Absolutely amazing for the price. Looks great layered over an array of colors or used in between jelly polish layers.

FANTASTIC, beautiful, cheap product. This is a glitter polish with small red hex glitter, small blue hex glitter, med-large blue hex glitter, med-large red hex glitter and large mirror-like/silver hex glitter in a clear base. (The silver hex glitters seem to be the largest.) It's great for layering over a polish to give it noticeable oomph or for layering in between a jelly polish to give it a candy-like sprinkle appearance. Considering the super cheap price, this is a very versatile and handy polish to have on hand for those of us that are obsessed with layering. (I don't think you can ever reach full opacity with this polish unless you're patient enough to apply 6+ coats).


The density of the glittier is mediocre, which is why I'm taking off a lippie - you might have to dab your brush in place to get a nice sprinkling of all the glitters on your nail, which is doable but annoying.

I love Wet N Wild polishes and this one is no different. The glitter is very pretty and is comparable to more expensive brands. I like the mix of colors in the polish and I find it very long lasting with or without a top coat. I usually do two coats for tons of glitter. Like all glitters, this takes time to remove, so be patient.

Although I completely adore the color of this polish and the fun effect it gives when layered over others I just wish the glitter wasn't so scarce. Other than that I love this.

My favorite glitter polish. Multicolored and chunky and festive and fun. I can layer this over just about anything, but my favorite is over a light pink. Like the reviewer below me, I think it looks like cupcake sprinkles. The only downside is that it is a total be-otch to remove. Even more so than other glitter polishes. It's worth the aggravation though!

Festive mix of rainbow colored glitter. I love it on the tips of my nails on top of bubblegum pink polish. It gives a super cute sprinkled cupcake look.

Very affordable nail glitter polish. The clear base is way too thick for my liking. The thickness and lack of glitter results in a sparse application of glitter. The glitter is nice and chunky but it takes too much effort to achieve a highly glitter look...nice for random glitter look.

What a whimsical, fun polish! I got this to wear during the holidays but love it so much I will continue to wear it often! It looks stunning alone or applied as a thin coat over other polishes. For only $1.99 at my local Walgreens, it's a fantastic deal. Try it and and I think you will love it as much as myself and other reviewers!

Wet n' Wild's FastDry Nail Polish in Party of Five Glitters contains five different types of glitter, suspended in a clear base. The formula is toluene and phthalate free. I purchased my bottle at Rite Aid for .99c for .46 fl oz of polish.
I like the unique packaging of Wet n' Wild's FastDry line. The glass bottle is tall and cylindrical and feels solid. The cap is black plastic with texturing on the side, making it easier to get a firm grip. Wet n' Wild is embossed on the top of the cap, but due to the unique shape of the bottle, this isn't very hard to find in the Sea of Polish. The cap hasn't detached from the top of the brush yet. The brush is slightly longer and thicker than the average brush and is rounded at the end, which is perfect for glitter application.
Suspended in thick, clear polish is 5 different glitters. Red. Green. Silver. Violet. Blue. All different shapes and sizes. I get the name Party of Five, the polish certainly has a festive visual appeal in the bottle as well as when applied.
I would classify Party of Five Glitters as a layering polish. Sure you can wear it on it's own, but it'll take 5+coats for opacity. I've tried. I've found the best way to apply this glitter polish is to dot it on with the tip of the brush. Swiping it like a normal polish barely leaves behind any glitter. Dotting deposits way more glitter, more evenly. I personally use two coats of this for satisfactory glitter coverage, but really its up to you how much sparkle you want.
Despite being called "FastDry", Party of Five Glitters takes forever to dry. About 3-5 minutes to be dry to the touch, over 10 minutes to be dry enough that it doesn't smudge. The dry time is unacceptably long.
What Party of Five lacks it dry time it makes up for in wear. It seems to make whatever polish it's layered over last a few days longer. It's impressive and tempts me all the more to use it.
Removal is easy for a glitter polish. It's a little stubborn, but it comes off with a little work. As I mentioned in my Revlon Blue Mosaic review, I prefer to use a combined method of soaking and pressure to remove difficult polishes, as opposed to vigorous rubbing, which can damage the nail.
I do recommend Wet n' Wild's Party of Five Glitters polish. Aside from the absurd dry time, this is an excellent and appealing glitter polish. It wears well and gives any polish a cute sparkle. This is a polish that'll get a ton of wear in the holiday season and in summer. It's hard to resist layering it over every polish I wear. At just under $2, this polish is a great value and an almost definite repurchase.

Dupes: This is said to be a dupe for Milani's Gems polish, as well as OPI's Rainbow Connection. Some even say Deborah Lippman's Happy Birthday.

Best Layered Over: Sinful Colors Big Daddy or Essence's Just Rock It.

LOVE this. The varied glitter sizes and colors make this polish perfect for dressing up any color nail polish. I've been wearing it over avon nailwear pro in gunmetal and it makes all the different glitter colors really pop.

Nice consistency with just the right amount of glitter and it dries fast as it promises, even with multiple coats. The only drawback is once it starts to chip the glitter escapes and sticks to my skin and hair. (The smell is kind of strong as well but it fades quickly.)
