REVLON: I'm Electro

Pin It
Revlon I'm Electro

Come on ya'll gather 'round, gather 'round. It's time for story time!

Once upon a time Lacey went out to a Mexican restaurant for her birthday dinner with a few frenz. She may or may not of drank a few too many margaritas, because they're awesome, and found a 24/7 Walgreens on the way back to the car. After cursing their lack of the newest Sinful Colors collections she happened upon a brand new, sparkly, untouched Revlon Electric Chrome Collection inspired by the newest Spider-Man movie. A little out of it, she oohed and ahhed over the magical sparkle of these polishes she quickly grabbed the 2 blue polishes and was happy as a clam. While slightly not all there, she knew she didn't want to pay $7 for each polish, and there was no sale - she (probably slurring) asked a poor sales associate - and had to make a decision between Super-Powered and I'm Electro. She turned to her trusty, right in the head, friend asking specifically "WHICH ONE IS MORE UNIQUE?!" Thus, Lacey of Lace & Lacquers came home with I'm Electro and is swatching it for you today.

Can I just say I have a friend who has an awesome eye for polish? LOL After coming home and Googling swatches trying to determine if I was going to keep this polish o'mine, I discovered she picked the most unique and impressive in the collection. I'm Electro is a shimmery light aqua blue chrome that shifts to purple. I have a good amount of duochrome polishes and I don't have something like this. The most similar would be Barielle Jillian's Jammin', but that is more of a brighter aqua.

I did 2 coats of I'm Electro alone, plus 1 coat over black - as you can see above. I was shocked that I could get away with 2 coats! I was planning for at least 3 coats for full coverage, so 2 made me happy that it wasn't super sheer. As you can see there is a slight difference when layering it over black. The black makes the aqua pop just a little bit more. I prefer layering it on its own because there seems to be a bit more contrast between the color shift. Does that make sense? LOL. I would wait between coats if layering, otherwise no complaints here!


POLISH INFORMATION Brand: Revlon
Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
Price: $4+
Where to Find: Almost anywhere that sells cosmetics.

I'm totally in love with the bottle, that spiderweb! I might have to pick up the others IF AND WHEN THEY'RE ON SALE because Revlon is one of my favorite drugstore brands.

Hope you enjoyed today's story time lmfao.

Happy Friday!

Hey guys! I'm back into the swing of things, well kindaaaaa! Today I have 5 polishes to show you from Rainbow Honey's The Final Battle Collection. This collection is packed with all kinds of great and unique polishes! I think you should take a peek :]

Also, please bear with me for the next month or so. I'm trying to adjust to having a new environment to take swatch pictures in... so they might look different from post to post until I get it perfect like at my last apartment! <3 In addition, the new iOS7 camera update has me lacking all sorts of strategies and techniques that I'm used to *sigh*

YOU POLISH: April Subscription Box Review (Seaworthy, Pomegranate Ice, & Painting the Roses Red)

Pin It
You Polish April Polish Subscription Box

You Polish sent me her April Subscription Box to review! If you haven't heard, she is getting into doing monthly polish subscription boxes like Julep, SquareHue, ect. Here's what you can find in You Polish's monthly boxes for $16.99 (includes shipping):

1 Full Sized Special Monthly Custom (not sold in her Etsy store, only in the box!)
1 Full Sized Stock Polish (past or current collection polish)
1 or more "extras" (hair ties, candy, lotion, cuticle oil, polish, supplies, coupons, ect)

My April box looks a little different because I swatch all polishes she makes and these colors are all new for this month and this box. However, the above descriptions are what you will find in your box each month! After the jump I have swatch and review of all the items above :]
