Wet n Wild Megalast Salon Nail Color 218A I Need A Refresh-Mint Review and Swatches

OK, let me just start off by saying something totally unrelated, Pinterest is so friggin addictive!!! The reason why I've not posted yet this week is coz I've been there all the time pinning this, pinning that, pinning almost everything that could possibly be pinned online. I know, I have a problem here, so I decided not to pin too much today and do a blog post instead, it was long overdue anyway.

My first Wet n Wild mega last Nail Color was in the shade I Need A Refresh-Mint. And the packaging was one of the reasons. The back of the bottle clearly shows the shade name and the ingredients on a peel-open sticker. There's the logo of the company embossed on the other two sides. The top shows us that they have introduced a ManiCurve Pro Brush which I must say is very impressive. Looks very chic, sturdy, and promising for a product that is so inexpensive. The brush is kind of like the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure's and in fact, the design looks a little similar too, though I liked the Wet n Wild's better, even the brush. And I really loved this shade. I think it is the perfect mint shade I've ever used and I love how this shade matches my skin tone perfectly.




Here's what the company claims about the mega last polishes: from wnwbeauty.com
Sophisticated, classic colors beautifully accent any look. Long-lasting, opaque color provides 5 days of chip-resistant wear. A revolutionary resin polymer system creates exceptional color adhesion to nails. This resilient polish is calcium and mineral fortified to rebalance and prevent nail discoloration. Comes with a unique, full-coverage brush that glides on smooth for one-stroke application. Toluene, phthalate, and formaldehyde-free.

The application was very easy and didn't get messy. One coat gives a very good opaque and rich color. I applied two coats and it dried pretty fast. I love the creamy smooth texture of this nail polish. And it does last for about 3 days with mild chipping after 3 days. You don't really need a base/top coat unless you want to use one. I love the fact that it is calcium and mineral-infused. I know I could do with some calcium as my nails are prone to breaking very easily.

It's an excellent product for such less price. I got it for $1 at Walgreens in a promotional sale and there is always some or the other sale. There's 0.45 oz (13.5 ml) of product and that should last for a long time. I recommend this to anyone who's a nail polish lover and would like to try mint shades. I'll repurchase this once it's over.

I loved the mint shade so much that I went ahead and got a few other shades. One thing I've noticed after trying many nail polishes from this line is that the formula is not consistent. It differs from shade to shade; not all have the same consistency and it usually varies with color, and finish. All the nail polishes from this line give opaque color with 2 coats, but the color is richer with some than with others. I have 5 nail polishes from this line, and I'm just giving you my two cents here, if you just want one color, then go get I Need A refresh-Mint and skip the rest coz it's the most unique color with the best formula. But if you wanna try out more colors then get them during a sale. Also, these nail polishes do not stain your nails so you don't really need a base coat and unless you want super shine you don't really need a top coat either. Also, I don't think there's a top coat that gives super shine.

I hope this review, helped you.

Overall Rating (this shade only): A+

    1. Hmm yeah for warm skin with warm undertones this could be an issue. I'm kind of cool/neutral so this shade looks perfect on me. I think you can go with green nail polish with shimmer or golden tones.

Top 12 Things to Buy from Kruidvat own Brand

 We've been seeing inflation here in the Netherlands since October last year. It's just plain ridiculous to see something that I paid 5 euros for a few months back is now around 7 euros or maybe more. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you buy about 50 things (food, groceries, toiletries, etc.) for your house, it all adds up and overall you are paying 50 to 100 euros more than what you were paying previously. But unfortunately, not a lot of us have seen this increase in our pay and many people have even lost jobs during and after the covid crisis. So it's only natural for us to want to save our money wherever we can. But that said we also do not want to compromise on quality. And that is where the idea for this post comes from. Kruidvat is a drugstore that is similar to CVS/Walgreens in the US. Products sold here are mostly hygiene products, cleaning supplies, makeup, and over-the-counter medicines. I have been shopping here for hygiene products for years. By now I

April 2012 Favorites and Regrets

I can't believe April has already come to an end. I can't say I'm sorry either because this means less rain, more blossoms, and summer in another month. So without further ado, I present to you this month's beauty and makeup favorites. For those I've reviewed I have linked them to the blog post. For the rest of them, I left short reviews of why I did or didn't like them. As you can see there are quite a few things I've been liking this month. The list of all things beauty I've been loving/using frequently are: (in left to right order) Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray Extreme Hold: This product is just wow. The windy city can be brutal to hair and this product is really a blessing. It's easy to use and smells great. It's not too expensive and comes in a huge bottle. Clairol Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Conditioner Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturizer: I first got introduced to this lotion when I was in India and

5 Things that Did Not Work for Me to Lose Weight with Hypothyroid/PCOS

 I have been suffering and dealing with Hypothyroid/PCOS for about a decade now. Weight gain is one of the main problems of people struggling with these two chronic illnesses. I have tried a lot of things to reduce weight and over the years I have been through many trials and tribulations and made many mistakes in the process of trying to lose weight.  The following tips come from my experience and these are mistakes you might want to avoid if weight loss is your goal with Hypothyroid/PCOS. Counting calories : Like many others, I bought into the belief that by counting calories and limiting my calorie intake I would be able to lose weight. But this is a very bad way to start because it gives you the idea that you can eat anything and everything as long as you are limiting your calorie intake. And since most foods like junk, and ready-made foods that you buy at the supermarket come with a lot of calories, I used to overall eat very less, not get enough nutrition, starve myself, and then
