I stopped into CVS last week to see if there was any deals on beauty products. They have a ton of sales going on, 50-75% off certain brands and a bunch of deals where you spend $10-$15 bucks on a certain brand and get CVS reward bucks toward your next purchase.
I picked up a few Wet and Wild items for $.69. I couldn't pass up the deal! I haven't had too many bad experiences with Wet and Wild products, but they aren't always the greatest quality.
I got two nail polishes in black (434A) and a pink glitter (345G). I needed the black so I can do some panda nail art that I've been waiting to try out :D
I also got a purple eye liner pencil. I haven't used eyeliner pencils in awhile, so it'll be weird to use one again. Hopefully I don't poke my eye out!
Lastly, I got Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Nail Strengthener to help harden my nails. They are pretty flimsy and I've had two break on me this week. I was a sad panda :/ But hopefully this stuff works, so I don't have to worry about having weak nails anymore.
Have you tried any of these products before? How do you feel about Wet and Wild? What has your experience been with them?
--UPDATE--
So I've gotten a chance to use the lipsticks and I love them! My current favorite is the hot pink-ish one pictured on the left. I need to go home and write down the number/color of these two. I also really liked the purple eye liner, it just dulls pretty quickly.
I haven't gotten to try the nail polishes yet. I used the Sally Hansen Hard as nails and they helped for a little. My nails kept breaking at work though, because I have to wash my hands or sanitize them often so my nails are pretty vulnerable. Hopefully when they grow back they will be stronger!
What other types of nail hardeners would you guys recommend?
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Nail Dilemma! What should I do?
Hey there!
Here are my nails now:
Recently, I've been trying to grow out my nails. This used to be extremely hard for me, because I bit my nails all the time. During college I was able to stop when I wasn't stressed out (during summer, mostly). Graduate school led me to start biting my nails again and I haven't been able to keep them long enough to look okay painted. I've made so much progress and my nails actually seem somewhat strong. Although I have bent them back on accident at work (ouch!).
So, back to my dilemma. I really want to learn guitar and my boyfriend finally started teaching me how. I realized that I can't have the nails on my left hand long, because my finger can't properly hold down the string as close as it needs to against the fret. This was so frustrating! Especially because I found a super easy tutorial on panda nail art on WikiHow.

Would it look really stupid if my nails were slightly longer on my right hand? I just plan on doing the panda art on my thumb nail of my left hand (since I don't need to use that one) and painting the rest of the nails on that hand black and white. Maybe trying the ombre look, who knows!
Let me know what you guys think! Thanks for the help in advance!
