Wet N' Wild Mega Last Perfect Petites Holiday 2012 set swatches!

I got another awesome set for Christmas, this time from my parents! This is the Wet N' Wild Mega Last Perfect Petites set. It comes with 8 "petite" (or mini) nail polishes. All polishes are 5ML each. This was a cool little deal from drugstores (CVS and I believe Rite Aid had them as well) around Christmas. I will be posting the colors below as well as pictures of the swatches on a nail wheel (I won't be doing real life swatches as these bottles are smaller than normal.)

The box (which my camera did not want to focus well for...I blame the silver backing of the package :)) :

037The first polish of the set (which also didn't want to focus...again I blame the coloring of the actual polish... :)) :

038

This is 202B- Break the Ice. Break the Ice is a pretty shimmery, almost pearlescent white. It has subtle silver shimmer which is why I don't think my camera could focus on it...apparently my camera doesn't enjoy silver, but I do :) Two coats got it as opaque as a a pearlescent polish can get.

039This is 205B- Sugar Coat. Sugar coat is a pale pink color. I'm personally confused on it because it's so pale that it could be considered a light nude. I don't really know...it's pretty either way :) In bottle as you can see, it looks almost off white, but on nail it's a nudeish pink color. At two coats, it still was sheer, so it may be a 3 or 4 coater which is a let down.

040This is 209C - Candy-Licious. This is a beautiful pink creme. I'd like to call it a perfect bubblegum creme, but unfortunately it's a little too dark. Two coats is PERFECT coverage with this polish (which I LOVE, like I Need a Refresh-Mint and On a Trip from the same collection).

041This is 214C- I Red a Good Book. This is a beautiful, true red. Although this is a beautiful red, I feel that the formula is very thin. I'm really not a fan of thin polishes, and this reminds me of a stain more than a polish.

042This is 215B- Haze of Love. This is a very vampy, maroony plum color. This is a PERFECT fall color. Two coats and it was perfectly opaque.

043This is 216B- Under Your Spell. This is another vampy, mysterious color that's perfect for fall. It's a sheer black base with gorgeous maroon micro glitters in it. I'm a huge fan of black bases and fine glitters in the same polish. Two coats and it's opaque :)

044This is 217B- Disturbia. This is a very deep deep purple. In bottle it has an almost bright purple/pink shimmer to it, almost like a duochrome but on nail it has nothing of the sort. It literally looks like a blackish purple polish with no hints of shimmer or glitter unless you look very up close. This is a perfect reasoning why you should never judge a polish by it's bottle ;) This was completely opaque in 2 coats.

045

 

This is 208B- Through the Grapevine. This is a very bright, vibrant fuchsia color which I'm a HUGE fan of. This color somewhat reminds me of a brighter Wet N' Wild Fast Dry Fuchsiarama. Two coats and this was fully opaque :)

This is the swatch of all of the colors!:

046From left-right: Break the Ice, Sugar Coat, Candy-Licious, I Red a Good Book, Haze of Love, Under Your Spell. Disturbia and Through the Grapevine.

Glam Chick Caviar Nail Kit UNBOXING!

Hello! I received this Glam Chick Caviar Nail Kit for Christmas from my loving sister. I was so happy! I've been looking for caviar nail sets EVERYWHERE and could not find them (I bought a wheel off of Ebay, but when they came in, the little beads were everywhere and I lost more than half of them...)


I decided to do a "blog unboxing" and just show you all what is in this awesome kit.

Here is the picture of the kit itself:

048The kit is literally just fantastic. The coloring of the beads are beautiful and bright.

It comes with 6 vials of beads, Silver polish, a top coat, a glittered nail file and an orange stick! I've never seen this before, and was searching all over the package to see if I could find where it was from, and it says "Made exclusively for Five Below Stores". Five Below is one of my FAVORITE stores ever and I believe it's only on the East Coast...I may be completely wrong though. But basically it is what it says it is...it's a store where everything is either $5 or below, and they have a TON of awesome neat products, beauty products, technology, video games, movies, books, toys, really anything.

NOTE: I didn't take a picture of the orange stick or top coat...they weren't picture worthy :)

Anyways, this post isn't about that store, it's about what is in the box! The first thing I pulled out of the box was the Silver polish:

049This is a beautiful silver polish that looks like it has some foil in it. I haven't yet swatched this color because I'm going to be doing a whole post on possibly a tutorial or just how my nail looks caviared (that's not even a word...) This bottle is a 6ML bottle which is an awesome size for a small kit.

The next thing out of the kit was the nail file!

050This nail file is SO beautiful. It has all the colors of the beads in glitter form on the top...and it's a nail file...pretty self explanatory.

Now onto the beautiful beads! First up:

051I honestly can't get over this purple color...it's so pretty! It's a bright, almost neon purple, and I'm in love. I'm in love with neon colors in general, but this just pops out to me. (All of these beads are in glass vials with a plastic pull top)

052This is the black color...which is pretty straightforward. It's still pretty nonetheless.

053EEK! THE RAINBOW VIAL :D! I love this one...it has all of the colors in the kit already mixed together PLUS a few other colors. This is awesome because although a mixed look would be awesome, I wouldn't want to ruin the individual colors by mixing them together, but with this, you don't have to :)

054Now my hands down FAVORITE vial of the bunch. The neon aqua/teal color! kfsljfa LOOK AT IT! So gorgeous! I can't wait to use this one...I've been trying to decide which color to pair with this one (nail polish wise).

055

 

This one is another straightforward... an obvious pretty gold color :)

056Last but certainly not least, this awesomely beautiful hot pink color. Again, one of my favorites. I love this color!!! I can't wait to pair this up with the silver polish!

That's the end of the unboxing of the Caviar set...I'm really digging the looks of all of the items in here, and I can't wait to actually use them :) I like that you not only have to do the Caviar design, but you can take the beads one by one and make designs on your nails.

Stay tuned for either the review of the product, or my designs with the product :)
