Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color: Bubblegum Pink


Brand: Sally Hansen
Shade: Bubblegum Pink 38
Color: Slightly pearly medium cool pink
Scent: Classic "nailpolish" fragrance
Consistency: Very thick and streaky
Brush: Classic shape but with an adequate amount of cooperative bristles
Color Selection: Pretty large selection
Opacity: 5 out of 5
Dupes?: Essie Chastity, MAC Ice Cream Cake
Staying power: 3 out of 5--I used this once a while back and it went on much better, so I am thinking the "quick dry" formula needs to be used quickly as well, or else it becomes this chunky nightmare!
Repurchase? No, because I will never use a bottle up quick enough to beat the inevitable thick and yucky consistency

OVERALL RATING: 2 out of 5

Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color: Tickled Pink



Brand: Wet n Wild
Shade: Tickled Pink 402

Scent: Classic "nailpolish" fragrance
Consistency: Thick, opaque, chunky, and streaky
Brush: Thin with stiff, unruly bristles
Color Selection: Decent selection, though most are limited edition shades
Opacity: 5 out of 5
Dupes?: E.L.F. Bubblegum Pink looks very similar from online swatches
Staying power: Unknown; didn't want to keep it on long enough to find out!
Repurchase? Big N-O!
