Another orange NOTD: Revlon - Tangerine

Hi again!

I've been absolutely revelling in my orange obsession lately.  It's such a fun colour and happens to be in fashion (bonus!) so I've been wearing it at every opportunity - clothes, makeup and of course nail polish!  Tangerine is from Revlon's 2011 summer collection, Summer Romantics and I adore the colour.  This is an actual juicy, citrusy orange shade with just a hint of golden shimmer. 

I did have a gripe with the formula though - it was patchy to apply so I needed three coats of colour to make this look fully opaque and even.  Worse still it bubbled on me so I had to apply a few layers of top coat to disguise those pesky little bumps.  Worth the trouble?  Personally I thought so because of the wonderful colour but if it wasn't a unique shade in my collection I'd probably toss it out based on the troublesome formula.

Oh well, here are loads of pictures -

Until next time.

  3. Oh this is such a pretty orange, but I hate it when nail polishes bubble up.

  4. This is absolutely stunning! I've picked it up so many times at the store but never actually gone through with buying it... thanks for the info on the application issues!

    1. I always feel bad reporting on problem polishes because there's always the risk I just happened to get the bad bottle, batch, whatever. Agree with you about the colour though - I was wild about it!
