Wet n Wild's Red Red vs N.Y.C.'s Big Apple Red Creme

Top Nail: Red Red - Second Nail: Big Apple Red Creme

From the swatches, you can see a slight difference. Red Red is more a true red while Big Apple Red Creme is a dark red. Both reds are very nice in formula as well as in color.

Design almost done and ready to be posted!

I just wanted to blog about my second design being almost done and ready to be posted for sale. I hope to have the topcoat on before the end of the day and a preview picture taken.

Wet n Wild's Blue Moon vs N.Y.C.'s Skin Tight Denim Creme

Top Nail: Blue Moon - Second Nail: Skin Tight Denim Creme

From the swatches, Blue Moon is more of a blackened blue while Skin Tight Denim Creme is more of a Royal Blue. Both have shimmers as well. Blue Moon has teal shimmers while Skin Tight Denim Creme has royal blue shimmers.

Wet n Wild's Bijou Blue vs N.Y.C.'s Empire State Blue

Top Nail: Bijou Blue - Second Nail: Empire State Blue

From the swatches, you can see they are pretty much the same color. The only difference is Bijou Blue is lighter while Empire State Blue is darker. Bijou Blue does have a shimmer like Empire State Blue, but Bijou Blue's shimmer is a light blue. Empire State Blue's is a light green shimmer. Both are very pretty.

Wet n Wild's Burgundy Frost vs N.Y.C.'s Broadway Burgundy Frost

As you can see from the swatches, Wet n Wild's version of Burgundy is a few shades darker than N.Y.C.'s version of Burgundy. Burgundy Frost is more of a burnt red while Broadway Burgundy Frost is more of a cherry red. The formula on both polishes are really good and anyone who buys them will not be disappointed.

Wet n Wild's Undercover vs Sinful Colors Vacation Time

Top Nail: Undercover - Second Nail: Vacation Time

As you can see from the swatches, Undercover has more of a pink hue than Vacation Time. Both in my book are in the same color family though. Each polish is 2 coats to become opaque. Undercover is like a pinkish mauve, while Vacation Time is great soft caramel color. Both polishes have great formulas. I highly suggest getting them. They both retail for about $2.00 at your local drugstore.

Another care package from my Ma!

So just the other day I came down with a cold. Boy do I hate getting sick. I'm sure other people hate it too. Well, my Ma called and she said I sounded awful and that she was going to surprise me with something. She came over last night with 600 full cover nails all in different shapes and sizes! She also got me some orange sticks as well! I was really surprised! When the fog and cloudiness goes away I'll be sure to take some pictures of my care package.

Short Nails!

So I decided to clip my nails today. My nails were getting so long that they were getting in the way a lot of the time. So I decided to clip them just a tad bit shorter. I used Nutra-Nail Strengthener with Green Tea Antioxidants for my clear coat on my nails.

The Nail Goddess Goes Purple!

I figured I would swatch some of my dark purples for you guys to see. I have more purples, but most are light to medium purples. I figured I would show you the dark ones first.


From Left to Right: Eggplant Frost, Plaza Plumberry, Valerie, Cut The Cake

Eggplant Frost: Red based purple with a BLUE flash/duo-chrome to it. It balances out the red based purple and gives it an amazing neutral quality. (e.g. it's neither warm nor cool colored)

Plaza Plumberry: Very standard vamp creme; it's a dark, dark plum, almost black.

Valerie: Royal purple, dark violet, red, deep pink and gold iridescence amplified by a glittering sparkle finish. Dark and complex but still warm and inviting

Cut The Cake: Golden plum color with golden shimmer.
