Hard Candy! Fave Bronzer Swatch Hula Hula

Hard Candy's Hula Hula Bronzer

So this was in my faves for last years picks for 2010, I'll be doing a new one shortly (along with a givvvvveaway *wink), but I realized I never uploaded the Swatch for Hard Candy Hula Hula. Now, this bronzer really is meant to give a glow. I wouldn't use this to contour or add shadow to the face, but this I use on the cheek bones for that true sun-kissed appearance. I have used this year round and it's such a good buy! It's not the only bronzer I use, but it's definitely the MOST used. The one think I like about this bronzer that I find hard to balance in other bronzers, is that it's got a sheen when you apply it-- so it's definitely not matte but it's also NOT sparkly.

If you haven't figured out... this is a RAVE review! :)

It's super cheap and you can find it at your local drugstore/Walmart!

Cheers!

China Glaze Swatches: Peace on Earth

China Glaze Peace on Earth

Though I am not usually a fan of olive shades of nail polish, I think I really like this! It's a streaky pearl polish (meaning that it gets lines in it) but if your someone who loves olive, this might be it. Though, you may have to search for it a bit since I think it was limited edition.

Wet N' Wild Swatches: Maui

Wet N' Wild Nail Craze Swatch: Maui

This is without a flash, but the nail color seems more true in this pic...

I don't know why these nail polishes are more expensive than the regular Wet n Wild polishes... you get less in these ones? Before you ask, no it's not like For Audrey by China Glaze.... it's more of a deeper cyan shade of blue than the robin-egg blue of For Audrey. It is a little thicker of a formula or at least seems more opaque than the other Wet n' Wild polishes I've tried. I have to admit, I do think the packaging is cute but the brush stem is really short and I don't like that I don't get as much control with the brush as you would get with a normal length nail polish applicator. The color is beautiful.... which I guess is the most important detail of nail polish. Two healthy coats for this one.

Wet n Wild Swatches: Night Prowl

Swatch: Wet N Wild polish in Night Prowl

(Sorry for the sloppy application... :s)
Alright, so up for my bargain ladies- some Wet n' Wild nail polish! Super duper cheap at your local drugstore you can probably find this new shade called "Night Prowl". It has a very rich appearance, it's deep and dark (black) with magenta-colored glitter. I really love it in the bottle.... on my fingers, well... it's not too bad but it needs two good coats, in fact on the first swipe you might feel disappointed. Its a sheer black (which looks kind of like dark blue) and not much glitter is seen on the first coat. The second brings out the shade you see in the bottle. Either way, I do like this shade, I definitely add a top coat to it to give it extra shine and preserve it since I found this polish chips easily. I have a few other colors from Wet n' Wild and they all seem to chip after a day. For under $2 you can't really complain, though :)
