This is another one of the Wet & Wild polishes that I managed to sneak into the trolley during the weekly shop one day last year. I find I can often lose track of time in the supermarket beauty aisles, wondering what treasures I
can find. It’s a good thing we don’t have an Asda round here, from what I know of their nail polishes!
So, here we have Sparked. I bought this because it just looked so pretty in the bottle. See, harsh supermarket lighting does serve an occasional
purpose! You all know I’m not a pink, glittery and fluffy girl but I like this one.
Considering it only cost about £2.00, this polish is excellent quality. It was totally opaque in two coats, which is something other budget brands can learn from. I even found the thickness of it more impressive than many of China Glaze’s latest glitter collection.
I took this to a get-together of my friends recently, where I had been asked to do a few manicures. I painted one of my friends’ nails with this polish and kept staring at her hands over dinner – this looked amazing as it kept catching the light and blinging away. It’s one of those polishes where if I saw someone wearing it, I would feel compelled to go and ask them what it was.
I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that removal was a total pain. But that’s what you get with a glitter, so it shouldn’t be any great shocker.
It is pink and silver glitter particles packed in a pink toned jelly. One for the warmer toned of you to avoid perhaps, but for eyecatching sparkle and glitter on a budget, you defintely can’t g0 wrong here.

Georgous !
My friend is off to the states soon and i will add this to the list of thinks to bring back for me !
Hi Helen,
Just to say that I bought this in Tesco in the UK so you might be able to find it a bit more locally to you than America! Glad you like it!
Helen
You’re so lucky to have these in the UK, I was just saying this morning how I like WnW polishes but they’re not distributed in France 🙁
I think it is one of the nicest polishes I’ve seen you wear. It really really suits you.
Hmmmm..not so wild about this. I guess I don’t care for sparkle polishes personally because they tend (for me) to become an assault on my senses after wearing them for a few days. Just bought a gorgeous new OPI and it is very shimmery/sparkly and I could only look at it for about 2 days then off it came (very arduously I might add!)
WOW i can’t believe i wasn’t subscribed?! weird!! and this is beautiful, i have a hard candy polish that looks like this 🙂
Ooh,I have this one! It’s so pretty – and yeah, removal’s a pain, but it looks gorgeous on you!
Very pretty and sparkly. Love this on you. Most everything looks fabulous on your nails. WetnWild suprise me with how nice they are. Especially the price!
Chocaddict – We don’t have anywhere near the range that our American friends have. More like 4 or 5 bottles in the local supermarket!
Jenni – Thankyou! I was surprised at how much I liked it.
Beth – I’m curious as to which OPI that was? Glitter can be a major pain, I think you have to be in the mood for it!
Kellie – Glad you made it 🙂
Nikki – Thanks – it’s fabulous, isn’t it?
Lucy – Thankyou – yes, this is one brand that hasnt been given a million % price increase over here – amazing!

Have to say that inspired me to check out Tesco’svery small wet and wild selection today. I came out with one called Starry night and have just applied it. It is very pink and unbelievably glittery. Have never seen so much glitter in a polish and only used 2 coats. May use it as next weekend’s dog show manicure!
