This is what I did yesterday with my nails. I applied a coat of Sally Hansen's Blue Me Away polish as a base, then applied China Glaze's Crushed Candy crackle polish on top.

I wore this on Saturday night. I used around four colours on the 88 Palette, and I'll be updating the product list later.






Wet'n'Wild Don't Steal My Thunder Trio: Review, Pictures Swatches

Theres been a lot of hype about these trios, so I finally decided to buy one. There are a lot of pictures for this review, so I wrote a lot of captions for each picture to specify what I'm showing. :P
  • Packaging:  The palette comes in a plastic package. It's cheap, but if you don't throw it at your wall angrily I'm sure it'll be fine. They're really easy to store. It comes with two makeup brushes- a tiny sponge brush and some sort of cheap angeled brush. When I used the palette and brushes for a practice look, I used only the sponge brush and the angle brush, I definitely wouldn't recommend using them for the application. 
  • Product: These trios are well pigmented, and one of the best drugstore palettes you can find at this price. They're easy to blend, and they're very soft. If you look at the pictures, you can see that I accidentally tried to pick up the product too roughly, so some of it broke off.  
    • Don't Steal My Thunder: is a trio with a frosted white brow shade, a shimmery silver eyelid colour, and a shimmery dark grey, almost black crease colour.
  • Final Thoughts: These are some of the best drugstore palette/trios you can find out there for such a great price because of their pigmentation and range of colours. Once again, I wouldn't use the brushes/sponge brush that the palette came with if you want goo application (see pictures). I definitely will be buying more soon.
  • Availability: $4.99, Wal-Mart, Loblaws Superstore, Wet'n'Wild
From left to right: Browbone, Crease, Eyelid
This is the practice look I did using the palette and brushes.

Back of the packaging.

The colours. The browbone colour looks really bright because of the flash.

I was fighting with the sticker seal when I first unwrapped it.

This really shows the softness of the eyeshadows.

Fall out.

Black Crushed Candy Nails

I did my nails last night with China Glaze's Crushed Candy Crackle polish because I was having people over. I applied Wet'n'Wild's black polish as a base, then applied Crushed Candy over that. I really liked the way it turned out.
