Wet N' Wild Wildshine Saved by the Bell collection (-1) swatches and review!

Let me start by saying I'm a HUGE Saved by the Bell fan, I used to watch it ALL the time with my sister, and even before school. When I was extremely sick and stayed home from school, I'd still wake up at 6am just to watch it! I loved everything about it, and in the summer, when this collection came out, I freaked out and went to every single store that sold Wet N' Wild stuff and could NOT find it in my area! I was distraught! I had to have it, yet couldn't find it. I looked everywhere online and people were saying they were having a hard time finding it as well. So the other day, I was randomly thinking "Huh, I wonder if Ocean State would have them..." because they often have collections that go under the radar. So I went there, and low and behold I found ONE! Literally 1! That was it...it was Pom Pom Kelly. I was so excited I almost cried! It was the last one left. So a few days later we went to another Ocean State and they had 4 OTHERS!!! I was so happy, so now I only need 1, Nerd Alert: Screech! Anyways, here they are in all their glory!

Image

These are the ones I have, from left to right: Chick Magnet Zack, Straight A Jesse, Pin'em Slater, Pom Pom Kelly, and Fashionista Lisa. Look at how bright and beautiful they are! Now if you don't know, with neon colors or bright colors, you should layer them over 1 or 2 thin coats of white. It helps make the colors stand out brighter.

 Image

This is Pom Pom Kelly, and the picture, as usual, is not doing this ANY justice. This is a gorgeous neon pink color.There's nothing too unique about this color, but it's still beautiful! 

ImageI tried dimming my lights just a tad bit to see if I could get it's true color, but I couldn't. This is showing up as a corally color, but it is actually very bright. For this swatch, I didn't think to do the white coat underneath because I was just too excited to swatch it. So this is 2 coats over my regular nails.

ImageIn this picture, it's perfect to see how sheer this color is. With two coats, you can still see my nail line. Something that I don't like, but with the white underneath, it would fix the problem! This formula is very thin/sheer, so three coats might be best. All of the colors in this collection dry to a satiny finish. This meaning it's not glossy, yet it's not completely matte.

ImageThis is Pin'em Slater, which almost confused me. I would have thought that Zack's color would be yellow because of his hair...but whatever! Pin'em Slater is a beautiful neon yellow, of course, like Pom Pom Kelly, this is a very very sheer color. 

Image

Now you can see the real colors! The first two have no white underneath, while the last two have two thin coats of Sally Hansen Hard to Get. You can see that the first two still show my real nail below the polish. 

ImageI'm totally in love with the brightness of this color! This will be a perfect summer color. The formula, is thin, and also sheer (as I said before) but spreads on very easily.

Image

Fashionista Lisa is a color that I'm not too crazy about...possibly because I have multiple different colors that remind me of this. I would describe this color as a fuchsia, plumy, violet color. I have two dupes in mind for this, Fuchsiarama by Wet N' Wild Fast Dry, and Vibrant Violet by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. This again, is a very sheer color.

Image

With this one, I did three coats. First 2 are by themselves, the last two fingers are over two thin white coats. Although this color is thin and sheer as well, in this picture it doesn't look like there is much of a difference if you wear it alone or over white.

Image

I guess in this picture you can see a little difference as to the last two nails are brighter. I think it's an okay color, but not one I'll run to...I'm really not crazy about it. It of course dries to a satin finish.

Image

Straight-A Jesse is a BEAUTIFUL neon orange! I'm diggin' this color a lot! Like it's partners above, this is another very sheer/thin polish. It's not unique, just a great, neon orange.

Image

Once again, the first two nails are just 2 coats of Straight-A Jesse, and the last two have Straight-A Jesse over two coats of white. I'm loving the neon orange pay off this has over white. It's actually almost like the perfect carrot color...if carrots were neon... 

ImageAnother thing I'm loving about these polishes is the satin finish. I like it a lot...it makes the neons almost brighter in my opinion. This is another I can't wait to wear in the summer...or now ;)

Image

This is Chick Magnet Zack, and my absolute FAVORITE one from the collection. Holy beautiful. This is a gorgeous dark teal color with light teal micro glitters in it. Now with this drying satin as well, it really makes the glitters look awesome!!! 

Image

Now, there's a little saying that goes "One of these things are not like the other..." and this is the definition of that. This polish is NOTHING like the others! It's a little bit thicker, opaque, and dark. I'm not quite sure where this fit in...but I could care less because I love it! This was just 2 coats of it on my natural nail, no white underneath. Beautiful right?

Image

The first finger on this photo shows the satin finish perfectly. I just, the satin finish, with the glitter, and the color itself really works for this polish. I'm currently wearing this on 4 fingers (and will be painting the rest tomorrow...I'm too tired ;D) but I'm curious to see how this would look with a matte top coat on!

 

I bought all of these polishes at my local Ocean State Job Lot for $.88 a piece! Crazy steal! :)

  1. I think the orange and yellow look much better over the white polish :)
