Revlon Blue Mosaic

Today is the last day to enter my Revlon Glitters giveaway! I'm wearing the last color, Blue Mosaic, and I think I may have saved the best for last. I layered Blue Mosaic over Rimmel Marine Blue. This is a gorgeous light blue with silver shimmer that applied flawlessly in two coats. Rimmel polishes have that same massive brush as the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes.

Blue Mosaic is full of blue microglitter and silver and green hexagon glitter. I didn't even realize the green glitter was in it until I stepped outside in the sunlight to start taking pictures. The formula was not problematic, but the brush was very thin compared to the other two glitters. It may have just been a manufacturer error. I applied one relatively thick coat of Blue Mosaic.

This one is my favorite! I love how it gives the illusion of a foil and the glitter almost glows on the nail. It looks like I have some serious bling on my nails, but without being gaudy. This polish reminds me of Zoya Charla on glitter overload.

Now that you've seen all three shades, Blue Mosaic, Starry Pink, and Facets of Fuchsia, which is your favorite?

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia & Starry Pink Layering Combos

Hey dolls, I just realized that my giveaway is ending soon and I haven't shown you pictures of all of the colors. Today I'm wearing Facets of Fuchsia, a purple micro & hexagon glitter suspended in a black base. To avoid having to use a lot of layers, I first applied Aldo Hit the Pavement. This is a black polish filled with silver shimmer. I had no clue Also sold polish...I usually just go there for my shoe fix. I got Hit the Pavement during this haul a few months ago. I only applied 1 coat since I knew I would be layering it. The formula was good...not too thick nor runny. The brush was a little stiff, but not problematic. It looks pretty opaque in real life, but I do see a little balding on my pinkie in the picture.

Hit the Pavement is a nice black shimmer. I think it'll be awesome when I'm in the mood for black polish. I then added 1 coat of Facets of Fuchsia. The formula was great for a glitter. It wasn't thick or goopy. The glitter distributes relatively evenly, but you do have to manipulate the hexagon glitter a little bit if you want it all over the nail. If you are doing multiple coats, I would recommend waiting a few minutes for each to dry to avoid lifting the glitter. Unfortunately it has been dreary here for the last 2 days, so I don't have sun pictures. These flash shot shows the shade of the glitter best.

I love how much depth the glitter has to it. I think this polish would be a great addition to any stash. Compared to Starry Pink, I'm in love with this Facets of Fuchsia! Speaking of Starry Pink, I decided to layer it over a few colors based on some recommendations. Since it is Pink Wednesday, I'll include those pictures as well. The colors I chose to go under Starry Pink are Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On, Essie French Affair, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Hot Magenta, and Zoya Mimi.

I like it best over the second one, Essie French Affair. It just has more depth. The last 2 don't do anything for me since Starry Pink's base is so milky. I hope you all are having a good hump day...I'm excited for the season premier of Modern Family tonight and a new episode of Top Model!

Pink Wednesday ~ Revlon Starry Pink

Hey dolls, today I'm wearing one of the new glitters that is a part of my giveaway. Revlon Starry Pink is a milky, light pink glitter that is full of small silver glitter and larger hexagonal glitter. The formula was good for a glitter, not too thick or thin. I really like the Revlon brush; the polish went exactly where I wanted it to and barely any clean up was needed. I'm wearing 2 coats in the pictures below, but you may want a third if you require full opacity.

The pictures show more VNL than is actually present to the eye in real life. This is one of the glitters from the set that I was really excited about after seeing on other blogs, but its just a little meh on me. Maybe I'll give it another try layered over a different color. The glitter does dry relatively rough, so a good top coat is needed. I used Nubar Diamont Seal & Shine Top Coat for the first time and I am very pleased. Its relatively thick and my mani was completely dry to the touch in less than five minutes. There weren't any shrinkage issues, but I'll continue using it for the next few weeks to see if its a keeper. The only downfall of Nubar Diamont so far is that I can't get it on the ground. I'll keep you all posted on this speed dry top coat.

Happy hump day!!!
