When I first purchased this bottle of polish, I thought the name was Jockstrap Juggler. Besides it being one of those blues that I drool over no matter how many similar shades I may have, I also got it because I thought the name was hilarious. As someone with a wickedly overactive imagination, I won’t even mention what images danced around in my head. I would also like to warn you not to google images for jockstrap juggler because you will be scarred if you see a few of the image results. I’m not saying that you won’t see a lot of nice, uhm, packages, but you will also see things that will sear your eyeballs to a crisp. So don’t do it. Please. Just don’t.
The actual name if this polish is obviously Jock Juggler. Is that any better? When I photographed this polish, it looked sooooo much like China Glaze Bahamian Blues but Jock Juggler has green in it that makes it look a little aqua. I’ll need to compare it side-by-side to For Audrey, Gumdrop, I Need A Re-fresh Mint…ad nauseam…to see if it is truly a dupe of any of those colors. Although it looks like a full on creme, in the bottle it has the slightest flash of blue shimmer, and I really mean slight because it doesn’t show up on my nails at all. I applied 3 coats in order to level out the polish. This one was slightly thick so it was a little difficult to get this to apply smoothly right away.
I then sponged Wet N Wild Cost Is No Issue on my tips. This glitter is so freaking pretty. Do you think it’s a good combination with Jock Juggler?
What are you wearing on your nails today? Oh, and did you google jockstrap juggler? I knew it!
You are seriously too funny! I do the same thing far too often… I hear penis and many other dirty words when there should be none. It can be very awkward when it happens.
This is another very pretty blue, but I don't know if I would go out of my way to purchase it. I need to finish my spreadsheet to figure out just what I've got!
Also, and I hope this isn't strange, but where does your fourth finger go in some of your photos?? (I'm really hoping you're not missing a finger on one of your hands or else I would be making myself very awkward again.)
LMAO! I swear I was going to post something about it because I wondered if people would think I'm missing a finger. When I swatch nail polishes (like more than 3 at a time) I only do 3 nails just to save time…it may only be one nail but still. I either bend it out of the way or extend it to align it behind the handle of the bottle.
I am always awkward. I always hear the wrong thing and then I put my foot in my mouth. Ooohh…egg on my face!
I'm glad you have all your fingers! lol I put my foot in mouth all the time and was hoping this wasn't one of them! haha Sounds like a good way to cut down swatching time, it's so time consuming!
I think that if I cut it down to two fingers, I think I will have to rethink swatching so much. lol
I think I've seen other bloggers just do two fingered swatches. I like to see the whole hand myself but I'm sure it cuts the time waaaay down.
That's hilarious you only you three fingers. I only do 4 but for me up here on my swatching high horse it seems slightly less weird than three! ;p Don't be surprised if I steal your trick tho!
I always used to do 4 when I started and then I started doing 3 whenever I swatched glitter. Believe it or not, I did swatch glitters…I think it was before I started the blog and was only bombarding my favorite FB group with them. lol
That's an especially good idea with glitter. Plus, idk about you but my pinky always wants to like not line up with my other fingers quite right- like it doesn't reach the bottle like the rest so it's always at too steep of an angle. Maybe it's just my goofy fingers.
For me, it's my pointer finger that never wants to cooperate. I already have deformed and abnormally short and stubby fingers so it's not like I really needed the wonky finger too.
They don't look stubby in pictures. Mine do tho. 🙁
It's just the angle. lol
GLITTER!! 😀 This makes me happy.
Yay! 🙂
Love the color! Not sure about the glitter.
I knew you were going to say something about the glitter.
Jockstrap Juggler or Jockstrap Juggler…LOL either way!
HOLY CRAP YOU ARE WEARING GLITTER! AND IT LOOKS AWESOME! Although I think I recall that you like those particular WnW glitters. It will likely not surprise you that I have all of them except two because they were similar to others I have. It will also likely not surprise you that I have only worn Give Me a Price Quote and It's All in the Cut (still have Back Alley Deals, Believe Me It's Real, Cost Is No Issue, and Diamond in the Rough to try). This, however, is a GREAT idea because I have trouble with them…they needs tons of topcoat because they are gritty, and then there are so many layers they chip instantaneously. Smarty-pants!
And I am currently wearing China Glaze Empowerment with Zoya Chloe topcoat.
…AAAAND I wrote Jockstrap twice, LOL!!! Guess I know where my mind is at!
I was just about to say that. hahahahaha!
This is one of the only ways I will wear glitter. I really did like the look of these Wet N Wild glitters because they are all so interesting looking. I even liked the hairy bar one. The main reason I won't wear them is because, like you said, they dry super gritty and they eat up top coat like nobody's business. I haven't invested in Gelous yet so I don't know if that will solve the problem. I was tempted by the Prismatics recently but I resisted. They are pretty, though. WnW also came out with a dupe collection but the CG version was cheaper…yet I still resisted.
Empowerment looks pretty…very feminine. I want that topcoat!!!!!!!
I did buy some Gelous recently and love it as a base coat, although the main reason I bought it was to try it out as a glitter topcoat.
I managed to resist the Prismatics and the WnW dupes, too!
I have the three Zoya flakie topcoats (pink, blue, & green). They look great over pastels!
I want to get them but don't know how much use I will get out of them. I wanted to get my hands on the FP Flaky Top Coats but I never found them at any of my Sallys. 🙁 I was searching for Gelous nail polishes because I bought one that looks about 5 million years old. I don't see that they make any colored nail polishes…just top/base coats and treatments. This is interesting!
Love this color although I want a good baby blue (turns out its flattering on me) so I may opt for Bahamian blue. I have a gang of blue-greens. I like the glitter on the tip! The name here is hilarious- I feel like they should come out w a companion color- wiener wrangler! Haha. Anyway- very pretty. I like the combo and it reminds me of the glitter version of those blue on blue stamped nails I did. Ttyl, miss long-nails. :p
Oh and FYI I'm wearing some orange (OPI roll in the Hague stamped over FP Circus Peanuts) on orange stamped nails. They're so cute and I LOVE them. I had to have perfect nails today cuz I ran part of a meeting at work (all day training, snooze) where people were gonna be looking at my hands for like 2 hours.
Wiener Wrangler!!!! LMAO If I could name nail polishes, I would have so much fun. I got another Sation polish called Miss Emo Shun All. W.T.F. It's a really pretty purple so I will ignore the name until I do a post about it. I just imagined naming a Ciate caviar-type kit with a blue polish and blue beads "Blue Balls" Love it!
HAHAHA! That would be perfect. If you ever feel like doing a caviar manicure you have GOT to do blue and call it that. Promise me! Promise me right now!!!
I will do it tomorrow…just for you.
Oh my god… are you serious!? You have made my day tomorrow. Made me future day. That's powerful. So are blue balls, so I've heard!
LMAO…I'm going to have to put an adult content disclaimer on my blog.
Hahaha perfect!

This is a perfect combinaison !!!!! 😀 Glitters and blue <3
I love Wet N Wild Cost Is No Issue !!!! Do you know where I can buy it ?
Thank you! Unfortunately it's not available anymore unless you can find it on eBay. It is from a limited edition holiday collection from last year. 🙁 It was really hard to find even for us!
🙁 🙁 I will try to find it on eBay…
You are so lucky to have it ! 🙂

LMFAO, comments have me dying!! love it with the glitter tips 2!!
I love it when the comments are better than the post. lol
Baby blue jockstraps. That's what I just thought of! I don't have any W&W glitters…..maybe I should look into that, because that look is ice cold, baby!
I can't keep up with all your posts lately. I read them all, but I can't comment on them all because another post crops up before I can LOL. You are a posting, jockstrap juggling MACHINE!
Wet N Wild seems to put out nice glitter dupe collections. This collection was a dupe of some nails inc. glitters for 1/3 of the price. This particular collection was limited edition so it's not in stores anymore. The put out a dupe collection of the CG Prismatics which is nice but I wasn't interested.
I know I have been a posting machine lately….I need to pace myself. I've just suddenly felt a burst of energy. I'm going to take advantage of it while it lasts. 🙂
