Wet n Wild Fast Dry Swatches

These were part of the great deal I got at Walgreens for the buy 2 get 1 free sale. I love quick drying nail polish. I liked these, but was not too impressed with the formula. Each of these swatches is 3 coats, and as you can see, they are still very sheer. You might need some underwear on these to make them more solid.

First up is Gray's Anatomy. This is a grayish purple color with a chrome like finish. Very shiny, but as you can see pretty sheer with 3 coats.

This is Teal of Fortune. It is more on the blue end than the teal end to me, but the shade is pretty cool. It has some sparkle to it, but as you can see...still pretty sheer.

Fuchsiarama...I had such high hopes for you. I could tell it was thin as soon as I opened the bottle. It looked jelly like going on, but it is a nice color. But, as you can see this is the worst of the 3 swatches. My nail line (and the remnants of my previous mani under my nail) is pretty visible.

All in all, I wasn't too impressed with the formulas. I liked the fun names, and the colors have some promise. I would recommend wearing another color underneath them and see if you can get rid of the sheerness of the formula.

Wet n Wild Megalast Swatches

I scored some WnW polish at Walgreens when they were doing a buy 2 get 1 free. The polish was $1.99 a bottle so it was a great deal and I was able to add to my growing collection.

This polish was awesome. The one drawback is that they have a new and improved brush that is bigger than a normal brush. It takes a little talent to get it to work. But once you do, it works awesome. Covers very well. This polish went on smooth and leveled out on its own. Each swatch here is 2 coats.

First up is Through the Grapevine. This is a nice pinky purple shade. Real shiny even without a topcoat.

Then, we have Bite the Bullet. This reminds me of a grayish purple. Very smooth to apply and looks great.

Swatches...I'm Feeling Blue

I really am feeling blue. Have had a few trying days at work, and really just am feeling down. Of course I had some retail therapy and bought a few new colors for my collection.

I have 2 drugstores, Walgreens and CVS, very close to where I live and work, so this is where I get most of my stash. I ended up with 3 bottles of blue recently. So, I thought with my mood, blue polish would be appropriate.

This first one is Milani Beach Front. It does remind me of the beach. It is a light blue, and it has a light sparkle in it. Not sure if it is silver, gold or somewhere in the middle. It does look like sand. It went on very well. This is 1 thick coat, so I would say 2 normal coats would do it. Smooth application.

The next color is Revlon Blue Slate. This is a creme. I really liked the gray undertones it had in the bottle. This one is also 1 thick coat. Covered pretty well. The brush was a little funky shaped. It looked like it wasn't trimmed straight, but no real impact on application.

This final color is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear The Real Teal. Kick ass color. Real bright teal. I was drawn to it like a moth to a light. Formula is good. This is 2 coats as it is not thick and not thin, but just right. It also has a tiny little sparkle that is just awesome.

So, now I don't feel so blue :)

Nail Polish Deals This Week 7/22

I am always on the lookout for deals on polish, and there are a couple of different ones going on. Depending on where you are located, hopefully one of these is in your area.

CVS has a great deal on Revlon Nail Polish. They are $4.99 a bottle and you can get a $3.00 Extra Care Buck on each of them...up to 6 bottles. So, in reality, they are $1.99 each after the savings.

CVS also has a deal on Sally Hansen. Spend $10.00 on Sally Hansen products, and get a $3.00 Extra Care Buck back. Great deal!

Lastly, L'Oreal has a buy $15.00 and get a $5.00 Extra Care Buck back...nail polish is included!!

Walgreens has Sinfulcolors nail polish on sale for 99 cents. I haven't tried this one before, but for the price, it might be a great deal.

I am certainly hitting the Walgreens deal and the Revlon deal at CVS. Not like I NEED more polish, but it can't hurt to get more :)
