Revlon Facets of Fuchsia

  I was lazy and unable to take pictures...

  This is Revlon Facets of Fuchsia.  I have finally learned how to properly spell the name.  I saw this a whillllllee ago and picked it up and wore it once late last year.  And I hated it.  Well, not hated it, but I certainly didn't love it.  I can honestly say that I dont really love it now either.  It was (in my opinion) too much hype for what it was...

  Facets of Fuchsia is a black jelly (well, kinda) with purple shimmer and glitter suspended in it.  It sounds good in theory, I just really did NOT like the formula.

  I belieeeeeeeve this is two coats.  Might be three, I really don't no nor care.  Hey, the good news is that my nails aren't nubbins anymore!!

Happy jellying,

Revlon Carbonite

  Hello blogopshere!  Want to hear a funny story?  I am extremely backlogged on posting.  Like 13 drafts backlogged...  And then there are those awkward moments when I have a beautiful manicure that lasts two days and I forget to take pictures of it...  Hate those days...

  But today, I've got a manicure from late February.  Revlon Carbonite.  This lasted like a few days on me.  Manicures on me = don't last too long.  But it is G O R G E O U S!  So worth getting!

I love how it looks gritty and grungy.

Here you can see it's dimentions.

Silver here.

Sorry for lack of cleanup but THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHY I LOVE IT!

  Carbonite is a well-known pretty much dupe for Chanel Graphite.  I love both colors and from not owning Graphite, I can't say whether they are real dupes or not.  Sorry :(.

  But it is this silver with gold shimmer and it looks like slightly rusted metal.  I am totally in love with it. If you see it, get it.  You won't be sorry.  This is two? three? coats shown here.

Revlon Whimsical

  I caved in, saw Revlon Whimsical at Ulta, and was like, "Yeah you're coming home with me."  So here it is!  I layered it over Revlon Blue Lagoon which is like a perfect match in color for it.  Because Whimsical has a milky blue base, it is best to layer it over any type of blue, but maybe a pink would work too.

Beautiful!

Sorry for the lines across the photo.

It would probably look amazing matte.

Milky.

Love it!

I apologize for a ton of photos...

  I know I'm not the only one that layered Whimsical over Blue Lagoon.  And I know I'm not the only one that ended up with bubbles.  Freaking bubbles.  It made me so unhappy :(.  Some say that it blends in with the glitter but no, it really doesn't.  Maybe it's Blue Lagoon that does that because I've had bubbles with BL before.  Like here.

  But it's all good.  And I still love it. :)

Happy glittering,

  So basically, it was a sans cleanup layering fest.  I just wanted to try random things out.  She actually hated the Blacklight/Jesus Christ Superstar combo so much that she removed it and put some other neon on instead.

  Hope you like the randomness!

Happy randoming,

Sinful Colors Black on Black (matte) and lookie what I found!!

Sha-bam!  Only a single one of the DL dupe was left.  Eek!

Oh yes!!

  But sadly, none (yes I freaking repeat NONE) of these beauties came home with me.  I hate it.

And here is the actual mani.  I couldn't find a cat so this heart must do.

I hate not having my lemming Revlon's...

Happy hearting,

Em
