Wet N' Wild has recently released a 2012 collection which consists of everything from liquid liners, lip products, bronzers, and nail polish. The nail polishes stuck out the most to me, since the packaging was different than their usual polishes. I picked up 4 out of 9 of them:
I Need A Refreshment: an aqua blue
Bite The Bullet: a mauve-y purple
On A Trip: a mid-tone purple
Sugar Coat: a light pink
The other shades consist of a red, hot pink, gray, dark purple, and a dusty pink.
Packaging: Wet N' Wild has changed the packaging of their Megalast Nail Polishes this time around and I personally prefer them over the previous packaging, which was very cheap looking to me. They are now in a classy looking glass bottle which feel more durable and high-end. The only downfall to the packaging, is the applicator. It is HUGE. To me, the size of it is very intimidating and unnecessary. Yes, it does take less time to paint your nails with them since it covers almost your whole nail in one swipe, but it's wider than my pinky nail, which makes it hard not to get it on your skin while applying.
Consistency: I only own one of their old polishes, but from what I have seen in other reviews is that the formula has improved. It is very creamy and not streaky at all, not even with Sugar Coat (the light pink polish) which is surprising because I always have this problem with light colored polishes. 2 Coats is all you need!
Lasting Power: Wet N' Wild claims that these provide '5 days of long lasting, chip-resistant wear'. I haven't worn these for that long yet, but I wouldn't put them past them. I've worn them for up to two days before taking it off myself and it held up very well.
Price: For the amazing quality of these nail polishes, it's hard to believe that they are only $1.99! It's such a steal. That means you could own the entire collection of all 9 nail polishes for under $20!

Applicators compared: (left to right) Essie, Wet N' Wild MegaLast, OPI
PROS: Packaging, Formula, Opaque Coverage, Very Affordable
CONS: Huge Applicator
I love these! I think Wet N' Wild did a great job revamping their nail polishes to be more attractive and provide great quality. If you're ever in your local Walgreens or CVS, I definitely recommend giving them a try. If you already picked some up, let me know what you think in the comments below!
ENJOY!

thanks so much for this review! I saw them today at walgreens and didnt know whether to buy some or not. The brush is def intimidating. When i checked it out at the store, i put the polish back to the shelf :/ But i LOVE the aqua color so i needa have it! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely get them- They're amazing, especially for the price!
ReplyDeleteI actually went to another Walgreens than the one I purchased these at, and they had 9 more shades than the 9 I originally saw!
So there's really 18 shades :)
I got 3 of them and the brush gives an amazing application! Thanks for making me try them! :D My local walgreens doesnt carry all of them tho :( Ill def go to another!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, darlin' :) glad you like them!
DeleteLove these nail polishes. They are awesome! I'm actually sitting in the car in the parking lot of walgreens and I had to google swtaches of On A Trip to decide whether to get it and now I'm DEFINITELY going to get it. But unlike you, I view the wide brush as a PRO rather than a con (I have wide & long nail beds) and find it to work great on my nails better than the skinny Essie brushes. The price can't be beat either. $1.99 and walgreens sometimes puts them on sale for $0.99! I also have the Refresh-Mint & Sugar Coat and also love them as well! :)
ReplyDeleteI really love wet n wild megalast. I like the new wide brush. It's comfortable to use. The speed in drying is fantastic. I can use it on my 2 year old grand daughter and it dries fast enough to not get smudged before she runs off. I hope there will be more colors come out. I'd like a light and a royal blue, and a clear topcoat with the applicator. The price is super too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI've come to really enjoythe applicator. I find it so much easier to use and makes the whole process go by faster. And I agree, I'd love to see a royal blue as well as some pastel shades! I can't believe how great these polishes are for the price. Hopefully theyll make more shades!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading!
