Hello ladies,
Today I am wearing Grape Icy from the Revlon Scents of Summer Collection. The color is a lovely violet purple with fuschia shimmer. More importantly, it smells like grape candy! The scent is like having a palm full of jelly beans and inhaling the sweetness. I can still detect it easily even after two layers of topcoat.
I stamped the small blossom design from Konad plate M51. I used white special polish and affixed purple crystals in the center of each flower. In center city, the flowering trees and hung with white blooms. Gazing down the street, it looks like the trees are draped in bridal lace. I can't resist decorating my nails to reflect Nature.
I purchased Grape Icy for novelty and not quality, so I wasn't disappointed. After my experience with last summer's Revlon scented polishes, I knew to expect enjoyable scent and color combined with questionable application.
I started with a ridge filling base coat. The formula was thin and needed three coats over the tinted base to be perfectly opaque. There were also some minor visible brush stokes. The dry time was longer than I would have liked, but not unreasonable. I'm only sharing this in the interest of fair reporting. All I can truly focus on is that my nails are shimmering violet purple and smell like grape candy.
I will be showing more of the Revlon Scents of Summer line over the next couple of weeks. I really wish those of you who are interested could smell the grape scent through the screen. Today, I amused my boyfriend, my barista, a neighborhood dog and my cat with my scented nails.
Happy painting, ladies!
