Product Review: Wet & Wild Megalast Nail- Private Viewing

This post contains affiliate links

Wet & Wild Megalast
“Private Viewing- 204B”

Spring its finally here and so are the many different kind of ‘spring’ and ‘summer’ nail polish shades at our local stores. 

I’ve been feeling out of sorts the last few weeks and when I saw this neutral (nude) shade at my local Rite Aid Pharmacy, it really called out to me. Today, I am reviewing another fantastic color by Wet & Wild Megalast-“Private Viewing- 204B” which I’ve been wearing for the last 8 days.


Their Claim:

·         A revolutionary resin polymer system for exceptional color adhesion
·         Calcium and mineral fortified to help prevent nail discoloration
·         3-Free: No Formaldehyde, Toluene, or Phthalates
·         Our ManiCurve Pro Brush is absolutely incredible - The rod is flat so the liquid drains down to the bristles equally, and the rounded bristles hug your nail curves perfectly

All the end results of going to the nail salon, but without the hassle. The driving, the sitting, the waiting, the forced small-talk, and especially the pricey manicurist bills - forget it! Looking salon pampered just got easier! These 5-day, chip-resistant formulas are just so darn great, delivering a professional, yet far more accessible, look. Ever wonder what actually makes a "salon" formula? Read the features!


Ingredients

Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Nitrocellulose, Phthalic Anhydride/Trimellitic Anhydride/Glycols Copolymer, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Adipic Acid/Fumaric Acid/Phthalic Acid/Tricyclodecane Dimethanol Copolymer, Dimethicone, Citric Acid, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Silica, Talc, [+/- (MAY CONTAIN/PEUT CONTENIR): Mica, Titanium Dioxide/CI 77891, Yellow 5 Lake/CI 19140, Iron Oxides/CI 77491, CI 77499, Manganese Violet/CI 77742, Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide/CI 77510, Ultramarines/CI 77007, Red 6 Lake/CI 15850, Red 7 Lake/CI 15850, Red 30 Lake/CI 73360, Red 36/CI 12085, Blue 1 Lake/CI 42090]



My Thoughts:

As I mentioned before, as soon as I saw this polish I felt the need to have it.  The “Manicurve Pro Brush” does make the application process easier as it covers the entire nail bed in just one stroke. 


In order to acquire the desire shade, I applied a total of three coats.  Please allow a few minutes to pass in between coats in order to reduce the length it would take for the polish to dry and it will also reduce the amount of air bubbles that may appear.


Pros:
 
The company claims that the polish may last up to five days before you start seeing any chipping on the tip of your nails. 
This polish actually lasted 8 days before I noticed it was time to re-do my manicure.

It was fairly easy to remove the polish from my nails;
The Pro Brush really makes the application easier and faster;
The low price it’s perfect for those (like yours truly) who have a very limited budget.

Cons:

Can’t really find anything wrong with this product at all!!

Sadly, I have to say that this color was not “Hubby Approved”.  He kindly told me that the color was too close to my skin tone.  But I think that’s what I like about it..

I loved this color and I will probably wear it more often during the spring and summer days.  The natural and glossy salon like finish was perfect and easy to accomplish.
Where to get it:

I found this little gem at my local Rite Aid Pharmacy or you can purchase it here:



Thank you for stopping by and stay tuned for our next nail polish review!

Have a great week!

SALE ALERT: SinfulColors Guise & Ghouls Glowing Masquerade


Hello everyone!!

    I've finally found the time to visit my local Walgreens and the timing was perfect! 

    I found that all the SinfulColor Guise & Ghouls Glowing Masquerade are finally on SALE for $1.99 each!!! 



In this collection you will find:

* Cloak & Swagger
* Play Dead
*Nice Guise
*Deja Boo
*Hazel Moon
*Got a Bat Attitude
*Dead On
*Glow In The Dark Top Coat
*Let's Talk
*Courtney Orage
*Black on Black

*Where Oh Werewolf


I picked the Glow in the Dark for Ms. Bree and she is going to love it!!  Yes, my daughter loves nail polishes as much as I do.  (maybe more than me)

 The Glow In The Dark polish is a top coat and it promises to really get things "glowing".


I picked the above colors for me.  Unfortunately, Courtney Orange was not available but I was able to grab Cloud 9 at the same price.  Cloud 9 seems to be a bit lighter and brighter than Courtney Orange. 

If you have a Walgreens Rewards Card then don't forget to use it, instead of paying $1.99, you will only pay $1.50!!  
Stay tuned because I will be doing my own manicure and I will be using Cloud 9 together with Black on Black topped with a few accent stickers!

"Thimbleberry" by Sinful Colors Professional

Welcome back my beauties!! 

I hope everyone is having a good week so far.  We are definitely staying busy around here with only 32 days left of school!!  

Baseball season ends on May 9th, Ms. Bree is having her recital on May 21st then our family vacation! I am looking forward to that time at the Beach!!!!

After the beautiful teal color nail polish from last week ("Savage"), today I'm bringing to you "Thimbleberry-108".  This is also by Sinful Colors Professional.  (I just love the $1.99 price on these nail polishes)


Thimbleberry is a prefect "spring color", it has that vibrant dark pink "coral" finish to it.  The more coats you apply, the brighter the final color is.

One of our loyal readers commented on our Facebook page: "Gina H-S" I have this one!! It works on all skin tones!! It's my go to spring/summer color!


Thimbleberry is a prefect "spring color", it has that vibrant dark pink "coral" finish to it.  The more coats you apply, the brighter the final color will be.  

It also has a shiny look to it once it's completely dried but I always recommend the use of a base and top coat.  In my opinion, using a base coat gives the nail polish an even look and the top coat will allow the nail polish last longer.


Another of our loyal readers commented on our Facebook page: Christeena C-M W: My son picked that exact color out for me <3.

I personally love this color! Share your thoughts?
