Wet n Wild - Night Prowl!

Here is a polish I picked up recently at Walmart for 94 cents! - it's Wet n Wild Wild Shine nail color in Night Prowl!

A quick swatch instantly reminded me of Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance. If you are turned off by Lippmann's high prices (usually around 18-23 at Nordstrom or online) and don't mind a little bit of a difference, this might be a nice alternative for you! This has the same blackened base and purple glitter, but unlike Bad Romance, this is just one size of purple glitter, no hexagonal glitters here. However, this was 94 cents so....ya know :)

In this photo, I did a base of Petites Night, which is just a regular black polish. However, it's only a dollar and is practically opaque in one coat! I find the Petites nail colors to be a great value, usually look flawless in two coats and come in a nice variety of colors! Anyways, I then topped it with two coats of Night Prowl, and then a Wet n Wild topcoat. It's not as nice as Seche Vite but I've reached that awkward point in the bottle where it's really difficult to get any more out, yet it's still like a good third full. Hm...waste of my money.

Anyways....on to the pics!

And for comparison, here's a pic of Deborah Lippmann 'Bad Romance'! Very similar, no? Same black base, purple glitters, just has some nice added hexagonal glitters! To save about $17...I think I'd be fine with this Wet n Wild almost dupe :)

What do you guys think?

Deborah Lippmann Trio!

OK so I haven't updated for a while. I DID actually do my nails several times, but mainly I just haven't had much time to do anything that isn't either of my jobs, physical therapy for my knee, or last minute wedding planning!

While I've been gone, I did a Zoya Breezi mani, a pedi with Zoya Ali and Pippa dots, and a Zoya Ali pedi! I also decided to use Zoya Gigi for my manicure at my wedding next Sunday! I'll probably do just a normal french tips pedicure on my toes, though I am tempted to do my favorite color purple or something like that!

Anyways, the real reason I came to update was because I am SO EXCITED, I just ordered a Deborah Lippmann set of 3 mini glitters from Nordstrom! I love Deborah Lippmann colors, but the hefty price tag throws me off, so I've never bought any before. However, I saw Amber at Rainbows&Sparkles post about how she got this cute trio of Happy Birthday (all colors glitter), Bad Romance (dark purpley glitter), and Across the Universe (blue/turquoise glitter). The only way it could be better would be if it had Boom Boom Pow (gorgeous gold sparkle) in it!! It was $30 (well, $40 after the shipping and tax) and it's .33 oz per bottle apparently. Normally a .5 oz bottle is $18-20, so I thought it was a decent deal. It also comes in a cute case apparently! I'll post pics when I get it, I can't wait!! :)
