FuchsiaRama

Good afternoon! I have an interesting polish to share with you all.

As you know from my previous post, I am swatching Wet n Wild's Summer Getaway collection.

Here is FuchsiaRama:

 Ok, so I do not like this polish at all. I'm not sure if they were trying to go for a matte finish or not. It dries really weird. And it doesn't dry all that fast, once you have a few coats of it on. This is:
1 coat Sally Hansen's Double Duty base coat
1 coat Orly's base coat
3 coats FuchsiaRama
And no top coat.

I had some issues with my cotton getting all over my fingers, which is why my ring and pinky look messed up.

But I didn't know how to react to this polish. The application was ok. A little thin in the formula department. But as it started drying, it started this matte thing. Which I suppose isn't a bad thing...it just wasn't what I was expecting. This photo makes the color look a lot more pink than it actually is. It is MUCH more purple in real person.

I also had a hard time keeping the polish from going bald when applying. The brush was what made it semi ok to do. It is a thicker brush.

I honestly don't know about this. It took a while to become opaque, hence the three coats. And even then, I don't feel like it has great coverage. It is streaky and bald in places. I think if I wear this polish again, I will start with a purple base coat, then apply only one or two coats of this stuff...and probably add a glossy top coat. I just am not crazy with their attempt at matte.

What do you all think???

Until next time....

  1. The formula alone would put me off tbh. I like the colour in the pictures but I'm not a huge purple fan so the real life colour would put me off.

    1. Yeah...it was such a confusing polish for me. I honestly don't know if I will ever try it again. Which is a bummer, cause as a fan of purple, I really liked it in the bottle!
