I picked up a bit of polish this week! If you still have an open KMart, GET THAT SHIT. Also, pop over to your Ulta because their Gwen polishes are finally half-off there, as well! So happy.
 |
| Of course I was going to pick up her limited edition red. Also, A Woman's Prague-ative, 4 in the Morning, and Essie "Leading Lady", which was at a sketchy Rite Aid. Work... perks...? With coupons and Ulta points, it was $12. |
 |
| SERIOUSLY. GET YOUR ASS TO KMART. "Smoldering", "Bold Gold", "Tantalizing", "Red Tote", "Wine and Dined", "Heavenly", "Beguile", "Ocean", "Burgundy", "Styled Out", "Blue Blowout", "Rain Check", and Wet N Wild's matte coat, which supposedly is one of the best top coats out there. Spent about $20 overall. |
So anyway, polish. I decided to swatch "Over and Over A-Gwen" to see how it stood up to my other reds.
 |
| Dat red. |
 |
The line-up. Wet N Wild "I Red a Good Book", Sally Hansen "Right Said Red", and Maybelline "Paint the Town".
 |
| One coat; the coverage on Gwen's is fantastic. Maybelline is the second, then Sally Hansen, then Wet N Wild. You can tell right away the Maybelline is significantly darker, and the thinner polishes run rather pink. But that could be because of the thin application. |
 |
Second coat. Perfect coverage with Gwen, then Maybelline, to my surprise, then Sally Hansen, then Wet N Wild.
 |
| A little closer of a shot. This actually makes a nice ombre! Gwen's definitely stands out here. The Sally Hansen and the Wet N Wild lean more orange, for sure. |
|
So anyway. I also wore A Woman's Prague-ative for a day, and it is awesome.
 |
Of course, this also took about four coats because it's so sheer.
|
Interestingly, it appears far more coppery on the nail than it does in the bottle.
But it's still very fiery. I don't like crackle coats but I would totally slap down some matte black crackle polish over this bitch in a second.
 |
And for funsies, A Woman's Prague-ative over the swatches.
