Revlon Nail Art Break-Up Review

I must be out of the loop or something because I was at Walgreens yesterday and saw the Revlon Nail Art Break-Up display for the first time. So I figured that they just came out with these nail polish duo's but come to find out that they've been around since the winter. Basically its a dual ended nail polish, where on one side its a regular color and the other side is a different color crackle top coat. Being the nail junkie I am I had to get at least one.


This little duo I picked up is called Lavish Lapis, I don't understand the name either but the colors are gorgeous. The base is a bright shiny teal and the crackle is a bright blue. 

Revlon Nail Art Break-Up in Lavish Lapis
(retails around $8.99)

The brushes are a little shorter than the brushes in the traditional Revlon polishes, but as far as width there the same.


 This is with 3 coats of the base color because the polish is very sheer. As far as application I felt like it was very easy to apply. I really love this color and wouldn't mind wearing it alone. 



After the 3 coats I applied the crackle top coat. For some reason the consistency was different, I found it to be a little on the thick side which didn't make for an easy application.



I'm not too sure if I like the overall look or not yet. If the crackle polish wasn't so goopy it might have crackled better. I'm surprised because I've always liked Revlon polishes because of the quality. It's not horrible but I doubt I would spend another $8 on another one. 


Have you guys tried any of these duo's yet, if so what is your opinion?

NOTD: CracKle -iN

I just recently (like a month ago) heard of this new “Crackle nail polish” The pictures I’ve seen with the Crackle polish looked really cool so I knew I had to try it. I went to Walgreens yesterday for something different and came across them. Then I saw that they only had two colors left, a red color and silver color. I bought the silver one that’s actually called “Fractured Foil”. I figured it would work over black nail polish.

So here I am, home about to give myself a DIY manicure with black nail polish and the Fractured Foil Crackle.  (I know, not very summerish), its okay bc I really want to try it out. I will post my results when I'm done for you guys to see.



So I finished my manicure and I really like the way it came out. I like how you can apply a thin or thick coat for different results, I applied more of a thin coat, I wasn’t sure what it was going to look like so I figured less the better. It also dries pretty quick too. I'm excited to try the different colors they have, looks like I have a new obsession of the week
