Tape Mani - Lightning Bolts

This is my second tape mani that I have attempted and I'm super happy how it turned out! The tutorial I used for this mani is from Nailside, she is a tape master! Visit her site for this mani and much more! For this mani I used Wet n Wild Black Creme as a base and I used Wet n Wild Silvivor for the tips as well as Buffy the Violet Slayer. Buffy the Violet Slayer is too beautiful for my camera but you can see a true color swatch here. 





I had used scotch tape for my first tape mani, but went to grab the roll and saw it was empty. Plan B was set in motion and I grabbed the duct tape and hoped it would turn out, and it did! I also liked the duct tape because I have deep ridges along the sides of my nails and the duct tape is pliable enough to stay put there. I decided on an accent nail with the double lighting bolt and I love it. 


Have you guys tried a tape mani yet?

Wet n Wild Jelly Sandwich

Happy Sunday Everyone! Hope you guys are having a great weekend. I just got off work early so my weekend just got better!Today I have for you another couple Wet n Wild polishes. I made my jelly sandwich from Wet n Wild FuchsiaRama and Party of Five Glitters. I have used Party of Five Glitters for this type of mani before because it pops under the coat of jelly polish. I really like the look of layering the glitter under a coat of the thin color because it gives it a bit of sophistication. Or at least that is what I tell myself.



Fuchsia Rama can be layered to be opaque it just takes 3 to 4 coats.





I used two coats of Party of Five Glitters and one thin layer of FuchsiaRama over it.

Confession time: I am really not supposed to be wearing polish where I work. I work for like a sub-company within that company and we don't really adhere to all their rules. If we did my boss would be out of luck because her nails are insane! But anyways, I still don't like to draw that much attention to my nails because I have seen girls who were made to take off their polish! Sounds like a crime huh? So the subtlety of a jelly sandwich still gives me my glitter in a more toned down way! I love both of these polishes and I could not quit staring at my nails all day!

Wet n Wild - Hannah Pinktana

Happy Saturday Guys! Today I wanted to show you a couple polishes that I got from Wet n Wild. I loved the How I Met Your Magenta I swatched the other day and didn't want to take it off. I took it off but it will be back soon! My next favorite was Hannah Pinktana which if you know me I despise everything Miley Cyrus so it was very un-natural for me to like this but, I did.



What color would you call this?



Blurred to show sparklyness!


First of all Hannah Pinktana is not really all that pink. It is a hard color to pin point it's not really a purple and it is not really a pink. It's also a very sheer polish so I decided to pair it with another polish I got from Wet n Wild. It is an awesome silver that has a splatter mani coming in its near future. I used one coat of Wet n Wild Silvivor as a base and layered two coats of Hannah Pinktana over. I really like the polish it has a holo kick to it that I love. The polish dried to a semi-matte smooth finish. It was also really easy to remove. Well I hope you guys have a good weekend! I work weekends, so my weekend starts Monday and I can't wait!!

Wet n Wild Checkerboard Nails

I got inspired by Gotham Nails post about her trip to Bloomingdales. I already had white nails from my summertime mani so I decided to try out my first tape mani. Now I am not an expert at this by no means so go to Gotham nails post link I provided becase she has the "tape masters" links at the bottom of her posts. It's like the blind leading the blind over here at the Polish Diary!





To be honest I scared myself with this one. It was actually super easy. I just cut small squares of tape and placed them on my nails and painted my favorite black (Wet n Wild Black Creme) that goes on in one coat. I then pulled the paint off. I will tell you that what I learned is to pull the tape off ass soon as you get your design painted. Do not allow to dry because it ruins the design when you go to pull it off.  I also submitted this design for the Wet n Wild Summer Giveaway Contest you can see the entry form here. You can follow them on Twitter at @wetnwildbeauty and while you are there follow me @ThePolishDiary.

Faux Water Marble Second Attempt

So this is my second attempt at the faux marble. I have heard this technique called faux water marble as well as tie-dye nails. The best way to explain it is to watch it so head on over to Dollface22772 YOU TUBE Channel and see for yourself. The polishes I used for mine was China Glaze Platinum Silver, OPI That's Berry Darling, Wet n Wild Dream Poppy and Blazed. My mistake has been that I am using a toothpick when I should be using a needle or straight pin. I will be trying this again for sure! It's so easy I hope to master it soon.





Do you guys water-marble? Does this look like a way faster process to you with similar results?

Wet n Wild - How I Met Your Magenta

So I had this and some other polishes arrive in the mail yesterday and I could not wait to put this on my nails! I got the remover straight out and went to work.  This color is a bright pink shade with a gold shimmer. It reminds me of some polishes I have seen recently that I could not afford. Wet n Wild How I Met Your Magenta is from the Wet n Wild Fast Dry line. The polishes deliver on the fast dry even thought they do dry to a matte finish. But I'm a topcoat kind of gal with even the shiniest polishes so it does not bother me. The polish was a thin consistency I have two coats in the photo below. Next time I wear this shade which I will, I will put it on top a opaque white or silver that I own. Overall I love this polish and will be wearing it again soon!









Did I mention I already put this on my toes too! It's so pretty!
What do you guys think?

Wet n Wild Summertime Mani

Happy Monday Everyone! I love white polish for summer time. It's so bright and always gets noticed. I am really into the accent nail right now as well so I paired the two. I have swatched both of these colors previously but I love them. Both are opaque in two coats and they dry fast! I used Wet n Wild French White Creme and Dream Poppy.







Do you guys like white polish?

Wet n Wild - Dream Poppy

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! I know I did. Well I picked this color up the other day and have been dying to try it. The color is called Dream Poppy and it is from the Wet n Wild - Wild Shine Collection (The cheap stuff!). This photographed much more bright pink than it actually is. I went through all the pics and not one really represented the color all that great. The color is most closest to the color that is on my pinky finger in the picture below.




This was 2 coats


Such a lovely pink!

My First Splatter Mani

I have been wanting to try out this mani forever! I have not done it sooner because my boyfriend said I had to go outside and do it, guess he is still scared from the water marbling. Well if you follow me on Twitter you know that I have been complaining about the heat here. It finally cooled off a tad here so I decided to venture outside last night and splatter! My base coat for my nails was Wet n Wild Black Creme which is my favorite black! Black Creme only requires one coat and it dries ultra shiny. The brush on my black was a little caddywhompus (haha yes I used that word!) but I trimmed it a bit and no complaints. The polishes I chose for my splatter technique were: the Sally mini my mom got me; Sally Hansen Blue Me Away; Pure Ice Wild Thing. I started off by taping my fingers so when I go to splatter my nails, it wont get all over my fingers. I placed two strips on each side of my finger and one across the bottom of my nail.



I then put a couple globs of paint on my paper that I had laid down on the patio table. I dipped my straw into the paint and directed it toward my nail and blew. As PolishAholic put it so nicely a strong fast puff of air works best. I did one hand at a time with one color at a time as well. I found that the bright green was the easiest to splatter. I wanted more of a splattered pattern and then it came to my mind to maybe use a coffee straw. So I will raid the local Walgreen's Cafe and get back to you!



Sorry for the messy cuticles some of my tape fell off. I used one coat of OPI Top Coat over the splatter.


My boyfriend or assistant as I call him now, suggested I get a painters tray that is egg shaped so I could dip the straw a bit more into the paint. I will definitely be trying all of this and reporting back.

OPI & Wet n Wild Jelly Sandwich

Awhile back I posted my first jelly sandwich and I have yet another. This time I used OPI Y'all Come Back Ya Hear? and Wet n Wild Party of Five Glitters. I love the OPI sorbet shades from the Texas Collection. There application is amazing! I really loved this with the different color sparkles that is Party of Five Glitters.





I really want a coral sorbet (jelly) polish. I need the Guy Meets Gal-veston from the Texas Collection. May have to add it to the list! Any suggestions?

Neutral Cheetah Nails

Awhile back i had some nails that I had posted for Flickr Nails Tuesday that I fell in love with. They were a cute take on the cheetah nail. It was more of a neutral design. I had to try this mani out myself. I applied a coat of Wet n Wild French White Creme to make my nail opaque. I applied two coats of Sinful Colors Social Ladder (thin consistency). I made my dots using Rimmel-Steel Gray. The black outlines were made using Wet n Wild Black Creme. This was a pretty simple mani. I used a toothpick for making the black lines. I can't wait to try out my next adventure (Splatter Nails), but the boyfriend said I had to do that outside. I guess he is still recovering from my water marbling adventure.



What are your favorite cheetah combos?

Summer Coral Nails

I have never owned a coral polish until the other day. I bought Wet n Wild Wild Shine Blazed. It is a beautiful color and it makes me wonder why I have not bought any coral polishes in the past. The polish was a bit streaky but two coats was all it took to have a fully opaque nail. So summer-y!!




The pic is a bit blurry but really shows off the bright coral




What are your favorite coral polishes?
