Wet n Wild sent me a couple of their new products to try out, including a bottle of MegaLast Nail Color in Club Havana, a vivid opaque orange which gets great coverage in 2 to 3 coats. (That's two coats shown above.) Orange is yet another hot nail color for the spring/summer season, and once you put it on, you'll know why. It's bright, bold and makes you want to lounge somewhere sunny and drink Mojitos.
I was pleasantly surprised by this new formula from Wet n Wild, which claims to provide "5 days of chip-resistant wear." It does, sorta of: Like many nail polishes it begins to fade at the tips BUT it won't chip outright. I prefer polishes that fade gradually rather than chip off in big flakes.
MegaLast nail color also comes with a wider redesigned brush, which I have come to depend on for even coverage. The wider brushes are just so much easier to use, I can't be bothered with the thin ones anymore.
The bottle is smaller than most at 0.30 fluid ounces but the $1.99 price more than reflects this. Personally I'd rather pay less, get less, and be able to try more colors when it comes to something like nail polish. I can't recall the last time I actually went through an entire bottle of polish, so these smaller bottles make sense.
Back to the color itself: It dries slightly darker than the bottle and looks like hot pink in certain lights. Orange looks fabulous on toes, so if you don't want to wear such a bold hue to work, etc., try it on your tootsies.
Can't wait to try another one of the 18 colors in this collection. Not as good as say, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure, but definitely a decent polish that won't disappoint.

Xo,

I have never tried OPI, but I heard that it generally lasts longer, and applies thick. Would you say that's true? It's a little pricier than other brands, but I do love their color collection. I'm intrigued by A Good Mandarin is Hard to Find!
