Wet n Wild - 224C The Wonder Yellows

I think I have actually blogged this one before. However I'm currently painting all my yellows and golds, so went back to this one for a second go. This was sent over by my lovely friend, Jeff. It's a bright, sunny yellow pearl. Easy to paint on but the brush is a little bristly.

Yes, it does streak, for those who dislike streaky frosts. Also I only did two coats so you can see it is not very opaque.

Been fairly chip resistant so far. :)

Wet n Wild - The Wonder Yellows

Very pretty daffodil yellow. Pearly and glossy. The brush was not very good and was hard to get into the edges of the nail smoothly and apply the polish without dragging. The brush was a little bit hard bristled.

I did two coats but you can still see the level of transparency there. Both top photos are under fluorescent light. The last one under normal lightbulb. Unfortunately the day time shot I took was shaky.

This was a present from my friend, Jeff, from USA. 

Wet n Wild - Blue Wants to be a Millionaire

So this is the Wet n Wild range that distorts a few tv show names to be funny. Ha ha. This polish was happily sent over from USA by my mate Jeff who said that he got a few funny looks as he pored through the nail polish section, examining each bottle closely. In the bottle, you can see a lovely medium blue colour but I am thinking you might need several coats to achieve it. On my nails is already 3 coats and it is still a very soft powder blue. The holograph glitter is lovely though. Brush is bristly unfortunately, and splays out at odd angles. I noticed this in all the Wet n Wild bottles that came over, but HEY what do you really want from a $2 nail polish?! So yeah, hard plastic bristles is a little bit of a let down but we are not getting into a Chanel $32 polish are we???

Holograph glitter... *sigh* if only this kind of thing was around when I was 10. I would have gone nutso.

** addition - I've now put this on a nail wheel along with my other holographics, and sad to say I don't think this is a true holographic. It is more like blue with holo microglitter. Compared to the others, it just doesn't do that awesome visual effect. A true holo should give you stark bands of colour like a rainbow that shift when you move your nails.
