Wet n Wild Wild Orchid

        Yesterday, for like the millionth time, I accidentally scratched someone. I really want long nails, but I clearly don't know how to control them, because I always scratch the hell out of myself and everyone around me. In frustration, I filed down my nails (wayyy more than I meant to) and it made me sad. To cheer myself up, I put on Wet n Wild Wild Orchid. 

Wild Orchid is a ton of small, square holographic and silver glitter, floating in a deep violet jelly base. There's also some electric blue shimmer running around in there. 


Sunlight, no flash.


Natural light, no flash.

     Wild Orchid is such a pretty color. With the holo glitter, the base color, and the blue shimmer, it's like if Sally Hansen Grape Going and China Glaze Fairy Dust had a baby! And it was only a dollar, which kind of makes it even better-looking lol. 
      However, Wild Orchid's formula was a bit annoying. It needed four coats of color for full opacity and depth, and it looked kind of rough without topcoat because of the glitter. On the upside, it dried pretty quickly and that made up for the four coat thing. 
     
And completely unrelated to this polish, E.L.F. is having a 70% off sale, starting from 1:00 PM EST and going until 2:10 PM EST. This is big because they made the maximum discount $100, instead of their regular $7.50. 
The discount code is 70FOR70, so if you want to try E.L.F. or need to stock up on favorites, there ya go!

And that's all from me today! Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
P.S. I know that I mentioned possibly having some good news, but that didn't happen. Soon though, I promise! ^_^

Thanks!!
I've been loving them too, especially their eyeshadow palettes!
This polish is absolutely beautiful. What have you done to your nails?? They look so strong and healthy not that they didn't before just exceptional now. I must pull out this polish out of my untrieds :)

Aw thanks!!
That's such a big compliment coming from you...you're like one of my nail idols lol.
But I haven't been doing much to them at all. In April-ish, I switched to using Sally Hansen Hard as Nails as a base coat, and made more of an effort to moisturize my nails with Vitamin E Oil.
I don't think my nails are where I'd like for them to be, in terms of strength, but I've definitely seen an improvement.
Is this a core polish? If so, I need it! lol

You know, I don't think it is.
Wild Orchid was discontinued, but there was a re-release of it last year...Midnight, I think it was called. It was also limited edition, so I don't think it's in stores either. But you can probably find some bottles up for swap on MUA.

Just about....lol. But they ended up extending it. For how long I don't know...
Yeah, I got that email too...all these emails making me mad. -____-
I don't remember if I have seen this lately so I don't know if it is still available, but man-oh-man do I LOVE this color!! One of my all-time favorite Wet N Wilds!

I actually don't remember seeing it recently either...I don't even remember where I got it from in the first place. Half of my brain thinks I got it in a bargain bin in Rite Aid and the other half thinks I got it from a blog sale. smh.
But I totally understand why it would be one of your favorites..it's really pretty! n_n

AND....SUPERFAST SHIPPING!! I got mine in the mail yesterday!
O.O
Woahh. That is fast.
I can't wait to see it on you!
Wow, that's an awesome colour! And I know what you mean with too long nails. I can't have them too long, because then I scratch myself and especially my BF suffers a lot, lol. ;) Now i cut them almost completely, but they grow fast.

Ahahaha omg. I have no boyfriend to suffer, but I'm always messing with my siblings and they're always trying to extort stuff out of me by pointing to their various wounds/scratches and being like "BUT LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY ARM/LEG/WHATEVER BODY PART". -____-

And you're lucky that your nails grow fast!! Mine grow sooo slowww. :(
oh yes I do love this one and in these situations layering is my friend. I kinda want to franken this one up with more of the holo goodness.
My recent post Is it 4th of July yet?
1 reply · active 716 weeks ago
Yes indeed...I bet this would look great over a dark blue. Or even a bright blue.
And frankening it more holo is also a good idea...you can never go wrong with moah holo. :D
