Revlon.. Starry Pink

***Hey!!  Go enter my 300 Follower Giveaway if you already haven't done so***

Happy Pink Wednesday!!  Today's post is just a quickie of Revlon's Starry Pink.  I know you've all seen this one a zillion times, but I haven't tried it yet, so... here it is one more time...

Revlon Starry Pink over LASplash Starfish Dream:

Starry Pink could have been worn alone, but I decided to layer it over Starfish Dream just to make the pink "pop" just a little more!  Above pictures are two coats of Starry Pink.  Of course I like this color because it's pink.. but I don't love it.  I like darker pinks much better.  Starry Pink is full of micro-glitter and larger silver hex glitter is a milky light pink base.  Starry Pink went on evenly (for a glitter) and it was pretty smooth to the touch unlike most glitters this dense.

HAPPY PINK WEDNESDAY!!

I'm excited for tomorrow's post!  It will feature my first DollishPolish's and I fell absolutely, head over heels in love with one of them!! :)

Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air VS. Revlon Whimsical..

Glitter in the Air was my first Deborah Lippmann polish.  After wearing it once, I was just kinda "blah" about it, so it's been sitting in my helmer for a while.  When Revlon released Whimsical, a so-called dupe of GITA, I wanted to do a comparison asap..

bottle comparison 

So, in the bottle right next to one another, they look like dupes to me. (Whimsical actually has more glitter, but the colors of the base and glitter are pretty much the same).

I gotta be honest, both formulas were such a pain to apply.  They're both runny and I had to dig and dig just to find some glitter.  Pictured above is 3 generous coats.  Both polishes have a milky blue base with pink and light blue hex glitter and small round silver (?) glitter.  I wish the base looked blue like it does in the bottle, but on the nail alone, it just looks... blah.

I didn't want to give up on these polishes just yet, so I layered them on Blue Me Away! by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear:

  

A little better, maybe??  Not much.  Trying to apply this glitter is like pulling teeth! LOL.  Here are 3 coats of both Whimsical and GITA over Blue Me Away!  The only difference between these two polishes is...Whimsical is just a bit easier to work with!! (and that's the cheap version)!! Blech, I don't like them.  I guess you could layer them over a nude or white, but they'd still be boring in my opinion.  So... my advice.. IF you must have one, just buy Whimsical and don't waste your money on this Deborah Lippmann..
