Whimsical

Hello lovelies!!!

In trying to get more into the spring mood, I've decided to put on something I bought a while back.  I'm not sure if it's going to work, sadly.  I bought Revlon Whimsical as I'd been lusting after the Deborah Lippmann Stairway to Heaven and I read some blogs that said it was a close dupe and since it was much more affordable then the DL I tried it out.

So as I said I've it a while and kept thinking about wearing it, but I just couldn't bring myself to since I just wasn't feeling the lighter colors.  Sadly my nails inc mani started chipping today due to bad top coat application by yours truly, so I thought I'd give it a go.

I'm not sure it really makes me feel Whimsical....

I think I like how it looks natural with a little bit of bling added.  But at the same time I dislike it for the same reason.  I feel like I should go to a baby shower wearing this, and I'm not particularly fond of baby showers. You know what I mean if you've ever been to one and you're not a baby person.  In the bottle this polish looks like a very pale blue cream base with light pink and blue hex glitter scattered about.  But as you can see once it's on the blue part of the cream base kinda goes away.  This is three coats.  Possibly layered over another shade it might stand out more.  But I'm afraid to get this much glitter to appear you'd have to put three layers over whatever base coat you chose.

Anyway I'm sorry if this post seems kinda down and out, but I feel like this polish bummed me out.  Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and like it more....but I'm not holding my breath.

Have you ever bought a polish that you were dying over only to be disappointed by it?  Let me know how you bounced back from it!!  Hopefully the upcoming holiday will inspire me to do something fabulous for St. Patty's day!

cheers! xx
