Revlon Whimsical Goes Matte!

Thanks again to Krissy for helping me find this beauty!!!!

As you all may already know, Whimsical is quit sheer, so I chose to layer it over top of Hard Candy Sky, and I think they are the perfect couple :) I used 2 coats of each :)

I then added a coat of Essie Matte About You, and LOVE the effect. It also got 2 thumbs up from Jack!!

Revlon Black with Envy

Morning, in my last post, I said that I used Revlon Black with Envy as my base color. Well, here it is. Now, when this first came out everyone was talking about it since it is supposedly a dupe of Chanels Black Pearl, and I can say...I had no interest in it, none. I never even looked for it on stores. Like I said though, I'm weak, lol. I came across a full display of it in Wal-greens a few weeks ago, and kept on moving. Then something happened, right as I was going to check out, at the last second, I ran back and grabbed one. I don't even know why. Maybe because it's the closest thing I will ever have to a Chanel polish, and maybe the collector in me too Who knows. Anyways, here it is, and I used 2 coats of it.

Do I love it....no, but it's alright. I'm glad I didn't pay the Chanel price for it, and since I don't own Black Pearl, I cannot verify how close they are. Maybe black tips would have made this mani more lovable for me.

Mmmmm....

If it smells good, I want it!! I saw these re-released scented Revlons at Rite Aid, and for the first time, I decided I needed this one. I own a few, but Not So Blueberry was coming home with me. Let me tell you, this smells A M A Z I N G!!! It smells just like when you tear open a Kool-Aid packet, pre-water. It is very sweet, and the great thing is, even with a coat of SV over it, it still smells!!

Revlon Royal Funky French

Here is the mani I told you about the other day. I saw a few swatches of the new Revlon Top Speeds and Royal and Royal was the only one that interested me. So as soon as I saw it, I snatched it up! For this mani I used the Sally Hansen Night Lights, Revlon Royal and my regular black.

This is 2 coats of Royal. Do you see why I HAD to have it!!  Oh and just an FYI, it does dry semi matte/vinyl.

Then I added 1 coat of Night Lights

 

annnnnd....my black tips :P

Playing with Perplex....

So I finally got Revlon Perplex, Chanel's Pradoxal dupe!! I actually grabbed 2, but I'm saving 1 for a give away I'm going to have, along with some other prettes :) I'll probaby have it after the new year!! It really is such a pretty color, and the hidden shimmer is GORG! Here are a bunch of different manis, all using this!!!

Here she is all by her pretty self :)

Then I used my Bundle Monster plate, BM20 to do this design. I just used Sinful's Black on Black for the image

Here I did Perplex with Nicole's Pitch Black Glimmer over top

Annnnnnnd....of course black tips :)

Then I tried it under Barielle's Elle's Spell, and LOVED IT!!! You can really see the flakies in Elle's Spell now.

But add a coat of the Nicole Pitch Black Glimmer, and you have a very fun mani!!!

Revlon PrisMagics.......

Sorry it took me FOREVER to post these 2 Revlons :(  I have just had so many other manis I wanted to share, but here they are!!  Levitate & Potion. These 2 are from the same collection as these were,

Magical & Crystal Ball. I even contacted Revlon, to get some info on this collection. I searched the internet, and couldn't even find the Collection name, let alone when they were released! The lovely Customer Service Rep got back to my email in a few days. So This collection was called PrisMagics and was released in 2003.

This is Levitate

Potion
