I've held off posting Revlon Girly Nail Enamel for a long time - I think I bought it off of eBay back in January.Basically I wanted to wait until it hit UK shores before reviewing it to make it easier to source should anyone want to purchase a bottle.
If you cast your mind back to last Summer you may recall Nails Inc Sprinkle nail polishes launching?
Well essentially Revlon Girly Nail Polish is a cheaper version and an almost (emphasis on almost) dupe for Nails Inc Topping Lane Sprinkles Nail Polish - review link.
I would deem Revlon Girly Nail Enamel as a dusky but milky pink come lilac base that isn't quite jelly in formula but is pretty sheer, suspended within said base is various sizes of flecks of glitter in an array of pink, silver and purple tones. Unlike the Nails Inc version the glitter in Revlon Girly is not matte and reminds me of fairy dust...not that I have ever seen fairy dust.
It's sugary sweet and one for all the girly girls out there, I have yet to find a polish that screams "I'm a Barbie Girl" quite like this one does.
The thing with Revlon Girly is you'll either love or loathe it, I don't there is an in-between emotion for this shade. Being a complete and utter fool for all things pink and glittery this appeals to my inner magpie but sophisticated it ain't, it's just the right amount of tacky.
As I mentioned it is fairly sheer and for that reason alone I highly recommend applying over another pink polish or a white base for ease of use. I have applied it over Butter London Teddy Girl - review link.
Application wise it applies like every other glitter and is best dabbed on rather than brushed on as you would with any other polish.
A fairy dusted thumbs up from me but do let me know what you think!

So pretty, I really like the look of this. But I'm a sucker for sparkly and glittery nails! x
ReplyDeleteThis looks so pretty! Isn't there a blue version of this as well? Can't wait to check them out in stores :) xx

I think that may be Whimsical? To the best of my knowledge that hasn't hit the UK and I don't think it will be either which is gutting!
DeleteHi...The Sunday Girl do you want the blue version of this? Amie is correct that it's called Whimsical. I have an extra that I got as part of a nail polish birthday gift and of course don't need it since I already had it.
DeleteAlso...Hard Candy Cosmetics has totally revamped their nail polish line with duochromes, glitters & so many more but they've even added a more "budget friendly" version of the Nails Inc Sprinkles line. I'd be happy to send you a few along with the Revlon Whimsical...which is pretty commonly found here in the US.
Hey I would love that :) do you want to email me thesundaygirlblog@yahoo.co.uk and perhaps tell me some UK polishes you'd like or make-up for that matter and we could just do it as a little swap? Unless of course you'd rather have payment which i'm also cool with :)
DeleteLove the butter london base polish, such a pretty colour!

This looks so pretty x
ReplyDeleteI must admit it is pretty, but looks difficult to put on. I have a love hate relationship with glitter nail vanishes. May have to get back to buying and trying them again. Great post

ReplyDeleteAmazing glitter!

I have to go against the grain here and say I really don't like it! It has too much going on and (in my opinion) looks really messy. I think the glitter is far too densely packed to look delicate and pretty. x
ReplyDeleteI think the milky glitter trend in general is really a love or hate it thing. I really like the glitter in this, but I just don't care for the milky base.
ReplyDeleteI really like this, I wish they'd release the blue and green? ones here too! x

Hm, I think the base looks a little thick (or is it your application)? But I love the color combo for this glitter party!
ReplyDeleteI think the Nails Inc one is much nicer though it's still pretty! xx
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the Nails INC one more. This one seems a bit too gritty whilst the other looks smoother and pretty.

I love this polish! Most of the times I'm not that into nail art and stuff, but I can't refuse such a beauty! This needs to launch in Germany!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this polish. I ALMOST bought it the other day when I was in Superdrug, but refrained...for now. It will inevitable end up in (and on, har har har) my hands eventually!
