Revlon Nail Enamel - #330 Naughty


I was finally able to polish my nails using Revlon's Nail Enamel in the color #330 Naughty.  I had initially posted about the color in a previous post, but I had not had the chance to use it at that time:  http://thehouseofdiva.blogspot.com/2012/10/revlon-nail-enamels.html

Once I was able to use it, I came to the conclusion that I really like the color.  It looks really dark in a dim lit room, but out in the sunlight, it was a very pretty purple!  I only wore it for a couple of days and then changed colors.  The performance of the brand was really good.  While polishing my nails, it went on smoothly and did not get too thick and goopy.  I used two coats and it dried quickly.  Over the few days that I wore it, I did not have flaking.  It seems to be a good quality product.  Please see my pictures below to get a feel of what the color looked like.  In these pictures, it is mostly dark, but like I said, it does look lighter in the sun light.

Pretty In Pink.....for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Well, I polished my nails with my new Revlon Nail Enamel in color #271 Extravagant that I previously wrote about in the following post:  http://thehouseofdiva.blogspot.com/2012/10/revlon-nail-enamels.html      

I was looking for a pink color to use in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I would like to show my support of all of the survivors, lost loved ones and their family & friends in any way that I can.  I know this is a small way of doing so, but I think any support is better than none. The pictures that I have posted look a little purple, but it is pink. In my opinion, it is bright and stands out in a crowd. I really like the color and have had a lot of compliments on it so far and I have only been wearing it for a couple of days.  

While polishing my nails, I noticed that it was kind of thick.  When you put it on, you have to make sure that you do not put too much on the brush because it will make a blob on your nail and at that point, there is probably too much to spread evenly without streaks.  It will make for a very thick coat, and will take a long time to dry.  That is what happened to me the first time around.  That was a bit disappointing, but I polished my nails all over again, and the second time was much better.  I did it pretty fast, and that is why they look a bit sloppy, but if you take your time, then I'm sure your nails will look marvelous!    


My verdict on this particular brand and color is that it is nice, and I will wear the color again.  It is on the thick side and I will remember that when I use it again in the future so I won't make a big mess of my nails.  Revlon has a great selection of other colors, so please visit their website to see all of the colors available.

Revlon Nail Enamels


Tonight, I was at the store and wanted to try to find a new nail polish by OPI.  The color I was looking for was "Every Month is Oktoberfest", but it was no where to be found.  They had just about every other color.  So, I will have to see if I can find it at another store.  I was told I could find it on Ebay, but I will keep looking at the stores around me before ordering from online.

So, since I could not find what I was looking for, I decided to keep looking at different brands and colors.  Well, I came across the Nail Enamel section of Revlon polishes, and there were coupons for $2.00 off a bottle right in front of the display.  As stated on their website, Revlon® Nail Enamel delivers gorgeous smooth, chip-resistant color to nails.  There was a big selection of colors to choose from in the Revlon collection that it was hard to choose.  I tried several colors on my nails before deciding on #330 Naughty and #271 Extravagant.  These two colors just caught my eye for some reason.  The purple gray #330 Naughty was very nice, and I think it would go good with a lot of clothes in my wardrobe.  I was looking for a pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and came across #271 Extravagant.  There were plenty of pink colored nail polish, but I really liked the way this dried on the one nail I that I test polished.

The description from the website:
  • Revlon Nail Enamel gives up to 10 days of lasting color & shine*. Revlon's exclusive silk-protein shield works to instantly help even out the surface of the nail while rising above color to automatically smooth away bubbles, streaks and brush marks.
  • Available in 72 shades
  • *when worn with Revlon Base and Top Coat.

I have not had a chance to polish my nails in either one of these colors (I only tested one nail in each color while at the store), yet, but when I do I will post pictures so you can see how pretty they are!  Hopefully, it will be real soon!
