Stash Swatch Initiative: Wet'n'Wild Red Tape

Hello!

Today, I've swatch the bright red polish I used for last week's GOT Polish Challenge. This is Wet'n'Wild Red Tape!

Red Tape is a crazy-bright red-orange creme which has a slight jelly-like finish.

Swatches today are one coat of Sinful Colors Base Coat, two coats of Red Tape, and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute. The formula is good and smooth, but my brush on this little bottle is terrible. It's very large and fluffy.

I purchased this bottle about three years ago -- about the time I first moved out here and started getting into polish. I don't think I have anything comparable in my sizable collection at the moment, so I do hope Wet'n'Wild still has this color as part of its lineup. It's bright and eye-catching!

GOT Polish Challenge: Orange

Hello!

Today's GOT Polish Challenge prompt is "Orange"! I double-dipped for inspiration this week!

I started with two coats of China Glaze Riveting over my base of Seche Clear. Riveting is the best orange polish -- It's so gorgeous! I then stamped the orange slices from Bundle Monster plate BM-308 in Konad Special Polish White. I sealed that with one coat of NYC In a New York Minute.

Then, I used one coat of Zoya Coraline, another oldie but goodie (so old, in fact, it was one of my very first swatch posts!), to create a stamped jelly sandwich. I finished that off with one coat of Seche Vite.

Finally, I added one coat of Butter London Matte for this shimmery, juicy look.

Stash Swatch Initiative: Milani Jewel FX Fuchsia

Hello!

Today's polish is Milani Jewel FX in Fuchsia.

Jewel FX Fuchsia is simply medium and tiny shiny, fuchsia, hex glitter in a clear base. I wasn't in love with Zoya Normani from yesterday, but adding this topper made the whole thing look lovely!

Swatches today are one coat of Jewel FX Fuchsia plus one coat of Gelous and one of NYC In a New York Minute over yesterday's Zoya Normani swatch. Formula is good here -- great glitter coverage and easy application. I did use the dabbing method to spread the glitter out evenly, but you could easily swipe this on for a more random look.

I purchased this bottle quite awhile ago. I'm fairly certain I found it at CVS, where I saw it still for sale recently.
