Wid and Crazy Neon Shower

Full steam ahead on the Wild and Crazy train, choo choo! I just have such a soft spot in my heart for W&C and its sister brand, Sinful Colors. Funky colors, weird (and often misspelled/grammatically incorrect) names, and in W&C's case, the fact that it is no longer made. Did you know that the owners of Wet n' Wild took Mirage Cosmetics, parent company of Wild and Crazy, to court over the name — and won? (Here is an article about it.) Kinda stupid in my opinion... they don't own the word "wild"! But alas, it means that W&C is no more, and is therefore getting harder to find with time. A few beauty supply sites still have a few colors in their inventory, but aside from that, it takes some serious digging to find even one bottle of this stuff. That is, unless you ask the Sinfully Polished FB group and one of the admins kindly sends a few your way! If you aren't already a part of that group, you need to join! It's awesome!

Anyway, this is Neon Shower. It's a gorgeous old-school glass fleck (why isn't this formula common anymore??) in a fiery red shade. It depends on the light you view it in, as it sometimes veers more coral or orange, but it's a great polish regardless! This is 2 coats -- the VNL is definitely a little more apparent in person, but is not noticeable at a quick glance. 

Maybe this color is a little bit out of season at the moment, but you know what? It's a nice pick-me-up for these dreary, cold days. That being said, this would be truly fabulous in the summer! It's so sparkly and bright, and would pair beautifully with a tan.

The only thing that does not thrill me about these polishes is the wear. I've had this on for less than 24 hours, and it may not be visible in the photo, but I've already got a couple of little chips. I usually start to see substantial chipping around 2-3 days in, and particular colors have a tendency to erode and crack in a strange way. I'm just way too in love with the color selection and branding to care, though.

Well, I think that just about wraps it up for now. And until next time... PEACE! xoxo
