Just like most people, I am always on the lookout for great products for cheap, and I find that's ESPECIALLY difficult with nail polish; for me it's pretty hit or miss with the cheaper brands. Wet n Wild has always been a favorite of mine for cosmetics just as it is with many other beauty and nail bloggers, and I'm always watching for new releases. I was so excited to see they have new nail polish! These polishes are the same price as the old Wild Shine polishes (99 cents!) but they are completely reformulated with new packaging and new shades! I found these at Walgreens. I bought six of them to start out in shades that caught my eye. Check them out below!
"Red Red" is exactly how it sounds: Red. In certain lights it has some pink tones but it's a pretty, true medium red. It's a creme formula and the opacity was spot on after just ONE coat! I painted on two out of habit but honestly, one coat is all you need. Great if you're short on time.
"Nuclear War" is a true bright orange. It jumped out at me and since I don't have much orange in my collection I figured I'd give it a shot. This. Formula. Is. BANANAS. It's almost more of a really pigmented jelly. Glides on like a dream and you can get away with one coat, but two coats make it really pop.
"Putting on Aires"...... I'm at a loss for words. This color is absolutely GORGEOUS, I knew I needed it as soon as I saw it. A very bright sky blue creme. Thicker coats are needed as this polish is a little harder to work with but it's very easy to even out and is totally worth it. GO BUY IT, YOU NEED IT.
"Yo Soy" is a beautiful nude-eggshell creme. This is the only polish I truly had issues with. The color is fantastic and will work with so many skin tones, but the formula...it's patchy and hard to work with, but opacity CAN be achieved with two thick coats. Set it with a fast drying topcoat and you should be fine.
"Ready to Propose" is one of my favorites, although it's hard to pick one. It's THE PERFECT metallic gold. It's not full of crazy chunky multi-chromatic glitter or hard to remove at all! It applies like an absolute dream and shines beautifully. Let it speak for itself (and excuse my discolored cuticles, there were a lot of colors to swatch!)
All in all, these polishes are definitely a HIT, the formulas are great for the most part, and the color selection is fantastic (there are WAY more than I have here! I'm going to go get some more!) The only thing I should point out is that while the shape of the new bottle is really cool, the casings on the tops are prone to falling off. This isn't a big issue, just a little superglue on the inside of the top and it's totally fine! Go pick some up, see for yourself, this new formula is a winner!!!
