The strangest polish name in my collection

I've been trying to write an introduction for the last 10 minutes and I am just coming up blank. There are no words to describe what you are about to witness. This polish name defies conventions. Logic. Sanity. It will make you scrunch up your face, cock your head to the side, and say "Whaaaaa...?" It will haunt your dreams! You won't be able to sleep for days! It will ruin your life!!!!!!!!!

...Okay, maybe I'm being a little bit dramatic. But seriously, this name is weird. I bought it sight unseen from a random beauty supply site. Partly because I was already ordering some other polishes and needed to reach a certain total for a discount, but mostly because I needed this oddity for my collection.

Before I unveil the name of this polish, let me first show you the color and give you a mini-history lesson.

Wild and Crazy was a cheapo polish brand owned by the same company as Sinful Colors. They’re basically one in the same — Wild and Crazy is the same polish as Sinful, just bottled and renamed for different retailers. (Fun fact: the Sinful version of this polish is called “Old Gold”. Shoutout to Sarah on Facebook for that tidbit!) I believe they used to be sold for $0.99 at drug & dollar stores until the early 2010s. I must say, I vastly prefer these stout little bottles over Sinful's signature bulbous design -- much, much cuter! There was also another variation on the bottle that came later, a sort of chunky conical design, which also looks pretty cool in my opinion.

Anyways! I actually really like this color. It's a bronze shimmer, as you can see, but it's actually pretty rich and deep. I wouldn't call it "lit from within", but it's certainly a nice shimmer for such a low price. Opacity was also shockingly good - only 2 coats here! (This is the exception to Wild and Crazy's formula -- most need 3 or more.) Overall, I'm quite pleased with this polish, especially for something I picked blindly.

So, are you ready for the star of the show?! The name of this polish is...

"Popped out belly". Popped. Out. Belly. WHAT? (I know it kind of looks like "bally" on the label, but it's meant to be an E.) I'm genuinely stunned. I've got no idea what that means. Popped out belly, as in... when you're bloated after eating a lot? Or pregnant? I'm not even going to try to understand.

Well, I think that's enough shenanigans for today. I thought it'd be funny to share such an oddball polish name! I make fun of it, but in the end, I actually find it kind of endearing - it stands out from the crowd. 

I've got some other Wild and Crazy polishes that I'll be showing off soon, since documentation of this brand is sparse at best. I'm all for preservation of history!

Make sure your belly's popped back in and have a wonderful day! Until next time... PEACE! xoxo
