Revlon Scented Polishes

Hello lovelies!

Happy Hump Day.......the weekend is almost here!

Anyway, the other day a package dropped through the door. Inside I found some rather lovely Revlon scented nail polishes. Needless to say, I was very pleased indeed.

l-r; Peach Smoothie, Mad about Mango, Beach, Passion Fruit

pic shows three coats on all nails.

So....here's the lowdown.

Peach Smoothie is the most beautiful nude peach, it has a slight gold shimmer to it which makes it less boring than your average polish. Scent-wise, this is quite subtle, which is fine for me as this is now my go-to work polish. Cant be caught sniffing my fingers at work!!

Mad About Mango..............OMG it smells like Hubba Bubba!! Amazing colour for summer, infact I now have two bottles of this as it was one I honed in on when the polishes were launched. My lovely mother will be gifted with the other one....it's just her colour!

Beach. I don't quite get it. Colour is a wishy-washy yellowy acid green which doesn't look that amazing on my pasty skin and I can't really smell anything....should I sniff for sand or saltwater? I can't make it out.

Passion Fruit is another winner for me. Beautifully opaque and quite strong smelling. I wore this for a day shopping with a friend and made her sniff my fingers in the middle of Edinburgh. Cue odd looks from both her and passers by....

As always, the wear on Revlon polishes is awesome. I can get a good 3-4 days out of them before I need to get it off.

Have you tried any of these polishes yet? I seriously suggest you get yourselves down to your local Boots where Revlon is currently on 3 for 2.

FYI - these polishes were a PR sample. 

NOTD; Barry M Nail Effects

I hunted high and low for this bad boy....but my god, was it worth it.

The idea behind it is you just slap it on over the polish of your choice and then sit back whilst it does it's own thing. Hello arty crackly nails!

£3.95 in Boots/Superdrug or on the BarryM website. 

NOTD; Revlon Emerald City

Hello chickies!

Are you all having a super weekend?

I was lucky enough to be sent some goodies from the Revlon A/W Collection, one of which being the new Emerald City matte nail polish.

Look at how beautiful it is!!

As always, I used two coats to achieve maximum opaqueness......and I gotta say, this polish applies like a dream! As you can see, its not totally matte, which makes it different to all the other polishes I currently own. I love it, and am considering spending valuable Boots points on the Ruby version. 

Whaddya think? Is a matte polish your thing?

NOTD; Chanel Paradoxal

I'm blaming this purchase entirely on peer pressure.

Picture the scene.........after weeks of umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether to purchase Paradoxal on it's release, I had decided to leave it. Somehow I found myself in John Lewis ridiculously early on Saturday morning hovering around the Chanel counter, having ran away from the Bloke who wanted to do grown up things like buying cushions.

 I only went to just look at the bottle in person.............honest. 

And then it happened...........somehow the Chanel Boy convinced me I needed it in my life. Out came my debit card and one £16.50 transaction later this little baby was mine!

It's mostly grey-based, with a purple shimmer through it. Blink and you'll miss it though.....

Having said that, I think I may have found my new most favourite thing ever. Just look at it........it's all murky and dingy. 

And I LOVE it.

This is a ltd edition, so if you really want it I suggest you hotfoot it to your local Chanel counter ASAP.

FYI - this product was purchased by me for review.....i am considering purchasing a back-up cos i love it so much.... 

NOTD; Models Own Misty Grey

(with added bling)

I love this.

That's pretty much all I can say about this colour.

I want more grey polishes now.....

NOTD; A little bit of Revlon love.....

Hiya loves!

Hope you're all well?

Last week was mine and Bloke's anniversary.......I'll do a separate post on that later. Anyway, part of my present were these rather lush Revlon polishes.

L-R; Minted and Lilac Pastelle

I flippin love how they look on my nails!

Really soft pastels, nice creamy formula.......these are a definite two-coater to achieve maximum opaqueness, but they dry quickly so you don't have to hang about all evening.

I reckon Bloke did quite well picking these out himself, don't you?

Just looking at these colours makes me want some ice cream/love hearts/minty green bonbons right now! Bonbons are diet-friendly............right??

I have to interview potential new staff today, so thought I'd go for a classic nude with a twist in an attempt to look like a good boss lady.
