Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers Tombstone Polish in Rest In Pieces

Hi all! I meant to post this yesterday, but my son was running a pretty good fever and wanted to snuggle with mama all day. He's better today, still has a fever but it's low. I have the virus now though, so tomorrow's post may be late in the day since I'll more than likely be resting today.

I'm also bummed since I had to take my nails down one more time. I get these weird curved spots on a few of my nails sometimes, and the only way to get rid of them is to file that spot down. I thought I had it all last time I took down my length, but I guess not. This time I am certain those pesky spots are gone, so I can work on the length now. Thankfully I also like this length, it just limits some of the things I want to do. But let's get to the polish!

Today I am sharing another Halloween polish. This is the last of this year's Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers Tombstone polishes. Rest In Pieces is a Black Jelly polish with purple microglitter. If you think it looks familiar, it is! It's a re-release of Wet N Wild's Night Prowl. I have Night Prowl, but have yet to post it here, but in the interest of comparison I may do a post on it soon.

Despite being another recycled color, Rest In Pieces is awesome enough to have both. Night Prowl isn't a discontinued color, but I've only seen it one place here, and not until about 4 months ago at that.

The purple in the glitter was hard to capture, but it's just beautiful.  Out of the 3 glitters released this year, RIP is my second fave. Don't get me wrong, I love them all! But Nail in The Coffin really stood out for me. RIP and Once Upon A Time rock, but seeing as they are repromotes I wasn't as excited about them.

Formula:
This was a little on the thin side for a glitter, but that works for me. No clumping, dragging, or bubbling. It does dry very matte, so a topcoat is a must. It also dries VERY quickly, another bonus!

Application:
No real issues here. This went on smoothly, and I had no pooling or running even though it was fairly thin. It does dry fast, so need to wait between coats. Being a jelly base, it is fairly sheer on the first coat, but builds nicely. I'm wearing 3 coats here for depth and opacity, but IRL 2 coats is just fine.

What do you think of this years Tombstone line-up? Which is your fave?

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing! (and I hope you're all well and not Virus Infested like I am!)

Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers Tombstone Polish in Nail In The Coffin

Hello again Ladies! 2 posts in one day! Will wonders never cease? ;)

I was attempting to organize my overflowing polish cabinet today, when this baby literally jumped out at me. I took that to mean it's time to start showing Halloween polishes.

Wet N Wild releases the Fantasy Makers Tombstone polishes every year around Halloween, and usually I am unable to find them. This year they popped up in a couple places, which made me a happy polish addict since I didn't have to ogle them from afar for once! There are 4 polishes in this mini-collection, Once Upon A Time (Dupe for Spoiled Ants In My Pants), Rest In Pieces (Dupe for Wet N Wild Night Prowl), A Glow in the dark polish whose name seems to have come off of every bottle I've seen so far, and Nail In The Coffin.

Today I am sharing Nail In The Coffin. As far as I can tell, this may be the only polish in this lineup that is not a dupe for another Wet N Wild polish. NITC is a black jelly polish with silver and pumpkin colored microglitter. The glitter in this girl isn't too dense, but it's also not too sparse to see. It's a gorgeous combination - shimmery and glittery but still chic and sexy.  I think I'm in love!

Isn't she gorgeous?  I love how she shines, even in low light (last 2 photos).

I'm a sucker for a glittery black, and this polish is just the right amount of both.  And how about those bottles? I love those tombstone bottles. It's worth picking these up just for the bottles alone!

Formula:
This girl was impressive. Very smooth, silky formula that flowed easily onto the nail. The consistency was perfection as well: not too thick, not too thin and not thickening during use.

Application:
No application issues here! Smooth as silk and opaque in 2 easy peasy coats. It was a bit streaky on the first coat, but I expect that from most polish. NITC evened out perfectly with the second coat. I did not have any dragging, balding, bubbling or other annoyances.

I'm loving this polish like crazy. This girl will not be gathering dust in my polish cabinet, that's for sure! If you can find these, they are certainly worth the whopping $1.99 price tag. I found mine at Ulta, but they did not last long. I still see them at Smith's, but have yet to see them at Walgreens or CVS.

What do you think of Nail In The Coffin? Have you been looking for these yet?

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
