NOTD - Revlon Minted

This is one of the new polishes from the Revlon Spring/Summer 2010 Collection designed by Gucci Westman, former international artistic director for L'ancome. This is apparently her first full collection for Revlon.

I have to say I am always a little dubious about green nail polishes... my hands have a slight pink tone, which can look a little, well, vomititious with green, especially pale green. This one is not too "green tippex" however, and works better than some I have tried. I can't say I am entirely sure this looks great on me, but I still like it...

While I wouldn't say this is a formal or work friendly polish, its definitely a fun colour, and although pastel colours can at times be a little temperamental, when done well they look relaxed and laid back - prefect for a BBQ... laid back day at the beach etc... *snaps self out of idyllic dreams about the summer she should be having, and focuses on the reality that she will be spending summer carrying boxes while she moves house... amongst other things*

 

Consistancy wise, this is a thin polish, which needs two-three coats to achieve "bottle" colour. It does wear well however, and the pictures above are taken after two days of wear. I'm impressed that there is no evident tip-wear.

I am a fan of the Revlon polishes and think that for the price (£6.29) they usually have trend concious shades which are slightly more sophisticated than many other ranges on the market.


Disclaimer - this product was sent to me for review purposes. As always reviews are honest, and based on my experiences and opinion... And I don't get paid for my reviews (Jeez - if I did do you think I'd be sat in on a Saturday night writing about nail varnish? No! I'd be out there drinking some sort of cocktail, possibly involving champagne) Always check as many sources as you can before making a decision about a purchase.
