Revlon Holochrome Collection, Swatches and Review

Hiya Dolls!

I picked up four holo polishes from the new Revlon Holochrome Collection.  I hadn't heard anything about this collection, so I was so stunned to see 'holos’ in the drugstore!

These polishes are scattered holo's and they are super pretty in direct sunlight.  Indoor's, the holo bits  look like fine silver shimmer, which is still super pretty.  The formula on these is a little thin, I needed three coats to cover my nail line.

Unicornicopia is a pretty lavender and my favorite of the four.

In direct sunlight:

Hologasm is a gorgeous silver holo.

In direct sunlight:

Fairy Dust is a soft green holo.

Galactic Pink is you guessed it: a pretty soft pink holo.

In direct sunlight:

What do you think of these Revlon Holo's?  I think they are super pretty and so awesome to find something like this in a drugstore brand!

Have a great day loves!

Revlon Plum Seduction with Sephora Gold Top Coat.

Hey Dolls!

I wore this mani for six days a couple of weeks ago and got so many compliments on it.  I sometimes forget about this gorgeous Sephora gold flake top coat and I'm not sure why because it is sooo gorgeous!  I layered this over top of Revlon Plum Seduction which is a beautiful purple-fuchsia cream.

Have a great day!

Love Anne xo

Revlon Fashionista Accent Mani

Hello hello!

Happy Monday!  I have a quick accent mani to share with you all today, using Revlon Fashionista and China Glaze I'm Not Lion.  I love the look of a dark polish with one or two glittery accent nails.

I haven't worn Fashionista in a while, but I really love this polish.  It's so much more than your typical navy polish!

Have a great day loves!

Revlon Charming Accent Mani

Happy New Year Dolls!

I hope you all had a great time over the Holidays!  I am so excited for 2016!

Starting the year off with Revlon Charming, the loveliest pale lilac cream.  It has a great formula, two easy coats gave perfect opacity.  The glitter is China Glaze I'm Not Lion, I just feel like this glitter goes perfectly with any color.  It really is the perfect 'accent nail glitter' in my book!

Wishing you all the best in 2016.  See you again soon with another mani!

Revlon Elusive

Hey Dolls

Revlon Elusive is a gorgeous vampy glitter that is perfect for the Holidays. Elusive has multi-sized green glitters in a black base.  Two thin coats and a generous layer of my fave top coat NYC Grand Central Station.

Twinsie Tuesday Mani to Match your Handbag

Hiya Dolls

 

The theme for TT this week is a mani to match your handbag.  I knew straight away which bag I was going to get my inspiration from!  It is a Dexter bag and it screams Spring!  It has multicolored abstract dots all over it.  I was able to find polish colors that were very similar, and I love how it turned out.

 

 

I used OPI Get Me To The Taj On Time as my base coat and then with my dotting tool I just layered all the colors on top of each other til I was happy with the look.  The polishes I used were OPI Don't Mess With OPI, Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?, Italian Love Affair and Conquistadorable Color, Essie Parka Perfect, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, Revlon Fashionista and Color Club Wicker Park.

Twinsie Tuesday Two Year Anniversary

Hey Dolls

 

Yes, today is actually Thursday, but we are doing a special edition of TT.  It has been exactly two years since we all joined Twinsie Tuesday and we have been assigned a Twinsie to replicate their first TT mani.

 

My Twinsie is the lovely Rachel from Top Coat It.  I was pretty nervous about having Rachel, because she is a queen at nail art!  But lucky for me when I checked out her first mani, it was just a lovely polish and glitter!

 

 

I used two Revlons for my mani, Minted and Heavenly.

 

Here is Rachel's mani:

Revlon Brilliant Strength Provoke

Hey Dolls

 

That was really cool to hear that some of you have heard of the brand Pa from my last post!

 

I've got a pretty orange from Revlon to show you today.  I feel like this orange has a real vintage vibe!  Application was ok, I needed three coats for the opacity that I like.  I find most oranges need three coats to even out.

 

 

 

Have a great Monday!

 







Twinsie Tuesday First Polish Swatched On Blog

Hiya Dolls

 

Today for TT we are showing the first polish we swatched on our blogs.  Mine is extra special to me because it's also my namesake!  Yup, I named my blog after the first polish I swatched.

 

Grape Fizz by Revlon.  I still love this jelly purple! Oh and I still love glass flecks too.

Twinsie Tuesday Rainbow Nails

Hi Dolls!

 

I've got some fun pastel rainbow nails to show you for Twinsie Tuesday this week.  This weeks theme is different for everybody, we were given 'marching orders' by another Twinsie.  My orders came from Chelsea and she asked me to do a rainbow gradient.  I've never tried a rainbow gradient before, and I love how it turned out!

 

I used a base coat of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (my fave white) and then I painted stripes of color on a sponge and dabbed away.  The colors I used are Revlon Pink Chiffon, Orly Prelude To A Kiss, Orly Jealous, Much? Revlon Dreamer and OPI Planks A Lot.

 



And I couldn't resist adding a little somethin-somethin, so I did a light dusting of China Glaze Fairy Dust on top.

Pink Week Breast Cancer Awareness Day 4

Hey Dolls

 

Day 4 four of our Pink Mani Week for Breast Cancer Awareness. 

 

I haven't worn Revlon Popular in a long time, I forgot how much I LOVE this polish!  This is 3 thin coats of Popular.

 

 

Fact 4:

 

 





OPI It's Real Gold 18K Top Coat

 Hey Dolls!

 

I wore this studded mani a few weeks ago and really loved how it looked!  I used Revlon Dreamer which is one of my all time fave blues.  I added a layer of Sephora by OPI It's Real 18K Gold Top Coat.  Joe Starry is on my pinky, and the sweet little gold studs are from Claires.

Random Swatches

Hey Dolls!

 

I've got some random swatches to show you guys.  First up is I Love Nail Polish What The Funk.  Glitters in a white base are a real weakness of mine.  What The Funk as large bright and dark green hex glitters, and smaller orange and green glitters in a milky base.  Yum yum.

 

I have been on the search for a soft peach polish for a while now.  Why are they so hard to find?  So when I found Peachy Keen by China Glaze, I grabbed it quick.  Application was a little tricky because the polish was so thick, (I've added a bit of thinner and it really helped). 

 





Next up is Clinique Yellow Genious.  This yellow is so beautiful, two coats was all I needed for perfect coverage.

 



 

I love this bright fuschia purple by Revlon.  Plum Seduction has the perfect formula, it could've been a one coater, but I did two for good measure!  My ring finger is Joe Starry, a really pretty silver with holo bits.

 



I picked up this Sally Hansen the other day for $2.00, I love a good deal.  Greige Gardens is a purple based grey cream.  I added some pink shards to the tips with Fing'rs Rose Gold Knock-Off.

 



 

And last but not least is Hard Candy Sweet Tooth.  Sweet Tooth as pink, blue and silver glitters in a milky white base.  I used a white base coat first for this swatch.

 

 



Revlon Heavenly

Hey Dolls!

 

When I'm polish shopping, I always pick up Revlon Heavenly, but then end up putting it back on the shelf for some reason.  I finally decided to just buy it, and I'm so glad I did.

 

I wanted to do a soft look with Heavenly, so for my base coat I just used a plain white polish by Wet&Wild.  I added one coat of Heavenly, and a top coat.  My pictures just don't do justice to this pretty combo, it is so much pretty in person!

 

 



Revlon Girly

Hiya Dolls

 

I've had these swatches of Revlon Girly for ages now (look how pale my fingers were).  Finally sharing it, better late than never!

 

 

Girly has peach, pink and purple multi-sized glitters in a milky, jelly pink base.  I used 3 thin coats here.

 

Did any of you girlies pick up Girly?!





Twinsie Tuesday Skittles

Hi Dolls

 

It's Twinsie Tuesday again! This week we are doing a something different on each nail.  I cheated.  Whoops!  I did something a little tiny bit different on each nail, I was supposed to do a different 'technique' on each nail. 

 

 

The pink base is Revlon Pink Chiffon.  I dotted the flowers using a bobby pin in Revlon Dreamer and Minted with silver centers Sally Hansen Celeb City.
