Wet-n-Wild "No Gas, Electrically Charged" Magnetic, with display photo!

I actually bought this one first and went back for the other one.

As you can see, I had a little trouble with the magnet. There's no finger guard, and it's a little awkward to get the finger placement just right.

This color is bangin' in real life. I realize it just looks sort of blackish-grey here.

But it was more like a blackened tealish color. Reminded me a little of the WnW Craze color "morbid" from a few years back.

The name is a little absurd, but cute.

$4.99 at Rite Aid which is the only place I have seen these so far.

Wet-n-Wild Drawn together by Force *Magnetic!*

 How pretty is this bright emerald green?

 I did a better job with the magnet this time. The formula on these polishes is fantastic.

 I love the little square bottle. The brush is perfect.

 My ONLY complaint is the magnet. It sucks. It's awkward to use and there is no finger guard to make sure you don't touch it to your nails. Otherwise, I'd have to say this is one of the better magnetic polishes out there right now.

I found these at Rite Aid for $4.99

 Wet-n-Wild, fastdry in "Teal of Fortune."

vs.

Orly - "Halley's Comet."

 I don't even have to look at my notes to label these.

Index and Ring: Teal of Fortune

Middle and Pinky: Halley's Comet

 

Halley’s Comet is a really pretty bluish-turquoise glittery almost foil like duochrome with a bit of green. A perfect “mermaid skin” color. Apparently Zoya’s “Charla” and O.P.I.’s “Catch Me in Your Net” are very close dupes. But, I don’t have either of those, so I am comparing it to Wet-n-Wild’s “Teal of Fortune”.

Results: They’re not all that close. Halley’s Comet absolutely blows the other one out of the water in terms of glittery goodness. The W-n-W is also quite sheer and runny. Plus, that damn brush is awful to use! But, I appreciate W-n-W trying so hard to copy the coolest colors out there. "Teal of Fortune" is a bit darker, less sparkly and more green than Halley's Comet, but they are pretty close.

This is all over a coat of Kleancolor “Retro Green” by the way.  J

Verdict: Not dupes

If I HAD to get rid of one: Wet-n-Wild goes.

 Wet-n-Wild "Blue Wants to be a Millionaire"

Milani 3D Holographic in "Cyberspace"

 This is two coats of each over a layer of navy blue.

 Index and Ring: Cyberspace (definitely more opaque than the WnW)
Middle and Pinky: Blue Wants to be a Millionaire
The Wet n Wild is really thin, but more holo. Cyberspace is more blue-silver, denser but less holo.

Verdict: Not dupes
If I had to get rid of one: Brace yourselves folks, I'd probably get rid of both! What!? Shocking right? But, neither of them are as holo as I NEED them to be.

One of these is not like the others...

 I've been wanting to do this comp for awhile now. For some reason I tossed in the Spa Ritual even though it's not really like the others. But it's a silvery-grey that shifts a little bit purple.

Index Finger: Opulent Cloud
Middle Finger: OPI - Not Like the Movies
Ring Finger: Wet-n-Wild - Gray's Anatomy
Pinky: Spa Ritual - Sacred Ground

 Good golly, I forgot how freaking amazing Opulent Cloud is! It's so pretty! Sacred Ground is reather awesome too. Gray's Anatomy and Not Like the Movies are very similar except the OPI had some silver glitter? particles. While I was swatching these, I remembered I had ONE MORE that was similar to these and went and dug out Lippman - Wicked Game.

Compare:

Index: Gray's Anatomy
Middle: Not Like the Movies
Ring: Wicked Game
Pinky: Gray's Anatomy

 Gray's and WG are both very, bery thin and sheer. This is about four coats of each. Honestly, they are indistinguishable from each other.

Verdict: If you missed out on Wicked Game, pick up Gray's Anatomy (if you can still find it) it's the same thing.

If I had to get rid of one: Gray's Anatomy, the brush is big and really annoying, plus the bottle is ugly.

Minty Fresh Comps

China Glaze "For Audrey" vs. Zoya "Wednesday" vs. Wet-n-Wild "I Need a Refresh-Mint"

Pointer Finger: For Audrey

Middle Finger: Wednesday

Ring Finger: I Need A Refresh-Mint

Pinky: For Audrey

 The picture makes For Audrey and Refreshmint, look closer than they actually are in real life. Wednesday is a a bit dusky blue/green.

For Audrey leans more blue while the Wet-n-Wild leans more minty green. Wednesday isn't a dupe for either of them.

Verdict: I need all three.
If I had to get rid of one: Wet-n-Wild, because the brush is horrific!

While I was comping these, it occurred to me that the Zoya might be a dupe for Misa's "Dirty Sexy Money" so I went and dug out my bottle of it which I haven't seen in probably two years. It needed some shaking, that's for sure.

Pointer and Ring: "Dirty, Sexy, Money"

Middle and Pinky: Zoya "Wednesday"

 Definitely not dupes either. The Misa is quite a bit darker.

Verdict: Love them both.
If I had to get rid of one: Misa, the formula is sucky and it takes forever to dry.

Wet-n-Wild Born into Privilege

 One coat of Rimmel Rags to Riches under two coats of Wet-n-Wild Born Into Privilege from the Wet-n-Wild Coloricon Be Jeweled Nail Lacquer Collection

I love, love, love this mossy greey mega glitter look!

Born Into Privilege is a light green glitter with gold, green, blueish-green and silver small glitter pieces with small and mediumish hex and round glitters in various colors. It shifts from gold to green.

Wet-n-Wild Coloricon Jewels for Your Highness

 This is two coats over a coat of essie lilacism.

I know the Wet-n-Wild Coloricon Be Jeweled Nail Lacquer Collection is supposed to be dupes of the China Glaze Prismatic Chroma Glitter collection, and I have to say in my opinion, they hit it out of the park.  I only have one of the China Glaze polishes, but I think these compare quite well. My only complaint is they were hard to find. I had to travel to quite a few different Rite Aids before I found them and even then it was hard to find all the colors!

 

Price is high for such a tiny bottle of W-n-W polish ($2.99) but totally worth it. This wears great. Like most glitters it was a pain to remove.
