Wet n Wild Megalast in Sugar Coat

This weather is very blog-appropriate... 18 degrees outside and no sun! Absolutely freezing. Anyhow, how are you all doing? I have tried out a couple of Megalast polishes from Wet n Wild, and I wanted to share one with you today.



I neglected to snap a photo of it, but the Megalast brushes are broad and flat, and quite big compared to other sizes that I've come across. I  found a photo online to show you, and it happens to be the same shade!

I actually like the brush style. It's a bit odd to get used to, but it works if your nail size works with the size of the brush.

Sugar Coat is a super pale pink with no visible shimmer. It's a creamy, milky "baby doll" pink.


I have a problem with the formulation of this polish. The first coat is an absolute disaster - you simply cannot get rid of the streaky, milky look that barely has any pigmentation. The second coat is better, but it's still really hard to work with. Although you might not notice if you just glance, there's definitely some major disadvantages in this polish. It's also not the most opaque either, so you'll see little streak lines even when it's dry. I did two coats, and did not want to opt for more, as I was afraid that it would take too long to dry.

(please ignore the mess-ups: those were my problem, not necessarily the polishes')

Above you can kind of see the streakiness more noticeably. The moving of the polish is my bad - I'm always way too impatient to let my nails dry.

Sugar Coat is a pretty color, but it's just too much of a hassle when it comes to the lack of pigmentation and streakiness.

Don't give up on Megalast polishes yet, I will be reviewing more soon!
