I am one of those nail nerds that enjoys looking at other people's nail polish collections on youtube in my spare time haha embarrassing but true :) So I decided to upload my rather modest collection by color. But instead of just showing the color I will be showing the color showing the swatch on the nail, giving you the price, telling you where you can buy it if you like the color, and most importantly telling you if you should buy it or not. Because there are a few colors I have that I definitely would not repurchase. Remember these are just my opinions and what worked or didn't work for me.
This is a beautiful tiffany blue color that applies completely opaque in two thin coats. It is very similar to "For Audrey" by china glaze. This line of Wet n wild polishes features the wide "pro brush" that aims to make application easier. It didn't necessarily work completely on my long thin curved nails but for most people who have smaller thinner nails it will work much better. It is a shade that will flatter alot of different skin types and it is very accessible at most drugstores (Rite Aid/Walgreens/CVS) and online I do recommend this and would repurchase it

2) Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Extreme Wear "Mint Sorbet" #340= $2.64-$2.99 most drugstores and Target
I purchased this delicate mint green shade at Target mainly to use as a background color to an asian cherry blossom design. I have a few of the Sally Hansen Extreme Wear and they are just ok for me. Not horrible but not my favorite brand. This one in particular was one I had to use the nail polish thinner on that I purchased last week because the cream formula got really gloopy after a few uses. This one took three coats to go on opaquely and tended to be really streaky the first two coats. I would most likely not repurchase this although I do like this color. This brand is readily available in most drugstores, Targets, Walmart, and online it tends to be a little bit cheaper at target in my experience but it is not available on the Target website.

3) Wet N Wild Fast Dry "Teal of Fortune" #228C= $1.99 Most drugstores
I absolutely loved this shade in the bottle. It is a shimmery teal shade that is part of wet n wilds fast dry collection. However when I actually used this I really did not care for it for a few reasons. The first is that even with a basecoat it stained my nails soooo bad. My toenails were so stained in fact that it did not work to buff off the stain which is what I always do if a polish stains my nails, I literally had to let the teal part of my toenail grow out in order to get rid of the stain. Another reason I didn't like this fast dry line is its really not that fast dry. It took three coats to apply opaquely and the third coat took over a half hour to dry. I definitely would not repurchase this again. Wet n wild is available in most drugstores, online, and at most Walmart Stores.

4) Wet N Wild "Sagreena the Teenage Witch" #226 C= $1.99 most drugstores
Yes I did use most of this but it was only for adding green details (like leaves or vines) to a nail design since I do not have dark green acrylic paint for some reason. But unfortunately the couple tines I did apply it onto the whole nail it performed exactly as the other Wet N Wild fast dry in my collection, "Teal of Fortune" It took three coats to be opaque, it was not really all that fast dry (taking over 30 minutes to totally dry) and staining my nails dark green even with a basecoat. This line was disappointing and I would not repurchase it. It is a beautiful shade though and I was glad I was able to use it in nail art, but as nail polish I would not use it again. I could not find this shade online but it available in most drugstores and Target.
5) Icing Nail Polish: Dark Neon Turquoise (small size)= I paid $2.00 for a pack of five neon colors in the Icing Store
This color was the most difficult of any of the greens to photograph. Even in the picture I posted it still looks too bright. But in person it is a really gorgeous dark shimmery turquoise. It is a matte finish which I didn't love since I prefer a glossy shiny finish but you can always add a topcoat to change the finish. I was pleasantly surprised with Icing Brand Polishes they are actually a great formula that applies opaquely in two coats and is not goopy or streaky. Icing is a store in most malls that is kind of like Claire's for grown ups. I actually don't have a name for this one because I purchased it in a set of five neon colors as part of icing's 5 for $10 sales they run quite often. I would definitely repurchase polish from Icing again.
6) Icing Nail Polish "Bonjour" (small size) =I paid $2.00 for the limited edition Paris Collection in the Icing Stores
This Icing polish performed just as well. The limited edition paris collection was a set of five metallic pastel shades. Bonjour is a beautiful soft green with gold reflects. It applied opaque in two coats with no streaking. I would repurchase Icing polishes again for sure!
7) Wet n Wild Wild Shine "Caribbean Frost" #440 C= $0.99 most drugstores and Walmart
The Wet n Wild wild shine line is a classic I have used it since I was fourteen years old. It is long wearing and applies opaque in 2-3 coats depending on the shade. Caribbean Frost in particular applied opaquely in 2 coats. I have actually had this bottle for about 4 years now and it still applies well if that gives you an indication of how good this stuff is. It is a dark turquoise shade similar to the icing one but it is a shimmer rather then a matte finish. I will always repurchase this brand.

8) I purchased this polish overseas for about 70 cents I do not have a name for it and it is not available in the US
So I will be uploading the other colors in my collection along with brief reviews of each one. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it :) <3
