This is to review Wet n Wild Wild Shine in Burgundy Frost.  This is a dark burgundy frosted color so it has the light shimmer to it.  The consistency is very good, its not to thick and not to thin.  It went on fairly opaque.  It only took 2 coats to achieve an even all over color.  I would recommend this for someone who is seeking a cheaper burgundy, maybe for stamping or something like that.  It has a quick dry time, so was a pleasure to apply. Here it is on:

Alright well some of you may know that about a week before Easter I organized a small Surprise Easter Swap.  There were 10 of us involved and we did not send to the person that was sending to us.  The rules were simple, send at most 3 polishes, Easter candy, some sort of nail art, and a surprise (whatever you want it to be).  So here are the results with who sent what to who :)

Jess from BeautyGnome received this from Christy H.

Lisa of Cosmetic Sanctuary received her fav candy from Nicole O.

Alright well here I will be reviewing a few different sparkle topcoats for you.  I will start with CoverGirl's Pink Twinkle and Ruby Dust.  The other one is Petites in Pink Diamond.  The Pink Twinkle is very pretty over black and white, although you can't really see it in the pictures over the white.  Its a pink jelly type base with gold flecks in it.  Application is great. It goes on very nicely.  Like this one a lot.  Then there's Ruby Dust, this is a little more difficult to apply.  It's got a rosy pink jelly type base with small rose colored circle glitters, and hexagonal holographic glitter.  The hex glitter are difficult to get onto the nail.  You really have to work at getting them onto the nail off the brush.  This is a major downfall.  It's really pretty in the bottle, but it doesn't go on well at all.  Last is the Petites in Pink Diamond. This is a clear jelly type base with rosy pink micro glitter and small round glitters.  This goes on very nicely and looks really good over white or by itself. (All topcoats are shown with 2 coats)
So here they are!

Pointer and ring finger are CoverGirl Ruby Dust and middle and pinkie are CoverGirl Pink Twinke

Alright well I figured I would share with you a little bit of nail art that I did for a contest on Refined and Polished.  She wanted people to use her nail art to either replicate what she had done, or use what she had done for inspiration.  So I went with the inspiration.  She had a couple of different ones where she incorporated the Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon.  Well I am all for finding the cure and I love pink so of course I was all about that one.  But then I saw a "jelly sandwich" mani and I hadn't tried one of these...so, of course I decided to do both in one.  Here is are the results:

So this look was achieved with many many layers of polish! I used L.A. Colors Pink-a-boo and I sandwiched that with Jordana Pink Hearts topped that with China Glaze Fairy Dust (because when it's got to do with cancer you can always use a little fairy dust).  Now I achieved the depth by going pink, hearts, pink, hearts, pink, glitter.  Like I said many layers.  Then the accent nail is 4 coats of L.A. Colors White topped that with China Glaze Fairy Dust and the ribbon is Kiss Nails in Bikini Pink. I hope you enjoyed my nail art.  I know I enjoyed creating it.

As always thank you for checking out my posts and I hope you come back again soon.  Have a wonderful day and don't forget to smile, you never know whose looking :)

This is a review of L.A. Colors in White.  This is a very thin transparent polish.  It took three very heavy coats to get a decent cover.  The dry time is a little slower than some others, and it goes on very streaky.  Not enjoyable to apply at all.  I would not recommend this white polish.  It's just too hard to get the coverage in a decent amount of time.  Here are some pictures, it did photograph very well.

Alright, I was seriously lemming for an EOS sphere for a very long time! Every where I went locally was always sold out.  This was very frustrating, but told me that they must work or people wouldn't continue to buy them.  Well I saw them on Facebook (Evolution of Smooth) and decided that since I am a blogger and I do reviews of products why not contact them and see if they can get me some to try out! So I emailed them and sure enough, I got three! I was super excited! EOS (Evolution of Smooth) sent me Summer Fruit, Medicated Tangerine, and Sweet Mint.

Then on Easter my Mom got me another Summer Fruit and a Honeysuckle Honey Dew, and the EOS everyday hand lotion in cucumber scent for my purse.  My Grandma also got me the Summer Fruit sphere.  So now I have plenty for a while! But I did decide that since I had 3 of the Summer Fruit I would give 2 away! One is in a giveaway that ends today, and the other is for a future giveaway that I haven't completely decided on yet.  So back to why I'm writing this post! The reviews!
First for the sphere's! I tried each one of these and I do have to say that I love each of them in it's own way! I will start with the Summer Fruit.  This is packaged in the dark pink sphere.  It smells like watermelon to me, I'm sure others have different opinions, but that's what I smell.  Next, the Sweet Mint, this is definitely minty! It's packaged in the light blue sphere. It leaves your lips feeling a little tingly, which is actually nice. It has a minty taste to it also. Then, Medicated Tangerine, smells like tangerine with kind of a menthol hint under it (which I am sure is the medicated part of it). It has a sweet tangerine taste to it. No burning or stinging, like you get with a lot of the medicated lip balms.  This one is packaged in the orange sphere.  Last but not least Honeysuckle Honydew, which is packaged in the light green sphere.  It smells very sweet and melony.  It also has the sweet melon taste to it.  I love each of these in different ways for different days and moods.
All of these go on smooth and don't leave me feeling greasy. I love this, because as many of you know a lot of lip balms leave an funny feel to your lips.  Not the case here! They all have excellent staying power, I think the longest I remembered to keep track was 2 and a half hours, and it was still there moisturizing my lips.  This is a big plus to me, because I have 3 kids and they tend to lick all the lip balm right off, but not this one!! I tested each one that way too, and they all have their own sweet taste but even licking my lips a lot it stays put for a good hour.  Which is way better than the 20 seconds most others last in the same situation.  I made sure I had semi chapped lips when I started using each one the first time and they were back to normal in 2 days of using this product. I was very happy with it! I do recommend it all the time! I don't really have a favorite, because like I said before depending on the day and my mood is which one I choose.
Here's some info you can find on the EOS web page: This lip balm is 95% organic, 100% natural* (*applies to Summer Fruit, Strawberry Sorbet, Honeysuckle Honeydew, and Sweet Mint), and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, EOS keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.
There's more information about the products on their web page of course at evolutionofsmooth.com.

Now as you can see and as you read above I also got the EOS everyday hand lotion in cucumber. This has a nice cucumber scent that is just right, not over powering, but there so you can smell it. I have very sensitive skin, and this product worked great for me. A little bit goes a long way with this:
That little bit did both hands and my wrists. EOS doesn't leave you with the greasy feeling from it's lotion either, this is a major plus to me because I hate that greasy feeling on my hands from lotions.  It helped moisten up my hands in about 2 days.  And my hands get pretty dry, so I absolutely love that this product works and doesn't burn or sting like some lotions do when you have cracked hands. I have and will continue to recommend EOS to friends, family, and strangers!

EOS are my go to products for chapped anything! I can't wait to try more of their stuff. I still have to try to get my hands on the Strawberry Sorbet Sphere and the Lemon Drop Sphere.

Here I am reviewing Wet n Wilds FuchsiaRama.  This is a very transparent fuchsia color.  It appears to almost be a jelly base, but I am not sure about this.  It is a creme fuchsia, no glitter or anything like that, and the finish is not really glossy, but not quite a matte either.  It's fairly thick, which makes the transparency surprising.  The dry time is excellent though. Which is a good thing because it took 3 coats to get the coverage I was going for. Here are the pictures of it.
