Revlon Nails Fashion Runway Collection Nails, reviewed

All right, here it is reviews of the nails, my sister declined pictures being taken.
Fie! But, here is what she had to say of them, she chose the same design as well though. They stood up well to dishes, cooking (including cookie making, which as you know is messy work at the best of times) and scrutiny from a friend who wears professionally done nails.

We both thought it was difficult to text, both having Blackberrys of the same model, I in fact chipped some of the silver 'chrome' off the stuff near the center ball with the nails. Massive misspellings and corrections lol. Being a gamer had to see how these did with my gaming macros, which are programmed buttons and how I could hit them (sometimes I have trouble hitting them my my natural nails get long) and with the crazy long middle finger length caused a bit of trouble, but nothing super bad, had to get used to typing with the longer nails, but was less of a nuisance then texting.

I haven't had false nails in years, so it was strange getting used to the feel, but the Revlon nails didn't have that super alien feel to them, they were quite comfortable. My sister said she only felt discomfort in her thumb and that was for just a day til she shaped it. Her removal was a good process, she said they just popped off for her and her natural nails only felt soft for a day before hardening back up. My removal was a tad bit harder, but my nails have always been a bit weaker.

What I would like to have seen more of though would have been more sizes for the pinky and a bit longer, my natural pinky was filed down super low and the false one barely covered it which was surprising considering how massive the middle nail was to all the others. When I made a gaffe with the pinky I was hard pressed to find another size for my pinky that I didn't have to MacGuyver with a file to fit. So more pinky and possibly index sizes please!

Basically, while long nails aren't generally my style I do love the way they look ,these Revlon styles are truly gorgeous and I enjoyed the fantasy of having perfect nails for a few days and would absolutely use the product again especially if there was a special event and I wanted to be especially decked out. Thank you very much Revlon for letting me try out your product.

Revlon Nails! Transformers 2 ROTF

Hello, doing something new, I was super kindly approached to try out and review some of Revlon's gorgeous array of Runway Collection temporary false nails, and they are super adorable.

They were most generous as well with the amount of designs to choose from, my sister and I are are both trying them right now for dual reviews so it will be a few days time time to have a proper review for wear etc!

Mind my pinky nail, I did mess up there and get a bit of glue on it and could not find another comparable size to replace it unfortunately.

But here's a quick pic! ^^ This design is called Sequins.

ZOMG Transformers 2 ROTF. Wow. Geekgasm. I can't even begin to go on about how much I enjoyed it, I could get nitpick-y and spoilery here, but I will not do either of those things. One word I will say, Constructicons! ZOMG!

Revlon Black Lingerie/Amour Brilliant Ocean Blue

I decided to retry the suggested french mani with the black tips with Amour's Brilliant Ocean Blue with Revlon's Black Lingerie, and it is so pretty. Turned out much lovelier than the Rainbow Hologram. Took a picture indoors and out, couldn't capture how nice this actually was. The metallic blue it turned the tips is so shiny and shimmers light blue as well in the light.

And outdoors.

Oh when I was going on about FFXI yesterday forgot to mention about how much I dig the RDM JA Composure, finally when they got round to giving RDM one it was decent. Eventually I'll post some of my geeky but cute screenies, if I can find em. lol.

Amour Rainbow Hologram/Misa Fatal Affair

Decided to try another of the special Amour's, this time Rainbow Hologram, I used for the tip Revlon's Black Lingerie. The whiteness of the polish turned it purplish. Rainbow hologram in itself is a pinkish white with iridescent glitter. I'd done full hands but had messed it up royally and wasn't bothered to start over. Rage! lol.

This is Misa's Fatal Affair, and I am in love. It is a gorgeous vampy deep purple with a blue shimmer, it is just stunning and so shiny irl. The blue doesn't translate super well in the picture. The formula was sort of thick though so it took an age between coats, but luckily only needed just the two.

Woof, I've Ride the Lightning in my head. Lovely! Jaunty tune ftw!

Mon Cherry part 2, CVS Haul,Max's Art!

Took another shot of Mon Cherry, because that last one was pants, just didn't look right! And...it's on the green metallic backdrop which for no reason find amusing.

Here's my CVS haul, click on if you'd like to see it larger.

Had to pick up a scrip and thought, wow excuse to peruse for nail polish. I got Poshe top coat, was cheaper than Seche, think it was on sale. Also one of the Sally Hansen Insta Dri's in Blue Streak and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Lime Lights, I adore that sort of shimmery green, it isn't always the most flattering but it is so cute!

What all else, oh a replacement mascara. Had meant to do a review of Max Factor's 2K Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper saturday and that afternoon before snaps were made I fell prey to the pink eye that'd been going round the house, no amount of hand washing and Purell action worked. I thought I'd evasion +1 too. lol. So I had to toss that mascara, was going to rep it but saw this new Revlon mascara called DoubleTwist. The wand is interesting it looks like a combo of a bristle brush with the newer soft plastic style intertwined. So looking forwards to trying it once I'm sure the conjunctevitus has cleared completely. Not fun, I can tell you! First time in all my years I've ever had it. Not a fan! XD

Oh, and I promised my nephew to feature his artwork, and here is the little charmer with a picture he drew of his favorite wrestler, Jeff Hardy, replete in face paint. He's got a few more that are fantastic of Hardy as well ^^

Max is standing in front of my nerd nook. *^^*;

Revlon Mon Cherry Scented Polish

Finally got around to trying Revlon's Mon Cherry, faint cherry smell here. Not entirely sure that I'm keen on the shade, think it is more of a pedi one for me. This is just missing some pop, it's nice though. Oh, sorry for another half moon mani, but when my nails are long it is all I can do to not rock a half moon mani. lol. Might retake the picture again tonight, it is all wonky.

Blech, raining up a storm today.

My bottle of KO Liberty is on it's way, so says the email. Can not wait for this one!

Because of that purchase have made it a no buy this month, unless I find those new Sally Hansen Insta Dry new shades! Must resist. Must resist.

For fun thought I'd put a video in this post, one of my fav. HorrorPops songs, 'Where you can't follow' ^^ Love that Patricia Day, she's amazing.

Petite Haul,Mad About Mango Polish, Smith's Lippy

Humming, coming atcha. Or something.

Righty, here's Mad About Mango, another of Revlon's scented line. I was surprised how well I liked it on, it pools a bit, but more fault lays with the fact of my application, must try and master applying above instead or right down in there. The scent, well it smells like any and all kinds of Hubba Bubba gum, ever, stronger than Not so Blue-Berry that's for sure. ^^

Here's my petite Nyx haul, three polishes that came in a box that could have shipped twenty, lol. These are gorgeous.

From left to right is Titanic,Purple Avenue and Asphalt. I'd had to have Asphalt after seeing swatches, anything black and with any hint of rainbow I must get my greedy mitts on.

Decided to try on Purple Avenue first, it has this amazing large chunky holographic glitter, reminds me of some Nfu Oh's. I'm wearing three coats and it gives this light flush of purple to the nails, I like how subtle it is. Bet this would be forgiving if you chipped it. Also this would make a dead lovely top coat. But I do recommend a clear coat over it, not from lack of shine but that not all the glitter lays flat, it is more of a bumpy texture.

Lastly, have to go on about Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm.

I didn't take a picture inside, because the pot has seen a lot of use and you don't need to see that lol. Horrors! But I must say how lovely it feels, there is a hint of peppermint that isn't over bearing and rose oils. The shade is a reddish pink that goes on quite sheer for just a tint of pink, it moisturizes and is glossy. Lips feel very kissy in it. (Is that a word? XD) Highly recommend it!

Not So Blue-Berry polish

Meant to post this yesterday. Not So Blue-Berry indeed, it is definitely more on the foil violet side. Hmm, need a new background for pics, that shiny green is getting kinda blech and I think well clashes with most of the things put up against it. lol. Scent wise, this one is very faint even whilst applying; I'll take faint, better than cloying or chemically smelling any day!

Scented Raspberry Rapture Polish

Righty, here's Revlon's scented Raspberry Rapture. (reminds me of my mum saying raaahhssssspberry) Pre clean up shot because there's more to try on! (boing /call 19) Mad about Mango is calling my name. Just remembered they didn't have any of the Pretty in Papaya left. Oh wells, that was more than a fair share of haul. lol. Onto the scent, it is just this side of candy raspberry scent, I quite like it. The scent isn't super heavy or cloying. Really strong when applying it however, but it dries down to be quite nice. You aren't wafting it around but it is a pleasant whiff here and there. Can't wait to try the others both for shade and scent.

Not quite sure what I rotted my middle finger on, but owch, maybe a paper cut gone awry or something.

Zoinks, Revlon Scented Polish Locked and Loaded!

Guess what I finally found in stock. Oh, it's tharr in the title,innit? Oh well. I found them, the wicked scented Revlon collection and I must say they are foxy as all get out. Click on the small pic for a larger one.

Boing! I really like Mad about Mango, for trying first it is tied between that and Mon Cherry. Not So Blue-Berry is toes bound. lol.

I really need to be on a no buy, that was just woof.
