Wet ‘N Wild has dominated the Hidden Gems feature two weeks in a row and with good reason.  I cruise my local drugstores looking for their limited edition displays, which seem to dwindle fast!  The Rock Solid nail polish line delivers high-shimmer shine, with outstanding wear.  The color above, Golden Amber (my favorite), was photographed with no top coat.  The metallic color grips nails with diamond strength and dries incredibly fast.  This line features special edition colors regularly, so be on the look-out!

Wet ‘N Wild Rock Solid Nail Laquer can be found for $3 or less at most locations.

I’m not one to ask for much, but Pearls by Carol’s Daughter had me begging the Mr. Masala endlessly from the first whiff.  This is the ONLY item I requested for Christmas, despite being told by him I could only ask for non-beauty related gifts (Are you kidding…this is what I DO, this is who I AM!). 

Pearls by Carol’s Daughter is one of the best new releases this year and its classy scent will compliment ladies of all ages.  With top notes of peach, lemon verbana and apricots, this perfume also surrounds the senses with jasmine, vanilla and caramel.  Carol’s Daughter has really outdone themselves with this timeless, exquisite fragrance. 

Pearls by Carol’s Daughter can be purchased for $45, with free shipping on the Carol’s Daughter website.
