Revlon Showtime

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Another NOTD today! This is Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy in Showtime. I have acquired quite a few of these Revlon polishes and I quite like them!

Showtime is a beautiful blurple (blue/purple) with small flakies and microglitter mixed throughout the polish. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Do you like the Colorstay Gel Envy line?

Revlon Sultry and Gold Goddess

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today's post brings you Revlon Sultry, one of their new polishes for the spring. This is obviously an Amanda color... look at the blue!! LOOK AT IT!! This was two coats, and it had a nice formula but it did have that "i'm a bright blue polish, so I'm gonna smell funky" smell. WHAT IS THAT?

Then I added one coat of Revlon Golden Goddess. I think this was LE, but I could be wrong. I can't keep track of all the LE polishes in Mount Polish, guys. I just can't :-p

I love blue and gold together, and not just because I'm from Michigan and like U of M (don't hate me, I actually don't care which team wins, they're both from Michigan!! I root for Michigan teams!)

Have you seen or tried either of these polishes??

March Operation: Helmer Results!

Hey guys!

How is everyone today? I'm here with March's O:H results. Let me just say that March was a complete fail for me in this challenge. I just did not have time to do my nails. The baby is mobile now so I'm chasing after her all day long, lol. But I managed to get 3 manicures in... for the whole month! Ack!

First, I used Revlon Tantalize, a pretty green foil-y polish. The color is lovely but I wish this were more opaque. I used 3 coats here.

Next, I did a pink ombre manicure, using 10 different polishes!

Pinky to Thumb:
Zoya Lux
Orly Rage
Pretty & Polished Liquid Gold
ILNP Cutie Pop
Sally Hansen Satin Glam Chic Pink

Thumb to Pinky:
NOPI Some  Hearts
Lavish Polish Cuppy Cake
Revlon Parfumerie African Tea Rose
Barry M Pomegranate
Liquid Sky Lacquer Raspberry Dawn

Finally, I did manage to use all China Glaze polishes for my last manicure of the month:

Budding Romance
Black Diamond
All Wrapped Up
Silver Lining

I wasn't sure how I felt about Budding Romance but I quite liked it with the blue!


So yeah, I majorly failed this month!

April's Helmer Drawer is Zoya and my untrieds bin, so hopefully I will be a little more on the ball this month! Although, we're 5 days in and I have yet to paint my nails. Sigh.

Did you use any untrieds in March?

January Untrieds: Revlon Cayenne and Wet n Wild Flossy Flossy

Hey guys!

I have a few untrieds to share with you today! So does Amanda!

Revlon Cayenne is a polish I received in a... swap? Secret Santa? I can't remember, honestly.

It's a tomato red creme. This covered very nicely in two coats and the formula was very good. I think this is the first Color Stay Revlon that I've used; I was impressed. 

 Then, I added two coats of Wet n Wild Flossy Flossy from the Fergie collection. This was very very thin; I did not care for it like I was hoping :-( I really am not a big fan of super thin polish. Which is a shame, because this could be very pretty, but honestly I was not in the mood to deal with it so I think I gave it away, lol.

January Untrieds: Revlon Brilliant Bordeaux and Ruby Ribbon

Hey guys! Happy New Year! Did you do anything fun last night? I stayed in and watched movies with the puppy and husband. We're old, lol.

Well, I am not sure what Amanda and Madeline have planned for January untrieds so I'm continuing with glitter until I hear otherwise. I have a lot of glitter! Haha.

I have two of the recently released Revlon glitters for you today!

Brilliant Bordeaux is on my index and ring fingers, Ruby Ribbon on my middle and pinky. I used to have a Revlon Ruby Ribbon but it was a burgundy matte polish.... weird.

This was 3 coats of each with no top coat. They were easy to apply, no dragging issues. 

I don't know if I love these.... Maybe thinner coats layered over something might make me change my mind but they are on the verge of going into the SALE pile...

Illamsqua Phallic with Revlon Midnight Sparkle

Hey guys! Did everyone have a lovely Christmas? I did. Spent time with family and ate lots of food :-)

I put off purchasing Illamasqua Phallic for a long time because... well the name skeeved me out. But I couldn't resist the gorgeous blue any longer so I finally bought it.

This is 2 lovely coats of Phallic, no top coat. The shimmer in this was much more evident in person.

Then I added an accent nail of Revlon Midnight Sparkle, which looks like it was made for this pairing!

Revlon French Roast with Lush Lacquer Thanks A Latte

Hey guys! Happy Tuesday. Did anyone get any awesome Cyber Monday deals? We got a few things and a few Christmas gift. Whoohoo! Yay for packages!

Today's post is a coffee-inspired manicure, lol!

Revlon French Roast is a warm brown shimmer. This was easy 2 coats.The shimmer in this was more evident in person, but I didn't have any sun. Boo.

 SHIMMER MACRO!

I added 2 coats of Lush Lacquer Thanks A Latte. The blue glitter in this looks awesome with the brown base, don't you think? 

GLITTER MACRO!

Revlon Sparkle Aplenty Plus A GIVEAWAY!

Hey guys!

A few weeks back, I saw a post somewhere (I can't remember, sorry!) that had a picture with a display of this polish. It had to be mine. So, a'lookin' I went! I finally tracked it down last week at my local Walgreens!

Revlon Sparkle Aplenty is from the single-shade Runway Report... collection? Is it a collection if it's only one polish? I don't know. Anyway, it's a black jelly with silver hex glitter and microglitter!

I used 2 coats here over Zoya Ray (Because that's what I had on at the time and I literally couldn't wait to swatch it over bare nails!) However, I think that this would still build up nicely in 2, maybe 3 coats on its own. 

And guess what! I bought one to give away! This will be a super flash giveaway that ends on Saturday so hurry up and share this giveaway and enter! :)

Revlon Moon Candy

Hey guys!

Did everyone have a good weekend? I spent the entire weekend watching the Olympics. Literally, I did almost nothing else! Sad, but true! LOL I swear, I need to take vacation for the next Olympics so I can stay up late to watch everything.

Today I have the Revlon Moon Candy Nail Art polishes to show you! There are lots of pictures so I'm just going to get right to it! All of the polish was 2 coats, unless otherwise noted.

Satellite is a plum burgundy creme. 

Supernova is a gray creme with pink flakies. 

Milky Way is a darker gray creme with silver flakies. 

Universe is a brown creme with yellow flakies. 

Cosmic is a yellow toned green with yellow/gold flakies. 

Moon Dust is a black creme with iridescent flakies. 

Galactic is a dark blue creme with blue flakies. 

Orbit is a dark purple creme with purple/blue flakies. 

I liked these but I didn't loooove these; in fact, I was a bit disappointed. The polishes were all easy to apply, no streaking issues. The flakies were a little underwhelming and several of the colors were really similar. I love Galactic, Moon Dust, and Orbit the most.

I used probably 1.5 coats for each flakie, and there is a visible usage line on the 'pen'. Obviously, it's a much smaller container than a standard polish. That shows you how often I use the same polish, lol.

These are available at Rite Aid, Walgreens, and probably anywhere else that sells lots of Revlon.
