Revlon Nail Enamel in 430 Get Reddy

While typing this, I realised 430 and Get reddy rhymes!


I have been lazing around a lot lately, hence, no posts. I got this Revlon as a part of trio ( I got 3 nail enamels at the price of two).On a very unrelated note, our electricity bill is 3400 INR this month without using a/c and nobody has an idea how we managed so much! Maybe the electricity board doesn't want us to shop? Quite possible. This is the consequence of not living with parents, if only they could move with me where ever I
 went!

Faces Nail Enamel- Shanghai Shimmer

This is the first shade that I bought from Faces Canada. It is a pretty shimmer in silver. I picked up the bottle and the cap came off. I don't know if you're supposed to use it that way (just like L'oreal) or the cap was loose.You'll need at least 4-5 coats for opacity if you're just using the shimmer. If you're using it on top of a base colour then only one coat is enough.
There are two variations- 12ml bottle and 7ml bottle. The shades in 12ml and 7ml bottle are completely different. Shanghai Shimmer comes in 7ml bottle.
It is easy to work with and the shimmer is evenly distributed.

Brush: The brush gives an even and smooth application.

Price: 99 INR for 7ml
          199 INR for 12ml

The shimmer created different kind of shine from different angles.
Base Color: Maybelline Colorama Black

Lasting Power: It depends on your nails how long a polish will last and also on how much work you do. O my nails, tip wear started in a day( no base or top coat)  and with base colour it lasted for 2 days with no chipping.( I do house hold jobs and the longest any nail enamel has lasted is 4 days.)

What you see below is 4 coats of Shanghai Shimmer (alone) and two coats of black colorama with two coats of shimmer with no base and top coat.

Cons:

• Hard to remove it(when wearing it alone) but it left no residue behind.

Overall Rating: 7.5/10

Elle 18 Nail Pop Number 47- Swatch and Review

The shade reminds me of watermelon.In the picture, there is only single coat. On application of two coats, it darkens and starts resembling a watermelon more and more.As with every other Elle 18, problem is the brush which is short and stubby.I am doubtful if it even reaches any more than middle of the bottle. It will be harder to use nail paint after the quantity goes down the mid level. Dries up  quickly in about a minute.Less quantity so you can even dare to buy the shades you don't usually wear.



Price:Rs 45 for 5ml

Coats required: Two should be enough.

Cons:No ingredients mentioned on the label.

Pros:

•  Dries quickly.
• Price.
• Variety.
