I took a day off from posting. I spent the day at the headbanger's ball, hiding in the dark and quiet. Blech. I hate days like that. :P
A while ago, I bought this polish on clearance at CVS. It was fifty percent off so it came in at a little less than a dollar. I am thinking that it was only worth about that, to be honest. Under Your Spell is a blackened jelly base with a dark burgundy shimmer that doesn't much show indoors but fires in the sun. I had to apply three coats to try to get the bottle colour onto my nails. This polish is so shiny that I didn't need top coat.
These photographs were shot out in the sun.
Pretty-ish enough, I suppose. Nothing that fires my imagination. The formula of this polish is nice enough. It behaved well tho it was streaky as hell on the first coat, a little better on the second and was opaque and extremely shiny on the third. There was no dragging, clotting or bubbling. Too bad the brush was the usual Wet-N-Wild crap rat chewed brush. I don't much know about dry time, as I got this off the moment I took my photographs. Meh. I think that this is going in the Get Rid of It box.
I know that I have been bagging on Wet-N-Wild polishes, lately. While I am kind of over the moon for their glitters, their nasty brushes don't matter all that much with glitters, I am kind of tired of battling the bad for their cremes, shimmers and jellies. I think that, unless it is a very special glitter, I am going to pass on Wet-N-Wild for a while. I still have a few hanging around in my untrieds that need a whirl so I am not finished with them, quite yet.
Okay, so... I think that is about it, for this one.
Thank you for popping in. Have a great day and may your polish never bubble.
This is from the line they recently redid right? I I really do appreciate the new formula!
ReplyDeleteI like it!

ReplyDeleteLooks great in the sun. I'm glad your headache has subsided. Yeah, I get tired of dealing with polishes that just aren't anywhere near as good as other brands. Then there are others that I love the colors, formula, brushes, dry-speed, self-leveling, and just have such a pleasant experience with it (but it chips on 3 nails in 2 days). Hmm, I'm going to go put one of those on next. Okay, so what color will you wear next? Ready for neons? I don't think I've seen a neon on your nails recently - hint, hint :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read this I was thinking "Cool I used to LOVE the Headbanger's ball" Then I realized you meant a headache migraine! I get those often as well! Glad you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if anyone would get the reference. heh heh Thank you for your well wishes. My head is back down to a Cat 3 and I can function, again. :D
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you are a fellow migraineur. It sucks, doesn't it?
I'll see what I can do. I have some neons just a waiting for swatch time. :D
ReplyDeleteReally? Are you in the U.S.? Would you like to have it? If so, e-mail me. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, this line was recently clearanced out and revamped. I did a review of three polishes from the "new" line. Nice polish. Horrid, horrid brushes. I returned them.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty, especially in direct sun. I have a couple of polishes that are very similar and have much better brushes. :)
ReplyDeleteI have this color and have not tried it. I picked it up for less than a dollar as well. It looks really cute on you tho! :D
