I'm gonna live through my nails for a second

Dang, I seriously want need a vacation.  If nothing else at least polish can put me in that frame of mind for awhile.

Revlon - Tropical Temptation

Ahhh yes there it is.  Perfect color and a perfect name for my current needs.

It reminds me of Revlon - Make Mine Mango, except that I like it better.

This one is more peach pink, where as Make Mine Mango was more orange.  I would say the Tropical Temptation formula is somewhere in between a jelly and a cream.


This is in natural light on SHORT NAILS, lol thanks to THE FIASCO.


Oh and the long nail picture if you prefer :D

Base: Orly Ridge Filler x2
Color: Revlon Tropical Temptation x2
Top: Seche Vite



 





Kinda juicy in fluorescent light hu?

I hear a lot of complaints about Revlon formula, but I freaking love everything about it. 
I agree the formula can be on the sheer side (depending on the color).  Normally though I opt for either:

a.) 2 thick coats OR

b.) 2 thin coats with either
   ~undies OR
   ~2 coats of ridge filler
       (which is usually kinda whitish.)

Is there a polish that puts your brain on vacay?

    OMG, this looks awesome on you! But then everything does. ;)
    I'm wearing an orange polish today, also trying to summon something summery through my nails! (It doesn't work, it's still cold and cloudy, but at least my nails are awesome!)

    I have some problems with Revlon's formula, but not too many - certainly not enough to make me stay away from them! This is such a pretty peachy pink, it's perfect and summery!

    Ok...so your nails (yes, even the shorter ones) are perfect and you can magically make Revlon polishes look so dreamy, probably while splitting an atom with one hand tied behind your back...you have now officially converted me to wanting, no NEEDING to try those 2 Revlons in my stash that have just been sitting there! Love this colour, girlfriend!!! I want to eat it with a spoon; looks like gelato perfection!

    LOL that's because this was Tropical Temptation. Although, funny thing about Make Mine Mango. I bought 3 bottles and 1 was definitely an outlier.
