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.

Refreshed Manicure...with Glitter!

Sometimes when I don't have the time to redo my whole manicure, I look for ways to refresh what I already have on. Helps to save time, and also give you a new look without having to start from scratch.

So, this morning I did a new coat of my most recent polish, Cheers from Revlon.


This coat went over my base, 2 coats from a few days ago and my top coat. Once this was dry, I went on a hunt as to what I wanted to do to make it fresh.

I bought a bottle of Wet and Wild called Hallucinate...isn't she pretty!!


I put one coat of Hallucinate over my existing manicure, and now I have this:


It's very subtle. This is just one coat and no top coat yet.

Here is a second coat.


I think 1 coat is fine, but 2 gives it a little more sparkle and dimension.



So, I will just throw my top coat on, and I am good for a few more days!


I love this topcoat. It does dry really fast (faster than my Orly top coat) and it does give a nice shine. Here is a picture of the finished product. Pretty awesome and shiny and sparkly!!
