Wet n' Wild~Cougar Attack & Ready to Pounce

Halloween is in one short week and I thought I had better get the last of my fall collections up.  So I spent most of my morning swatching the rest of my Fall 2011 polishes.  There are so many exciting Holiday collections coming out and I can't wait to get my hands on all glittery goodness!  But we do have a few more days left to enjoy the spooky decorations and candy. 
Last week, I stopped into CVS and to my suprise, there was a FULL display of Wet n' Wilds On the Prowl Collection.  I posted a couple weeks ago the 5 polishes I could find last month and you can find that post here.  Since the display was full, I was able to pick up, or I should say, grab the last 2 polishes I needed to complete my set of On the Prowl.  Cougar Attack and Ready to Pounce were each $1.99 and I really don't think there is a better polish out ther for the price. 

Cougar Attack is a sheer brown base with tons of copper glitter.

Ready to Pounce is a dark purply shimmer.  It is beautiful.

I read somewhere that Cougar Attack was a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Superstar.  I had to check this out for myself and this is what I found:

Pretty darn close!  Superstar has just a touch more glitter than Cougar Attack.  But definitely close enough in my book!  Check your CVS one more time if you missed out on this collection, they just might have a full display. 

Wet n' Wild~On The Prowl

Halloween is just around the corner and I am so excited!  I have 2 kids who know what they want to be and my little one can't decide.  So I am going to get busy coming up with a werewolf and a zombie bride(I can't wait to do her make-up) costumes and wait until my youngest makes up his mind.  I finally tracked down the Wet n' Wild~On the Prowl Halloween collection.  This collection took it's sweet time to show up in my neck of the woods.  When I did finally find it, I didn't find a full display.  But I did get 5 of the 8 and I am still searching for a couple more.  I found these polishes at CVS for $1.99 each.  You need these polishes, so find them, wear them, love them.  These are all 2 coats.

Correction Tape is a fun polish!  Its a clear base with gold, fuchsia, & bright blue, medium hex and square glitter and a smaller black hex.  This is a fun color that would also work for Mardi Gras too! 

Tangled in my Web is a clear base with small black hex glitter.  All by it's self, I don't really like it, but layered over other colors, it's really cool.

Behind Closed Doors is a sheer black base with medium red hex and tiny red glitter.  I LOVE this one!  I even like how trippy it looks.  I tried to float the glitter on, but when I did that, it made the base look weird.  I like it though.

Jungle Fever is a dusty apple green shimmer.  Not sure if the name, Jungle Fever, is Halloween-ish, but the color sure is.  It was a little sheer, but 3 coats would take care of that.

Buy Me a Drink is a beautiful smokey berry shimmer.  It has a slight light from with in glow that we haven't seen in a while.  Such a gorgeous shade!

I am going to layer the glitters over different colors to show you the versatility of them.  This is a really great collection and if you can find it, get it!  I still need Cougar Attack & Ready to Pounce :)

Wet n' Wild Holiday Polish

Happy Wednesday, December 22, 2010!  I have been struggling to get this post up for almost a week now and life keeps getting in the way.  Sorry if I have been a lousy blogger lately and to the person who said it gets easier when your kids get older, you are wrong, very wrong!

I do have some very pretty polish to show you though.  Wet n' Wild came out with these cute little mini sets of sparkly polish paired up with a Megalast top coat.  I have 4 of them for you.

Dancer is silver and irredescent glitter in a clear base.

Donner is a gold shimmer with specks of silver and irredescent micro glitter and little strips of glitter.

Blitzen is my favorite of these four.  It is a champagne shimmer with tiny gold and larger red glitter.

Prancer is a really great too.  Its a clear base with little and bigger hex red glitter.  I have seen this layered over black polish and is is gorgeous.

Most of these are better used for layering, but I do like them alone as well.  I found these pretties at Walgrens, on sale for .99!  Happy Shopping!

Wet n' Wild~Blackmail

Several weeks ago I went on a couple of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure hunts.  On all but one of those hunts, I didn't find Hidden Treasure, but I always managed to come home with a polish or two :)  Wet n' Wild~Blackmail is one of those finds.  I was really excited when I spotted this polish.  In the bottle, it's black with dark pink sparkles.  I have wanted a black/pink glitter combo for a while, so I was excited to try it.  Unfortunatley, on my nails, the pink glitter gets lost or over powered by the black. 

Wet n' Wild Megalast

Wet n' Wild has came out with a whole bunch of new goodies and today I have 2 colors from their Megalast polish line.  The polish comes in these cute little squatty bottle, which means the brush is short.  I had some issues with the brushes on both of these polishes.  The stem of the brush is very short and the brush has too many bristles.  It looks as if they tried to round the bristles, but there are just too many of them to make it work right.  I found it to be a little combersome.  The colors are beautiful and the price was $1.99! 

Disturbia is a deep purple shimmer.

Under Your Spell is a smokey dark blackened red shimmer.

While these colors are very pretty, I don't think they are anything special.  I am sure just about every brand out there has something comparable.  It basically comes down to availabilty and personal preference.  Oh, and the $1.99 price tag :)

Wet n' Wild-Wild Shine

Wet n' Wild has some new colors out and today a have two of their Wild Shine line, Night Prowl and Blue Moon.  These are so pretty!  Not to mention they are only 99cents!

Night Prowl is a dark magenta glitter in a sheer black base.

Blue Moon is beautiful turquoise-y blue shimmer in blue/black base.

Both of these are really great colors and you can't beat the price!

Noctunal & Konad

I am really into animal prints and I would love a snake skin Konad image.  But, since it doesn't exist(as far as I know), I used my favorite plate, M57 with Color Club Revvvolution over Wet n Wild Nocturnal.  Kind-of-sort-of snake skin, don't you think???

As always, OC NAIL ART is the place to shop for your Konad and don't forget about the 30% discount, naildpolishd, at check out!

 

Wet n Wild

The first make-up I ever owned was Wet n Wild.  What pre-teen could pass up the .99 price tag and cool colors?  As I grew older, I still had a hard time passing up that .99 price and those cool colors.  While times have changed and the price has gone up of most of their line, Wet n Wild still offers great polish and make-up at an totally affordable price.  They've just came out with a bunch of new stuff that I am dying to try!

The 3 colors I have today are from their Craze Collection.  Cute little round bottles, the only problem I had was that the cap and brush were a little too short for me.  No biggy, just my preference.

Nocturnal is a super dark inky blue/black.  It is definatley blue, but very dark.  My favorite of the 3.

Inferno is a shimmery orange.  Almost a burnt orange.  I love this color for Halloween and PowerLifterChick did a really cool Konad with it you should check out at her fabulous blog, The Kronicles of a Konader. 

Glitz is a really sweet fushia disco ball glitter.
