that's expected with a jelly. This is three coats and my nail line is still visible. In this case, I really don't mind. The formula itself wasn't amazing, but not all that bad either. It went on great and dried some what fast, with a little bit of matte finish.

If you love pinks and or don't have something similar, I think it's a good option! It's only a $1.99, but above all, it's pretty. I'm glad I took a chance on it! Maybe I won't hesitate to try more pinks in the future.
