Morning! I've just realised these polishes have very similar names, but are obviously rather different colours. I picked these up in Boots about a week ago and haven't got round to reviewing them yet; until today!
I'm a big fan of Revlon nail polishes and can't resist looking at them every time I go to Boots or Superdrug. I really need to get out of this pink and purple nails rut I seem to be stuck in because they're the only colours I seem to go to every time!
"Grape Fizz" comes from the scented range and kinda smells like grapes, but I'm not too bothered. In the bottle the colour is a deep purple shimmer with electric blue flashes, but on application it's very sheer and jelly-like. I tried it on my newly back-to-natural nails and it took 3/4 coats to become anywhere near opaque, so wearing solo isn't really an option for me. I smudged it before it could dry so I removed it straight away, but got a photo first, of course!
Don't get me wrong, I love this shade, but I will be wearing it over another purple polish so it doesn't have to be layered 4 coats thick!
"Grape Fizz" left, "Grapefruit Fizz" right.
"Grapefruit Fizz"
Again, another one of Revlon's scented polishes. This time, it really does smell like grapefruit and while wearing it, I couldn't stop sniffing my nails like a mad woman! It's a very pale baby pink shimmer, and again would probably need 4-5 coats to become anything like opaque. I applied this when I'd just removed my acrylic nails so there's a photo on my post about that.
The swatch above shows just how pale pink it is, but it looks fine on it's own as it would just add some shimmer to natural nails without looking too pink. You could even use it as a French manicure pink if you wanted a lovely shimmer instead.
I decided to swatch both polishes over a darker colour to show how they'd look if used as a shimmery layer.
Photo isn't great but you get the idea. I used Revlon's "Plum Seduction" underneath "Grape Fizz" and Model's Own "Pastel Pink" under "Grapefruit Fizz."
There we go! 2 more lovely scented nail polishes from Revlon.
Which scents have you got?
