Don't normally do haul posts... but thought I'd throw this one in :)
I don't get manicures cuz I'm too cheap, and I normally don't paint my nails.. but lately I've been wanting to sport some pretty pink nails. My sister recommended Essie, but because there are so many Walgreens near my work I always browse and I saw that Revlon was having a BOGO on the nail polishes! So I got 4 for $10:
2 coats applied:
Verdict: I like them all!! Like I really really like 'em! The Sheer Petal is the hardest to apply evenly, and works best as a top coat. The peach is nice is you want a whiter, matte color, and the pink chiffon is nice if you want a glossy pinky color. The Sheer Petal layered on top of the Pink Chiffon makes for the perfect nail in my opinion. Tropical Temptation is SOOO easy to apply, and glides on so smoothly. And you only need a teeeeny tiny bit of polish, so the bottle will last you forever. I plan to use it on my toenails and not my hands, but for swatching purposes I put it on my hand. As for staying power ~ don't ask me. I've had expensive brands like OPI and Essie come off in a matter of days because I'm really hard on my nails (doing dishes, filing at work, clumsiness...)

It's super frosty. Don't wear it during the daytime. You'll look like a tramp.
yay, i get to be the first to comment! :P ooh i love all those polishes, and what a good deal! i am so lazy too most of the time when it comes to my nails, and i hardly ever get manicures or fake nails bc im too cheap too! btw i love how harmonica looks on you, but i agree, its really frosty, too frosty for me..but you look great! love ur pics :)
ReplyDeleteI love this: "don't wear it during daytime, you'll look like a tramp" it made me think of your twitpic "jerseylicious" ahhahahaha so cute!!!
ReplyDeletewalgreens is so evil sophia.. i always get sucked in by their drugstore cosmetic sales *sigh* especially where you work!! i'll come by for jamba juice or a kimchi burrito from johns deli and i'll get sidetracked. but your nails aren't too shabby for someone who doesn't do em!
p.s. if you ever do get more into polishes, Zoya makes a gorgeous ballerina pink called "Stephanie" it's the one i wear the most ;]
OMG! thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteI need to stock up on that pink chiffon~ it looks darling<3 And you have such nicely shaped hands and nails^_____^
XOXO
Miss. P
LOVE the colors babe (; Harmonica looks amazing on you! BTW i replied to your comment on my blog just so you know hehe (;
ReplyDeleteI think I actually have the Sheer Petal... I tend to gravitate towards the sheer colors because I don't really like the shape of my nails (they're wide and stubby). That way I can still wear polish and feel girly and feminine without having them stand out too much (plus I suck at painting my own nails lol).
ReplyDeletelove tropical temptation :)))
ReplyDeleteI would like a lipstick in that color :)
i love peach petal. very cute colours.
ReplyDeleteLOL! "You'll look like a tramp"
ReplyDeleteI want those new Revlon polishes that came out!! Only thing is it's scented. O_O I wonder what it smells like.
cute pictures! love pink chiffon :)
ReplyDeleteyour nails are lovely, sophia ^__^
LOL oh Sophia, you never fail to crack me up!!! Hahaha "don't wear during the daytime you'll look like a tramp" That's okay, there are somethings I will only wear for camwhore purposes too ;D
ReplyDeleteYour nails are super pretty!!! I like tropical temptation, it reminds me of a hot summer polish!
I'm totally too cheap for manicure too, plus sometimes I am secretly scared of those tools they use on you! Eeep!!!!
oh so pretty~~ i love the peach petal best!! :3
ReplyDelete^Serenie~ I want the other new ones too!!!! The Peach Petal is the only new one they had left.. I want the mint green and that lilac but they were completely sold out! I'm totally gonna hunt it down at other Walgreens..
ReplyDelete^ Mary ~ OMG I was thinking the same thing I want a l/s in the Tropical Temptation color too!!
ReplyDeleteheheh I love your nails & hand modeling camwhore pics! lol :P wow, these Revlon polishes are sooo pretty!! I LOVE all the colors you picked out!! ^_^ I especially like the Peach Petal and Pink Chiffon!! such darling colors!! Such soft, muted, elegant girly colors! :) *sigh* i guess I will have to go into Walgreens just to "look" hahah xD
ReplyDelete♥ caroline
I have the pink chiffon and like it =)
ReplyDeleteThe Tropical Temptation is really pretty!
I'm going to have to buy that one. ;P
Haha I wish my hair would always look voluminous and mature, but I didn't do anything to it and it does it randomly o_O When I intentionally mess with it, it stays flat. I've figured out the key is not combing my hair LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like the halo effect of nudy series but they don't enlarge much. That's why I love Angel Wing so much ^__^
I honestly can't thank you enough for sending me such a sweet gift at a stressful s;dSLD:FJF time. They're absolutely AMAZING and I'm pretty much addicted to them ahahaha *wear them everywhereee*
D: I'm halfway through college! The real world is ultra scary ... unfortunately I'll be schooling for another 6 years before residency T__T .. You poor thing all working and stuff. Goodness, you're so mature. Those 2 weeks are well spent enjoying life though, and you make sure you do that !! ^__^
SUPER pretty nail polish colors!! I barely do my nails too, just when I feel like it. ^^ I misses you Sophia. :) About my hair, I'm like DYING to get it back to black, or dark brown or whatever... Hahaha, its a cute color but it doesn't go with the colors I want to wear. :( Besides black. Gotta wait TWO more months (July) my birthday :D to change it...:l yep. :) I hope everything is well! & your gorgeous in all your pictures, LIKE always. <3
ReplyDeletehehe I use revlon tooo!! <3 I also don't get manicures and pedicures cuz they just come off after a few days, so yeah I'm cheap like you as well I suppose, no, were just financially friendly :D not cheap! financially friendly!
ReplyDeletewoww i love these colours. so soft and pretty :)
ReplyDeleteHey Sophia, nice picks for polish colors! That coral is lovely for warm weather and I have something similar to your Sheer Petal, love it :) haha when I wore a pale pink on my lips my bf said I look "ghetto." I still wanna try out Ramblas.. and also this place called B44 in Chinatown. My mentor/professor who's from Spain recommende B44 to me, here's the place if you're interested too! http://www.yelp.com/biz/b44-san-francisco

mmm! :) for the most part if you use primer, it's all good they're pretty darn pigmented. i'll do some swatches later for you. my kodak sucks though (bf took his baby home) so it may be a little off colour but i'll try my best :D
