It's wide and flat which helps me sometimes in painting but I know it's not for everyone.
This is Ants In My Pants, and I decided to test it out several ways. On my index and middle fingers I have on China Glaze Adventure Red-y, then 2 cots of Ants in My Pants. My ring finger is just 3 coats of Ants by itself. My pinkie is 2 coats of Ants over 1 coat of Sephora black. As you can see, Ants In My Pants is a large and small red glitter in a slightly black base. I did not use a top coat.
I'm not sure if I like it over red or black better but I definitely do not care for this color by itself (ring finger). It's just too sheer and I can't justify more than 3 coats, even if it is a $2 bottle of polish.
Here in the shade, I really think I love this color over red the best. It really gives it a blood-red feel - great for Halloween!
Here's a shot in indirect sun. Still loving it over red the best. I used to only wear glitters over black but you just lose so much.
Finally indoors with the flash.
Additionally, here's a close up of the different layering options.
For $2, this really isn't a bad deal. It's not a dead on dupe for the Ruby Red Slippers - there is a lot less glitter on the nail - it's a good alternative in a pitch. Only real hassle is because this only sold at CVS, you have to live near one.
Spoiled by Wet n Wild is a CVS-exclusive line of nail polish sold for $2 for a 0.50 fl oz bottle.

ReplyDelete<3 Thank you for reading!
DeleteCan't wait to see this is my local CVS (sting Long's Drugs in Hawaii).
ReplyDeleteOoh nice! Should be, I'd hope!
DeleteThis looks great on you! I got the DL version when I first got into collecting polish (I'm a DL hoarder) but it's nice to see a cheaper alternative!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I have the DL version too - gotta love DL!
DeleteI love this!

DeleteThat looks great over red. I wonder if we got different batches though. I have this and mine is very thick formula wise, but at 3 coats it's almost opaque and I had a lot more glitter coverage.
ReplyDeleteInteresting!!! I want yours!
DeleteThe wetnwild Fergie line has a dupe of this called "Make Them Boys Go Loco," if you don't have a CVS to go to. They retail at 3.49 though :(
ReplyDeleteMine by Spoiled is also very different, it is black with lots of glitter in 3 coats. Maybe you got an off bottle?
DeleteGaaa what?!
DeleteMaybe I did get an off bottle! :|
DeleteLovely over black polish!
