I wore this manicure sometime last month and hated it! I really wanted to love "Whimsical", I seriously had high hopes for it, but NOPE!!!
It was thick, the glitter was hard to place, it was thin and needed a base color, overall disaster, so here it is in all of it's disastrous glory..LOL!
Revlon "Whimsical"
2 "sorta" coats over 2 coats of Revlon "Blue Lagoon"
I don't know if it was the "Whimsical" to blame or the "Blue Lagoon", or a combination of the two, but this manicure would not dry....so I took my un-happy butt to bed and woke up to THIS....
BUBBLES!!!!!!!! YUCK! I know what you are thinking, "they sorta blend in with the glitter, so it's not that bad?" :P...nope it's still bad!
The color is pretty, and I love the glitter in the bottle, but working with this glitter polish was a nightmare. Not worth the effort in my opinion.
Needless to say I took this off the next day! :)

Perfect combo, especially since they're both Revlons. Can't wait to try my Whimsical out.
ReplyDelete@Allthingsnails!- I hope you have better luck than I did, can't wait to see your pics :)
ReplyDeleteI have Blue Lagoon and it always gives me drying problems and bubbles. :/ It's a pretty combo though!
ReplyDelete@OliviaNobody- Ah ha! So BL is the culprit...mystery solved! LOL!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Blue Lagoon is a tricky bugger. Whimsical is sheer, true, but it's got to be since the Lippmann it's copying is. :)
ReplyDeleteOne word: jealous! Good call to put that over Blue Lagoon but too bad about the drying issues.
ReplyDeletei have whimsical as well and i think it needs more glitter. i played with it a little bit and on some nails i didn't even have glitter. i think ill try it with a base of white or even a baby pink.
ReplyDeleteI hated Whimsical...and Blue Lagoon is pretty in the bottle and it should stay that way lol. I love what Revlon is doing with colours lately but their polishes need to knock it off with the bubbles!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with this polish!
ReplyDeleteI did the exact same thing, Blue Lagoon then Whimsical. And on 8 our of 10 nails, I got the little bubbles too. I'm pretty sure it's Blue Lagoon and the shimmer in it thats doing the damage and not working well with Whimsical. I guess we'll see how Whimsical does over other colors, right?
