Wet & Wild "Hannah Pinktana" nail polish!

Last week I picked up a Wet & Wild polish set from Walgreens. It was $1.50 for the duo and I could choose from a variety of colors (all quick dry) that came with a quick dry top coat as well. I chose "Hannah Pinktana"- a pinkish purple polish with lots of rainbow holographic glitter!

Despite the silly name and low price tag, I actually loved this polish! The glitter particles are smooth, so no chunkiness here. It's super sparkly but not so intense that you can't wear it out in public. This looks beautiful both inside and outside (the sun makes it sparkle like nothing else!). Because this is a sparkle polish, I had to apply 4 coats to get this level of opacity.
