Review of Wet n Wild MegaLast Nail Polish

Just a few weeks ago, Wet n Wild launched their renovated nail polish called MegaLast. This has turned out to be something new from them. According to the company, this nail polish has salon-quality.

Moreover, it is supposed to stay on without any damage for 5 days in a row. Mainly because of this, I did not want to write the review yesterday. I have actually completed the 5^th round just today. So What how is the paint looking now? Has it started chipping? Is no chipping for 5 days only a slogan created by Wet n Wild to sell this nail polish? Review below will answer it all.

Quality Test

MegaLast has 9 different colors. Wet n Wild has come up with extremely unique names for them. I basically picked up I need a Refresh-Mint, On a Trip and Candy-licious . See their picture below. 

The brush of MegaLast is nothing new. Other brands already make use of it. It is nice to see Wet n Wild joining their race. Actually, this type of brush is far better than the traditional one.

At least, I enjoy using it. But yes, sometimes this MegaLast one picks up a little too much of the paint which accidentally can start to drip.

What about the nail polish? I ran an experiment on its quality. I must say that just one coat of MegaLast is not so capable of staying on nails. It chips and that is also in one day under pressure of usual heavy duty tasks. Another problem is that it remains slightly transparent. But good news is that the second coat saves the day. Third one is not at all necessary. Below is the evidence.

As a part of the experiment, here I am wearing two coats of MegaLast without any clear topcoat. Texture wise, the nail polish has no eye catching gloss and glitter. At least, the ones I got do not have them.  Surprisingly, none of them is needed. MegaLast actually does a fine job even without them. Another of its quality is its quick drying power. Yes, the liquid is watery and that can lead to accidental spills. But this still cannot be taken as a minus point. The reason is that Megalast dryies out within 30 seconds on the nails and that goes for each coat. Also, the nail polish does not have the strong smell to give burning sensation to the nose. As for the colors, all of them are great. But I do think that the mint one looks a little like wall paint. Probably, it can be best utilized for creating nail arts.

What about the lasting power? As I said before, today is the 5^th day. Below is the picture of how the nail polish looks now. Do you see any difference or chipping?

I can see a little bit of the chipping. It is not too visible. So we can now say that Wet n Wild has kept its promise. All the colors seem to be doing just fine.

Verdict

MegaLast sets well on the nails and does last up to 5 days. Do not expect this to happen just from one coat though. Second coat is needed.  No way this can be taken as problematic though. The two coats give full coverage after all. I do have a bit of complaint against the mint shade. I feel it needs a little bit improvement. One brutal fact is that the nine colors of MegaLast are not new in the market. They are still better in the sense that they are cheaper than their cousins coming out of other brands. Nothing can beat $1.99. Moreover, the quality of MegaLast along with its brush is priceless. Keeping all this in mind, I bestow upon this nail polish 4.5 out of 5 stars.
