Twinsie Tuesday - Anti-Valentine's Day

Hi everyone!  Today's Twinsie Tuesday post is all about Anti-Valentine's Day.  The first thing that popped in my head to do is a gradient from red to black.  My gradient was a bit of a fail.  This look didn't quite come out like I imagined, but it's growing on me.

For this look I used:
-OPI Big Apple Red (one of my favorite reds)
-Wet n Wild Black Creme
-Nicole by OPI Pitch Black Shimmer (this one is a black glitter and hard to find, sorry!)

Check out the other Twinsies' interpretations!

Wet n Wild A Day in Venice

A Day in Venice is a limited edition polish from Wet n Wild's All Access Beauty Collection for Summer 2014.  It's a pretty yellow cream with a bit of "squishiness."  Crelly if you will.

Since it's a crelly, it showed a bit of vnl (visible nail line) even at 3 coats.  Despite this, the application was pretty decent.  I did have a hard time with the brush.  I normally don't have a problem with wide brushes, but the bristles on this one was just all over the place and I ended up having to do more clean up than normal.

This is 4 coats.

Gradient Manicure

It's been a while since I've done a gradient manicure so today's mani is a gradient!  I used Wet n Wild On a Trip and Hard Candy Frenzy.

Jelly Sandwich

Today I decided to try a jelly sandwich mani.  I first saw it on Goose's Glitter and it was absolutely gorgeous.

For this I used Essie Marshmallow and Wet n Wild Correction Tape.  My friend who saw it said my nails look like sugar cookies lol

This is 3 thin coats Marshmallow, followed by 1 coat Correction Tape, and another layer of Marshmallow.

Wet n Wild Disturbia

I bought this polish over a year ago, and I'm not sure if it's discontinued or not.

Disturbia is a vampy red based purple with a subtle shimmer that comes out more in direct sunlight.  The formula on this was nice, but the brush was awkwardly shaped.  It was thick, wide, and lopsided.  This bottle is on the smaller side and I always have a harder time with small bottles, so I usually avoid minis at all costs.

This is 2 coats.

Santee Opal Speckle

Today I have on Santee Opal Speckle layered over Wet n Wild Black.  Wet n Wild Black is probably one of the best black polished out there.  It's opaque in ONE coat.  I love it when a polish goes on in one even buttery coat, it just rocks my world.

Santee Opal Speckle is a sheer and barely noticeable when worn alone, but layered over something, it's gorgeous.  It only cost me 1 dollar at the dollar store.  However it was a pain in the ass trying to get a decent picture of it.  It's a glitter that flashes blue, and sea green and none of these picture have done it justice.  I took a ton, to over compensate lol.  Please click on pictures to see the glitter in more detail.

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone has been having loads of fun this weekend.  I've done enough partying this weekend so I'll be staying in studying and maybe watch a few scary movies with my roomies.

So of course, I had to have Halloween themed nails to help me celebrate.  Last year I wore China Glaze's Spellbound, but this year I busted out the "Crack Polish."  I bought this a year and a half ago and have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to wear it.  This is Crack polish in black over Wet n Wild Sunny Side Up.
