Revlon Mini Collections Cool set

Revlon recently came launched two sets of mini nail polishes and they are absolutely perfect!!! Nothing bout these sets is wrong...the size of the bottle, the color choice, and lastly the nail paint itself. Such a perfect way to try out all these cool summer shades :D

Color: Waterfall 
  • It is a mix of baby blue and silver/light blue shimmer which gives it a slight sheen or mirror like effect without being holographic or chromatic.
  • 3 coats to go opaque-No dragging, streaking or bald spots
  • Smooth consistency and the brush glides smoothly around the edge to wrap the nail with color
  • Top coat- Seche Vite
Color: Garden
  • A bright green apple green without being too neon-y or too light green
  •  2 coats to go opaque-a solid base color with no shimmer, glitter or pearly sheen.
  • No dragging, streaking or bald spots
  • Very similar to Orly Green Apple
  • Smooth consistency and the brush glides smoothly around the edge to wrap the nail with color
  • Top coat-Seche Vite 
  
Color: Sparkle
  • It is a small silver based glitter set in Clear jelly with a tiny mix of bigger hexagonal holographic glitter
  • Best used as a 2 layers of top coat for either of the colors in the set
  • 3 coats to cover most of the nail with glitter-4 thick coats for the nail bed to not show (Too long to dry)
  • Slightly thicker consistency but smooth application and dries rather quickly between numerous coats
  • No top coat

Blue-Away



Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue-Away. It's a sky blue color which doesn't seem too pastel-y like all the summer colors out right now. 

  • Very pigmented and was opaque in two coats.
  • Great consistency of formula and very smooth application, mostly because of the brush.
  • No chipping after 3 days but started to wear off at the edges which could also be because of Seche Vite as top coat which does shrink nail polish.

A nice blue which ranges between baby blue and neon blue! It's been really cloudy and windy here and everyday I look for the sun but end up with a cloudy sky...so here it is on my nails now lol

  • Not much holo effect but a very vibrant pink.
  • Need 3 coats for Essie Shelter Island to go opaque.
  • Application was smooth with no streaking.
