Grape Jelly






Spoiled by Wet n Wild Checkin' Into Rehab

Must I even say why I'm totally diggin` this polish? Just look at how shiny and squishy it looks!!!!! :D
This is an excellent purple jelly polish from the Spoiled by Wet n Wild line. It doesn't completely cover the nail line and the pink specks aren't too obvious on the nails, but I'm obsessed with jelly finishes so I don't care!

<start rant>
The only gripe I have with this polish is the brush. I know I've complained about it before, but the quality is seriously ridiculous. I don't even understand how Wet n Wild managed to screw up the manufacturing of these brushes so badly, because the ones that come with their other polish lines are actually pretty decent. This one was nearly impossible to work with because the load of uneven bristles splayed polish every which way!
</end rant>

I managed to get a decent application by turning the brush on its narrow side and wiping off most of the polish, which gave me a bit more control of where the polish went. Moral of the story: do check those brushes before buying! :P

Oooh, shiney! I love that jelly finish! I've heard evil things about the Spoiled brushes, too... still, it seems a small price to pay for the pretty. <3 this color!

I always open my polishes before buying since there's nothing worse than getting a bottle home to find out its dried shut. I've never pulled it far enough to check out the brush though, I'll have to start doing that I guess.

I LOVE jelly polishes! I did not see this one. So shiny too. I've started to check my polishes too before buying, because some are dried shut, and looks like some shoppers are testing them and making a mess of the bottles.

Jelly!! :D
I love it on you!! I agree, the brushes are utter crap and I dread doing a mani with them, I can just imagine the mess I'm going to make >__<

Exah said...

Lovely colour, too bad about the brush! I have the same issues with WnW polishes, a lot of their brushes are awful...thank goodness only 2 dollars though

@ marko: thanks, i'll check it out

@ super cute super easy: thanks miss! your nails are just as perfect haha (:

@ anon: spew youuuuu

@ ana: haha yeah. i think the ultimate evil is that they have some really good colors so i can't help but go back for them! D:

@ kumi: mm i don't know.. the sales people have seen me check the brushes recently and didn't say anything though! haha. sweeeet that top coat sounds awesome :D

@ agratmahla: yep, never hurts to be extra careful!

@ jenni: yeah this one totally went under the radar cause it just seemed so average at a glance. eww thats so gross, i hate when people ruin perfectly good items like that!!

@ miss blue: since it's agreed that the brushes suck, maybe they'll take a hint and make them a bit more manageable! i thought it was just me lol. just start off reallyyy carefully when you try them out. i managed to get by without cleanup, just took me a bit longer than usual to get this mani done (:

@ exah: yeapp, the price is really fair even with the crazy brushes! :D
