For my first swatch post, I decided to showcase some new pretties from my favorite drugstore line,
Wet 'n Wild. I had heard about this new television-themed line last fall, and have been waiting
impatiently ever since!
I picked up three from this collection at my local Walgreens yesterday. They were $1.99 apiece,
which is a steal!
First we have Gray's Anatomy, which as far as I can tell is a dupe for Zoya's Ki, minus the $7
price tag!
This is three coats on my pinkie nail. How gorgeous is that! (No flash with indoor lighting.) This
is a very sheer polish. One coat was kind of bleh, (But it would work well for layering), and two
coats was pretty but it didn't jump out at me. Three was the charm, at least for me.
Here's the next one, called Party of Five Glitters:
This was 2 thin coats. As always, I had to manipulate the glitter a bit to make it pleasing to
the eye. (And I beg of you, please forgive my horrible nails! I'm still trying to get rid of the
staining.)
And last but not least, here is 9.0.2.1.Orange:
Excuse me while I pass out... ;) I used two coats for my picture. As you can see, there is still VNL,
but I'm sure that an extra coat would cure that. I want to try this layered over an orange or yellow
creme.
I thought that Gray's Anatomy would be my favorite. But 9.0.2.1.Orange takes the prize! It looks
a bit odd on my pale January skin, but I'm envisioning it on my tanned toes this summer, and let
me tell you, it's going to look good!
There are several others in this collection that I'll be purchasing, not to mention the new Wild
Shines, the new Megalasts, the new eyeshadow trios, and the 8 pan eyeshadow palettes, oh my!
I remember when I got a frosty pink lipgloss from WnW that I loved to death. Then, I drifted
away and started buying polishes and eyeshadows with a bigger price tag. Now, I'm back, and
I'm in love with this brand! Pricier doesn't always mean better, and for a recent high school
grad that can't find a steady job, WnW is a godsend!
