I have a bunch of polish from Wet N Wild's new Spoiled collection, but this is the first time I have used one. What a slacker, huh? I've used the one glitter I have from this collection, but the polishes have just been sitting in my polish cabinet, eyeing me, begging to be worn. This one kept jumping out at me, so I finally gave in. But, I just had to give it a little something something, and since I have been seeing jelly sandwich manis all over (especially orange, I dunno why Orange jellies are so popular for jelly sandwiches, but I can't talk. I'm guilty too!), and since I have never shown one, I decided I would try one in this color.
I chose Spoiled by Wet N Wild in Jailbait, a lovely bright orange jelly, and paired it with Milani Jewel FX in Gems. Not a combination I would normally use, but I wanted something that would stand out under Jailbait. I plan on using this agan for a more subtle jelly sandwich, but this time around I wanted something loud! And this is loud! I had forgotten how Gems isn't one of those glitters that only leaves a couple flecks on your nails - oh no, this baby is loaded down with tons of multi-colored hex and round glitter. I hadn't intended to load up the glitter so much, but hey, it just made it that much more interesting in person. I really dig how the green in the glitter stands out against the orange of Jailbait. This mani just screams "Hello World! I don't want to match today!". ;)
All photos taken in my lightbox. This was a tough color to capture. It is much more vibrant in person.
I don't know why I loved this mani so much, technically it's kind of a hot mess! But alas! I loved how much the glitter stood out, and it got alot of compliments despite not really matching. My first choice for glitter would've been Milani's Gold Jewel FX, but another blogger recently posted an Orange jelly sandwich using that glitter and I didn't want to dupe her mani (hers *is* much better though!), so I opted for colorful and out there instead.
About Jailbait: Man, I love the colors in the Spoiled Collection. I really do. They're not all original or amazing, but they are pretty and the polish itself is nice. But....and I'm sure you know what's coming here...the brush!! OMG, the brush on these is a &^%##*&@ nightmare! It looks as if they were going for a wide, pro brush. Instead they gave us a fluffy, semi-rounded, jagged mess. I had no control over where the polish went, and it was hell trying to get less than a pound of polish per nail on that thing. I would've had more control using my dog's tail to polish with. I really want to use my other Spoiled colors, but I may have to use a different brush. Otherwise they may just sit there on their shelf, lonely and unloved. Wear on this polish wasn't as bad as I had expected for a cheaper polish; I wore this for a few days and didn't have a single chip and only minimal tip wear on one nail. Formula was smooth and squishy, but since this jelly is neon, the finish was plastic-like. Dry time was pretty slow as well, so I definitely recommend a good top coat with this one.
Hope you guys are enjoying your weekend!! I'm doing 2 manis for one of the local high schools winter ball dances today. Hopefully I'll be able to show those to you guys soon!
Happy polishing!
