Forget Me Not Friday - WET N WILD: Mega Rocks Rising Star & Bundle Monster BM-317

Pin It

Wet n Wild Mega Rocks LE Rising Star

It's Friday and once again I bring youuuuuuu: FORGET ME NOT FRIDAY! This was a limited edition Wet n Wild Mega Rocks polish I picked up last end of summer/fall/sometime in 2014 (Just looked it up - Halloween 2014). You know, now that I moved... I really miss being around 3 Walgreens :[ Oh, well! Here's this weeks polishhhhhhhh!


Please forgive the condition of my skin. It had a freakout moment the other day for some reason. Then I wasn't paying attention and clipped a chunk out of my skin. #life Cross your fingers my insurance approves me getting a lightbox for at home phototherapy treatments!

Wet n Wild Mega Rocks LE Rising Star

Wet n Wild Mega Rocks LE Rising Star

Wet n Wild Mega Rocks LE Rising Star

Rising star is a rose gold appearing polish, a clear based filled with gold and iridescent microflakie shimmer and light pink small and tiny hex. Ok, so it's not a total "FMNF" because I did swatch it over a base color once :X It's a great way to add a little shimmer on top of another color and it looked really nice. Although it gives me the lobster hands, it really enjoy it being built up on its own. It kind of reminds me of Julep Love, but with pink glitter.

I did 3 coats of Rising Star on bare nails. I really like how well this looks without a base coat and the fact that you don't need like 10 coats to make it opaque haha. It had a nice smooth application despite everything that is packed into it. I had no issues with dry time.

Bundle Monster plate BM-317 stamping

Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow and I happened to find my stamper finally, I decided to stamp over the pretty glitter! I used images from BM-317 along with Lakur Weekend Cheers (pink) and China Glaze Hey Sailor (red). I guess we can add this to Forget Me Not Friday because I've never used this plate LOL!

JULEP: Love

Julep Love

Guyyysssss! I'm a horrible blogger and didn't plan a post for today haha. I'm going to be in some fashion show because a model dropped out, and my friend who is doing makeup asked if I could do it. So I agreed, not knowing what I'm getting myself into lmfao! I figured the designer wouldn't want bright green nails... And there were no polish specifications... Soooo I decided to try out Julep Love! So here's a quick #NOTD.

Julep Love

Julep Love

Julep Love

Love came as a freebie in the February boxes. I didn't think I'd like it from the images online, but I actually love Love! :P Love is a "gold, pearl and fuchsia micro glitter". It's so shiny and almost pearly chrome look! I love the way this polish catches and reflects light. I've honestly been obsessed with looking at my nails since I put this on lmao.

I did 2 coats of love, plus top coat in these pictures. The application was smooth, a little thick for my tastes but not problematic. No issues with dry time, it dried pretty quickly.

POLISH INFORMATION

Brand: Julep
Website | Facebook | Twitter  | Instagram | YouTube
Price: $14 / $11.20 for Mavens

Where to Find: Website, Sephora

I don't think this is available for sale? I can't find it on their site. I'm sure they'll pop up in blog sales though, Juleps seem to be prevalent in blog sales lol. EDIT: Alison F. reminded me that Sinful Colors Gilded is a close dupe to Love!

 

Take the Style Quiz to get started and get your Welcome Box for free (use code FREEBOX and pay $3.99 shipping). Around the 20th of each month you will receive an email letting you know the Maven window is open and you can preview, change and upgrade the coming month's Maven box.

So, what is in a Julep Maven Welcome Box? Monthly Maven boxes are often themed and always contain at least $40 of Julep products for the monthly subscription fee of $19.99.

If you're not a Maven, you can always try out your first box for free. Some people like Julep - some people don't. I don't like their products but I (personally) always like their polishes. It's always a fun thing to receive every month, too! You can always cancel by calling them and letting them know. You can skip months that don't seem like your style.

Have a great afternoon,

Also, please bear with me for the next month or so. I'm trying to adjust to having a new environment to take swatch pictures in... so they might look different from post to post until I get it perfect like at my last apartment! <3 In addition, the new iOS7 camera update has me lacking all sorts of strategies and techniques that I'm used to *sigh*
