Toucan Manicure!

Hi gals! Sorry I've been MIA for the last month or so. I've been so busy with summer vacations and events that I have not even looked at my blog. I do post manicures every couple days on my Instagram though (@thinkpink_kath), so be sure to check my page out! 

Anyways to get started with this post, I'm sure you all have seen Wet N Wild's new "Pop art Craze" collection. Its seriously  one of my best investments in awhile. If you haven't here's a picture of the full collection: 
I was  lucky enough to find the whole collection. Funny story, I was actually on vacation and had to go to the local Walgreens the night we got there. Walgreens was having a sale at the time, and all Wet N Wild "Wild Shine" polishes (Reg. .99) were on sale for .69 each. A total steal. So of course I had to buy the whole collection! That night when we got back to the hotel I used some of my new polishes right away and came up with this mani. 
I used "Stand the test of lime" & "The clock strikes orange" from the pop art craze collection & an Un-named polish that I got from Rue 21 to accent this manicure. 
Here's a close up of the polishes I used. 
I am seriously so impressed with Wet N Wild right now. Not only did the come up with this beautiful new collection, the polishes applied beautifully and they felt like gel polish when dry. Seriously, they had the smoothest and shiniest look I've seen in a polish that isn't gel. 
Here's my manicure after a full week. Still practically perfect! 


I advise everyone to get this set. It's beautiful and for sure wont break the bank. 

You can purchase these at Walgreens and I've also seen them at Kmart. They're now .99. 

Thanks for reading lovelies! Until next time!,

Assorted Manis!

Hello everyone! As I was looking through my photos I found three manis that I did not too long ago before I started blogging! So I wanted to share them with you! 

First we begin with a Dotticure. I entered these nails into a contest on Instagram (that was actually cancelled) and I could not help but fall in love with them! 
I used a dotting tool for accurate dots. The polishes I used for this manicure (from L-R) are Orly "Basket Case", Kleancolor "Holo Pink", NYC "TimesSquare Tangerine Creme", Kleancolor "Holo Orange", Kleancolor "TLC", and Kleancolor "Holo Green". Whew what a list!
Here's a close-up of my Dotticure. 

I loved this mani! 

Next up I have a swatch of Opi "Blue Moon Lagoon". It's a beautiful holographic polish. An oldie but a goodie! 
This polish is so beautiful! When I had it on I couldn't stop looking at my nails!

Lastly I have a flakie mani! One of my personal favorite combos ever! 
This is NYC "NYC Boat Basin" & Color Club "Snowflakes". This photo was shot in direct sunlight.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post. It's a little late, but better late then never! Also, they were just too pretty to not post! 

If you guys have any questions about any of these manicures don't hesitate to ask!

Current Polish Stash!

Hey guys! Today I have for you am updated picture of my polish stash! I don't have an exact count, but I do have over 200 polishes! Nearly 20 (or more?) of them are mini bottles that are in a drawer. 
Here's rack #1. As you can see I have it color coordinated instead of brand. 
Here's rack #2! As you can see #2 is brand coordinated. 

I wanted to try both organized by brand and color. I must say I do like both a lot but if I had to choose one style it would be by brand. 

I made both racks (with the help of my mother). 

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! If you have any questions feel free to ask!

P.S. If you're wondering why all of my photos have the watermark "@thinkpink_kath" it's because that's my Instagram name. :)

Funky Fingers "Jawbreaker"

Hello Everyone! Today I have for you a beautiful polish by Finger Paints. This polish looks exactly like an indie polish! 
See what I'm talking about?! Indie polish to a tee! As you can see there are bar glitters & hexes as well. It's simply beautiful! 
Here's a close up of "Jawbreaker". Stunning. 

Application was great. I didn't have to fish for glitter.
