Revlon Top Speed 'Sheer Cotton' Swatch and Review

-
Hello there! How are you guys? Today I have another swatch and review from Revlon, but this time from the Top Speed range. This is called 'Sheer Cotton'. I was really looking forward to trying this polish, coz' I thought it might be a little like 'Sheer Pearl' also from the Revlon Top Speed range. That, it was not. But let's get into it!


Alright! I will start with the thing that I liked the most about this polish; the colour! The colour is extremely unique; it is very accurate to the colour of natural cotton, as indicated to by the name of this polish (Sheer Cotton). I really haven't seen anything like this before. Unfortunately, the formula is absolutely terrible! The formula is extremely streaky and sheer, it takes four coats to build the polish to full opacity!


 I was extremely confused as to how this polish is supposed to be worn; as it is called 'sheer' cotton I was expecting a sheer finish to the polish. To my surprise, the first coat was way too streaky to be worn on it's own. The same thing happened with the second coat. The third coat was opaque but still  had streaks through it. So, the only way this can really be worn is at four coats for a fully opaque finish. Above is the polish at one coat and below is the polish as two coats.


 Top-Speed polishes to dry very fast, which is good coz' it makes it less time-consuming to paint on all those coats!


All-in-all, while I loved the unique colour, I was very disappointing with the formula on this polish. I wish that the formula was a lot less streaky, as that would have allowed the polish to be worn at a sheer finish or be built up to full opacity in three coats! What do you guys think about this polish? Do you like the colour? What do you think about the formula? Have you tried a polish from this range before? Let me know right here in the comments or on Instagram and Pintrest (my username is thegoodnailsblog). 
May your nails be good

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea
