WET N WILD –
Back Alley Deals
Hi
Goddesses
I have
decided to go a little bit BIGGER lol and to take a central stance J I only write
this thing, but when I’ve gone back and looked at it, I find it quite hard to
read. So, I’ve decided to take the hint
from most other bloggers – let me know what you think!
Sooooo,
today we have Back Alley Deals from Wet n Wild’s recent Coloricon ICE Collection. There are 2 important things to say at the
start – this was sent to me my one of the best friends I have made through
Facebook / PAA and one of my biggest advocates, the amazing Elizabeth
Stern. Secondly, my camera still can’t
photograph purples for shit.

I did seriously
debate whether to do this post without any photos at all – some of them are THAT
bad. I have decided to include them,
because they do give you a glimpse of this amazing polish, but you’ll probably
get a better idea of this polish if you close your eyes and get someone to read
this out to you!
Let me just
make this very clear – the polish is not in any way blue, and there’s at least twice as much glitter
as the camera is finding.
Sooooo,
this is purple and it’s a glitter. Any
guesses as to whether I might like this lol ??
actually I don’t like it, I LOVE it.
It’s amazing in several ways and I am really reluctant to take it off –
mainly because I had to use 3 coats and I just KNOW it’s going to be a pain to
remove J
Let me
describe this polish for you –
- It’s violently violent, amazingly so
- It has a clear base filled with microscopic purple and violet micro glitter and larger violet pieces
- The larger violet pieces float to the top, fluorescing like radioactive pinkish bacteria – it’s an amazing effect and gives this an incredible wow factor
- The contrast of the purple base and the violet flecks creates a wondrous effect, almost like how Nubar 2010 turns polishes. This can really be admired and angled in the light. Seriously, this is intense
There’s
only really one negative. The
bottle. I love the normal WnW cylinder,
but these are stubby little square bottles.
Which is ok, until ….. until you want to put the polish on. The lid casts a MASSIVE shadow over the puny
little brush and it’s really hard to see what you’re doing. It’s a minor niggle, but it made for quite
awkward application.
Also, this
dries quite gritty. I’ve super shined
mine up with Gelous and Poshe, but this didn’t stop every nail having a
scratchy tip – lots of family required.
You also can’t tell from the photos, but the 2nd day I put a
coat of OPI I Juggle … Men on top, and it just made the violet sing at a whole
new volume – inspired Crumpeteering!
I loves me this
lots and lots and lots. I cannot
over-stress the radioactive element. I’ve
tried to find something on Google to highlight how intense this violet glitter
is, and this is the best I can do.
So, enjoy
the sucky photos, and buy the polish – you’ll enjoy that even more !!

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
