It's not my favorite cool blue, but it's pretty and not bad for $2.99 or however much I paid for it!

Summer Blues, Day Four: Wet N Wild Blue Wants to be a Millionaire
Stupid name aside, this is a lovely denim blue polish with a scattered holo. It was part of a special collection a while back (2009, maybe?) but is now part of Wet N Wild's core line. It's pretty sheer--I used three coats for my swatches and should have used four. It also dries gritty and a little dull, so topcoat is needed for a full mani.

Swatches & comparison: Nubar Black Polka Dot v. Wet n Wild Tangled in my Web
Happy Black Friday! I hope you're either done with your shopping and safely home, or like me and not leaving the house today. In honor of Black Friday, I have two black glitter polishes to show you.
Tangled in my Web is from the elusive and limited edition On the Prowl collection from Wet n Wild, so it was cheaper and is now hard to find. Black Polka Dot is not anywhere I can find on the Nubar website, but is still available on ebay.
I used Wednesday's Marshmallow manicure as a backdrop for the swatches of these two polishes, and while I like the idea of black & white nails, I'm thinking this wasn't the best way to go about it. My fingernails look sort of diseased. Eek! Anyway, swatches--pinky is one coat of Wet n Wild Tangled in my Web, ring is one coat of Nubar Black Polka Dot, middle is two coats of Tangled in my Web and index is two coats of Black Polka Dot. You can see that while they're both black glitter in a clear base, the Nubar has black microglitter in addition to the larger round glitter. If you missed out on Tangled in my Web, Black Polka Dot might fill the void.

Tell-a-Friend Ice Baby Giveaway!
Giveaway closed--Congratulations to MissMidnightBlue!

I think by now everyone knows about the Ice Baby polish collection--it's from Wet n Wild, it's exclusive to Walgreens and it's full of pretty, pretty glitters! I found the display at my local Walgreens and bought one of each so I could have a giveaway! I will not be swatching these, because I only bought one full set for the giveaway, but Gianna at Nouveau Cheap did some lovely swatches, as did Erika at the Ice Queen's Nail Parlor, and Scrangie compared three of these to Nails Inc polishes and I will take a photo of all eight tomorrow in the sunshine.
The rules are simple:
1. Be a follower, get one entry.
2. Refer another follower, get an additional entry for each referral.
3. Giveaway will run from right now to midnight, November 30th.
4. US residents only this time, I'm just too broke for international postage. :(
Please leave a comment with the name under which you follow me, and check back here on December 1st, when I will post the winner.
