Wet'n'Wild Rock Solid Nail lacquer in Pretty In Pink Diamonds

Natural "light", flash
Natural "light"

Note: Sorry for a "slightly used" look. I blame intensive hand washing and cold weather for this! :)

10 ml (0,33 oz), exp. date: 18 month after opening, "made in PRC" (i.e. The People's Republic of China)

I guess it's Toluen and Phthalate Free (contains Formaldehyde Resin!) like it's "sister" Pink Sapphire from the same collection. For some reason the list of ingredients is missing on this one, so I can't be sure. :/

Claims: "Infused with micro fine diamond flecks for rock solid strength and platinum performance."

Colour: pale orange with very fine golden shimmer-flecks. Have no idea how Wet'n'Wild guys came up with Pink Diamonds name! :)  It's not pink at all!

Finish: shimmer.

Application: pretty smooth application , but quite sheer. I usually apply 3 coats for a full coverage.

Retail price: 3,95 EUR (quite often Wet'n'Wild products are on "Buy 3 pay for 2" offer).

Pros: wearable shade, nice brush, pretty bottle (with a "diamond" on top!), good application.
Cons: sheer, list of ingredients is missing, smelly (!).

PS Can't wait for spring/summer? Put this shade on and pretend spring/summer is here! :)
PPS This polish is one of hubby's faves! :) Does that ring a bell? lol

What's your favourite orange nail polish?

Wet'n'Wild Rock Solid Nail lacquer in Pink Sapphire


 Bright artificial light

Note: this polish is indeed long lasting! See how my nails got longer (the gap between the cuticle and polish) but the polish is still OK! :)

10 ml (0,33 oz), exp. date: no info, made in UK.

Toluen & Phthalate Free (contains Formaldehyde Resin!).


Claims: "Infused with micro fine diamond flecks for rock solid strength and platinum performance."

Colour: pale milky pink with very fine silver shimmer. This shade is so versatile! You can wear it anywhere: office, party, wedding (!), etc.

Finish: creme (jelly?)-shimmer.

Application: pretty smooth application , but very sheer. I usually apply 3 coats, but as you can see from the pictures - the white nail line is still visible. And here comes a "secret trick"! Somehow this polish makes your tips look visually whiter! In person it looks like you have false nails (in a good way :) ) on!

Retail price: 3,95 EUR (quite often Wet'n'Wild products are on "Buy 3 pay for 2" offer).

Pros: versatile shade, nice brush, pretty bottle (with a "diamond" on top!), list of ingredients, long lasting.
Cons: sheer, smelly (!). I'm not sure what was the problem, but when I tried this particular polish with Sally Hansen's fast drying top coat, after the removal process I discovered "a surprise" - my nails turned yellow! I've never experienced this before... Weird!

PS If you have troubles in making the French tips yourself, or you just don't have time, grab this polish. :) It will make your nails look clean&sophisticated. :)
