Wet n Wild Flash Dry Nail Colors

If there was an "most unique drugstore" nail polish award - Wet n Wild's Flash dry in Speed/Vitesse ($1.79) would definitely win first place.  A navy blue based polish with fine gold, purple, blue and pink micro glitter making this gorgeous and a very unique color. 

After the first coat, you'll notice a navy-blue based polish.  Then, purple micro glitter shines through and takes on a whole new level.  Since this polish is drenched in glitter - it was next to impossible to capture the true beauty.  The Downfall: Flash dry is a fast drying formula so there's no time for mess-up's.  And, too many application swipes may cause some bubbling.

 

Rush/Presto - a peach pink shade with gold shimmer.  This is the outcome I would of liked nars orgasm polish to reflect - it's a pinker and prettier version. 

The flash dry collection is only available for a limited time only at your local grocery or drugstore.

China Glaze Wagon Trail has a twin sister

One of China Glaze's prize winners from the Fall Rodeo Diva collection is Wagon Trail.  A gorgeous black with goldish green shimmer - that's truely unique.  Yes, it's black - but very suitable for most people.  This is a color that can't mistaken anywhere.  So, when I popped into my local drugstore and saw the new wet n wild display, I knew it was an exact dupe.

Check out some pictures below.

(Right) Wet n Wild Rock Solid nail polish in Stunner - a limited edition shade.  (Left) China Glaze nail polish in Wagon Trail.

Wet n Wild's Stunner applied perfectly within two applications.  The formula was a tad bit thicker than China Glaze's, which was nice. 

Stunner is a excellent dupe for Wagon Trail - if you can find it.  You'll probably have better luck finding Wagon Trail since it's readily available online.  Regardless, both shades are equally beautiful.

Limited Edition: New colors from Wet n Wild

Wet n Wild introduces six new limited edition rock solid nail colors this season.  Overall, this is a fabulous mixture of dark and seducing shades for fall.  This collection is definitely a hit, retailing at just $2.69 a pop.

The colors ranging from dark steel, blue, purple and red's - sure to please any appetite.  One particular thing I would have changed is the red shades.  Mysterious is just your basic red shimmer.  And, boy, if that were substituted for a green version - nail addicts around the world would be going crazy for this.

Pictured Above, Femme Fatale - a dark charcoal grey with blue and green shimmer that is one of my favorites.

Check out more swatches below.   

 Sexy Siren - a vibrant blue with aqua blue shimmer.  Very pretty but, not so unique.

Seductress - a blackened purple with pink and purple shimmer.  Blackened shades with shimmer are really hard to capture on my digital camera.  But, this color is much pretty in person.

Stunner, wow - the name just says it all, doesn't it?  A black with gold specks of shimmer and a exact match to China Glaze's Wagon Trail.  If it wasn't for the release of Wagon Trail, I'd say this is the most unique out of the collection.

 

Temptress - a dark, vampy blood red with matching shimmer.  A sexy dark red that's stunning.  It may not be the most unique but, it's definitely goes with the fall theme.

 

Mysterious is just your basic ruby red shade with pink and red glitter.  In the picture above it looks more as a cherry red but, it real life it's actually darker.  Mysterious was my least favorite shade out of the Mistress of Darkness collection.  Now, if they'd substituted this red for a dark vampy green - well, I think we all know how that would have went, right?! 

This collection should be available at most grocery stores, drug stores, etc.

Limited Edition: Wet n Wild Holiday Gift Sets

The label should read - calling all nail polish junkies!  A few days ago, I stumbled across Wet n' Wild's holiday gifts sets for five bucks at my local Meijers.   Of course, the only reason that attracted me to the gift set was the precious metal nail polishes that looked simply metalicious and right up my alley.

Five bucks is a great deal for seven different beauty items.  Heck, you can't even get a bottle of Sally Hansen's Salon polish for that price.  Cosmetic companies are marketing geniuses around the holiday season.  They always include one or two fabulous products in holiday sets that you just can't resist.  In this case, it's the metall nail lacquers.

Check out the nail colors below. 

The nail poilshes don't officially have names since their included in gift sets, just shade numbers.  352 is described as a red/pink metallic with silver shimmer. Application and formula was perfect. 

354, my obvious favorite, is described as a pink/purple metallic with silver shimmer. This shade is so cool you guys, it's like piinkish purple foil on my nails - totally retro.   

Don't need the extra items?  You can always give the extra goodies to your sister, mom, friend or even a reader on your blog or site!

The holiday sets should be popping up now at your local stores.
