Wet n' Wild Halloween Polishes and Some Crazes

I love Halloween polishes. I love Fall stuff best because I like rich colors and fun stuff like spooky colors, vampies, and glitter. I'll get the OPI and China Glaze stuff in due time but meanwhile I got the Wet n' Wild Halloween polishes, and a few of the Crazes, which I thought were okay but nothing special.

I got all of the polishes except one that was in a special pack, and it was a standard, boring red. I haven't pictured Black Pearl, I will when I find it, but it's just a standard black creme. Wet n' Wild goes on just fine. If anything it's a bit on the watery side. The glitters are sparse and in a clear base, you could put them on all day and not get full coverage. You could wear them sheer, or over something. They're fun, cheap polish. All of these pictures are two coats, no top coat.

Wet n' Wild Black Magic is a fun multicolored strip glitter in a clear base. I SO wish this had more glitter in it, I love strip glitter.:

Wet n' Wild Night Glow, a sheer slightly yellowish topcoat, is supposed to glow in the dark. It kinda does, after a fashion, if you look really hard. This is a waste of time and money.:

Wet n' Wild Deception looks kinda like if someone put shimmer in dried blood. I totally love this color. I think it's smokin'.:

Wet n' Wild Magical is very fine gold glitter and slightly larger copper glitter in a clear base. I like this, it would make a nice topcoat, or even alone I think it's pretty, even if it is sheer. Reminds me of the new Sinful All About You glitter, same idea of old gold and a bit of copper glitter to give it pop. Sinful is the better choice, IMO, because the ratio of glitter to clear polish is higher.:

They also sell two little bottles of holographic glitter, a silver and a pale rose pink. Nice!!! I'll be having fun with these!:

The new Wet n' Wild Craze line is basically just cheap polish with a few more contemporary fashion colors than Wet n' Wild usually carries. I only bought a few, the only other one I kind of wanted was a teal shimmer in black, and I have Zoya Akyra for that. They are fun cheap substitutes for more expensive polishes in similar colors. They're fairly basic.

Wet n' Wild Glitz is a hot pink glitter with some blue. The grain is medium, and it's far too sheer. Gets washed out. Not a favorite, and I love glitter.:

Wet n' Wild Inferno, bright orange with gold shimmer.:

Wet n' Wild Jade, medium green with gold shimmer, pretty standard.:

Wet n' Wild Rustic, a nice bronze shimmer. I like this one. Compare it to the much pricier Butter London The Old Bill. This is warmer, prettier, and cheaper.

So run out to your local drugstore now, if ya want'em!!

Fun Stuff I've Gotten Lately - Mmmmm Glittery!

I got some good stuff the past week or so in the mail and the drugstore.

LOVE this one! Just enough holo glitter to cause that circular oilslick rainbow, but not enough to be a full holographic.

From the Color Club Femme Fatale Collection, along with Revvvolution, but I wanted this one far less than Revvvolution. Only bought it because it's a holo. Silvers aren't my favorite.

This has a gorgeous blue and gold duochrome, and it's a unique one because the blue part of the duochrome is lighter than the blue of the base. It makes it look like it is topped with glass. It's very lovely. I don't enjoy the fake blueberry smell it has. It does fade though.

I bought this thinking it might be close to China Glaze's glass fleck No Way Jose. But it isn't really at all. It's too silvery, almost a metallic. But it's pretty, and cheap.

Gorgeous vampy burgundy with a deep shimmer, both in the base color and a darker purple. I LOVE this.

But the stars of my acquisitions are the Massinis a friend helped me buy. I utterly adore these!!! They are not holos, just glitters. I wanted these for a very long time and was so excited to have them!
