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.

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 mostly compared to the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polishes but I never tried those so I cannot compare. I really love 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+
