Wet n' Wild R.I.P Black Magic

 The last tombstone polish I have is Black Magic. This is a black based polish with micro rusty-orange and silver microglitter. I love the fact that the glitters in this polish are very visible, despite it being in a black base. It doesn't dry gritty or bumpy either and I just need one coat of Seche Vite to get it smooth. I did use three coats because I had some bald spots with two. I only had two problems with this polish. One was the brush, it had stray hairs all over the place which I had to cut to be able to have an even brush. The other was the formula. It was pretty thick even though I added a few drops of thinner, so it did take a bit to get even coverage. Still, the end result was fab and the rusty-orange glitter in this polish really gives it that Halloween look.

 


 These polishes are a great bargain for 1.99, issues and all. I only wish they had a greater selection of colors because the tombstone packaging is so adorable! ^_^

Wet n' Wild R.I.P Creepy Pumpkin

 Creepy Pumpkin is a polish I picked up at Ulta for 1.99 during the BOGO free Butter London sale. Sometimes I have to put money aside for these things, so that I won't have to give any explanations later on. Yup, I'm talking about my husband. No need to worry him about these frivolous things. So, I had about 40.00 set aside just for the Butter London polishes and luckily for me there were only four that caught my attention. Which meant that I had a few extra bucks to spend and it was a great coincidence because I just so happened to spot these Wet n' Wild R.I.P. polishes!

 The brush on this one wasn't as crappy as the one from the Purple Potion one, which was good because I'm getting tired of having to nip stray bristles. This was a pretty sheer polish, but it wasn't too thick so I was able to get away with four semi-thin coats to get it opaque. I don't like it when my visible nail line shows too much, otherwise three coats would have been good.





 Orange polishes are definitely not a color that I purchase often, but October really gets me in the mood for orange and black! Plus, my son's school colors are orange and black, so it doesn't hurt to represent every once in awhile. ^_^

Wet n' Wild R.I.P Purple Potion

 Wet n' Wild is such a great brand. I love their collections, but I hate, no I LOATHE that they choose not to have their products for sale online. According, to Wet n' Wild, it is up to the stores to decided what to order from them. While, I respect the choices that regional, district and regular managers at every store makes, it would be a lot less stressful for so many of us nail polish enthusiasts if Wet n' Wild would just offer their limited edition collections online. Luckily, I found these Fantasy Makers at Ulta, but I have yet to locate their On the Prowl and Claw polishes. Many people have already complained to them about our first world problems and maybe in the near future they will listen, but for now all I can do is search far and wide for those collections.

 Purple Potion is a purple glitter suspended in a black jelly base. It looks very similar to another Wet' n Wild polish that they have out, but I can't remember the name at the moment. Hmm.. anywho it is a beautiful polish. In regular lighting it can look pretty much just like a black polish, but in brighter lighting and in the sun? Well, its super sparkly. It did dry to a matte and gritty finish and could have used two coats of top coat, but I only used one of Seche Vite. I did three coats because at two it did leave a few bald spots since I had a bit of trouble applying this polish. I had to put at least eight drops of thinner, if not more, and it was still a gloopy consistency. Also, the brush didn't help, it had several stray bristles that I had to cut to make the brush a bit less crappy.

 Being that this polish was only 1.99, I'm not complaining. It was a really nice polish and according to my husband, it was a badass color. He doesn't say this about many of my polishes, so this is a keeper for sure.
