Wet n Wild Nocturnal

I love black polish as much as the next person, but I'm tired of these "so dark they look black" colors. Wet n Wild Nocturnal is one of the new craze polishes. Although it looks black in the bottle, it's actually dark blue. I'm pretty impressed with these polishes - my ring and pinkie fingers above have only one coat, and you can see how good the pigmentation is. With care I think you could get away with one coat, and have pretty midnight blue polish. Unfortunately, 2 coats takes you to the black bottle color (as on my index and middle fingers.) I don't like to wear only one coat, because it makes the uneven spots in my nails show, so think one's probably not for me - but it was dirt cheap and the brush was excellent (the cap, however, is awkward and in the way.)

2 coats over black

I don't usually like to layer - if a polish requires layering, I dismiss it as too sheer and move on. But this beautiful holographic purple was too awesome to miss! It was b1g1f too, so it cost me about 45 cents. I layered over 1 coat of Milani Black magic (my favorite black because it is opaque in one coat.) It's actually very holographic for a sheer, but I had a hard time capturing the sparkles. I got a bunch of the new Craze polishes at the same time, so I will have swatches of those later this week.
