I couldn't resist giving this post a regular "Spotted" title, but for me and some of the other Wet n Wild Beauty Ambassadors, this is much, much more than a regular ol' display!
I've been keeping a secret for months but it's now official and it's coming to a Walgreens near you (it may already be at your local Walgreens!). Are you ready? Check it out:
Wet n Wild Beauty Ambassador Favorites Display

Me!
Here's a closer pic of my mani, which I created using three of my favorite Wild Shine polishes (Tickled Pink, French White Creme and Black Creme) and Scotch tape:
As luck would have it, reader Brie of Simply Thrifty Nails actually spotted this display "in the wild" at her local Walgreens last week (she was actually the first person to tell me that this display was already out in the marketplace, so thanks again for that very exciting news, Brie!). Here are some pics:

I can't even begin to express my gratitude to Wet n Wild for creating this display and allowing us all the opportunity to be a part of it. As many of you know, I've been a hardcore, longtime fan of Wet n Wild fan since the late 1980s (I wore their red lipstick and red polish to my high school prom in 1989!). If someone were to tell me that, 23 years later, I'd be PART of a Wet n Wild display, I'd think they were cuckoo!
The best part for me is to be able to share this with my fellow Beauty Ambassadors whom I knew and loved since before we were Ambassadors for Wet n Wild . Each of these amazing women work so hard on their blogs and it's wonderful to see hard work pay off with a bit of recognition. I'm sending big ol' virtual hugs to all of you ladies right now!
Thanks so much for reading this post and I hope that when you spot this at your local Walgreens, you'll smile for a minute as you imagine me doing cartwheels through my house at the very thought of being on a Wet n Wild display!

A "spotted" post wouldn't be complete without this question so I've just gotta ask:
Have you spotted the new Wet n Wild Beauty Ambassador Favorites display at your local Walgreens yet? Thoughts?
Aw congrats G! That's awesome ;-) I'm going to hunt down this display so I can see you & Emily on it! ^.^
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Aly!! xo

ReplyDeleteSo, the WnW Ambassador program is still active? I thought you'd mention you haven't heard from them in awhile...
Yep, the program has been dormant for a few months, but we actually were asked to participate in this display back in the spring. I'm happy to say the program will be picking back up very soon, so we'll be able to cover the new releases like before. :)
DeleteThat's awesome! Your mani is fantabulous!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! Not only is it cool cuz you're on it, but I always love it when a company acknowledges that bloggers have such an important part of the beauty world.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! And I totally agree. :)
DeleteThat is awesome! You couldn't deserve it more. (& how weird when the digital becomes "real life," huh? I look forward to seeing the display!)
ReplyDeleteAaaw, thank you SO much! And you're so right--it's kind of surreal! :)
Deleteawesome to see a beauty company using blogger photos in the RIGHT way for a change from recent "scandals" .... congrats to you and the others!

DeleteThis is super awesome! Congratulations! I love that they featured your nail art, because I love seeing what you come up with for your weekend manicures. :)

ReplyDeleteLol!!! Sorry about that! :) I reallllly wanted to do nail art when the idea was presented to us. :)
DeleteI'd have liked to see your face too but I can understand if you wanted to remain private. Great mani, and CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so proud!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, honey! And i'm sorry about that but I really wanted to do some fun nail art since the theme was the $0.99 items. :)
DeleteI just saw it "in the wild" myself. The display I saw had almost no product in it though. Looks nice! congrats.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And yay!! So glad you spotted it! :)
DeleteWow, this is amazing! Congratulations!

DeleteYAY! You girls definitely deserve this, I love it! :) I cannot wait to squeal in excitement when I see the display with my own eyes... sounds silly, but I'm so proud of you all and that the blogging community is getting public love ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredibly sweet thing to say, and not silly at all!! If I were not in this display and I saw it at Walgreens, I would TOTALLY squeal seeing so many of my fave bloggers on an actual store display! To have a brand acknowledge beauty bloggers is a truly amazing thing, so I completely understand your excitement and I 100% share it! xoxo
DeleteIm so happy for you!!! And that mani is to die for!
ReplyDeleteAaaw, thank you SO much, honey!! xo
DeleteCongratulations! What an exciting experience.Can't wait to see the displays in person!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! And I completely agree! :)
DeleteYEAH!!!!!! Congrats! LOVE the nail design!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, honey!! :)
DeleteI am so happy for you and those adorable nails of yours! I tried my first wet n wild eyeshadow palette today because of your review so this is appropriate news.
ReplyDeleteI am THRILLED for you!
You deserve this recognition, you probably increased their profits by a significant margin!
Aaaw, thank you SO much for that!! :) xo
DeleteAnd I just have to know: how do you like the palette so far? :)
Congrats! I was in Walgreen's today (Richmond, Va) and didn't see it. Will keep watching and send you a pic when it shows up. I hit Walgreen's about once a week. Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, sweetie!! :)
DeleteThis has to be the best "spotted" yet!! Congrats G and to all the other ladies too! I'm so excited/happy/proud of all of you. All my favorites on one display, I can't wait to see this in my local drugstore!!
ReplyDeleteLol!!! Thank you SO much for that, Miranda!! :) xo
DeleteThis is so cool! Congratulations!! I'm so glad to see one of my favorite brands supporting you guys.
ReplyDeleteI love your nail art they featured. Can't wait to see the display in person!
Thank you SO much, mooosley!!! *hugs*
DeleteSo cool! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you, honey!!
DeleteCongrats G!!! ( and all the other ladies:)) You've poured your heart and soul into this blog and your love of beauty products, you really deserve this. Yes, I will giggle and imagine you doing cartwheels lol. Oh yeah, I wore WnW black polish and and the makeup from their collection in 92' to my ring dance. Oh boy. Lets hide that picture:)
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredibly sweet comment!! Thank you SO much, honey!! :)
DeleteAnd omg, how awesome that you wore that back in '92! I was probably wearing the same black polish on the same day as you! Lolol!! ;)
WOW!! How cool is that! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI have totally gotten into nails because of you! I started following you for mu but have since had my nails grow (hooray good fats!) and now always have them painted. I have over 40 polishes now. However, that 99 cent Wild Shine is my favorite. It doesn't smell bad (my first concern) and wears longer than anything else I've tried. That is so cool you are representing it! Congrats to you and the other bloggers, some of whom I also follow on YouTube. This is very exciting!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for sharing that with me! I'm thrilled that I could help you unlock your ”inner nail diva”. Yay!!! :) *hugs* xo
DeleteYay! You rock, G!!! Congratulations on a much deserved achievement---i can't wait to see the display. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so, so much, Isis!! *hugs* xo
DeleteYay yay yay CONGRATULATIONS, G!!!!!! And congrats to all your fellow bloggers there, yay! You all definitely deserve the recognition. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, and for sharing your love for all things makeup - you RAWK!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU, Charmaine! Seriously, that was an absolutely lovely thing to say and SO appreciated! *big hugs* xo
DeleteThis is awesome! Glad to see a company working with bloggers to showcase their products instead of stealing the pics and removing the watermarks to use without permission. Good for WnW for doing this!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cathy!! And I 100% agree! xo :)
DeleteAll my faves on one display!!! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteAaaw, thank you so much for that!! :) xo
DeleteCongrats to you! I haven't seen the display in my area yet, but I will be watching for it. I love the color blocked nail design you chose. I just started using Wet n Wild cosmetics the past 3 weeks and I purchased them based on your reviews here on this very blog. Before trying them out, I had only used the nail polishes for stamping and as far as the makeup I thought it was a "cheap" dollar store brand and had a very poor impression of them overall, and was comparing them in my mind to Flame Glo and other bargain cosmetics. I am a bit of a make up snob and was using Estee Lauder and Urban Decay products. So...based on your wonderful blogs about it, I thought what the heck it's only a couple of dollars for an eye trio and I'll try it. Well, I was so impressed that I went out and bought all the other palettes and they look as good on me and seem to last as long as my expensive department store makeup does. Anyway, thanks to you I am now a Wet N Wild cosmetics lover! I think that's really wonderful that they chose you for the display! Congrats again. I soo love your blog!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Thank you so very much for sharing that with me! I'm absolutely thrilled that I could help introduce you to the wonderful world of WnW, and i'm even MORE thrilled that you've been happy with the results!! You just made my day! *hugs* xo :)
DeleteI'm so happy for you but I wish your pic was up there. you have such.pretty eyes.
ReplyDeleteAaaaw, thank you so much for the very sweet compliment!! I'm sorry about that, but I reeeeeally wanted to do nail art for this. :)
DeleteI am so proud of you!! That's is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much, Andrea!!! xoxo
Deleteso exciting! aaah can't wait! i'll definitely be getting some of those lipsticks or something, just for you girls :) so proud! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is SO sweet of you to say!!! Thank you, honey!! xoxo
DeleteYou know I saw that display at drugstore while on my unsuccessful hunt for the Wet n Wild Where's the Party collection...Didn't pay close attention to it, and now I wished I had! I'm hooked on yours and clumpsofmascara's blogs. You guys have been awesome in terms of timely info for my budget. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAaaaw, thank you! I looooove Brittany too! :D
DeleteHooray! Yet another reason to love Wet 'n Wild. They appreciate all you bloggers who work so hard for us and for them.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more with you, T-Rex! *hugs* xo
DeleteVery cool! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Heidi!!!
DeleteCongratulations! Not just because you are a customer and give WnW great publicity, but because you produce thoughtful, detailed reviews to the world of makeup lovers, giving them ideas and options they probably would never be aware of. Makeup makes us happy, it makes us feel pretty and good about ourselves. Colors brighten our world. I read you every day! Keep up the good work, and thanks for all you do!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful comment! Thank you so, so, so much for that. You absolutely made my day. *hugs* xoxo
DeleteThat is fantastic! Congratulations! I haven't seen the displays yet, but I can't wait to see them. I am such a huge fan of your blog and I appreciate you taking the time to keep all of us informed on so many things in the beauty world.
ReplyDeleteHoney, thank you SO much. I'm a huge fan of your blog too!! *big hugs* xoxo
DeleteCongrats!! Haven't seen the display yet but will sure look for it. :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sue!! xoxo
DeleteHow in the heck did you get FWC to apply so smooth? I love this white because it's the least streaky I own but it won't self level. I actually just put this on not even 20 minutes ago.
ReplyDeleteCongrats though!
How strange! I have literally never had a problem with that polish not self-leveling! I laid down three coats of FWC before I taped off and applied the other two colors (I did three coats only because I knew this pic was going to be high res and I wanted it to be absolutely perfect). I didn't have an issue at all with leveling...I would have scrapped this design and gone with another one if I had. sorry you're having issues! :( Maybe try adding a few drops of polish thinner?
DeleteCongratulations! I love wet 'n wild even more now!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! :)
DeleteWow G!Congrats! My favorite part of this is the love that Wet 'n' Wild is giving back to the community that gives them such a nice boost on a daily basis.
ReplyDelete-Emmi
Thank you so much, Emmi! That's my favorite part too. :)

DeleteHow awesome! :) Congratulations! It's so nice to see that such great people are getting recognition! I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteYou are very sweet to say that! Thank you, honey!! :)
DeleteHow exciting! I can't wait to find this display so I can get the same goodies as you and Emily. You were my first blog addiction and blog-love, and I love Emily's videos.
ReplyDeleteI love the manicure!
If I see the disply, I'll tweet ya.
Thank you, JoJo!! I would love that!! :)
DeleteCongrats, G! I'm trying to restrain myself from running to all the local drugstores so I can point at you and Kelly and say "I know them!" lol

ReplyDeleteI have been trying to contact Wet N Wild about being in their ambassadors program since I review some of the products I pick up and try out. I will try and find this display since I saw your blog name on the list on their site. :3
ReplyDeleteThe Wet n Wild Ambassadors display is NOW in my local Walgreen's! I saw it today. Congrats again! I feel like I know a real celebrity now. Thanks for your wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteWe have the display at Walgreens in Hermitage, Tennessee.
ReplyDeleteHey G! Do you have a tutorial for that nail design you have posted with the Wild shine polishes?
ReplyDeleteI forgot to let you know that I saw this in my local Walgreen's the other day (Inland Empire, CA)!
