Revlon-Apple-tini Fizz

This is one of those colors that you see in the store and all the hype around it makes you want it.  The Revlon Fizz collection was so hyped up that I needed to get at least one.  I was really out to get Grapefruit Fizz, but they were all sold out at my Walgreen's.  Instead, I settled on Apple-tini Fizz.  In the bottle, it looks like a light lime-ish green jelly with lots of glitter and shimmers.  On the nail, it kind of looks gross.  Like the color of grody yellowed nails to the extreme.  I decided to put it over black to see what would happen and BAM!  I loved it.  I used two coats over a base of Wet'n'Wild Black Creme and three coats over my bare nails.  No topcoat.

 

I included the close up pic so you could all see how stunning this was over black.  To die for!  As you can see, though, it kind of looks gross over bare nail.  As for the scent, it is very strong at first.  Smells just like an apple Jolly Rancher!  Topcoat doesn't really affect the scent too much, which is a good thing I suppose.  I can't wait to get the other ones and try them out over black!!

Thanks for reading!  Love <3

Revlon-Cotton Candy

Today's nail of the day is Revlon's scented nail polish in Cotton Candy.  I couldn't resist getting this little baby when I saw how beautiful it was in combination with the fact that it was scented!  I was skeptical about how long the scent would last, but even after applying top coat and waiting for a few days, the smell was still pretty strong!  This color is literally cotton candy pink with golden shimmers.  So beautiful!

Below: beautiful sheen, but you can see the "bald" spots

How pretty is that?  The formula was mediocre and suffered from light polish syndrome (streaks and unevenness), but after 3 coats it managed to become pretty even.  I added a konad stamp to try to distract from the streakiness.  Overall, I love the color, not impressed by the formula.  I'll probably wear this again, though, because it smells divine!!
