Wednesdays We Wear Pink! Featuring Wingdust Collections

Nothing to Disclose

Ok so ya’ll know I love blue and teal and green.  But I also love PINK which is why I decided to start this series of pink posts!  I don’t know how long I’ll keep it up but I really kind of like them so we shall see!

Today I have a beautiful polish to show you.  Wingdust Collections Beach Bum!

Wingdust Collections – Beach Bum

Beach Bum is a luscious squishy hot pink jelly packed to the brim with all kinds of wonderful glitter!  I see tiny coral hexes, pink metallic dots, small silver holographic hexes, big silver holographic dots.  Basically a bunch of really awesome glitter!  The formula is really easy to work with and I had no trouble getting a decent glitter spread and good coverage in 2.5 coats.  Because of the length of my nails the free edge has a really prominent nail line and sometimes with jelly polishes it takes a little extra on the tips to combat that for photos.

I wore it with a stamped design that I did by using one of those dreaded french tip stamping plates.  Those things never “fit” my nail properly and I was staring at the one I have (you know you all have one too) and I thought “HEY, if I flip it it’ll be a HALF-MOON design” whaaaat.  That was pretty much how it went.  Anyway I used Sally Hansen – Silver Sweep to do the stamping and I was really pleased at how it turned out!

Polishes used:  Sally Hansen – 4-in-1 Complete Treatment; Wingdust Collections – Beach Bum; Sally Hansen – Silver Sweep; Digital Nails – Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That Topcoat.

You can get Wingdust from her Etsy Store.  Not to mention you can follow Wingdust on Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date on all the latest news.  Wingdust is also available at different stockists around the world so that anyone anywhere can get their own bottle of Wingdust.

Wednesdays We Wear Pink!

Some Products Were Provided for Honest Review

Hello my darling readers!  I’m back with a vengeance it seems!  I have my second “Wednesdays We Wear Pink” nail look for you this week!  I decided to use an untried and unloved Julep that was wilting away in my stash waiting for the perfect moment to be used.  I decided to pair it with a deliciously gorgeous lime green holo prototype that I received from Alchemy Lacquers.  So let’s GO:

So for this look I wanted something bright as bright could get and I think I achieved that!  So I started off by painting all my nails with Julep Monica which is a HOT Fuschia pink jelly polish filled with blue iridescent tinsel? shreds?  Not sure what it is it is unlike any other polish “bit” I’ve ever seen but they remind me of tinsel.  Then I got out the Alchemy Lacquers “Lab Sample” prototype which is a lime green holographic polish with a sneaky blue shimmer that went nicely with the blue tinsely stuff in Monica

On my forefingers I used some YouPolish nail vinyls to create a “lightning bolt” with the lime green.  I reviewed YouPolish nail vinyls right here!

I used a simple dotting tool to create the dots on my middle fingers.

On my ring fingers I did a “waterfall” design (Made popular by the AMAZING Nailasaurus – seriously ya’ll if you don’t follow her you SHOULD) using a striper brush.  I actually bought a brush set off Amazon and it wasn’t expensive but I did find I needed to cut off about half the bristles for it to be thin enough for the things I wanted to use it for.

On my pinkies I just did a simple stripe across the tip with the same striper.

That’s it – it was not hard at all and I have loved wearing this mani!

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink – Featuring Dollish Polish

Nothing to Disclose

SO dear readers.  I’ve decided to *try* (try is the operative word here) to pay homage to the awesome movie that is Mean Girls by starting up a regular post on Wednesdays that features pink in some way.   Starting this week with this post and boy howdy have I ever picked a good one for ya’ll to start off with.

Now, I pretty much adore Dollish Polish.  I have several and I just love them all.  I’ve had my eye on this baby for awhile because it is all kinds of pink and girly and therefore right up my alley!

Dollish Polish - It's So Fluffy I'm Gonna Die

Oh yes oh yes oh yes.  It’s So Fluffy, I’m Gonna Die is the most AMAZING pink crelly glitter bomb polish!  Swimming in the luscious soft pink crelly base are a plethora (like the big words?) of various glitters in all shapes and sizes and finishes.  Most importantly they are in all shades of pink!  I see matte neon pink hexes, small metallic pink dots,  small metallic raspberry dots, big holographic pale pink hexes, small satin pale pink squares and more!

For a crelly glitter bomb, oh this reminds me I want to make this a thing!  I think that we should call all crelly based glitter polishes…are you ready for my awesome idea?…CRITTERS!  So for a CRITTER bomb (see how awesome is that?) the formula on this was dreamy.  I’ve described before that CRITTERs can take a bit more patience with application but they are always worth a little extra time in my opinion.  This one however was delightful and was opaque with good glitter spread in just two coats.   I *did* flip my bottle over for awhile to give some of the bigger glitters a chance to re-percolate the rest of the bottle but that’s pretty par for the course with larger glitters!

Polishes used:  Glisten & Glow – Stuck on Blu; Dollish Polish – It’s So Fluffy, I’m Gonna Die; Carpe Noctem – Glitterslayer; Digital Nails – Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That Topcoat

Get ready for all the stalker links you will ever need to start amassing your own Dollish Polish collection (which I highly recommend).    You can find Dollish Polish on Facebook and Instagram.  You can purchase your own Dollish Polish at their site and also on Llarowe where there is an exclusive collection.  Also I would be HIGHLY remiss if I didn’t mention that Dollish Polish has teamed up with Jindie Nails for some amazing famous couples through history collaboration duos that are limited edition each month.  Seriously they have been just awesome so far and I can’t wait to see what they get up to for the rest of the year!
