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?

I had a fight with a razor

Sometimes I just love wearing nail polish.  It's like a cup for your crotch nails ... a nice layer of protection.  Please let me demonstrate.

Have you ever gotten out of the shower only to discover that sometime between shaving your legs and washing your goodies that you have cuts all over your fingers.  LIKE WTF. 

Exhibit A : Pre-shower

oooo yay! pretty and smelly :D

Revlon - Cotton Candy

You can see more of this pretty baby here.


Exhibit B: Post-shower

Observe the pointer.  Damn! I hate when this happens because there is nothing worse than taking off a slice of nail mid way down.  











However, tragedy was averted.  When I took off the polish the nail was completely intact. 

Reason # 3,348 why I love <3 nail polish :D
