Swatch: Nicole by OPI "Baby" Blue

Hello! Today I will be showing you the second polish that I picked up for my bestfriend! Yesterday I showed you Nicole by OPI Coral Denominator, which you can see HERE.


Today, I have Nicole by OPI "Baby" Blue.

 
Above is only 2 coats, with no topcoat! The formula was perfect, especially for a color like this! I was very impressed! It's your basic "baby" blue creme, nothing else, except for the good formula!

Whanks for reading!

Swatch: Nicole by OPI Coral Denominator

I recently found a 2-pack of Nicole by OPI at TJ Maxx for only $7.99! What a great deal! I actually picked up this set for my friend (who also loves nail polish) because she had picked up some polish for me not so long ago. There were a wide variety of color selections, but I chose Nicole by OPI Coral Denominator and "Baby" Blue.

 
Before I gave my best friend her gift, I had to make sure that the polish was of good quality and worth giving to her... Actually, I just wanted to swatch it... So here is a swatch of Nicole by OPI Coral Denominatior.


Nicole by OPI Coral Denominator is a very heavy golden shimmer in a coralish-pinkish base. This is three coats. The formula was little thin, but nothing uncontrolable, and definitely worth it!

This is such a pretty color! I love it! But I already have a ton polish, and my friend is just starting her obsession, plus she loves these types of colors, so I decided to gift it to her! She's acutally worn it already and loves it too!

Thanks for reading!

Wet n Wild Value Set Swatches: Part 2

Hello to my awesome followers! I'm still on vay-cay in Florida, so this is a scheduled post! This is Part 2 of my swatches of my Wet n Wild Value set that I got at Walgreens for $9.99!

You can see my haul post HERE.
You can see Part 1 HERE.


Today, I'll be showing you Part 2 of this value set, which is the Wet n Wild FastDry polishes! Once again, I have finger swatches for you! Here we go!


Wet n Wild 9.0.2.1. Orange.
A orange glitter/shimmer polish. Pretty sheer, this is 4 thin coats. However, I bet you could get away with 3 thicker coats. No top coat.


Wet n Wild FuchsiaRama.
A lovely pink creme polish. It dries to a rubber (in-bettween matte and glossy) finish. This is 3 coats, no top coat.


Wet n Wild The Wonder Yellows.
A frosty yellow. A frost that people should like, its so pretty! This is 3 coats without topcoat.


Wet n Wild Sage in the City.
A shimmery green. 3 coats, and again, no top coat.

What pretty colors, right?!?! The formula on all these were nice. Not really any problems. They were quick drying, so 3 coats was no big deal. The brushes were nice too, the standard FastDry brush!

FINAL VERDIT: This half of the set is nice! Some great polishes in some great colors! I would buy the set for these colors... even though that would be a rip-off, haha! If you don't already own any of these polishes (or the polishes from post 1)... BUY THE SET! It is a great deal for only $9.99! You get great colors, nice formulas, good dry time, for a good price! You can't beat it!

Do you like these FastDry polishes? Do you own any of them, which ones? Have you bought the Value Set yet? Are you going to buy the set now? Leave a comment and let me know! Thanks for reading!

Wet n Wild Value Set Swatches: Part 1

Hello dear followers! Yes, I'm still in Florida today! And yes, this is a scheduled post! :)


Whenever I posted my Haul from Oklahoma City, a lot of you commented on the Wet n Wild Value Set that came with 8 great polishes for only $9.99! I got this set at Walgreens, and you can see that post HERE.

Today, I will be showing you Part 1 of this value set, which is the Wet n Wild MegaLast polishes! These are finger swatches because I didn't have time to do all my hand- I hope you don't mind! Let's get started!


Wet n Wild I Need A Refresh-Mint.
A lovely "tiffany" inspired blue creme. This is 3 coats. No top coat.


Wet n Wild Wet Cement.
A basic taupe creme that's great for fall. Again, this is 3 coats with no top coat.


 Wet n Wild I Red A Good Book.
A basic and classy red jelly. This is 2 coats. No top coat.


Wet n Wild On A Trip.
 A beautiful purple creme. Again, 2 coats with no top coat.

Now that you've seen all the lovely colors, let's talk formula and brushes! Okay, these brushes... A huge! Surprisingly, I don't mind them! You have to be very careful when applying the polish because the brush can make the polish pool and run. However, if you apply thin coats, then it's amazing! All the coats I used for the swatches were thin coats. I'm sure that the 3 coaters would be 2 coaters if my coats weren't so thin! Despite being careful then applying, they went on easily! Dry time was good!

FINAL VERDICT: This half of the set is great (you'll just have to check back in a few days to see the other half of the set)! I would by the value set just for these 4 polishes! If you don't mind careful application, I would get them! The formula is GREAT!

So, do you own any Wet n Wild MegaLast polishes? If so, which ones? Any of these four? What's your favorite polish in this post? I want to hear! Leave a comment below! Thanks for reading!
