What's On My Nails: Wet n Wild's Teal of Fortune


Wet n Wild Fast Dry Nail Polish in Teal of Fortune
13.4 ml-Made in China-$1.99-Permanent

I tried my hardest to photograph this, but it's a true teal color with blue and turquoise sparkles-it's so beautiful! It reminds me of a mermaid's tail for some reason!

I do have to say that the application on this particular shade is not so great. It's streaky, patchy, and I had to use four coats to achieve the level of pigmentation you see in the photos, and my nail line is still visible for the most part.

Also, it did dry really fast, true to its name.



The Bottom Line
7.5/10
The color is beautiful, but the formula leaves something to be desired!

  7. This is so very gorgeous! I am loving this sort of shade at the moment.
    Such a pity Wet n Wild polishes are harder to find here in Australia!
