Revlon Scented - Gum Drop & Mad About Mango

My local CVS had some of these marked down 75% making them just $1.49! So I picked up the two that looked most interesting to me.

The formula on both of these left a good bit to be desired. 

Both were thin and watery requiring 4 coats to reach opacity

Gum Drop

A light purple. The scent smells like generic chewing gum to me.

Mad About Mango

Medium tone orange. The scent was fabulous! A refreshing fruity, definitely mango scent. Delightful.

I wouldn't have paid full price for these, but $1.49 was on par with the quality I got out of them.

Revlon - Girly

This is a *new* version of Girly. Revlon previously released a polish named Girly, seen here, but this is obviously very different! So apparently they just recycled the name.

I saw a glimpse of it online, but heard girls were having a hard time finding it. I found it at my local Kmart. It wasn't in a special display, just a slot in the regular Revlon rack!

 

I recently broke several nails after a long day of babysitting, so I'm back to nubs currently.

Pictured is 2 coats over Orly Lollipop (which is the perfect color underwear for this!)

 

Here on my thumb is just 3 coats by itself, no underwear. It's kind of sheer and I prefer the look of it with a base polish.

 Isn't it just gorgeous candy goodness?!

Revlon - Sparkle Aplenty

This is a new fall shade from Revlon. I found a fully stocked display at Walgreens last week. I thought it was unique enough to be added to my collection. :) A friend of mine pointed out that it is quite similar to Nail Venturous Voodoo Doll, but a "poor man's version." I much prefer the larger glitter pieces in Voodoo Doll, but this is more available and affordable.

This is 2 coats. The glitter applies evenly without having to place them. The charcoal/black base is just sheer enough that you can see glitter from underneath layers, but it's opaque enough to cover in 2 coats.

Lavender Bubblegum

I wanted a bright fun glittery look to go along with the gorgeous spring weather. Here is Revlon Bubblegum (yes it's scented) with Milani Jewel FX Lavender on top.

This is 3 coats of Revlon Bubblegum (it's a little thin) and 1 coat of Milani Jewel FX Lavender.

The scent of the Revlon was really strong to start with and made me a little nauseous as I was trying to fall asleep. Lol. But it had faded to nothing by the next evening.

Holographic Nudity

I heard rumor that the dress code at work has changed and that they no longer allow employees to wear nail polish! I'm in shock and horror! This is surely directed at me personally! So until I know for sure.... I wore this to my first night back at work. I went for subtlety to hopefully fly under the radar. If the rumor is true, I will simply comply and actually let my nails breathe while I'm at work. That might actually help my staining to improve.... *update! The rumor was FALSE! The policy still only states that "artificial nails are prohibited." So yay! I can still wear my many polishes! :)

This is 2 coats of Revlon Elegant & 1 coat of Speciallita HITS Hefesto.

A naked nail with some holographic goodness in the sun. :)

I'll report back with what I find out!
