The relief mani.
I’ve had a love hate relationship with Fergie since she whined about a child and it’s blanket in her song “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” She’s a grown ass woman crooning about missing a man “like a child misses a blankeeee.” PLEASE.
So it truly pained me when I HAD to purchase a nail color from her collaboration with Wet’n’Wild. The fluorescent neon hue screamed my name and I got over myself and bought the damn bottle. I mean, she’s got funky style – how bad could the polish be, really?
It was horrid. The photos do not show how the actual color turned out. Instead of being a vibrant, neon pink, it was a beachy coral that was dull. It made my fingers look like they belonged to an 8-year-old Black Eyed Peas fan with a blankee in tow.
F Fergie and her Wet’n’Wild ways!
Don’t buy unless you want a mani that belongs to a prepubescent girl.
Upon application, I added the sparkly top coat to see if it would make any difference. And it did. I looked like I was a kindergartener that just applied a birthday manicure. Needless to say, I hated the outcome, the product and now realize why I stopped buying Wet’n’Wild nail polish so long ago. Lesson learned. AGAIN.
Because I do my nails Sunday nights, I slept on it, thinking I’d feel better about it in the morning. Nope. Loathed the color and Fergie all the more – especially since I was having to paint my nails twice in two days.
Here’s what Ted and I did last night…
Pawsitively better.
Sally Hansen HARD as NAILS Xtreme Wear in Black Out (370) and White On (300).
Finger lickin’ good.
Upon completion, we snuggled up in our blankee (hey, I didn’t say I didn’t have one – I just don’t whine about it in song), drank wine and literally watched paint dry for the second night in a row.
Lucky us!
