Wet n Wild's I Red a Good Book Swatch

Hello everyone!

I'm back now! If you didn't read in the last post, I was gone because I needed to give my nails a break. My nails are still a little yellow, but I'll deal with it for now.

Also, I made myself a lightbox! When I was taking my photos before, I had to either go into my little brother's room (ugh!) or the bathroom. Now I can just do them in my room and at any time. It was pretty simple to do actually and only cost me around $5. The quality of my photos improved immensely, so I'm excited to show you these photos and more to come.

Today's swatch is Wet n Wild's I Red A Good Book. I bought this polish at Rite Aid for $1.99 and it is also part of the Megalast Collection.

I Red a Good Book is a classic red creme. This is two coats with a top coat. You could get away with one thick coat of this polish, but I decided to do two coats just to be safe.

The formula was great to work with. I didn't have any problems with the application too. I've mentioned in my previous reviews of the Megalast polishes that the wide brush makes it very easy to apply. The only gripe that I had is that the brush was kind of messed up. A corner of it was missing, but it's nothing too serious.

Overall, if you're looking for a classy red, I think this is the polish to go to. This is also a good fall color as well. I think I'll be wearing this polish a lot in the future. It's starting to become one of my favorites already!

What do you think of I Red a Good Book? What's your favorite red polish?

Thanks for reading!

31DC2013 Day 1: Red Nails

Hey everyone!

So, I decided that I'm going to attempt the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge. I first saw this from Chalkboard Nails, so I put the link to it here.

I've seen these challenges on Instagram a lot, but I was kind of intimidated by them for some strange reason. I've never really done any of these kinds of challenges, but I'm going to give it a shot. I don't know if I can do every day, but I will do my best.

Day 1 is red nails and I decided to do something really simple: french tips. I recently bought some french tip guides from Rite Aid that cost around $1.96 that I used for this mani. They worked wonderfully, so if anyone wants me to post about them let me know!

For this mani, I used Orly's Star Spangled (the label came off, but I do believe that this is Star Spangled) for the tips. Star Spangled is a red jelly with bright red micro-glitter. This is actually one of my untrieds that I bought a while ago. I was going to use SC's Energetic Red, but I've been using it too much.

It was really simple to do and it didn't take long at all. It took about 15 minutes to get done.

Tomorrow is orange nails, so hopefully I can get something in. I will complete this challenge!

Anyone else doing the 31 Day Challenge?

Until next time!
