Drugstore Gems: Wet N Wild

Yes, I like my salon brands like OPI and Essie but well, nail polish obsession doesn't have to be an expensive habit. There are plenty of great drugstore brands out there. Previously, I mentioned Black Radiance and Sinful Colors, but Wet n Wild has great color selections and their cheapest polish is 99 cents! It's really a great deal. Not only that, their polish is definitely the best cheap polish you can get (sorry NYC, I'll point out your minor flaws a bit later). WnW Black Creme is my resident favorite pure black polish because it's opaque in one coat and so cheap, which makes it great for frankens too.

Dreamy Poppy is another standout, a bright pink color that's fun and great for summer. I used to not like straight cremes but they've really grown on me


Talk about getting your bang for a buck!

I think this is the fastest that I've ever edited pictures and gotten a post up lol (within 20 minutes). It usually takes me a while because I'm very easily distracted. I had to get up early today to take one of my roommates to school because he's going to be carless for a while, and I'm sitting with my chem book open while listening to another roommate play on a PS2. But the main reason I wanted to post fast is because I have another midterm this Thursday, which means I really only have today to justify a bunch of posts. Anything past today is a bit shameful because I'm obviously procrastinating! I do have a ton of swatch pics still to edit so today might be super megapost day

Drugstore Gems: Sinful Colors

*special shout-out to my friend Jennifer (mzprec1ouz on MUA) for letting me flip through her gorgeous pictures and using them! I'll be using a lot from her because she's so awesome!*

So....are you a nail polish snob? I know that not all nail polishes are created equally, but I do think that drugstore polishes can also be really great. Take, for example, Sinful Colors nail polish. This brand can be found at Walgreens for $1.99, or at local beauty supplies for around the same price. It's also available to order online at www.sinfulcolors.com. If you do find it at a local beauty supply, I wouldn't pay more than $2.50 for it because that's how much it costs per bottle on the website. It has a reputation of being thick and difficult, but it's nothing a little ballz and thinner can't solve. If you're patient, I think that Sinful is definitely one of those low-end polishes worth investing in. They wear well and have really good selection for a drugstore brand. Check out some of their great colors:
