Wet N Wild Fergie Collection: "Hollywood Walk Of Fame" Nail Polish

I finally found another Walgreen's close to me that has these frickin' Wet N Wild "Fergie" polishes.  I love this one-"Hollywood Walk Of Fame".  It has a clear base and multicolored star glitters and small bars.  So cute!  

I layered it on top of Sinful Colors "Star Fish", a cool pink creme:

(2 layers)

A little placement is necessary with the stars, but really you have to expect that of any glitters that have larger pieces inside.  The good news is that this has plenty of stars in the bottle, so getting them on your brush is no big deal:

Another win for Fergie!  I love it, although I can sort of "feel" the stars on my nails.  I probably should have doubled up on top coat.

What do you think of Hollywood Walk Of Fame?

The Lazy Days Of Summer Challenge: Day 4-Flip Flops

I'm on Day 4 in The Lazy Days Of Summer nail art challenge!  The theme for Day 4 is "Flip Flops".

I used Wet n Wild "I Need A Refresh-mint" for the turquoise and then topped those with China Glaze "Fairy Dust" (which, OMG, is awesome!).  For the other nails, I used Sinful Colors "Island Coral" and then using a dotting tool put white polka dots on top.  I used OPI "Onyx" for my straps.  I wish the straps came out a little less lumpy, but hey- it was my first try ;-)  I used a silver accent 'ball' to top off the straps:

Here is the line up for the rest of the challenge!

Wet N Wild Fergie Collection: Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night

Limited released Wet N Wild collections are the bane of my existence. I love them so much and always have such a difficult time tracking them down (which is probably why I love them so much in the first place- you know, the whole 'hunting & gathering' thing that is inside all of us.  All worth it for the rush of joy that I feel when I finally track down what I'm looking for!).  This new "Fergie" collection (named for Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas, who is a WnW Ambassador) is not available everywhere.  I've checked several Walgreen's (7 total) and was finally able to find one (in Massachusetts, I might add- while we were visiting family) and they didn't even have all of the ones I've seen online. "Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night" is the ONE I was after- it's a clear base with small black glitters and larger gold hex glitters.  It is fantastic.

PS. Do you know how weird you sound asking the teenage girl working at Walgreen's if they have the new "Fergie Wet N Wild" polishes?  I mean, it didn't stop me from doing it, but I did sound like a weirdo, especially since the girl had NO CLUE what I was referring to!

Here it is, layered over Cult Nails "Devious Nature":

(2 layers of Devious Nature; 1 layer of TGBAGN)

And here's a shot of Devious Nature before I layered over it.  Such a perfect hot pink and it applies like a jelly-creme.  Delicious!

Have you been able to find these near you? Which Fergie polishes are the must haves?

The Lazy Days Of Summer Challenge: Day 3-Flag Day

Here I am, on day 3 of The Lazy Days Of Summer Challenge!  Today's theme is "Flag Day", and with the 4th of July coming up, I couldn't wait to try out a manicure idea I had in my head, using my new Wet N Wild "Stars & Stripes" polish that my friend Brandi sent me :)

Here is what I did.

I used Sally Hansen "Thinking Of Blue" as a base on 2 of my nails then topped it with Wet N Wid "Stars & Stripes).  For the other 2 nails, I did a white base color and then used my red striping tape:

BUT WAIT!  You need to see my thumb too, because it is my favorite:

Bam!

 American Flags & Fireworks go together like peas & carrots (Forest Gump?).

For my thumb, I used OPI Onyx as my base color.  I then took a small brush and painted Julep Sienna (gold) on.  After that, I went over it with China Glaze "Electrify".  Explosive!

L-R: Thinking of Blue, WnW Craze White, Onyx

L-R: Stars & Stripes, Sienna, Electrify

So there you have it!  I feel like my pictures are crap today, but at least you get the idea.  (Side note: I really need a new camera, but don't want to break the bank.  Any suggestions?)  Are you going to do an Independence day manicure this year?
