revlon still scented
5/4/11
Ok so I’ve had the Revlon scented polish on since Sunday and it still smells not a strongly as before but u can still catch the scent I’m surprised at how well the polish is lasting given that I didn’t topcoat it, I was even on the till part of yesterday and normally that is what messes up my nails the most coz I get really bad tip wear. BTW sorry I forgot to get a pic of this as a fresh Mani so please excuse the scruffiness , the longer I wear the colour the more I like it , I actually thought it was a bit of a dupe for my rimmel--- but this is a much warmer colour more an ivory than a white

So I was in boots yesterday tryin to get all the bits and pieces needed to make bath salts with the teenagers @ youth club for mothers day soo I just had to have a look around the makeup stands to see what was new nail polish wise and every stand seems to have new colours out I really had to restrain myself I have been after a nice peach crème finish so I picked up this 17 lasting fix in orange soda I have yet to try it on my own nails but my sister is wearing it along with 17 lasting fix in lemon fizz these ones take a while to dry but tey are really opaque so I find 2 coats enough

Then of this new crackle top coat caught my eye (I really think they put those just in stickers to make me spend more money) I love the colour but the crackle pattern isn’t exactly awe inspiring you have to apply it really thin or it won’t crack I will keep at it though coz I like the colour its what I would describe as a platinum colour it has a similar consistency as the china glaze ones rather than the Barry m crackle polish

My last purchase of the day was the new Revlon scented nail polish in colour 340 coconut crush when it dries it is sented they have – colours but I figured I will get a lot of use out of the pearl white finnish not a particularly unique colour but sented nail polish.. of course I’m gonna have to have some lol it is pretty scented it first dries 2nd day in it still smells good but not a s strong I kinda wanna see how long it lasts it really just a bit of fun coz I won’t be able to top coat it or it will lose the smell so it’s a short term Mani will let you guys know how it goes

I love the idea of the scented nail polish but I wish you could smell it before you buy it the consistency is good a little thinner than the normal Revlon it takes 3-4 coats to make it opaque I guess it is gimmicky coz it’s not like I’m gonna walk around smelling my nails all day but it’s a bit of fun for the summer r perfect for me to wear until I sort out my ‘car’ colour speaking of which I did swatch the 17 crackle top coat over china glaze sea spray and I love the really subtle effect I got

I am getting a new car so my latest quest is a polish to match it I’m getting it sometime this coming weekend but I really think I need to have the car before I can get a perfect match I think sea spray is close it may just need a tweak with a touch more blue it’s a hard colour to carry in your head so we shall see lol I have to say I’m very excited about my car this past week has went soooooo slowly but then it always does when your waiting on something doesn’t it
I did have to laugh though when I went into sally’s to buy china glaze –sea spray the girl said ‘oh I love yor nails did u hand paint that and I said that it was the new china glaze crackle polish and she said 'no china glaze don’t do one are u sure it isn’t opi' and I was all like no coz its only out in black at the moment this is the china glaze oone and it was only when I showed her the bottle (I always carry whatever colours I’m wearing in case I need to touch up) she listened to me lol

Hi again so I have to say I have very little to report my current Mani needs replaced and I didn’t think to photograph it when it was just done so sorry about the general wear in the picture I used Barry m 312 indigo along with china glaze crackle in crushed candy? I got the Barry m one (along with another i cant remember the name of) for my birthday the other day from my aunt which surprisingly I didn’t have or a dupe for it mind u her first words to me were u probably already have these but I tried . the Mani was to match my outfit last Sunday and has lasted fairly well but I usually do get 5-7 days from my Mani anyways I’m still undecided about the seche vite base coat i mean it seems to be working fine guess I was just used to my sally Hansen one I liked the colour combo or the 2 colours I got a lot of compliments on this
