Facets of Fuschia by Revlon

This was the IT polish last Autumn from Revlon, I wanted it as soon as I saw it on the Boots.com website.  The price tag of £6.99 put me off though, I don't like to spend that much on nail polish.  However after several trips to Boots just to stare at it, I finally succumbed and had to buy it.

Its such a shame then, that I was so disappointed with this polish.  The black undercoat is too weak, so you need at least three coats to make it opaque and the fuschia glitter polish just does not stand out enough for my liking.

Its hard to apply evenly as the large pieces of glitter seem to end up either all in one place on your nail or as I found, hanging off the end of your nail.  This was a problem after it dried as the bits of glitter chipped off. leaving small white marks on the ends of my nails, or ragged edges where the glitter had been.

I find with glitter polishes that its so hard to take them off, but I followed a trick I had watched on Youtube to remove this and it worked a charm.  You wrap your nails in a nail polish soaked cotton pad, wrapped up tightly with tin foil and leave for 10 mins (you do look a bit like Edward Scissorhands!).  When you pull the tin foil/cotton pad off, the glitter just slides straight off on the cotton pad.  Magic!  Sadly discovering this trick was probably better than wearing the actual polish.

Next up is Fairy Teal from Sally Hansen.
