Wet'n'Wild Fergie Line Swatches: Glamorous, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Mountain High

The other day I slammed my hand in the door and have this big ugly bruise under my nail.  It'll grow out but all it can do is grow up meaning I won't be wearing sheer nail polish for a loooong time.  I put acrylics on for about a week but it was still so visible that it made no difference.  Now, my nails and skin have to recover from the acrylics (you'll see they are so wrecked right now!!)  Total first world problem.  Anywho...

These are the last of my Fergie polishes.   I swatched these over bare nails and black (and white for Mountain High) so that you may see the differences.

 RIP Acrylics :( :( :( :( :( 

Glamour and Hollywood Walk of Fame

Everyone who has ever read a blog reviewing Hollywood Walk of Fame knows that this polish is a pain in the ass.  It's pretty (rainbow stars!!) and Fergie has a pretty good formula but ugh.  After a few hours the points of the stars will start to lift, no matter how much top coat you put on, and you will be scratching your face up and ripping holes in your pretty silk shirts.  Still, fun for a night of wear!

Mountain High

Mountain High is gorgeous in the bottle.  Not so much on the nails. It's just too sheer so you have to put it over another color and the iridescent flakes don't pop.  This one doesn't do it for me.  I love the color in the bottle and the idea of it.. it just doesn't translate well in real life.

I got sucked into the Christmas and New Year's sales... there'll be some *cough millions cough* of polishes coming up.

Wet'n'Wild Fergie Line Swatches: Emerald Rock City, Caribbean Coral, Ferga-colada

Today I have three more Fergie Line swatches for you!  This new camera is great, however, it's so crisp that you can see how dry my hands really are - jeez!

Emerald Rock City

Emerald Rock City is a pretty hunter green with silver shimmer running throughout.  This had a great formula and a 2 coater.  

Caribbean Coral

Caribbean Coral is a coral based pink (or the reverse depending on lighting!).  This is very neon and, therefore, my favorite of this bunch. (The second picture is with flash)

Ferga-colada 

Ferga-colada is between a light and medium yellow creme.  Pretty good formula for a yellow I must say!

Next up: Fergie's No Place Like Home, Rock N' Roll and Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night.

Wet'n'Wild Fergie Line Swatches: Dutchess, Blue Eyed Soul, Miami Spirit

Well, I'm back!  I got a new camera for the holidays and I'm still learning how to use it, so get ready for some different looking pics!  I'd love to swatch the Wet'n'Wild Fergie line for you all.  I don't have all of them but I do have quite a few.  They are so inexpensive and the colors/glitters are pretty unique for it being a drugstore brand.  I, also, love the big wide brush.

Dutchess

Dutchess has various small sized blue and purple glitter in a clear base.  This one has a nice formula for application but it's just too sheer to be opaque on it's own (unless you want to have tons of coats on your nail!).  The first picture is 4 coats alone.  I did 2 coats in the other two pictures (except over black, that's one coat) and I think it would take at least 5 to be opaque.  It dries semi matte so it lacks that oomph needed in the pics. It's a very pretty topper though.  I should've swatched it over blue - that looks so nice.

Blue Eyed Soul

Blue Eyed Soul has such a great formula.  Blue Eyed Soul is a one to two coater navy blue metallic.  I don't think I have any blues like this in my collection!  I could swear I see a purple duochrome in there but maybe I am seeing what I want to see.

Miami Spirit

Miami Spirit - you either really like it or you feel meh about it.  It doesn't photograph accurately for me so I'll do my best to describe it.  Miami Spirit dries semi matte and it's a little bit more of a yellow based green than what the pictures are showing.  Good formula and could, also, be a one coater.

More coming up!

Zoya Greens.. and an orange! Zoya Chita, Ivanka, Dillon and Cole

Finally, the last of my Zoya collection.  Here we have the greens and an orange:

Chita

Chita is described as:

a forest green in a matte, textured, sparkling finish.

Ivanka

I love Ivanka.  It reminds me of a mermaid! Ivanka is described as:

a sparkling emerald green metallic. This luxurious mermaid green has a darker, forest green base with a hint of emerald and gold glitter!

Dillon

Dillon is describe as:

a full-coverage, green mint metallic with a silver shimmer. Top with 1-2 coats of special effect topper, Zoya Monet, for a fun accent!

Cole

Wow, this makes me look like an oompa loompa.  Not in person, but on camera.  Yikes.  Still love it in person though!  It's much more pastel and my camera is picking it up as a neon. Cole is described as:

a full-coverage peach whisper cream (originally released during NYFW as Stella for Peter Som SS14 Collection). Top with 1-2 coats of special effect topper, Zoya Monet, for a fun accent!

Zoya Golds and Nudes! Zoya Severine, Charlott, Godiva, Hermina and Jacqueline

Today I have some Zoya golds and nudes for you:

Severine 

Severine was part of a promotion last year so it is not on the website.  It's a metallic gold with a pretty good formula and, surprisingly, barely streaky.

Charlott 

Charlott was, also, part of the same promotion.  It's an off white creme.  Here it looks a bit darker, almost a tan.  In person this is more of an off white.  This was two coats but I recommend three to get rid of some of the small bald patches.

Godiva 

Godiva is described as:

a soft nude with a sugared sparkle, in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Matte Sparkle formula.

Hermina 

My favorite! Hermina is described as:

a pale golden-beige frost with silvery metallic highlight. Great for a nude metallic nail look.

Jacqueline

Jacqueline is describe as:

a full-coverage, perfect magnolia nude cream. This light creamy beige has slight warm undertones and a glossy creme finish. Originally created as a custom runway shade for fashion designer Peter Som.

Up next: Zoya Greens and an orange (so random, I know)!  Also, the last of the Zoya's, phew!

Zoya Black's and a Grey! Zoya Storm, Imogen, Anais and London

On to Black and Grey Zoya's:

Storm

Storm is described as: 

a full coverage, holiday black with a high concentration of micro fine diamond holographic glitter. Storm is elegant, powerful and versatile 

Imogen

Imogen is described as: 

a black crystal Magical PixieDust with holographic hex glitter, the perfect complement to a brighter shade or an accent for nail art. 

Anais

Anais is not on the website as it was part of a promo last year but it's a brown black with a very mild olive duochrome that does not transfer to the nail. It is a bit sheer and took 3 coats to look like this.   

London

London is described as:

a fog gray with a sugared sparkle, in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Matte Sparkle formula.

Next up, golds and nudes (wink wink)!

Zoya Blues! Zoya Liberty, Nori, Blu and Robyn

Sorry for the long absence!  Life got in the way.. between moving (keyword: trying), vacation and many pet ophthalmologist visits for my old girl, I simply had no time to post.  Please excuse my lobster monster fingers - I don't tan, I get very red (crab people, crab people)!

So, without further delay, Zoya blues!

Liberty

Liberty is described as:

 a blue sugary sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Textured, Matte, Sparkle formula.

Nori

Nori is described as:

 a sapphire blue MagicalPixieDust with holographic hex glitter, perfect for any holiday festivity!

Blue

Blu is described as:

a full-coverage, soft and delicate pale baby blue with a glossy creme finish. A dreamy, calming blue that's both fun and flattering on the nails.

Robyn

 Robyn is described as:

the perfect turquoise cream.

 I think it may be time for a new camera!
