Mini Nail Polish Haul... Weekly Swatches and Looks

I am going to try to buy at least one new nail polish each week to swatch and do a mini review on them. As well as quick looks you can do with that color/colors.. As well as being budget smart, everything I buy will be super affordable and easy to obtain! So here we go! WOOT WOOT!

This week I have 4 for you! I bought 2 Spoiled From Wet'N'Wild brand at a local drug store for $1.99 each and 2 L.A. Colors Craze Nail Polish brand at a local dollar store for a $1.. (click on pictures for full size :)

From left to right: From Spoiled is Ants In My Pants S025 and Deeper Dive S047. From L.A. Colors Hot Blooded CNP406 and Glistening Purple CNP445.

Gorgeous colors.. fell in love with them.. very fun and flirty.
The next few picture will be swatches on my acutal nails to show you the color and coverage.. All these are withlout top coat on and I wll never use a top coat when doing these weekly nail polish swatchs/review because everyone have a diffrent top coats and each one give the nail polish a diffrent finish. I wanted to show the polishs' true color.

From left to right: (3 coats) Gistening Purple, (2 Coats) Deeper Dive, 2 coats of Deeper Dive with 1 coat of Ants In My Pants over it

• Glistening Purple is a very  fine colored glitter in clear nail polish, I found this glitter polish easy to work with and not gloopy. Went on very easy. The glitter coveraged itself isn't that great if your looking for that glammed out glittered look. As you can see with 3 coats on its not much of a glitter gathering (haha I made up my own terms BOOM!) BUT if you pack it on lightly such as I did in my older post http://followyourdr3am.blogspot.com/2012/12/elegant-sparkle-nails.html You can get a decent coverage for a $1 nail polish. I see myself using this a lot.
• Deeper Dive is a highly pigmented shimmery blue/greenish/turquoise color. It as great coverage and goes on smoothly. I feel with only two coats you are good to go. The moment I put it on I saw it would be the perfect nail color for a Mermaid Halloween costume! It is a just gorgeous!

• Deeper Dive with Ants In My Pants over it is a combo you could do if you were short on time if you wanted a subtle sultry statement.. Or if your just starting to get into nail polish and just experimenting with nail art this is super easy to create. For very beginners layering a sparkly polish over a brightly pigmented base polish is a very good way to start learning how to use certain colors and types of polsihes. I do like this combo, I just feel like it needs a little more "pop" but I dont know what yet. If you have any suggestion please comment, I would love to here your ideas.

Pictured above: Ants In My Pants (3 coats)

• Ants In My Pants is a lightly almost charcoal black nail color with medium to fine red glitter in it. As pictured above 3 coats still doesn't give you the black out black background with blinging red glitter in it as I feel it precieves it will do. I feel though to get the desired effect the polish looks like it would give would take about 4-5 coats. That many coats will surely make you more likely to smudge and F*** up your polish/design. Also I felt like this was somewhat difficult to work with. I more and likely use this polish as a top glitter over various base colors or sometime around Halloween.

Pictured Above: Hot Blooded (2 coats)

• Hot Blooded is a subtle warm red. It is bright enough to be noticed especially if your hands are a focal point aka like doing a lot of hand gestures when talking. Its not that KAAAPLOW bright red at all. I would say is more on the warmer, nuetral red you would wear with a sexy little red dress. HOT! I will defiantly be using this one a lot. Its just one of those red colored nail polishes that just makes you feel good! The name fits it perfectly. This has great covereagd and great pigment. It becomes warmer more the coats/layers.

Now lets get into some layering and diffrent color combos you could do with some of these polishs'

Pictured above: 2 Coats Deeper Dive as a base color then 1 coat Ants In My Pants and 1 coat Glistening Purple

Pictured above: 3 coats Ants In My Pants with 1 coats Glistening Purple over it

Pictured above: 2 coats Deeper Dive with 2 coat Glistening Purple.

Over all I am pretty happy and confident that I will use these polish on the regular. I do feel that I got my moneys' worth even with the red glitter polish is somewhat hard to work with. I do feel these can be used for sublte nail art to the In your FACE!! Nail designs.. If you have any questions or opinions please comment! Thankyou and have a happy day!
