My Figs are in a Jam.

After such a letdown with my last manicure Revlon Fig Jam was a nice surprise!  This applied smoothly and was almost one coat.  The scent when it dried down was sweet like most of the scented Revlon polishes, but didn't really remind me of figs.
I was so happy with this color, it definitely turned out to be way nicer than I had expected.  I picked it up on a whim when it was in a clearance bin at one of my local drug stores.  It's peachy coral color has become one of my favourites for summer pedicures!

A tint of Desire

This is Revlon Just Tinted in Desire.  I love the Just Tinted line because they have a ton of color, but are still sheer and light.  The finish on the Just Tinted line is also really neat, they aren't matte, but they aren't glossy either. They are this weird suede-like in between that I just adore.



I actually stamped this manicure, but it's going to be awhile before I show my Konad skills on the blog.  Let's just say that it leaves something to be desired.

Starry Pink's Popular

For this post I am wearing Revlon Starry Pink.  This one has also been rereleased as Popular.  I can't say I love this color, but it's nice for what it is.  Maybe I don't love it because it doesn't really play well with my skin tone.
All I can think of when I see the name Popular is the musical Wicked.  I sang that piece as a chorale number back in highschool and it gets stuck in my head at even the mere mention of the word.

A Radiant Blue Mosaic

I have an incredibly funny story that goes along with this bottle of polish.  Although, at the time it was not entertaining in the least.  The bottle you are looking at is Revlon Blue Mosaic, which has since been repromoted as Radiant.  I used to own Blue Mosaic, now I own Radiant.  For once I am really glad a company rereleased a polish.

One morning I woke up and walked out into the living room to find a large puddle of blue goo on my mother's beige carpet. Apparently, since my darling dog had been left alone for too long, he (or she, don't know which) decided to go treasure hunting in my purse. I had left the bottle of Blue Mosaic in my bag just in case I needed to touch up a nail throughout the day. Buster (or Scarlet) found the bottle and destroyed it all over the living room floor. Needless to say, I spent the day on the phone with my Uncle who owns a Servpro tending to the mess.



This is what a bottle of nail polish looks like after one or two corgis have gotten to it.  I know, it's a horribly depressing sight.
