Meet and Greet: Wet n' Wild Wet Cement and Friends

This is Wet n' Wild Megalast Salon Nail Color in Wet Cement. The formula was great and coverage is awesome. This is worth the $1 I paid for and then some.

Wet Cement Swatch

Wet n' Wild Megalast Salon Nail color in: 201C Wet Cement

In today's post, I am doing a little comparison using the Wet n' Wild Wet Cement. This color has been very popular during the last couple of years. and it is definitely a dupe for the popular "Metro Chic" from Sephora by OPI line.

There is absolutely no difference between the three shades on my nails with my naked eye. The only difference to me is the formula and the brushes. Rimmel and Wet n' Wild has similar wide brushes that I love. The SOPI has the skinniest brush ever, and this makes application difficult for me. If you look closely in my swatches, you can see there are some bold spots only on the Metro Chic finger. The formula was very similar. They dried pretty much at the same time. As for Price. the Wet n' Wild Retails for $1.99, Rimmel for  $3.99 and Sephora by OPI for $9.50. I'm not sure if Sephora or Rimmel still sell these colors, but you can get Wet n' Wild polish for $1 at walgreens this month!

Meet: Sally Hansen 230 Sweetie Pie

This is Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Nail polish in Sweetie Pie. I love the color, but the formula is very thick. It didn't dry very quickly either. There are still bald spots on my nails after 3 coats. I am a little disappointed with this color. I don't know if it's worth the trouble. 

Sweetie Pie: 3 coats + topcoat

Haul: 5/5/12

Today I had some time to go shopping. I went to Walgreens first because I wanted to pick up some more Wet n' Wild polishes since they were $1. When I got there, there were no signs indicating that they were on sale. So I had to ask the nice lady at the counter, and she gladly priced checked for me. They were indeed $1(or was it $.99?). She then proceeded to tell me that the Sally Hansen Diamond Strength are a great deal this week. Since they were buy one get one 50% + 3 $1 coupons, they ended up being only $3.50 for 2! She even showed me a page in a magazine giving them rave reviews. I happily picked out two bottles that caught my eye.

Next I headed to Big Lots. They had 2 pack Revlon polishes for $2! I picked up 3 packs, so total of 6 polishes.

Revlon  Nail Enamel in: Carbonite and 168 Temptress

914 Tropical Temptation, 168 Temptress, 185 Lilac Pastelle, 120 Hushed Blush, Carbonite,  Black with Envy

I have to admit, There are some colors I wouldn't have gotten if they did not come in a pack. like Hushed blush and Black with Envy. But I am totally in love with the pastel colors (left three). I would have gladly paid $2 each for them, so It's kind of a bonus =).

Group shot! =D

Water bottle swatch

I don't know if I'm the only one who does this. But I always like to swatch my new polishes right when I get home. I always have empty water bottles laying around my room. So it's becoming a habit of mine to swatch my polishes on them.

Hope you liked my haul. I can't wait to try them on my nails! Swatches will be posted soon, please come back and check them out.

Meet: Wet n' Wild Megalast "On a Trip"

What better way to start off this blog with a funky purple? This is the Wet n' Wild Megalast Salon nail color in "On a Trip". This color is also on sale for $1.00 at Walgreen's from now till the 26th of this Month, so this is a great time to pick it up if you like the color.

On a Trip - 2 coats + topcoat (day light)

I personally really like the big brush that these nail polish come with. The formula is not so bad. It's not the fastest drying polish out there, but it gets the job done as long as your not just gooping nail polish on your nails. I'd recommend using a fast drying topcoat with this if you don't have time to wait till it fully dries. Overall, I would definitely try other colors by this line. In fact, I already have the popular "I need a Refresh-mint" and am planning on picking up additional colors by this line.

The color in these photos show up a bit more blue then in real life. I tried to correct that as much as possible. The bottle picture is a closer match to real life.

Hope you enjoy!
