Revlon Not So Blue Berry

I've bought 4 bottles of Revlon nail polish last year, they all looked gorgeous in the bottles yet yucky on my nails...Just I when I was about to give up, I decided to give it one last shot...Who know that the auntie brand can look so pretty!


This is the lilac I was interested in (see my spy cam post?) "Not so Blueberry" in the Revlon Tropical Temptation Collection.

In the bottle, it looks like a shimmering lilac with teal iridescence, the iridescence shows if you have a sheer layer (still very pretty) but since the formula is so easy to work with, I built it on and it became so frosty and metallic, love it!


One thing special about this polish is that it's scented. (I've know enough to stick my nose away from my hand when applying nail polish so I don't care if it smells bad)Anna Sui nail color has a scent and I really loved it so I was skeptical of drugstore copycat that will turn the fragrant thing into a nightmare.

Luckily, Not So Blueberry has a fruity scent that's quite pleasant (and it lingers, even after a day with top coat)...I enjoyed sniff at my finger tips after using this.

This shade is so pretty under the sun, by the lamp, it goes with any lighting (doesn't glow in the dark though) ...I gotta try this on my feet sometime!

Another polish for the lilac lovers. Sally Hansen Hard as Nail Wild Orchid (?). It was a limited edition shade back in 2007 and I had to picked it up when it wasn't even on sale. (At 2 dollars something? Wow, that's so not me...)

Anyway, it's a cool lilac with a beautiful teal sheen allover...I used half a bottle already. Not that I love it so much and keep going back...

This is the sheerest nail polish I've ever bought in my life. I pretty much need 10 layers to get 50% of the color shown in the bottle...and needless to say, that waiting for that 10 layers to dry is a pain in the @$$, last week I finally managed to paint it over and over so the color at least show on camera...but the moment I put my shorts on and my hand touched the rubber band...the 10 layers of gunk are squashed...

I lost hope and decided to mixed it up with another bottle of Sally Hansen hard as nail (I do have a gorgeous jar of lilac shadow pigments, I am so not using that on this gunk Ok?)...You would guess beige matches everything right? Well, the final result was pretty disgusting, I got a sheer nude-y lilac that I had to throw away or it will become an eyesore.

Back to Revlon

Now I have a dilemma, since each of them is scented differently and there are some more yummy shades from the range...
I want more! (I am liking the 1,2,3,5 from the left...) Which one do you like?

Never mind, the rest looks pretty boring in real life anyway...Off to get more Wet n Wild!
