RevlonJustTinted-bottle-spread
Revlon released a line of four extremely sheer, berry-colored jelly polishes that pretty much “stain” your nails. They call it a “tint” though. It comes with four matching lip stain/balm combo collections called “Bitten”. This entire shebang has a very Twilight theme, and it doesn’t help that Jessica Biel does this commercial for Revlon’s lip stains, where she looks at the camera and says, seductively(!) “Have you been Bitten?” right after making out with a smoking hot guy that looks suspiciously like Edward.

SO! I found this line interesting, albeit not for me. I had to slap on fake nails because my real nails are STAINED and just looks gross under sheer polish. Thanks random green polish I tried on a few weeks ago. Ugh!

All the polishes are at two coats, but I’ve demonstrated some at one coat just for sake of research. They dry to a very satiny finish, definitely soaking into your nails. I really had application issues, it’s hard to even out sheer polishes and jelly polishes and when you combine the two… well.. I tried my best! It definitely builds color the more coats you go.
If the “stained”/matte finish is not for you, well, luckily Revlon also released a special shiny topcoat that gives them this wet luster that’s pretty attractive.

Let’s start with the finish. This is Victorian, at one coat and dry.

You can see the “tinted” effect Revlon was talking about.

Victorian-TwoCoats
This is at two coats. Victorian is a berry pink- between purple and pink.
Victorian-Fingers
It does kind of look nice with my skin tone. Too bad these aren’t my real nails! LOL.
Victorian-TOpcoat
With the topcoat. You can see the juicy finish that’s happening.

Looks wet! I’d be afraid to touch them for days 😉

Mystical
Mystical is a dark berry– I’d say it looks grape.

The topcoat definitely lightened this color up some.

Desire-Bottle
Desire is a bright pink.

I liked this one a lot.

I can’t get over the juiciness! It’s just an interesting finish. Jelly polishes are usually wet looking or “shiny” but this topcoat takes it a bit differently.

Dawn-Bottle
Dawn is the most different from everyone– it’s a peach!

With topcoat. I love it, it looks like a tangerine color.

Yes, that’s right for the price of One Pink Wednesday you get THREE! 😉
(Is it obvious that it’s just me trying to catch up on my backlog? Ehh.)

Apologies for the terrible lighting 😦 The stamp was a semi-fail too.
Base color: OPI Sparrow Me the Drama (another lover for the name! hah!)
Stamping Color: Wet n Wild Black Creme
Stamp: Konad M59

The next week, I took out OPI Strawberry Margarita. It’s a bold, vibrant almost-honeysuckle pink creme, and layered that with China Glaze White Cap from their Anchors Away Spring 2011 collection.

At first I couldn’t decide if I wanted it all matte, or glossy. So I tried an accent nail and then decided…

PinkishGold_Matte
All matte! Hehe.

And now for my final look…
RevlonLuxeLaque
For this one, I began with a coat of Revlon Luxe Laque, a dusty mauve-ish pink creme. It’s not on the range of Pepto Bismol, nor Barbie, but leaning towards almost pastel.

Then I layered Luxe Laque with Wet n Wild Hannah Pinktana, a scattered holographic glitter suspended in a clear base.

I think they go together nicely 🙂
