like others have said, this is a nice sheer nude with a slight shimmer to it. if you're looking for an opaque color, this is definitely not it; it will take you half a dozen coats at least to stop seeing vnl. (given that i own quite a few colors out of this collection and most of them are 1-2 coats for opacity, i can only imagine that the sheerness is intentional and not because the line itself is so cheap. this polish is not really meant to be used as a solid color.) i use this as a base for french nails and it's wonderful; i can't wear clear polish because my nails are horribly stained, but mega watt goes on just enough to cover the discoloration. it looks completely natural. for $1, it's a steal given how much i use it.

I love the LA Colors Nail Polishes. i actually like the regular version better the Color Craze line is still great formula but the brush is a bit awkward. the brush is just a bit frayed. at least on the ones ive tried.
Mega Watt is def a great sheer neutral soft pink nude color. thats why i purchased it since i was looking for a nice soft color i could wear daily or to work.
PRICE/AVAILIBILITY- i can find my Color Crazy Polishes at my local Dollar Trees, Family Dollars, Dollar General & sometimes at Big Lots. I have seen a set recently at Rite Aid which was odd but i know cherry culture offers them too. i pay only $1 for these awesome polishes.
SHADE/FORMULA- Mega Watt is a sheer soft light pink nude color. this will be great for those who arent suppose to wear polish but want some color on their nails. this is a great go to no fuss color. the formula is def more sheer than the original formula so i have to put on at least 2 coats in order for it to be opaque enough for my liking. its not bad but i know LA Colors makes great polishes . its not just the shade. but the formula is great. the polish is of great consistency meaning its not dry or too wet and they do go on really nice. and they do stay on the nail for about 5 days with little or no chipping. i use to have a job that put my hands in chemicals all day so they only lasted a day or 2 before chipping but not no more so i can get at least 4 days outta of this polish without having to touch up or reapply. so thats pretty awesome for $1!
PACKAGING- i really love the polish bottles of LA COLORS polishes esp the Color Craze line. the writing is a bit more fun than the regular line. the bottles remind me of the OPI bottles but a tad smaller. they have a great thick glass bottle that allows you to see the polish with a great thick matte black screw on lid w/the brush. the labeling is black writing. now what i hate the most is that on the Color Craze line the shade name is not on the bottle!!! ahhh why? no clue bc on the original its a sticker on the bottom to tell me but for some reason they didnt do that on these sadly. its my only real complaint. so you can either try to remember or what i do is cut the name off the packaging it comes in & tape it to the bottle or just use a label sticker & write it on there. either way it works. i like to know the name of my polishes. so i will do that. the brush is also a tad weird meaning i think it doesnt have enough bristles or the bristles are misshaped? it does make application a little difficult around the cuticle area but nothing major that i cant handle. theres nothing a little remover & a qtip cant fix :) but ive had worse its not that bad but i wanted to be thorough w/ my review & honest
Overall- Mega Watt is one of my favorite go to polishes. its just a great light color. it goes with everything & anything. it thes polishes overall are wonderful esp for the price. i cannot ever pull myself to pay 8x as much for a similar polish. i will def post pictures soon. continued >>

So the main reason I picked up this product was because the bottle/packaging reminded me of an OPI Nailpolish bottle.
It didn't totally disappoint me; but at the same time Im not impressed.
The color is great, the perfect nude with a little bit of sparkle when it hit the light.
I got mine for .99 cents at the Dollar Tree, and I thought it was great for the price, but not something worth swooning over.
I used a base coat + 4 coats of the nailpolish + a top coat; don't attempt using 3 coats or less, it's VERY sheer.
I do have other nail polishes from the 'Color Craze' Collection, and will be repurchasing since I believe it's a good price for the quality.

Mega Watt is a neutral nude pink with light sparkles.
Pros:
-I really love this color, the color compliments my skin tone wonderfully.
-Didn't chip for a week
-It kept my nails stronger than usual.
-Super cheap, managed to get it at the Dollar Tree.
-Dries super fast.
Cons:
-It took me 6 to ten coats to get a solid color, it's super sheer, it takes me over and hour to do my nails with this.
-The cap can come off, could be a problem if not tightly placed.
Will not re-buy again because of how long it takes for application.
