Wet 'n' Wild Kaleidoscope

In order to save time, and my sanity, and because everyone voted for a different polish, I will swatch all the colors that were voted for... So, first up (and because school is tomorrow), I chose Wet 'n' Wild Kaleidoscope, which is a clear polish with holo glitter. It looks subtle enough for school, and it really shows off how long my nails have gotten...



Here's what it looks like in the bottle... But my camera was so overwhelmed by the glitter that it completely forgot about the actual writing on the bottle... :)



Here's what it looks like on... Even though I got good coverage, that's only because I had to use a zillion coats (well, not really, but close enough)...

NUMBER OF COATS: 5 (yep, that's FIVE COATS!)
FINISH: holo glitter
APPLICATION: 3
COLOR: good!
WEARABLE-NESS: pretty good, and it looks subtle enough for work/school... :)
HILTND: absolutely flawless, and still sparkling! :)

NEXT POLISH: unnamed purple :)

Wet 'n' Wild Desert Plum

Here's another old polish, but this time it's a Wet 'n' Wild one. This is a very pretty mauve creme, but the pictures I got were NOT color accurate... Check them out anyways... :)


This is actually one of my favorite colors so far, most likely because of how it can easily be worn to work without looking too over the top...



This picture was taken with two coats of polish, but one would have been fine. My nails got smudged so I had to add another coat. Without a top coat, this polish does NOT wear very well... But the color is definitely worth it... :)

POLISH RATING: 4.75/5

Wet 'n' Wild Shiver

Here I am! And this time, I'm doin' something different... :) Today's polish is Shiver by Wet 'n' Wild, which is your basic drug store polish. This one is a blue-ish silver. It looks almost like a light blue foil on my hand.





I'm not quite sure about the age of this polish, but one thing for for sure, it's THICK! It took me two coats to try and get a perfect manicure, but not because of opacity, but because of how unevenly this polish applied. Even though I like this color, there are a lot of similar colors that apply much better than this one. It did, however, wear well, once given enough drying time. This picture here is after I'd worn it for a day with no top coat. All the bald spots were there when I originally painted my nails.



It is a nice color... Maybe I'll give it a few days to determine whether or not I really like it. But for now, that's it for this polish!

Wet 'n' Wild Red Red

I'm back! And this time with a classic red. This is another old one that I found in my cabinet, but it's such a classic I just had to try it. But first, here's what I put on my nails:



Yep, it's my usual China Glaze strengthening base coat and my cheap Sally's Beauty Supply top coat. And the actual color is just as cliche! Here's what it looked like on:




I apologize for the horrible state of my nails, but here's the basic color. In the bottle, it looked more like a creme, but it applied very similar to a jelly. I only needed one coat, and it dried relatively quickly. It's definitely not an original, but it's a classic!


Check back tomorrow for another awesome polish!
