Wet n Wild On The Prowl Nail Color Collection for Fall 2011 Swatches, Photos & Review
Wet n Wild has a new limited edition nail color collection out for fall 2011 called On The Prowl. These come in their fast dry formula and are available in six base colors and two “art” colors, which are really just glitter top coats.
If you saw the promo pic for this collection you will note my bottles pretty much look nothing like it. Not sure what happened there! There was a white in the promo pic, but there isn’t a white in the final collection.
Behind Closed Doors
Correction Tape
Cougar Attack
Tangled in My Web
Jungle Fever
Jungle Fever is a medium metallic green. Nice color, but it was on the thin side. I needed three coats for total coverage.
Cougar Attack
Cougar Attack is a copper colored micro-glitter in a brown base. Love this!! I love that the glitter is so dense that it pretty much covers your nail. Also love that the base is dark enough to you don’t see any patchy spots. I did need three coats for coverage but I really love this one!
Buy Me A Drink
Buy Me A Drink is a velvety looking purple/red shimmer. This one looks like it glows. Very pretty color. The polish covered better with this than most others, and I only needed two coats.
Behind Closed Doors
Behind Closed Doors is a red glitter in a black base. The glitter in here is both micro-glitter and larger hexagonal glitter. The base though isn’t very black and it’s very thin. Also the larger glitter isn’t easy to “place” so you have to be patient with it. But it looks much better over the black…
Behind Closed Doors over Ink Well
See how much better this is? Jet black and red. Love it.
Ready To Pounce
Ready To Pounce is a deep royal purple with heavy pink and gold shimmer. Gorgeous! I thought it was going to be just a shimmery purple but the pink and gold really makes it gorgeous and glowy. This is my favorite one in the collection and was three coats.
Tangled in My Web
Tangled in My Web is a clear base with small hexagonal black glitter. On it’s own it’s not really that interesting to me. This is definitely one you will want to layer. This was two coats here.
Tangled in My Web over Orly Gumdrop
See how much better it looks here? Still not sure I love it though…
Ink Well
Ink Well is a solid jet black creme. It’s very black, almost one coat but really two for complete darkness.
Correction Tape
Correction Tape is a multi-colored glitter in clear base. The glitter is micro-round bits, micro-square bits and small hexagonal bits. The glitter colors are pink, blue, gold and purple. The glitter is somewhat dense and covers nicely in two coats, though it would be better as a layering color I think.
Overall:
This is a fun collection, a lot of it reminds me of Halloween! I think the stand out colors are Cougar Attack, Ready To Pounce and Behind Closed Doors.
Availability: Late August (limited edition)
Pricing: $1.99 each
Which ones do you like?

I love, love, love Cougar Attack! It reminds me a bit of Lippmann Superstar, one of my fave polishes.
i think i might have to pick up junger fever, couger attack and ready to pounce!
I love,love these colors!!!I sooo want them but my local stores don’t ever seem to carry the LE, and you can’t order them online!!
Yeah, it’s really frustrating. Hope you find it or can find a friend who can pick it up for you!

LOVE LOVE Cougar attack and Behind Closed Doors. I don’t know..Tangled In My Web is doing it for me…it’s different and cool! I think I need those 3!
I LOVE Tangled in my Web!
Ooh, great collection! I might get a few of these; and they’re at a great price

Hrm, I don’t think that list is in any kind of order. Half of them are blogs I’ve visited once and never returned to. VV is one of only a few really great polish-centered blogs I’ve found — frequent updates, good coverage of new lines/colors, great photography, and well-written reviews of product experience and performance. 90% of the nail blogs out there have one terrible photo (or twenty terrible photos), consist primarily of “nail art,” and/or have reviews consisting entirely of “omg lookit this color, it is nice.” So cheers to VV for doing it RIGHT!
Hi collier and Alexis,
Also they are way off on my stats. Those are from a year ago and are much higher now. I don’t really pay attention to these lists, they didn’t contact me for any info and have a lot of the info wrong about people.
Hi Alexis,
I believe that list is from 2010 and all the info is way incorrect on it anyways!
I want them all! I probably won’t WEAR them all, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting the, Yes, I think I have a problem, haha.
Who else is thinking they see a fairly decent dupe for Ruby Red Slippers by Deborah Lippmann? Not spot on but compared to an $18 price tag, I’d take it!!! Ready To Pounce is also making me quiver a bit with anticipation. Hopefully I’ll find these on a drugstore crawl because I’d get at least two or three of them!
That’s what I was thinking too! If I’m remembering the in-store swatch I did of Slippers, Behind Closed doors is exactly the same!
ahhh i love behind closed doors!
I want them ALL! And I’ll get them too (my pretty)! Don’t get me wrong, I love Correction Tape, but doesn’t it seem out of place in a Halloween collection?
I’m going to to be stalking my local CVS to get all of the glitter polishes as well as Ready to Pounce. I love inexpensive polish.
I would have to say that your bottle of “Correction Tape” is a horribly mislabeled bottle of something else – something like “Party of Five” – and really ought to be an opaque white polish.
Hi nekosan,
I checked with Wet n Wild and they said no. Originally they were going to do a white but decided to do a glitter instead. This glitter has different colors than Party of Five.
Wow. That’s so weird! I’d have thought they’d change the name to something less… white sounding.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing the backstory. I was wondering haha. And I am so glad they went with glitter!
awesome collection, love red and black glitter
Wow, so THIS is what all the hype is about! I’m sold!!!

I really like Correction Tape, Ready to Pounce, Tangled in my Web, and Cougar Attack. Great collection and at a great price!
I bet Correction Tape would be great over a cotton candy pink–like a sprinkled cupcake!
I agree and Wet N Wild does have a great cotton candy pink too.

Correction Tape & Cougar Attack are my favourites from the bunch. Hope I can track these down in the stores near me.

I’m really looking forward to this!! I think i want them all!
Hmm, Tangled over Gumdrop makes me think of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream… YUM! Cougar Attack and Ready To Pounce are the ones that definitely catch my eye. I am also intrigued by Tangled and Behind Closed Doors though I’m not sure if I’d actually use them.

I really hope I can find these at my local drugstores, unlike the Mermaid’s Cove collection. I’m liking Correction Tape and Ready to Pounce and I do like these inexpensive Deborah Lippmann-like glitters.

Cougar Attack is awfully reminiscent of Deborah Lippmann Superstar, no?
I am wondering how well the non-glitter polishes like ink well applied and are they really quick drying?
KJ
Behind closed doors and correction tape really stand out to me. Cougar Attack is nice too but that name makes me roll my eyes.

Some of these look like Lippmann dupes! Superstar and Ruby Red Slippers! I would love to see a comparison post!
the black glitter is so weird! I love the multicolour glitter tough!
Pretty swatches! I will be wanting at least the first five of these!
That purple is awesome!
Phyrra´s last post…Makeup Look for a Day Wedding
Awesome swatches! I would pretty much trade any polish in my collection for Wet N Wild Tangled In My Web! I have no idea why but I really want this!
WOW! I would totally get the whole collection! Some pretty good Deborah Lippmann dupes there!!
Must send Hubby out to find them
LOL
