Pixel: Oh My!

Hey y'all! Today I'm going to show y'all Pixel: Oh My! I have a few things to say about this polish, but for now just take a look at the pictures.

I only own two bottles of Pixel polish. The first one I got was a coral/pink and it was only 99 cents. I liked it okay. I have so many corals/pinks in my collection, so it didn't really stand out too much to me. But I thought the formula was pretty good. And I really like this shade that I'm showing y'all today. It was last fall when I bought it, and I'm always looking for a good red. I also really liked the glitter in this one. But let me tell y'all. These are NOT 99 cents. They are $2.49 a bottle. Y'all can see how tiny the bottle is, right?! What in the WORLD made them think that $2.49 was a good price??? Crazy. So now I don't usually pay too much attention to these. Every once in a while I'll check them out at Ulta. But I haven't seen one that I just have to have. So anyway! I did three coats of this one. It's kind of sheer, but it builds pretty nicely. Like I said before, I like the glitter in it. It really comes alive in the sunlight. And it is a good Razorback Red! ;)

What do y'all think of Oh My? Do y'all own any Pixel polishes? If so, which ones? Would you consider buying these polishes even if they're $2.49?

Thank y'all for reading! :)

Pixel: Spicy Little Thang & A Semi-Successful Water Marble!

Sorry it took me so long to swatch this Pixel polish! Here's Spicy Little Thang.

Don't y'all just love that name? I think it's cute. Let me start by saying that I'm glad I only paid $1.99 for this polish. That's about all it's worth. Although I really love the color and it was a two coater! But goodness. I first had problems when I opened the bottle and there was a bristle significantly longer than the others hanging from the brush. That was easily fixed because I just pulled it and the whole thing came out. At least I was able to get rid of that. But the brush did give me problems. All the bristles were a little different in length, and that made it hard to get an even amount of polish near my cuticles. Needless to say, I had a hard time applying it. But I love that bright pink/coral and I can see myself wearing this since I'm all about coral in the summer. The bottle's tiny but kinda cute, and the name is cute, too. So there are some good things about this polish. :)

And now for my semi-successful water marble! I so admire people who can water marble and have it actually turn out looking flawless. I really do. And I wish I was as good. Yesterday I decided to try water marbling. I've tried once before but it was just a hot mess. I quit after that. And that was about a year ago. So last night I tried again. Unsuccessful. But I didn't wanna quit altogether. So I tried again today and finally got the hang of it! I was/am so excited! My pinky turned out the best so that's what I'm going to show y'all.
I used a white base, Wet n Wild French White Creme, the pink was Sonia Kashuk Tutti Frutti and the blue was Sonia Kashuk Ocean Breeze. The Sonia Kashuk polishes work really well together, and I've always thought that. Probably because I bought them at the same time. But anyway, I just think this turned out awesome! I was so happy. I showed everyone. :)

What do y'all think of the Pixel polish? Has anyone heard of that brand? Does anyone else have Pixel polishes? What do you think of my water marble? Let me know!

Thanks for reading. :)
