Wet n Wild – “Black Creme” 29 May 2011 | 02:16 pm
This was 1 USD at Walgreens. It’s a simple black creme. I know, I know — it’s probably the same formula as “Black Pearl” (swatched below this post) — but I like to keep extra basic black polish aro...
Wet n Wild – “Black Pearl” 29 May 2011 | 02:13 pm
I got this Halloween-themed polish way back in 2009, on sale in November at CVS! I think it was 1 USD originally. Isn’t the bottle cute? The headstone handle does make applying the polish a little mor...

Wet n Wild – “Sandalwood Frost” 7 May 2011 | 07:06 am
I found “Sandalwood Frost” in a set of 10 polishes for $4.99 at CVS in January 2009. This polish looks very different indoors and in direct sunlight. Indoors, it’s a very frosty rose. Outside, it is ...
