Hello lovelies!
I have a spam post for you all today. I'm hoping to pop into town before work on Saturday to look at cameras. Hopefully I leave JB Hifi with a brand new camera, then I can get started on brand new content!
In the meantime I'm dipping into my folders of swatches I've accumulated, so without further ado, I present...
Revlon Swatch Spam!
Raspberry Rapture
, 2 coats.
, 2 coats.
Impossible to photograph - pictures this less orange, and more of a classic raspberry creme. Not unique, but it smells amazing!
Fire Fox
, 2 coats
, 2 coats
I absolutely love this. Its true potential is revealed when you add top coat, but alone it is still gorgeous, and feels really sophisticated on.
Moon Candy - Cosmic
, 3 coats of the base, 1 coat of flakies on accent nails.
, 3 coats of the base, 1 coat of flakies on accent nails.
I'm not sure about this colour combination together, but the flakies are gorgeous. The colour shift is very similar to China Glaze Luxe & Lush.
Slipper, 2 coats over Maybelline - Racing Rubies, 3 coats.
I adore this combination. I loved Scrangie's layering combo with Chanel Rouge Noir here so I wanted to pair it with a darker red too. This looks so glowy and awesome!
Apricot Freeze [Glimmer Gloss], 2 coats over Australis - Citrus, 3 coats.
Man, I love the two Glimmer Glosses I have. They don't seem to get enough love in the blogosphere. Over black they are pretty freakin' amazing, and they're a cute bit of sparkle over a matching base colour too. I don't know how easy these are to find outside of New Zealand now, but here they can be found at Cosmetics Plus stores for $9.90 (from memory).
Grape Glimmer [Glimmer Gloss], 1 coat over Australis - Peek-A-Boo, 3 coats.
Oh my goodness. Look at that shimmer. It's to die for! I want to layer this over everything.
Splash? Or possibly Midnight [Streetwear], 2 coats.
Great formula and opacity, but I'm not such a fan of blues or frosts. This went to a loving new home with Dana of Polished Claws Up.
Very Currant, 2 coats.
I'm not sure old this is, but it was a thrill to find a polish with an old Farmers price tag still on it. I don't know why I find that exciting, but I do, haha. A very pretty glowy colour, but I felt like I had others that were very similar, so this was gifted to Dana.
Peach Smoothie, 4 coats.
This is so pretty. I don't know how much it suits me, but I'll keep wearing it anyway! The gold flecks really make the polish, and this is another of Revlon's lovely scented confections.
Orange Pop, 3 coats.
So flattering, and it smells awesome too! Revlon really does scented polish well. This was a gift from Dana :)
Moon Candy - Galactic
, 2 coats of the base colour, 1 of the flakies.
, 2 coats of the base colour, 1 of the flakies.
Man this is cool. The base colour is a deep blue jelly akin to Color Club's Blue-Topia, and the flakies are just divine. They are sparse, but I quite like them that way. This gorgeous thing was also a gift from the very sweet Dana. I hope these are released in New Zealand. I really want the grey duo with silver holo shards, and the purple duo too.
Belle
, 1 coat over Jordana - Boy Oh Boy, 2 coats.
, 1 coat over Jordana - Boy Oh Boy, 2 coats.
This is such a cute, albeit not unique, top coat. This is identical to Revlon Sparkle (which was being sold in mini bottles at NZ pharmacies recently) for those who were wondering. I had both, but purged Sparkle after I bought Belle. I had to have Belle because it is the name of a friend's sweet daughter that I used to babysit in Hamilton, I miss them both so much.
Royal Cloak
, 2 coats.
, 2 coats.
Check out those divine silver flakies! Such a gorgeous polish, great opacity too.
Blue Lagoon
, 4 coats.
, 4 coats.
Poor Blue Lagoon. What a rubbish swatch of a gorgeous polish. As you can see, I was running out of daylight, so the beautiful glassfleck shimmer is hard to see. I really need to sort out a lightbox. Formula was tricky and prone to cuticle flooding on this one, but worth it.
Sunshine Sparkle
, 4 coats.
, 4 coats.
Super gorgeous colour, but check out those lobster hands! Eek. On a side note, why can't my nails be that long again? :'(
Scandalous
(Facets of Fuchsia), 2 coats over Santee Plus - Black, 1 coat
(Facets of Fuchsia), 2 coats over Santee Plus - Black, 1 coat
This is an older swatch, from before I found a spot I liked taking photos in at our new house. Yuck!
Crystal Ball, 2 coats.
I'm still not sure whether I like this or not! In the bottle it's awesome, but on me I think it looks a little dated and unflattering. This is from the Prismagic collection in 2003, but seems to pop up on Ebay now and then.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day :)

OMG Peach Smoothie! That shimmer! Holy cow! I need! I'll keep my eyes open for the other Revlon flakies you're looking for, I haven't seen a display in a while but I'll keep looking! Revlon Cloak is freaking amazing! One of my fave polishes from last Fall!
