Favorite Spring Nail Polishes

Springtime is here and it is time to get more spring spirited! One way to do this is to dazzle your nails in some amazing spring colors to make you feel more new and fresh and done with cold winter. I went through my entire nail polish collection and picked out just a few that I thought were spring appropriate. Although I myself often break the rules and wear winter and fall colors through out spring and summer because I love them so much. I still wear many spring and summer light and bright colors.

Wet n Wild Color Icon

I have been dying to tryout some Wet n Wild products so when I noticed that they were on sale I of course had to get a few things! Its about time that I finally try some of the Wet n Wild brand as I have been reading on many of yours and other bloggers blog about how great the colors were so I was really excited to tryout this brand myself! When I saw the products I thought I would pick some from their newer collection Color Icon. I got a couple of items that I must agree with those who have tried out Wet n Wild and loved the product.

Knock on Wood $2.99 General Stores, Drugstores

These eye shadows instantly became my new love! The eyelid color looks great with my skin tone and is a pretty spring color that makes me look and feel really pretty! It is also a dark marron with hints of pink undertones that make it easily worn for a day look. Secondly I love the crease color being a nice dark deep brown that paired with the maroon eyelid color looks stunning and really fits the name Knock on wood because it does remind me of dark forest/woods colors! The third amazing thing that did shock me even though I had already read about how amazingly pigmented the colors were was the pigmentation. The colors are truly really pigmented and it shocked me because the product was so inexpensive! 

Although, I really do like this product I will have to be honest and say that the eye shadows can be a little powdery but its not to bad but it was something that I noticed. One thing that I didn't like about the eye shadows was that all of the colors are shimmery or have flecks of sparkles in them. I personally like to mix matte eye shadows with shimmery ones. I like having a matte crease color over a shimmery one but even still the product is still amazing and I will be purchasing another trio!

I was really interested in trying out different color eyeliners other than black or brown. Since I was getting other Wet n Wild products I thought I would tryout a few of theirs because the products were so inexpensive that if I tried one out and didn't like it I wouldn't lose to much money.

First I thought i would get a nice deep purple/maroon eyeliner to go along with the Knock on Wood Trio. But this wasn't the right color to go with the trio but still really pretty

I also brought out the Wet n Wild Eyeliner in Green because I thought for spring and summer it would cool to do a simple eye with this pop of green on the lower lashline! Anyone else plan on doing something similar?

What are your favorite Wet n Wild Products?

Tips***
1. Exfoliate
Just like any other part of your body, dead skin cells build up on the skin and can cause the skin to look dry. Also if you work with your hands a lot you can build calluses on your hand. The first step to getting beautiful hands is to exfoliate the skin. To remove all of the dry skin to reveal the healthier skin underneath it. A good and inexpensive way to exfoliate your hands is to mix sugar, lemon juice and a cream together and rub it into your hands till the sugar dissolves. You can do this 2-3 times a week. You can also find hand scrubs at beauty stores.

2. Moisturize
Always moisturize your hands after washing them or if the appear to dry. Keeping your hands moisturized will keep them from appearing dry and will also keep them feeling soft to the touch. It would be a good idea to invest in a lotion that is made just for hands.

Curel Fast absorbing hand and cuticle cream $4-$9
This is the perfect hand lotion that helps both your hands and cuticle!

3. Washing
As you were told when you were younger washing your hands is essential to your healthy and cleanness of your hands. Although you should be careful to avoid soaps that are drying to the skin and take away your natural oils. Try to buy soaps that add moisture to your skin, the moisture your skin has the softer they will be!

4. Massage
Increase the circulation in your hands by giving them a quick massage every night. This will help them appear more healthy and have the right color tone.

5. Super Soft Hands
For really soft hands try applying a heavy cream or Vaseline to your hands and putting them in cotton gloves at night. This will help seal in the moisture which will give you amazingly soft hands.

6. When doing housework or doing the dishes wear gloves to protect your hands from harsh chemicals and over drying.

I hope these tips help you get beautiful hands!
