Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Black Magic

Good morning, Dear Reader!

When I got home last night I changed my nail color to one of the Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers, Black Magic, which I'd shown you bottle pics of but not swatches when I got them.  It's a black that's loaded up with very fine glitters, and it turned out to be quite nice.

The tombstone cap wasn't a problem to use as a brush handle, but the brush itself falls short of ideal.  It's long and kind of floppy, and mine had some wacky stray hairs.  My experience of Wet n Wild is that the quality of the products is generally good, particularly for the price, and that the quality of the packaging is what keeps the cost as low as it is, so I wasn't horrified to discover that the brush wasn't great.

I applied base coat, two coats of Black Magic, which was enough for even and opaque coverage, and a coat of Poshe.  The brush only interfered with one nail, my middle left, where the edge of the polish along the cuticle is imperfect, but not enough of a problem to actually do something about it.  This morning, after it dried nicely, I took pictures of it in the sun.  Here is Wet n Wild Black Magic.

Here's a closer look at the glitter.

I absolutely love this polish - it's really fun to wear.  Out of bright light, it's clear that there's glitter in it, and then in bright light it's really sparkly and cool.  I was definitely worth the $2-$3 I spent on it.

That is what I know about Wet n Wild Fantasy Maker Black Magic, my manicure for the day, so until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!

Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers 2011

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I ran into the 2011 Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers display last night in a really unlikely place, and I have two of the nail polishes from it to show you.  Fantasy Makers polishes are the ones that come in the little tombstone bottles, so the Halloween theme of these is pretty campy in a good way.  It's raining, so the pictures are indoors.

It was strange to find them because I was in a store that has just a few basic beauty items as kind of a convenience afterthought, not anything to get people there, and I ran into two full standalone displays in completely different sections of the store, and near one of them, on a shelf with extension cords, were several of the tabletop displays of the round little jack o' lantern glow in the dark polishes.  I eyed a hot pink one, and moved along without it.

In the Fantasy Makers displays, I noticed something odd.  There were two little rows of a polish named Black Magic in each, and in both displays there were two versions of Black Magic.  One was a black creme, which I left that behind along with the glow in the dark top coat, and the other is full of lots of fine glitter.  This is the glitter version of Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Black Magic.

Here's a closer look at the glitter.

The other one I brought home is call Purple Potion.  It's similar but the glitter is purple-y fuchsia, and this might be the most poorly formed bottle I've ever seen.

I'll be trying these out soon, but I wanted to let you know the displays are showing up and that there are two version of Black Magic in it.

That's just about it, so until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!

Wet n Wild Blackest Green

Good morning, Dear Reader!

Today's Nails of the Day is Wet n Wild Blackest Green, a really cool blackened green shimmer.  It took three coats on me, but the dry time is good and I otherwise have no complaints, so I like it.

That's the short but sweet update for this morning, Dear Reader.  Until next time, love and nail polish to you!  


Wet n Wild Teal of Fortune

Good morning, Dear Reader!

Today I have Wet n Wild Teal of Fortune for you, one of the new Wet n Wild Fast Dry polishes.  It a sparkly  teal that's very smooth - it seems to have big shimmer bits rather than glitter.  Here's two coats over a base with top coat.

I like it, but I thought I'd like it more with the addition of a coat of China Glaze Crushed Candy Crackle Glaze.

That's much better!

Until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!  


Wet n Wild Fast Dry Nail Polish

Good morning, Dear Reader!

This morning I wanted to just do a fun manicure, something really entertaining for me to look at.  I set the coffee to brew and eyed my Chez Delaney XL plates, but was still uninspired as far as a mani.  I did get inspiration to go get some M&M's to have for breakfast with my coffee, so I bundled up and went out.  I was really just up for going out for any reason - I've been completely snowed in all week.

On my way to Walgreen's for my M&M's, I saw a sign that could only appear in the Midwest.  It tickled me so much that I went home to get my camera so I could show it to you.

Global Warming
Political Expression in the Heartland of America
I think the mingling of upper and lower case letters somehow adds to the charm just as much as the choice of cardboard as a medium of self expression.  I love it.  If you look at the A's, you'll see it looks like the "ha ha" came from someone else who loved it too.

After admiring the sign, I continued to Walgreen's for my M&M's.  I saw they had Essie's retail line in their flyer, and there are a couple I'd like to see, so I scanned the nail polish section looking for where they'd fit Essie in.  I didn't see them, but what I did see was a bunch of Wet n Wild Fast Dry polishes, which I've never seen before.  This particular store often stashes LE items into the regular shelves, and there were no price tags on the shelf for these, so I have no idea what they are other than cheap ($1.99 each) and very pretty with fun TV-themed names, so I grabbed a couple and had what I needed for a fun manicure.  Just so I don't leave you hanging, I did get my M&M's as well!

I started with Saved by the Blue, which is a really vivid blue shimmer, almost a foil.  This one, I was hoping to use for Konad, but the first coat was quite sheer, so that doesn't seem viable.  After two coats, Saved by the Blue is perfect.

Isn't that a great blue?  It reminds me of China Glaze Frostbite.  Alone, Saved by the Blue wasn't quite festive enough for me, so I added one coat of Party of Five Glitters to it.

Now it looks like I'm having a very loud party on my nails, and all is right with the world.

That being finished, I'm off to savor a leisurely weekend breakfast of peanut M&M's and coffee while watching a horror movie.  Luxury at its finest!  So until tomorrow, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
