Hello ladies,
I was in a springy mood this weekend so I decided to wear a girly pastel from Revlon called Gum Drop. This polish was apart of the scented collection Revlon released last year. I actually liked the scent of this one, sweet and sugary, like candy :)
lamp light
Although it is a pretty shade, it took 4 coats to reach opacity and smooth out any streaking. Worried that it would take forever to dry, I grabbed Seche Vite for my topcoat and it dried perfectly!
The actual colour is a light lilac leaning blue, simular to China Glazes Light as Air, but brighter. I actually like how this one isn't to stark, the formula wasn't quite a creme, not quite a jelly. And although it took 4 coats to build up the colour, the end result gave amazing depth.
I wore this polish to my second trip to the U.S, I took some pics in the car with my newest coach bag :)
I wore this polish for 4 days and started to get some chipping on my thumb nail by the end of the 4th day. I could still faintly smell the scent also. I had wanted to do some cute nail art with with the colour but I couldn't make up my mind! I ended up doing some nail art that I didn't like and eventually took all off and painted over lol.
Another car photo, this time with some yummy snacks :)
Over all I really love this colour, I would really like to wear it under China Glaze's Cracked Concrete (it's in the mail, wooot!). I actually purchased a back up of this shade also because I liked it so much, I had originally first tried it on my toes. I kept telling my boyfriend to smell my toes lol
Do you like the Revlon scented polishes? Which is your favorite?
So cute! I´m not crazy about lilac, but I liked it. It´s really springy!
ReplyDeleteMy fav is always Not So Blue-berry. I don't mind the scents, I think it adds something fun to the polish
ReplyDeleteI just picked up 4 or 5 of these too and I agree with Halifax - the blueberry is really nice.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any revlon scented, they weren't released here, but this one is very pretty
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous and I would love to smell it - candy! Mmm. :) I don't have any of them for now... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies :) I have a few more scented ones from the collection, but not a lot.
ReplyDeleteHalifax - Everyone seems to love that polish! I haven't seen it in person yet, I'll have to take a better look at it in the store.
Une Ruxi à Paris - aww that sucks. I'm sure something similar will be released eventually
I wanted to start by saying I love your blog lol it's inspired me to do some fun things with my nails. What I was wondering though is how on earth you apply some of the lighter shades (which tend to have a thick and uneven application) so smoothly and you don't have any on your cuticles at all. I only buy China Glaze polish and I am in love with For Audrey but whenever I apply it it's just very messy and gets on my cuticles. I am ordering some of the Anchors Away collection and a lot of the colours I want seem that they will apply the same way. Would you be able to upload a video of you applying a colour such as this?
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks you're sweet. I will do a quick tutorial coming up this week. Look out for it :)
ReplyDeletewow that color looks great on you!
