Pedicure of the week and inexpensive Essie "watermelon" dupe

Wet n Wild "Lady Luck" $0.99 (photo taken outside in natural light)

I have been lusting after Essie's "watermelon" for awhile now but as you know by now if you read my blog I just can't bring myself to spend eight dollars on nail polish, so if you are looking for a great budget friendly alternative you must check out Wet and Wild's Lady Luck. Be warned though, while the Wet n Wild polishes are certainly lighter on your pocketbook they are a lesser quality (ie most if not all of them require at least 3 coats for full opacity vs the Essie polishes that tend to be opaque in 1-2 coats) However in my experience they do have decent staying power with a good topcoat so it is still worth working with their more watery formula.

"Lady Luck", a vibrant magenta with a slight shimmery blue undertone is NOT and exact dupe for Essie's Watermelon which lacks the oh so subtle blue shimmer but color wise it is very very close, so much so you would have to have both side by side under bright lights to see any difference. And at $0.99 vs $8.00 it is much lighter on the wallet.

So go pick up a bottle of "Lady Luck" today. I think this color looks amazing on the toes and is one that could very easily compliment all skintones. Thank you so much for reading and have a great week!
