Wet N Wild 'Craze' nail polish review

Ugh. I totally know what you're thinking... Wet N Wild??? Really??? Yes, I know but seriously, some of their new products are DEFINITELY worth checking out. Typically, when I think of Wet N Wild I think of broken eyeshadow palettes and middle school... *shudders*

Well... not anymore!

I've been hearing some wonderful things on the MUA boards about WnW's Creme Liner and Craze nail polishes. I already have the creme eyeliner, and it is AWESOME. It's a great, cheap alternative to Fluidline and in my opinion, lasts longer. I even went swimming in my friend's pool with this stuff on and one hour later, it was still as perfect as when I had applied it! Did I mention it was only $3.99????

Back to the Craze polishes...
These are really high quality nail polishes and cost just under $2.00 each at my local Walgreen's. The best part was that Walgreens is having BOGO this week! A high quality nail polish for $1.00??? That's like so much better than those dumb mini bon bon polishes you see at Walmart! LOL. I picked up two for me and two for my sister. There were only nine shades to choose from but I happened to find two that I REALLY ended up liking.

I got...

Morbid (L) and Shield (R)


Morbid was the one that drew my attention out of the bunch. I'm a huge fan of vampy shades and this was the perfect dark forest green my collection was missing! It has very fine shimmer particles of green and gold. The color is so opaque, I could even pull off using just one coat.

Shield is a pewter-taupe. A very unique shade and reminds me of OPI's You Don't Know Jaques! mixed with a gold metallic sheen. I'd love to see this color as an eyeshadow, it reminds me of MAC's Smoke N Diamonds. I tried one layer on top of the OPI polish and it looked very soft, pretty and sophisticated.

I love that both shades have that fine shimmer. It gives the polish a lot more dimension and makes them look more interesting.

In this picture, I used 2 coats of Morbid and drew 2 slanted line designs on each nail with gold glitter nailpolish. It was hard to capture on camera because the sparkles reflected so much light and took over the rest of the picture...



So here's a little rundown of the polishes I bought.

Pros:
-SUPER cheap!!
-Great staying power (1 week w/o chipping)
-beautiful metallic sheen
-nice, opaque formula

Cons:
-Brush is short, kinda hard to see what you're doing
-limited color selection

Check these out next time you're at your local drugstore, they're a total steal!!

  5. April- thanks! I like to pop over by the WnW sometimes and get a few things to try out each time cause it's so cheap!

    Kate- The new products they've just come out with are impressive!

    Callie- Aww thanks so much. This means a lot to me. I just turned down a company's offer to review one of their products because I really want to build up my credibility as a blogger before I start reviewing stuff. I don't want people to get the wrong message and think I'm just advertising. It's a conflict of interest and I'm so glad you wrote that you can trust me reviews :)

    Pop Champagne- Please do! You won't regret it!
