Manicure Monday

So I totally hated this mani, but still decided so show you my fail >__< I wanted to make a milky glitter sandwich and my sheer creme was just too creamy. I did a base of NYC Long Wearing in French White Tip then did a layer of Spoiled in Trust Fund Baby for the glitter.  I topped it off with another layer of white.  I was hoping since the white was somewhat sheer that this would work.  And it totally didn't.  But hey, I tried!

Swatch: Spoiled in Show Me the Money

To keep with the theme of super bright nails in freezing weather (ok freezing for California. aka freezing for wimps) This is a super bright shimmery blue.  I really love this color! Only problem is it is a bit sheer, I had to use 4 coats for these, but they dried really fast so it wasn't that big of a deal.

On a side note, this cold weather is killing my nails! *sniff* I think I will be stuck with nubbins for a while. So sad! At least nubbins look good in bright colors ^__^

Swatch: Spoiled in Club Rat

Today is Spoiled in Club Rat. This is a bright pink jelly with micro flakie glitter.  This is with three coats, and you still see the nail line. I also had trouble getting consistent coverage at the tips, they still look white in spots.  This polish might look better layered over a creme.  I'm going to have to play with this one for some jelly sandwich time!

There is an awesome sale going on at CVS right now on the Spoiled by wet n wild nail pail.  You get 7 full size Spoiled polishes, two wet n wild fast dry top coats, a nail file, and two toe separators for $9.99.  But this week they are on sale for $6.99 with $3 in extrabucks.  Thats $3.99 for the whole thing! I wanted to show you guys what I got in mine, and do some really quick (and ugly) swatches in case anyone wants to check it out this week while on sale. 

The bucket: (look everywhere, I found mine just sitting on the floor next to the regular Spoiled display)

Two glitters, a silver and a gold

Three shimmers: 

Two crackles. Yes, crackles.  I know I know, most of us are over them.  But I am excited for the purple crackle. 

And now...the worst swatches of my life.  These are with two quick coats.  Just wanted to give you guys a quick idea of what they look like out of the bottle. 

Thumb: Club Rat

Index Finger: Show Me The Money

Middle Finger: Distant Memory

Ring Finger: Pirate's Booty

Pinky: I Have No Reception

Now the crackles.  The purple one didn't really show up, I wanna try it over black to see how it pops.  I think it was competing too much with the iridescent shimmer in the base color. 

Are all the colors amazing? No, but for $3.99 it really is a great buy.  As long as you like two of the colors you are getting your moneys worth.
