Nude Nails and Ugly-Pretty Colors (but mainly just ugly)!!

So I went to Walgreens on Sunday and bought four polishes, two Wet and Wild Mega Last polishes, one Wet and Wild Fast Dry polishes and one Essie polish.  The three Wet and Wild polishes were $1.99 and the Essie polish was $8.00.


The two Wet and Wild Mega Last Polishes are Wet Cement and I Need a Refresh-Mint.


Wet Cement is a greige, creamy color.  I only used three coats and it applied flawlessly for a second coat.  I LOVE the brushes, they are HUGE!!!  I would say that Wet Cement is an almost dupe for OPI's You Don't Know Jacques!



I Need A Refresh-Mint is a gorgeous creamy Tiffany Blue color, and not as much a mint as I expected it to be.  The brush is also very wide like Wet Cement.  I would say that this color is a dupe for China Glaze's For Audrey.


The Fast Dry polish that I bought from Wet and Wild is Gray's Anatomy.  This is a lilac, green, and muted sky blue multi-chrome color.  This brush is not as wide as the Mega Last brushes.  Many people say that is a dupe for Butter London's Knackered, although its more of a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Wicked Game because Knackered has iridescent shimmers in it.  If you were to add silver shimmer top coat over it, then it would look more like Knackered than Wicked Game.


Lastly, this is my Essie polish.  It is called Armed and Ready, and it was from the Go Overboard collection.  It would definitely fit into the Ugly-Pretty Colors group, like Butter London's Wallis, but sadly this color was much more ugly than pretty.  Excuse my language, but it is the color of poop with copper shimmers in it.  I probably won't ever wear it again, and now I am kicking myself because I was contemplating whether or not to get Bahama Mama or Size Matters or Angora Cardi, but I decided that I would get Armed and Ready, and I was sadly disappointed.

New Manicure!!!!

Okay Guys, so I changed my nails from the teal and copper to a caviar manicure using the Ciate caviar mini bar set.  I decided not to use a polish that came within the set, so I used Sally Hansen's Blue Me Away! which is a pretty aqua blue.  On my ring finger, I put the Candy Shop pearls on, which are orange, hot pink, and aqua pearls.

New Mani!!

So I haven't changed my nails in a long time because I had so may colors that I want to try!  So I chose two colors randomly and they look pretty awesome together! I am trying this new look so that three fingers are one color and the remaining two are a different color.  I got this idea from ArcadiaNailArt on youtube doing a review on the Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Away Collection (I will link the video below the picture).  So I painted my thumb, pointer finger, and middle finger Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Black and Blue.  This is a great drugstore dupe for Essie's Dive Bar.  For those who don't know what it looks like, it is a navy base with green and purple duo-chrome and then aqua micro glitters.  On the ring finger and pinky, I painted Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength in Antiqued Bronze. This is a great dupe for OPI's Brisbane Bronze.  It is really just the color of a penny and I really love the copper and the teal together.
