Going through some older picture files I found an old NOTD I was planning for the Summer. This post is only a few months late but I guess better late then never. This manicure is using two coats of Orly Jealous Much with two coats of Revlon Whimsical.
I didn't overly like how this manicure turned out because I think that the Orly polish is too teal. I want to find the perfect blue to use as a base for Whimsical because alone it is just too sheer. In the bottle this Revlon polish is one of my favourites but on the nail it is so disappointing. Even with two and three coats you can still see my nail underneath. I would use this polish more if it was more opaque.
What I really like about Whimsical though is the glitter. The light pink and blue bigger glitter looks nice sparsely over the nail. And there is also iridescent glitter that reflects blue that covers more of the nail, but I find you can't really see it unless you look closer at the nail.
If you like sheer glitter polishes then I would definitely say pick up Whimsical, however if you like an opaque polish then make sure to pick up a base polish as well.
I have whimsical too! I too am looking for a good base. Perhaps Essie's winter candy apple or Where's my chauffeur would do...I know turquoise and Caco's is on the teal green side to
ReplyDeleteRevlon's whimsical is gorgeous! Was this a limited edition, or can it be purchased through their normal line? I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI believe that it is part of their permanant line. I see it everytime I'm at Rexall or Shoppers.
DeleteOoohhh I love this combo! I have that Revlon as well.. I couldn't resist it!
