Hey everybody! I hope you're all having a lovely weekend. Yesterday was beauty salon day...YAY! My hair grows like a weed, so it's always a huge relief to go for my 6-week haircut. And besides, I love getting my scalp scrubbed. :)
To continue with my drugstore bonanza shop fest from last weekend, today's post features 2 polishes from the Wet n Wild Wild Shine Summer Festival collection. This collection was a summer 2014 limited edition.
First up is Chambray Showers, a light blue creme reminiscent of Sleeping Beauty turquoise.
The formula on Chambray Showers was great. I used 2 coats, and the wear time was really good. I don't know where all those little spots you see in the pic came from. I sure don't remember seeing polka-dotted showers in person. :/ And a word of warning: Chambray Showers will stain a bit.
Another of the Summer Festival collection I chose was rather NOT me, but I really like the way it looked in the store, so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did, because Ferris-Wheel Romance is a cool-toned apricot that doesn't have those annoying coral tendencies that irk me.
I've read other people describe this color as coral, but I wouldn't call it coral It's too respectable to be called such a thing. :D Ferris-Wheel Romance had another fantastic creme formula with great wear time as well.
Ferris-Wheel Romance...what a name. Mr. Sweets finds nothing romantic about a ferris wheel. He is rather panicky during the duration of the ride and gets unnecessarily chatty to get his mind off the fact that he can see over the trees.
I found these LE Wild Shines at Walgreens during their Wet n Wild sale...so I paid a whopping $.69 each for them. :) There is something a bit retro about these two colors. Chambray Showers has that 1960's turquoise blue kitchen look. I especially recommend Ferris-Wheel Romance for anybody who wants a true, non-yellow influenced apricot. Oh, and they really are shiny. :)
Thanks for reading, and have a lovely day! <3
Both are pretty cremes! I don't have much colors from Wet n' Wild but I'll have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteI had never tried the Wild Shines before, but I'm telling you...what a great wear time these have.
DeleteI love Ferris Wheel Romance on you, good call picking it up! I lol'd when I read about Mr Sweet's dislike of Ferris Wheels, sounds like he is not a fan of heights! :}
ReplyDeleteI guess you could say that my dislike of peach polish rivals Mr. Sweets' dislike of ferris wheels, LOL. But the lack of yellow undertones makes ALL the difference in my book. <3
DeleteThe Wild Shines are one of the lines I let myself buy even not on sale. :) They certainly don't apply like cheap polish.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I read another blog that referred to these as "you get what you pay for", but I found that to be quite the opposite.
