The 67¢ Nail Polish

Screen shot 2011-03-30 at 10.33.00 PM

I am a nail polish addict. I love to buy every nail polish, at every price even though I am pretty stuck on wearing certain colors. Last month I bought 7 colors and used zero of them. I wore what has become my staple orange, and then some black. I cringe at the price of most nail polishes these days, and I want to kick myself when I spend $30 for a bottle of something I may not use.

But last week I was at Walgreens getting my son some medicine when I saw the PERFECT orange! It was light enough to not look Halloween, and different from the other 4 oranges I had picked up over the last few months to catch my attention. So I picked it up, threw it in the cart and headed to the register.

I was totally caught off guard when I saw the that it rung up at 67¢! I don’t remember the last time I paid that little for anything. I went home and gave it a try and totally fell in love with it!

The light orange color almost has a sherbert feel to it. It’s soft, unexpected, and slightly transparent so two coats is required. The 67¢ polish has a decent brush– I actually like it more than some of the pricier versions because it is a little thinner than most brushes so didn’t get on my cuticles. It’s made by–Wet n’ Wild! Yup the ever so popular brand in the 90′s! I hadn’t picked anything up from this line since high school.

And what about its lasting power? It’s been no different than any other polish. Lasts really well for a few days and the it requires a redo. Nothing to scream from the rooftop, and nothing to cry to over either. Just a normal polish in terms of quality but a great color and a killer price.

You find the entire collection for only 67¢ at Walgreens but I recommend “Sunny Side Up” for this Spring and Summer!

    Awww…Wet ‘n Wild….takes me back to the 80s & early 90s! LoL! Great find for sure! Check them out on facebook because they have a page…a make-up guru friend of mine said that there is really no difference between Wet ‘n Wild & MAC ~ just the price! (GC)

    My daughter recently saw some pretty Chanel and other sparkly nail polish at Nordstrom, and wanted to go back and buy them all. I don’t mind buying them there if I’m in love with them, but I told her we could find a few more similar nail polishes she’d love elsewere and get a few more for the price of just one of those. This proves that! (GC)

Got something to say? Go for it!
