Wet Suit
Wet Suit is a sky blue creme.
Color: This was one of two colors I picked up out of this collection. What I liked about this shade is just a teeny bit muted. It is a brighter color, but it has softness to it as well. I love this shade a blue. I'm betting there are similar colors out there though.
Formula: Someone forewarned me when I purchased these that they were not a fan of the formula. When I started applying this I had no idea what they were talking about. The first few nails, this applied so nicely. This changed the more I used this formula. The formula became goopy and tacky. This made it difficult for the polish to dry between coats, and caused self leveling issues. I did add a few drop of thinner in between uses. This helped, but what a strange, fake out formula. I was ready to talk about how awesome the formula was, and it let me down. I'm *thinking* maybe too much exposure to air changed it? I don't mean letting it sit out with the cap off either. I just mean in the time frame of using it to paint my nails.
Price: I found this in the $2-$3 range at CVS. This collection is limited edition, so if you're interested go on the hunt for it now.
Overall: I really loved this shade of blue, but that was overshadowed by its baffling formula. I don't get it. This didn't turn this into a terrible polish at all, but it definitely was a let down.
My Rating: 3 out of 5 Paint Splatters
Happy Monday!
Very pretty color. Too bad the formula is wacky.
ReplyDeleteWeird that it changed like that! I've had a few do that. Too bad, as it is a really pretty color.
ReplyDeleteIts such a pretty light blue but too bad to hear the formula wasn't good.
ReplyDeleteI really can't stand bad formulas. It's such a let down especially when you have a pretty color like this one.
ReplyDeleteI picked up 3 from this collection (not this one) I have only tried Floaties and I foresee it becoming thick too
ReplyDeleteMan it really sucks that you had so much trouble with it cause it's really a great shade. I didn't have any trouble with the one I received so I must have gotten lucky.
ReplyDeleteVery strange about the formula!
ReplyDeleteThnaks, it's ok it happens.
ReplyDeleteIt was weird and unexpected since it started out so nice!
ReplyDeleteToo bad for sure!
ReplyDeleteAgree. They are huge let downs.
ReplyDeleteThinner really helped keep it a nice consistently. It's definitely annoying to have add that midway through painting your nails, I know, but it does make it work.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you didn't have trouble!
ReplyDeleteI know, so disappointing too, it was so nice at first!
ReplyDeleteI love this colour! Such a shame it gets thick so soon:( You applied perfectly tho.
ReplyDeleteI'm your new follower:D I like your blog. It's really funXD
I have a few creme polishes that do this, and a couple indie glitters, too. I have several similar shades, so I'll probably pass on this... maybe. I'm a sucker for light blues lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for following! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you have similar shades. I know I do, but I'm sucker for the light blues too! You're not missing out though.
