REVIEW - Revlon Top Speed

My thoughts on the two Revlon nail polishes I tried out last week.
They were pretty bad. I love Revlon (especially their lip glosses) but their nail polishes are a total miss.
On the same day that I did my candy-land manicure, the polishes chipped. Since I had two different colours on my nails and they both chipped, I'm pretty sure it wasn't because I bought a bad bottle - it was the formula of these things. It is frustrating when nails cannot keep up with life (that peeves me!).
Today - they did not just chip, they peeled. I'm talking about the entire coat just coming clean off while I was in the shower.
If you want great quality drug store nail polish I'd go with trusted Rimmel. Don't waste your money!

NOTD - Have the cake, eat it too.

School starts and all of a sudden, everything (well most things) falls off the planet. My nails become stumpy short because I had a job interview and I've spent a while trying to grow them out!
All the girls on the bus with their nice polished nails made me a little envious and I caved today :) Hence this post in a very very long time.

I really couldn't pick among the new polishes I haven't tried so I chose two =P
The green is Revlon's Jaded (that I promised I would swatch) and the pink is Revlon's Pink Lingerie. They're both from the new Top Speed line.


Pink Lingerie is a mid pink creme that's bright without veering into obnoxious. It was pretty streaky going on. I'd definitely recommend three coats.

Of course...
the Jaded (pastel green creme) hype. I find these pastel green colours reminiscent of hospital scrubs if you choose one that clashes with your skin tone. I heard Minted was streaky so that's why I went with this one. I am not disappointed. It was opaque and streak free in two coats :)

I have at least three projects and a quiz happening either before or on Tuesday. Wish me luck!

PS - there has been no sun so the lighting sucks.
