Revlon Flirt and Revlon Girly (a match made in heaven?)

So everybody is raving about Revlon Girly... I bought this not too long ago and it sat in my untrieds until all of this hype... I had read that it was a bit sheer and thought it would look perfect with another of my untrieds (most of my polish is untried at the moment cause I am buying faster than I can slather it onto my fingers) Revlon Flirt. It is the perfect pairing

... absolutely perfect!

So this is Flirt on its own in two coats. I thought it would be a cute purplish pink. Its unlike any other color I own and I own tons of pink and purple, I love it!

(Not too much difference here between the first and the second pic except the second one has topcoat.)

This is one coat of Girly over the two coats of Flirt. I think this makes it look just like Girly does in the bottle... Its almost like they were made for eachother!

I love this pairing... what about you guys? What kind of combinations have you come up with or do you prefer Girly on its own? (I havent tried that yet... )

Revlon Coconut Crush

Ok, I love these scented polishes! Coconut Crush was a no brainer for me: I love coconut!

Even thought this looks pretty white, its actually off white. Its got just a bit of buttery color to it. This is three coats, they go on pretty thin and the formula is cuticle-flood prone so be careful! The coverage is much better than I thought when I was painting!

I did use a topcoat although maybe next time I wont because although a topcoat did not kill the smell, I bet it does dull it like it did with Raspberry Rapture. I LOVE THE SMELL OF THIS. When I smell this I am trasported back to Noosa Heads Beach. We used to rent a house on the canals for a week, canoe, swim, eat, and just relax. My favorite part was the beach (or the shopping) and there was a snow cone cart on the northeast side where I would get coconut snow cones everyday, the perfect treat in the heat. Le Sigh, this polish reminds me of how I want to go back now! For the rest of you without imagination it really smells like coconut conditioner... I guess. 

I'm ready for summer!

What polishes transport you away? Any that bring you to summer even on cold winter days like today?

Revlon Raspberry Rapture

Raspberry Rapture is one of Revlon's scented polishes. It smells kinda like candy and is a bit strong but after a topcoat the smell was a bit more muted and better. 

 I LOVE this color, I dont actually own much pink but this was the one I thought I would like the smell of the most, they have a super pretty blue... but it's like ocean scented or something and I dont really like the smell much. I have too much purple to buy the grape but I bet I would like that one more.
Back to the color, I thought it would be really hot pink but its a bit more on the red-ish side, it is definitely pink... its pretty true to the picture.

This is two coats with topcoat, it was a really smooth formula and very opaque. If you were better than I you could do it in one! The small clay flower is from a set I bought at Sally's beauty supply. It was cute and I thought it would go together with the color and smell; the smell lasted until the next evening.

I think I'll buy the grape... I dont have much Revlon polish but I really liked the formula of this one, PLUS they are one of the mainstream 3 free brands... so thats nice.

What do you think? Do you have any scented nail polish you like a lot?

Butter London Two Fingered Salute REVISITED

So this is a super short one I was supposed to post a week or two ago... I have had a hectic time lately, midterms, new employee, and a southern vacation.

I swatched Two Fingered Salute two posts ago and was unimpressed. My boyfriend's  solution? Apply a copper colored tip to enhance the subtle copper tones in the polish. Well after much debate I went with the cheapest option because it was an Amazon Prime item and I'd get it in two days... Revlon's Copper Penny is o.k. It looks very rosey in the bottle and looks kinda rosey on the nails but in some light it looks pretty gold. It applies very well, goes on smooth, coats evenly, and doesn't streak much (but keep in mind all I've used it for have been tips.)

I think if I found a shade of copper that I liked better then this mani would work. It highlighted the copper in Salute pretty well. Good idea boyfriend!

Let me know if you liked this idea, what else you would have done to Salute to make it pop and what other kinds of copper polish you like better!
