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.

China Glaze - Liquid Crystal

 Very pretty silver-blue metallicy glittery goodness!
 Shift blue to lavender to sorta silvery.
 This is three layers. I should have layered it over another color, because this was an absolute bear to remove!

Jessica - Smokey Feather



I thought this might be similar to anothe polish I already have, but then when I really looked at it, it has a lot of unique properties

There's grey and silver, but also flecks of pink in there. Very pretty!

 Irridescent Eye from Jessica's "Peacock Queen" Collection
 
Metallic golden-olivey-green color. Changes in the light or when angled to pure gold, or flashes of green, teal and yellow. Just beautiful!

Magnetix

I had just been talking with my husband about how magnetic polishes will be the next thing and pretty soon I'll be finding them in drugstores, then BAM! the next time I went to Rite Aid, look what I found?
For $7.99, it comes with two magnets. They are separate from the bottle, which I find a little annoying, because I just KNOW I will end up losing them.
The color selection wasn't fantastic. All the colors are silvery/metallicy colors, not very strongly pigmented. This one doesn't seem to have a name (or I lost it) but it applied very smooth and the wear was actually excellent.
It comes in its own box.



Drugstor Magnetic Polish!

Happy Hunger Games!

Smoke and Ashes from China Glaze's Hunger Games collection.
I can't remember the last time I was so excited to see a movie. I LOVE the Hunger Games trilogy. I even got my husband to read it and he loved it. The move looks like it's pretty faithful to the book and I ADORE Jennifer Lawrence, who was amazing in Winter's Bone. I needed to have a polish from this collection. Unfortunately none of the other colors appealed to me.
Smoke and Ashes is pretty amazing though. It's a very dark blackened tealish-green with glitterly flecks in it. Very cool.
