Quickies: Revlon Cotton Candy & Lilac Pastelle Review & Swatches

Somewhat recently, a reader asked to see swatches of Lilac Pastelle. ..So here it is -along with Cotton Candy! (I'm not really a fingernail polish girl -I only paint my toes.. and I can't stand the shape of my nails.)
Above (no flash) from left: Lilac Pastelle (3 coats), Cotton Candy (2 coats)

1. Lilac Pastelle- I've been wanting this shade for months now but it really didn't impress me as much as I thought it would. The color is a very, very pale creamy lilac/pink. You have to apply at least 3 coats to get it right -it was streaky.

2. Cotton Candy- This is a scented shade and to me, it smells sickly sweet. Cotton Candy is a very, very pale baby pink with pinkish golden shimmer. This is a nice natural shade but it was a tad runny to me. Also, I only applied 2 coats on my nail but I'd assume you'd need at least 3-4 coats.

  1. I have lots of revlon polishes too and for the most part, they do not apply very nicely, but the colours are pretty. I have these two and they are really nice.

  5. @ Justine.. I totally agree. I really love the shades of the Revlon polishes I own but they are a bit harder to apply.

    @ Rinz.. LOL I'm the same.. well used to be. I used to go out and get my nails done but lately, I don't even do anything! I buy polishes and never have time to do my nails. =P

    @ April.. You're welcome. =) Glad you like the colors.

    @ siwing.. Glad you like it!! =)
