Revlon Whimsical


Revlon's Whimsical is the less expensive dupe of Deborah Lippmann's Glitter in The Air

I saw the Deborah Lippmann one in Murale but there were no price tags so I passed on it. Then internetland started showing off this super cute shade by Revlon and I had to have it!

It's a bit of a disappointing colour because of it's sheerness but it would layer pretty over pastels. Whimsical has pink and blue disc glitter with holo glitter and irridescent smaller sparkles in a sheer milky blue base.

I swatched it over Sally Hansen's Inta-Dri Whirlwind White and as you can see from my picture, the white is still pretty prevalent even with 3 coats layered on top.

It reminds me of candy. I LIKES IT! The hardest part of this nail polish is telling yourself you kind of have no control over the glitter and let them lay as they will, sparse or not. The first coat gave my pinkie 3, but more coats = more glitter, so keep packing that stuff on :)

And excuse my poor mangled looking cuticles and ragged ass nails. I work in a warehouse and it's not friendly on my hands even with the amount of hand cream I use :(

  1. I saw this in Rite Aid and wondered how it would look- it's so pretty in the bottle. Too bad they made it so sheer though. I like how you layered it, looks good.

    1. Thank you :) I was going to layer it on a bare nail, but mine are so short, there's no white end and it just looks like flesh and sparkle! Not pretty!

  6. Good to know that there are dupes for Deborah Lippman polishes, those are EXPENSIVE!! I saw them at Holt Renfrew and I think they were almost $40. I have never paid that much for a nail polish and I don't think I ever will!!
