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!

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.

 

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! 

I 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.

In 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.

This 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. 

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. 

I'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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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... 

Another 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 ;)

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!!! 

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?

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! :)

 

 

 

 

Wet N' Wild Mega Last Perfect Petites Holiday 2012 set swatches!

I got another awesome set for Christmas, this time from my parents! This is the Wet N' Wild Mega Last Perfect Petites set. It comes with 8 "petite" (or mini) nail polishes. All polishes are 5ML each. This was a cool little deal from drugstores (CVS and I believe Rite Aid had them as well) around Christmas. I will be posting the colors below as well as pictures of the swatches on a nail wheel (I won't be doing real life swatches as these bottles are smaller than normal.)

The box (which my camera did not want to focus well for...I blame the silver backing of the package :)) :

The first polish of the set (which also didn't want to focus...again I blame the coloring of the actual polish... :)) :



This is 202B- Break the Ice. Break the Ice is a pretty shimmery, almost pearlescent white. It has subtle silver shimmer which is why I don't think my camera could focus on it...apparently my camera doesn't enjoy silver, but I do :) Two coats got it as opaque as a a pearlescent polish can get.

This is 205B- Sugar Coat. Sugar coat is a pale pink color. I'm personally confused on it because it's so pale that it could be considered a light nude. I don't really know...it's pretty either way :) In bottle as you can see, it looks almost off white, but on nail it's a nudeish pink color. At two coats, it still was sheer, so it may be a 3 or 4 coater which is a let down.

This is 209C - Candy-Licious. This is a beautiful pink creme. I'd like to call it a perfect bubblegum creme, but unfortunately it's a little too dark. Two coats is PERFECT coverage with this polish (which I LOVE, like I Need a Refresh-Mint and On a Trip from the same collection).

This is 214C- I Red a Good Book. This is a beautiful, true red. Although this is a beautiful red, I feel that the formula is very thin. I'm really not a fan of thin polishes, and this reminds me of a stain more than a polish.

This is 215B- Haze of Love. This is a very vampy, maroony plum color. This is a PERFECT fall color. Two coats and it was perfectly opaque.

This is 216B- Under Your Spell. This is another vampy, mysterious color that's perfect for fall. It's a sheer black base with gorgeous maroon micro glitters in it. I'm a huge fan of black bases and fine glitters in the same polish. Two coats and it's opaque :)

This is 217B- Disturbia. This is a very deep deep purple. In bottle it has an almost bright purple/pink shimmer to it, almost like a duochrome but on nail it has nothing of the sort. It literally looks like a blackish purple polish with no hints of shimmer or glitter unless you look very up close. This is a perfect reasoning why you should never judge a polish by it's bottle ;) This was completely opaque in 2 coats.



 

This is 208B- Through the Grapevine. This is a very bright, vibrant fuchsia color which I'm a HUGE fan of. This color somewhat reminds me of a brighter Wet N' Wild Fast Dry Fuchsiarama. Two coats and this was fully opaque :)

This is the swatch of all of the colors!:

From left-right: Break the Ice, Sugar Coat, Candy-Licious, I Red a Good Book, Haze of Love, Under Your Spell. Disturbia and Through the Grapevine.
