Today I have swatched Revlon Wicked Star from this year's LE Halloween collection. To be honest, this was the Halloween collection I was most excited for this year! Crazy, right? Especially considering I only wanted two colors from the collection. The reason why I was so stoked about these Revlons is because they are absolutely gorgeous shimmer polishes. If you are new around these parts, shimmer is my FAVORITE POLISH FINISH EVAR. I don't know what it is, I just have a huge penchant for shimmers so these Revlons were right up my alley.
Revlon Wicked Star is a grassy green packed with awesome light green shimmer. This polish just absolutely glows. I am quite obsessed with it and I never want to take it off. I will of course, to show off some of my other polishes but if it wasn't for blogging, I'd probably keep this on for quite awhile. It's not exactly the most Halloween-y green but since it's in a Halloween collection, so I'll take it! Plus the name, Wicked Star? LOVE!
The formula, however, leaves a bit to be desired. A great shimmer polish will usually have a a thin and watery formula to help those layers of shimmer shine through but Wicked Star was a tint bit thick. I tested this out on a nail wheel first and realized that I would need to do really thin coats to prevent a streaky shimmer. Next time I use this, I'll probably add a few drops of thinner to ease in application. Honestly not that big a deal but I figured it was worth mentioning. For the casual polisher, this probably would have been an easy 1-coater but since I was photographing, I did two thin coats.
So here's 2 thin coats of Revlon Wicked Star. Enjoy!
What do you guys think? Have you picked up any of Revlon's Halloween polishes this year?

DeleteThis is pretty, but I don't think I'd pick it up for myself. I love shimmery polishes, but this looks just a bit too frosted for me.
ReplyDeleteIt really isn't all that frosty, I promise!! I think just my pics make it look that way.
DeleteThis is beautiful! I hope this collection is still available. Anything Halloween related I need ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get your hands on it, it really is a great polish!
DeleteHope you feel better Jacqui :) I love this green on ya but just a bit frosty for me. I was at Target just yesterday and they didnt have any :(

DeleteI tend to shy away from greens, but the more beautiful ones I see out there, the more I love green polish! This one is wonderful and it looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteGreen is my favorite polish color! Glad you're starting to come over to the dark side =)
DeleteIt's a pretty green; but it reminds more of Christmas green than Halloween green. I imagine a "Halloween" green being more of a bright vibrant green...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post!
I agree, definitely more of a Christmas-y green than a Halloween-y green =) Its definitely still pretty though!
DeleteI've passed this by several times at the store, but it's really pretty! I may have to give this one a try.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely give it a shot, you won't regret it!
DeleteI must go and check out the new Halloween collection. OMG! This green is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely check it out! Glad you like =)
DeleteThis is a really stunning green! The shimmers are beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! <3
