Wet N Wild Fergie Collection: Going Platinum

Hi ladies! I know, I know. I'm still updating weekly. Lemme tell ya, I didn't expect to get this busy. I'm currently trying to get my daughter ready for camp, which means lots of paperwork, shopping, and doctor's appointments, as well as work, my whirlwind of a toddler, and a new car. Well, a new to us car, anyway! It's actually pretty cool, and was a gift from my in-laws. We've been a 1 vehicle family for a long time, and hubs really needed to be able to get to and from work without having me drive him so I would have a way to get around during the day, hence the new vehicle. That took a good chunk of our time, so my blogging plans had to be put on hold. Now add going back down to super nubbins due to yet another broken nail (door handle this time! ugh!), and you have a bad recipe for nail blogging anyway! I can't promise that I'll post as often over the next week or so while I'm getting Kalli ready for camp, but I do try to post at least once a week so you guys know I'm still alive. Hopefully I'll be back to my usual every other day schedule in about a week.

Today I have a very cool polish to share with you guys! I came across the new Wet N Wild Fergie display at Walgreens awhile back, and over the past few weeks have managed to pick up 5 of them. The first one I picked up was Going Platinum, a very cool silver metallic/foil with gold flakes. Let me tell you, wearing this was like having platinum on my nails! Sometimes it was blinding! The gold flakes made it even more awesome (I swear the silver reflects the gold in some lights which made the base color look almost like a champagne color!), and I spent a good amount of time staring at my nails. This girl was hard to photograph, mostly because it really reflects light, so the finish tends to wash out. I'll apologize in advance for the really odd shaped index fingernail. I think I must've been filing in the dark or something. ;)

Details:
1 coat Seche Recondition
2 coats Going Platinum
1 coat Seche Vite

 
Isn't that just a really cool polish? Love it! Wet N Wild's Fergie Collection has a ton of awesome polish.  There are a few more that I really want to pick up. If you haven't seen the glitters in this line, you really should check them out. Very cool. I have a few to show you guys soon!

Formula:
I was very impressed with the formula on this baby. I have only met a couple of Wet N Wild polishes that I wasn't happy with formula wise, and this is not included. Perfect consistency, No issues with streaking or dragging (despite the metallic finish!). This polish could be opaque at 1 coat, but I can't seem to ever use a single coat of polish.

Application:
Very smooth application. Like I mentioned before, no streaking or dragging, no bubbling. This girl went on like butter! The brush is a much improved version of the spoiled brush - it's flat and wide. Unlike the Spoiled brush though, this one is actually usable. It fanned out nicely and wasn't like painting my nails with a mop. 

I foresee this baby getting some heavy rotation in the future. I wore this for a solid 5 days with ZERO CHIPS and barely any tip wear! Can you believe that? Color me impressed! I was very hard on my nails while I had this on as well. Lots of cleaning, poking around in car engines, tons of water exposure, etc. By all rights it should have looked like it had gone a few rounds with Mike Tyson (insert ear joke here, right?) when I took it off, but it was still perfect. I can't wait to try out the rest of my polish from this line just to see if the wear is consistent!

I hope you all are having a great week so far. I haven't forgotten you! I'm still reading your blogs when I have time, and I promise my lack of posts won't last much longer. I really miss having time to sit down and do my nails, as well as blog! I'm also still in the middle of updating my blogroll, so if you don't see yourself there, chances are I'm adding you again, I just haven't had time to actually do it. If you want to be added to my blogroll, leave me a comment and I'll make sure to add you!

Thanks for stopping by, and as always, Happy Polishing!
