Scandalous is one of the polishes from Revlon's 2012 Expressionists collection and looks like it should be the perfect glitter to grace pale winter fingers because it's a vampy. Scandalous was released in the UK and US (I think?) as Facets of Fuschia and I've got no idea as to why it was relabelled. This polish is made up of fuschia/purple hex and microglitter in a semi opaque black base. Rather than building up multiple coats of this polish over bare nails I did my usual cheat and applied a single coat over my existing L'Oreal Mystic Blue base and it worked pretty well. What I'm unhappy about is the pallor of my fingers - the cold drained all the colour from them and they look pretty deathly here!
All pictures were taken in sunlight:
I believe this polish is now in Revlon's core line.
That's all for now.

Love a good vampy polish and this looks lovely on you :) I am pale all year round, so don't despair..
ReplyDeleteThanks Jas, we pale gals should stick together, haha! I was worried my hands looked too dead in these pics.
DeleteHaha I agree, my skin is that shade year round too! I've just learnt to embrace it. I've considered buying Scandalous a couple of times but always ended up getting a different colour instead. Maybe next time ;)
ReplyDeleteTry it! I'm keen to use two coats next time but I was pretty impressed by the effect of one coat of Scandalous :)
DeleteI think this was released as Facets of Fuchsia in a limited edition fashion at first, maybe? Because now I see it in stores as "scandalous," too, which is weird. They need to keep their stuff straight, because it makes it confusing :P
ReplyDeleteThat said, finally, one I own! I love this one but don't wear it that often because of the headache that is glitter removal!
Oooh, also! I wanted to tell you that I bought Revlon Gold Coin! :)
I think you're right. It's the dead-on dupe of Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance. I love both. Was so tempted to pick up the Revlon version just for the heck of it! Very nice, Vita. :D
DeleteYay Larie! Glad it's something we have in common - and enjoy wearing Gold Coin.
DeleteLiz/Larie - Ooh a dupe for Bad Romance?? I've wanted Bad Romance for so long. Glad to know I killed that one without even realising, haha!
Deleteso pretty, I can't believe I haven't used this polish yet!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to try it - it was better than I thought it would be with the glitter swimming in the base :)
DeleteScandalous is the prettiest purple glitter - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYay for purple lovers!!!
DeleteBeautiful <3 I wish we had winter right now, the summer is killing me :(
ReplyDeleteWe always want what we haven't got...I'm craving summer like you wouldn't believe, because I'm tired of the cold - and it makes me so hungry all the time too :-/
DeleteI love me a black jelly with glitter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bec - love how the glitter swims in the jelly base too!
Deleteoh my goodness i cant stop staring at these! such a stunner colour. love how it looks like it has heaps of dimension
ReplyDeleteThanks Tezza - I know what you mean. I think it would look even more dimensional with another coat (or two)!
DeleteYuuum, that is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela :) Vampy and glittery all in one's a winner!
DeleteI swear we are polish twins - I have picked up this bottle maybe 3 or 4 times only to put it down without purchasing it. Consider me enabled :D
ReplyDeleteDo it! You'll love this polish! I love the idea of having a 'polish twin', haha! :))
