Revlon - Amethyst

Hello everyone!

I'm so sorry about this week everyone. I had to do some things for the job that I was talking about in my last post and on top of all that, Tiana (my girlfriend) got me sick. I'm feeling a bit better, so I'll be back into the swing of things. Tiana also bought me quite a few polishes during the week that I'll be showing you in the future and hopefully sneak in some nail art!

For today, I'll be showing you Revlon's Amethyst. Tiana actually picked this out for me, since she loves the color purple.

Amethyst is a medium purple with pink and blue microshimmer. This is two coats with a top coat. I bought this during my Big Lots haul and it was $1.50. 

The application and formula for Amethyst was good. I really had no problems with applying it. The Revlon Colorstay polishes have a nice rounded brush, which I love and it makes it easier to apply.

I really like the satin/shiny look with this polish. It's so shiny in person. As far as the color, it doesn't really wow me. I do love the pink and blue microshimmer, but it's very subtle on the nail that you almost can't see it.

Overall, I'm on the fence about this polish. While I love the shine on Amethyst, the color is a little meh to me. I wish more of the microshimmer showed a little more in the polish.

What do you think of this polish?

Revlon - Rainforest

Hey everyone!

I recently went to Big Lots and bought a bunch of nail polish during their buyout sale, so I think this week will be swatch week lol. I think the sale still ongoing at the moment, but there are some really good polishes including the discontinued Sephora by OPI, Sally Hansen, Revlon, and Sinful Colors. The prices range from $1.00-1.80 for each polish. I would highly suggest checking your local Big Lots for a good deal on these polishes.

For today, I have a swatch of Revlon's Rainforest. This is probably my favorite out of the ten that I bought. It's such a gorgeous polish. Let's take a look!

Rainforest is a deep forest green (almost black) base with light green glass flecks. To me, Rainforest is more green, but if you look at it far away it looks black.

This is two coats with a top coat. I bought this for only $1.50 at Big Lots. The original price of the Colorstay polishes are $7.99 (quite a bit if you ask me!), so I highly recommend going to Big Lots or wait until it goes on sale at other drugstores to purchase it.

The application and formula was average. During the first coat, it was a little bit patchy. After applying the second coat, it settled itself out. I've actually never tried the Colorstay collection, but the one thing that I'm loving is the rounded brush. It's not very wide, but it does the job quite well. I didn't have to clean up that much either.

Rainforest is such a gorgeous polish! I think the glass flecks do it for me. It's probably one of the most unique polishes that I have in my collection. I highly recommend buying this polish. Like I said earlier, I would wait until this goes on sale or go to your local Big Lots and see if they have it in stock. For $1.50 for a beautiful polish, it's a steal!

Revlon Parfumerie - Autumn Spice + Dotticure

Hey everyone!

I have a swatch of Revlon's Autumn Spice for you today. This is actually my first Revlon and scented polish, so I was excited to see how this polish would turn out. I really like this polish and it smells so good too! Let's take a look!

Autumn Spice is a copper brown polish with micro gold, orange, and pink glitter. This is two coats without a top coat.This is almost a one coater, but it's best to do two coats.

The application and formula were good to work with. I actually wore this on Christmas and I had a hard time applying it because of the ball on the top of the brush, but I didn't have any trouble this time. I guess it just takes getting used to.

The fragrance smells so good. I would say it smells like cinnamon and spice for the most part. It really reminds me of autumn. The great thing about it is that it's not overpowering at all, which is what I like the best. Don't smell it by itself though! I made the mistake of doing that the first time I opened it and it was bad lol.  

I decided to add on to it by creating dots with my dotting tools. I used Sinful Colors Gold Metal for the dots. This is the perfect color combination. I'm so glad that I added the gold dots to it. The dots really bring out the color of Autumn Spice.

Overall, I love Autumn Spice. It has a great formula and scent. I would recommend picking this up and some of the other colors if you're interested. I really want to try more in the collection if they're as good as Autumn Spice.

What do you think of this polish and design? Have you tried any of the Revlon Parfumerie polishes yet?
