First try with Jamberry

I've heard all sorts of things about Jamberry nail wraps but finally decided to try them myself. My neighbor has been raving about how great they are and so far I have to agree!  They were quick and easy to put on (heat up, smooth out, and file tips).

A major plus is that when my kids kept inturupting I didn't have to worry about wet polish getting smudged and could still fully use my hands. I just went right back to doing my nails when I had another moment to do so.

Now for the test- will these last 10 to 14 days? Even glue on fake nails don't last that long for me so this will be interesting.  Between horse dirt and diaper changes I plan to keep my hands free from gloves and put these to the test.

What polish to wear?

Hello again. I recently bought a dress and can't figure out what polish (or combination) to wear with it. Please HELP! It's yellow with pink sequins and a flower pattern. I was thinking of something blingy, but I don't know of any pink and yellow sparkle polishes out there. Any ideas? Pictures?

Thanks ladies!

Claire's Mood polish Win from Sawan Part II

Overall these went on well, fairly opaque- two coats each. Nice color selection :)


Of all the ones I'm reviewing, this one stole the show. It's Happy/Earthy and it is fabulous! This doesn't just change shades, it changes from grass green to bright yellow- hot! 5 Blings!


I also love this blue/aqua combo called Peaceful/Confident. Decent color change and gorgeous color. 4 Blings.

Although I love the pink, this one didn't change hardly at all. It could be because my nails are too short to show a difference. Gotta love the name though: Fabulous/Funky. 3.5 Blings


This one was wild too! Grey to orangey taupe. Daring/Innocent has a good color change to it also. 4 Blings.

Are You Happy and You Know It?

Clap your hands for this taxi cab yellow! "Happy Go Lucky" by China Glaze has a smile written all over it. Very opaque- yes, an opaque yellow! This is two coats with a top coat. This is so bright you will definitely get noticed, and will look great with a tan this summer. The only thing not perfect about this is that you will need to use heavier coats to avoid a streaky appearance, but the top coat did even that out. Love it! 4.5 Blings.

Full Disclosure: The following product(s) was provided to Wizards Of Bling by the manufacturer or PR company for consideration.

New Rite Aid Displays

New Limited Edition Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's. Some of these look very similar to other Insta-Dri colors, however a couple are different- like the mango color for example.


We have never seen these before! Color Fever by petites- does anyone know about these? Are they any good?

WetNWild icon eye shadows. These are beautiful!

Prestige Cosmetics Limited Edition Eye Shadows. The colors aren't that original, but they would look great for Patty's Day.

All in all we are loving Rite Aid!

Lava Hot!

This is "Lava" by Hard Candy, and it is red hot! Flaming Red/Orange with yellow shimmer that is sure to catch attention. Love it, love it, love it! What more can I say? 5 Blings

Refunkatardated

If you like odd, you'll love this. I've got the Sally Hanson Insta-Dri "Mochachino" as a base, with NYX "Rainbow Sparkle" over the top. Aside from the fact that this is clearly a yellow glitter jelly and NYX has no idea how to name their glitters, I'm quite fond of this combo. It's one of those plain looking browns, until you inspect it to find a toxic yellow glow. Very interesting and I'd like to try this glitter over a black base- can we say Mr. Yuck sticker? 4 blings.

My Six Spring Franken's

These are the six pastels that I Frankened for Spring. I have been wanting some light pastels for a few years now and I never could find the right colors. I think some of these are dupes, I hope. I will swatch these over the next few days. This is my first real attempt to Franken so I hope they come out. When Wet & Wild went on sale at Rite Aid for $0.59 I thought this was a good time to give it a whirl.
These colors make me excited for Easter!
