Rimmel Stiletto Red x WnW Party of Five Glitters

Rimmel Stiletto Red and Wet n' Wild Party of Five Glitters

No flash, no sun

Rimmel Stiletto Red x WnW Party of Five Glitters (in the sun)

I looove this mani! It's so festive and Christmas-y (I don't care if it's too early!)


I like Stiletto Red because it's on the warmer side, so it doesn't make the yellow undertones in my hands look weird. I only needed 2 coats but I did 3.

I applied 1 coat of Party of Five Glitters, which is becoming one of my favorites. It gives such a chunky sparkly look to any nail polish. It also makes an amazing top coat because my nails barely chipped over the last week and a half (which is unheard of for me when it comes to drugstore polishes.)

Definitely pick up these two colors, they're both must-haves! And this mani was sooo quick and easy- you won't need to spend a lot of time applying a lot of coats. It looks so pretty because the huge chunks of glitter really catch light... I got lots of compliments on this one. :)

This Weekend's Pink Mini Makeup Haul

Isn’t my mini haul from the drugstore this weekend so cute? Everything is so…PINK! xD To find out what I think about each product, read on!

The Wet n’ Wild Spoiled Brat Eye Shadow Trio ($2) caught my eye because not many drugstore brands sell this vibrant fuchsia color (sorry that my first pic doesn’t do it justice, I did the best I could with rainy-day outdoor lighting). I applied all of them over Urban Decay Eye Primer Potion and all of the colors have great color payoff for a drugstore product! They are a bit powdery, though, and do fade, even with primer. Oh, well, I really just bought this for the pink color, anyway, so I’ll give this a 4/5. I can’t wait to do a pink smoky eye shadow look with this! ;)
The Wet n’ Wild Mega Brilliance Lip Gloss in Crushed Grapes ($1) is a very sheer Barbie-pink with multicolored glitter. The good thing about this gloss is that it is NOT sticky at ALL and it also tastes amazing. It’s not gritty, like most glittery glosses, either. That said, the color payoff is non-existent and the glitter is barely there once you put it on… I feel like you’d only be able to tell that there’s glitter on my lips if I was in direct sunlight. :( Boo… This gets a 2/5.
Wet n’ Wild FuchsiaRama ($2) is such a pretty medium-toned purple-pink color…(a bit more pink than it looks in the pic above). It’s perfect for Fall! I love that I finally found a purple that doesn’t make the yellow undertones in my skin look weird… (Cool-toned nail polishes make my hands look like a corpse.) This is a warm purple-pink, though, and flatters warm undertones! The formula is very sheer, but it’s pretty much a given that drugstore nail polishes need at least 3 coats, so I’m okay with it. I give it a 4/5.
Finally, we have Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Strobe Light ($3), which is STUNNING! I love Disco Ball, which is snowflake-colored glitter, but this is a close second! It’s a rose pink multi-colored glitter top coat and makes any nail polish more glam :) Love this! It gets a 5/5.

If I had to recommend only one of these products, I would definitely say to buy Strobe Light. You'll get the best quality for your money there. Hope this helps!
