First of all, my Walgreen's never gets anything good. EVER. Seriously. So I almost passed out when I walked in there yesterday and they had a full display of the Wet 'n Wild limited edition holiday collection, Ice Baby. I was good and only bought one (on that trip to Walgreen's, at any rate), Believe Me, It's Real. Observe.
One coat over a coat of Revlon Royal. I probably could have gotten it opaque with several coats, but 1) That would probably have made it even thirstier and grittier than it already is, and 2) I must conserve the precious since it's limited edition.
It is so perfect. Primarily blue glitter with some purple glitter tossed in there. According to Scrangie this is a pretty darn reasonable facsimile of Nails Inc Connaught Square.
As I mentioned above, this is a thirsty glitter. I used Gelous and two coats of Pro FX and I still have a bit of bumpiness going on. Nothing I can't handle though, happily!
The sparkles kind of freaked out my camera a little bit here. I love it when a glitter has enough bling to make my camera unsure where to focus. =D
Bottom line... if you see these and you like glitter at all, grab them. This is a truly wonderful polish, and the price is right at $2.99!
Happy Friday, folks!
gawwwwd girl, you are killing me here! lol I would love to get my filthy little mitts all over these WnWs but the LE collections hardly ever find their way to Canada-land...sigh! I shall admire from afar though. This is beautiful on ya! <3
