Salon Perfect x Wonka Collection – Swatches & Review

PR SAMPLE

And just like that, it’s been 2 months since I’ve posted on this blog. WHOOPS. (And even before that, I was posting, some might say, sporadically through 2023). I did very much NOT plan on a break like this, but it’s happened. Okay, yes, so, I’ve been posting more than ever on my Instagram, and working to get so much backlogged polish swatched – and in that, something else had to give and it was the blog.

But don’t worry, I’ve missed writing and posting, and the blog definitely is not going anywhere. I want to truly get onto a more regular schedule of posting here – maybe not quite the speed of my Instagram swatching – but more timely for sure. I want it to be even more of a resource, and a place where you can expect to find thoughts about the latest collections. The blog’s always been there in the background, and I want to give it even more love this year. I’m DETERMINED. (And yes I have been blogging for like 8 years now, I should probably have had this down by now. But I’m constantly learning and changing my style. My time allowance and lifestyle and budget have all changed, and so has my blog throughout the years. We still gotta adjust.)

I won’t go on and on about any specific goals or schedules or plans – as I haven’t fully gotten them down yet, and that’s just setting oneself up for failure. I’m sure it’ll shift and change as I figure out the best plan of attack. We’ll get there, we’ll find a groove here, I just know it. I have big ideas, and I can’t wait for them to come to life. Thanks as always for sticking around, even through the quiet times.

So alright, let’s start posting again already.

As you can tell by the title of this post, we’re looking at Salon Perfect’s release in collaboration with the newest Wonka movie. And YES, this is very much late. But it’s part of a whole swath of content I have, with swatches and photos that are already edited and just waiting, and I don’t want to throw any of them away – even if it’s harder to find the polishes now. I mean, who knows, you might still see them pop up in a destash somewhere. It’s still content, we gotta start catching up somewhere.

So yes, Salon Perfect sent these over in the most gorgeous PR box I’ve ever seen – and it just made me feel so grateful for any and all PR I receive! (But I promise I’ll still be honest – you would be able to see in any live swatch if I ever struggled with a formula). This collection features 8 nail polish shades, all inspired by the movie itself, with so much shimmer and sparkle and richness.

Also released in this collection, there were 8 new sets of press-on nails, as well as 4 sheets of nail stickers. I have quite a few of their press-on sets at this point, and I do really love them! They’re a nice thicker quality, and they hold up so well – so they’re perfect to pop on for a weekend when I want a little something fancier. I do also love that most of their sets come with 30 nails in them, in quite a range of sizes, so I’ve been able to really find my perfect nail sizes. I received 4 different designs in my little package – and then I went on and purchased another design – a testament to how much I love their press-ons. Just wanted to give a little spiel of “don’t sleep on Salon Perfect’s press ons”, okay thank you.

Again, I know it’s been a while since they’ve been released – but you can often new Salon Perfect limited edition releases at Walmart as well as on Walmart’s website. You’re also often able to purchase direct from Salon Perfect’s website as well.

And now that I’m done rambling, we’re looking at swatches now.

NOTD: Salon Perfect ‘Who Ya Gonna Call?’

I just happened to see this random little collection of Salon Perfect in my Walmart. It was literally just sitting in a little plastic holder all by itself in the middle of the bottom shelf near all of the nail polish. I knew I had found an untouched gem so I had to take a look.

It was the Salon Perfect Halloween collection. This shade was the one that truly intrigued me out of all of them – there was just a standard black, purple, orange and then toppers, but this was the one that caught me so I picked it up.

This one is called ‘Who Ya Gonna Call?’. It’s a clear jelly base with tons of black, dark green, and light green matte pieces all throughout. This was only 2 coats to get it opaque. It takes a little working, in the way that you can’t just swipe it on and go. As long as you just run your brush over your nail a couple of times to truly distribute all of the pieces on your nail, you’ll be set and opaque in two coats. But it’s definitely not work to get it even at all.

who-ya-gonna-call

I will say that upon removal it can be easy to get the little pieces pretty much everywhere – but they come off in due time.

Truly such a unique polish! And great formula. I love it for Halloween. (It reminds me of Floam. Anyone else have that stuff?)

 

I’ll have the Sinful Colors Halloween 2016 collection review up tomorrow!
