Wet n Wild- Night Prowl

Hi Guys, we've made it half way through the week!!! Hope you are all holding up ok:-) Nothing to exciting going on here (which is nice), so I'll get right to it...
I've had this a while, and I've seen it a couple times swatched, so I don't know why I waited so long to try it. I kept meaning to, then I would get new colors and this got put aside. So I finally put this on and WOAH:-) It's so pretty and for $1.99 everyone should have this!
It has a thin black base and magenta glitter throughout. The first coat went on really watery, then 2 more thin coats and totally opaque. Because the base is so thin, the glitter doesn't get lost, it glows through each layer. You can click on the pictures to enlarge and get a closer look:


Even though it was thin, it was pretty easy to control and as long as you don't get too much on the brush, it wont pool. I haven't tried that many Wet n Wild polishes but maybe I'll look a little closer next time i hit the drug store.

Sephora by OPI- Studs and Stillettos & Wet-n-Wild The Gold and the Beautiful

I had this really 'good' idea that turned out to be not so good. I thought, "lets do a gold glitter gradient over the top of a rich brown, that would be so pretty for fall"! Well in my head, it looked very different than what I ended up with.
I really liked Studs and Stilettos, it looked like a chocolate bar on my fingers. It covered nicely and almost had a cool brown tone. I don't use Sephora by OPI often because, for some reason they are more expensive then regular OPI, rarely go on sale, and do not have as good of color selection. I am really happy with this polish though, so maybe I'll try some more!




Then I went ahead and wrecked it! I don't really know why I say that because I got a ton of compliments on it; I think maybe I didn't like it because it wasn't what I expected it to look like? Well, I've had good luck with gradients in the past using Sinful Colors glitters either alone or over a base color. This glitter did not want to do that.
Wet-n-Wilds The Gold and the Beautiful is really sheer on its own but when I used it over SnS, it wanted to hide it, and be the star! The tips did end up more concentrated, but back near the cuticle, very little brown showed. The other thing that might have been an issue is SnS is a cool brown with subtle silver shimmer, and TGatB is a very warm almost bronze gold. It isn't terrible but even with no wear, I had to take it off in 2 days. Am I being crazy? Whats your opinion?
