Wet n' Wild "24 Carrot Gold" Mega Last Lip Color Swatch

Oh check it out. Cheap lipstick swatch! Say whattt?!? Tee-hee yea, you thought i was kidding about bringing the makeup back to Kattatonic Fierceology. Today i have for you just a quick little lip stick i picked up while wasting money at Rite-Aid the other day. This is just a look at Wet n' Wild "24 Carrot."

Indoors no flash.

I was surprisingly pleases with this lip stick. For $1.99 i was kinda ready for crap. Though Wet n' Wild is know to be a bargain brand, i have rarely been too disappointed with the quality of any of their products. I feel like Wet n' Wild delivers an available, on trend product line at a reasonable cost so that their consumers can test out new trends with out great financial risk.

Check out my crooked nostrils.

"24 Carrot" or "24 Carrot Gold" is apart of the recent Mega Last Lip Color collection by Wet n' Wild. The formula of this lipstick was a little odd. It did have a great creamy feel, but it went on as a very thick creme feel. It did tug a little bit during application. On it;s own i feel i am left with dry lips though they feel creamy. I like to pair this lip stick with a gloss to smooth every thing out. Though the formula feels thick it doesn't apply as so.

I still like this lip stick a lot. You get a lot of product for a low price and very vibrant color. I'm all about pigmentation and this bargain buy delivers. You can find this lippie at Rite-Aid for around $1.99.

"Bunny Nails" Feat: Orly "Flirty"

They're cute hu? I got my idea for my bunny nails from Cute Polish around Easter. If you have never watched any of her videos i'd go check them out because, she has tons of tutorials that are easy to follow and excellent for people who don't feel confident in their nail art skills.

For this mani...
Orly "Flirty"
Wet n' Wild "French White"
China Glaze "Side Saddle"
Nubar "Oh Baby Pink"

Orly "Flirty" Happy Go Lucky 2011
I will never stop loving this polish. It was one of the firsts in my polish obsession and remains to this day to be one of my favorites. "Flirty" is a bight pink creme shimmer polish that dried with an interesting but not awful texture. In fact the texture is quite neat. My only gripe about this polish would be that the formula does have a tendency to be a little thick, but that helps to achieve opacity in two coats, shown above.

Wet n' Wild "French White" Core Wild Shine
Using the brush from French White i created half circles on my ring finger and thumb. With a dotting tool a used a generous amount to create the ears by dragging down a dollop into the half circle. This step can be rather intimidating, but if you practice on a nail wheel or even paper first you will be able to do this with confidence. Just remember to take your time. Also make sure you are using an opaque white. Sheer whites will only become troublesome.

China Glaze "Side Saddle" Rodeo Diva 2008
Nubar "Oh Baby Pink" Hypnotic Valentine 2010
With a dotting tool i used "Side Saddle" a dark shimmer brown for two large dots to begin my eyes. With a smaller dotting tool i made a small oval for the nose and filled in the ears.

Wet n' Wild "French White" Core Wild Shine
Again with the French White and my dotting tools. I used a medium dotting tool for the eyes. I continued with a larger dotting tool and gobs of polish to create my dripping mani on the rest of my nails. I achieved this by placing a series of dots where i wanted the drips to end and continued by filling in the empty spaces by dragging around the polish with my dotting tool. I was sure to be generous in the process to ensure i didn't snag on my layer of "Flirty."

I finished with a top coat. This was such a simple design that i positively loved. It does take a bit of time and patience but i do think the end product it worth it.

Kush Season

I'm very proud to introduce one of my latest frankens "Kush Season." This color credit goes to my lovely boy friend who designed and named this shade. I recently got in a bunch of franken supplies and he was kinda almost excited as i was to make one. This is his color and despite what i wanted to do to it, i let it be his creation. In the end it became a bright gold green with blue glitter and a bit of holo glitter in the mix as well. Now were no professionals, but i think we did an alright job with this one. Regardless, it's still my new favorite polish ever :)

 

 

A lot of the blue glitter ended up sticking to the sides of the bottle but there was still plenty mixed in with the actual polish. I kinda liked the way it all stuck to the side. At one point it was all concentrated in a ring in the center of the bottle, it was neat.

The blue glitter defiantly takes the stage over the green but to the right you can see more of the scattered holo in the back ground. The gold flecks in the green take away from a lot of its potential.

Fun part! I left this color on for about a day before i could no longer fight the urge to add to it. I wanted more gold in the polish to begin with so i though a gold and black leopard print would be perfect, i was right.

For this mani i used...

Frankened "Kush Season"

Finger Paints "Where Art Renoir?"

Wet n' Wild Unknown mini copper

I started my spots by making blotches of copper close to one corner of my nail. Following those blotches i half way surrouned them with "Where Art Renoir" and added tiny dots of that in between to create a leopard feel

Glitter Digger (Nails)

Happy Monday every one! I was going to post my "Blue Monday" mani for the Polishaholic's weekly challenge, but then i realized i had this on my camera! Something else i realized when i got to work this morning, i forgot to release my pet caterpillar Senor Verde and he died over the weekend :/ But when i got home my order from Just Simply Minerals was here! So it was a bitter sweet day, alright day over all. Can't wait for tomorrow to try my new shadows and probably do my nails again! Oh! And i'm going to the eye doctor. My mom thinks i might either be suffering from chronic dehydration, or have a brain tumor. Hopefully i'm fine. :D

Wet n' Wild Silk Finish Lipstick in "Nouveau Pink" (Review)

Next part from the Quest For candy Yum Yum is a recommendation i got from a few girls in the online makeup community. This is defiantly the super cheat alternative to CYY if you're really on a budget. It's not really up to my standards for the perfect dupe but it was worth a try.

Wet n' Wild Silk Finish Lipstick in "Light Berry Frost" (Review)

So i'm just going to totally ignore your requests to see Stormy Pink and Fuchsia Fever first because well, i don't listen well some times, and i took pictures of these first. >.< But i'll do those two next and if i get them done today i'll schedule them to be posted before this one...but we'll see. Yea....those words are going to mean nothing by the time you read them. Oh well, what's typed it typed. So for now i'm doing Wet n' Wild, if you need to gawk some more at the other bright pinks i got, go check out the Quest for Candy Yum Yum post. Though this quest may be other soon if i can get my hands on that color from High Voltage >.>

Wet N' Wild ColorIcon Pencils in White and Silver (Review)

Wet n' Wild sure is creative with their product names hu? I picked these up at Walgreens last weekend for really no reason other then the fact that they we're only $0.69! I got two of their lipsticks too. So this review isn't aprt of a haul or anything. Just a filler untill i decide if i'm going to to Quest for Candy Yum Yum, or Products for Prom next. VOTE IN THE POLL ON THE SIDE BAR! ---> Help me decide!

Oh, and back on the Walgreen's thing. I am never going to their makeup section ever ever again.

Everything was either sticky or covered in this weird oily substance. I had like three people that worked there hovering over me making sure i wasn't stealing anything. And it took forever to check out because every one there pays in cash and has to dig threw their purses to find their coupons -__- It was terrible. And the guy at the register was a total creeper.
