REVLON: I'm Electro

Pin It

Revlon I'm Electro

Come on ya'll gather 'round, gather 'round. It's time for story time!

Once upon a time Lacey went out to a Mexican restaurant for her birthday dinner with a few frenz. She may or may not of drank a few too many margaritas, because they're awesome, and found a 24/7 Walgreens on the way back to the car. After cursing their lack of the newest Sinful Colors collections she happened upon a brand new, sparkly, untouched Revlon Electric Chrome Collection inspired by the newest Spider-Man movie. A little out of it, she oohed and ahhed over the magical sparkle of these polishes she quickly grabbed the 2 blue polishes and was happy as a clam. While slightly not all there, she knew she didn't want to pay $7 for each polish, and there was no sale - she (probably slurring) asked a poor sales associate - and had to make a decision between Super-Powered and I'm Electro. She turned to her trusty, right in the head, friend asking specifically "WHICH ONE IS MORE UNIQUE?!" Thus, Lacey of Lace & Lacquers came home with I'm Electro and is swatching it for you today.

Can I just say I have a friend who has an awesome eye for polish? LOL After coming home and Googling swatches trying to determine if I was going to keep this polish o'mine, I discovered she picked the most unique and impressive in the collection. I'm Electro is a shimmery light aqua blue chrome that shifts to purple. I have a good amount of duochrome polishes and I don't have something like this. The most similar would be Barielle Jillian's Jammin', but that is more of a brighter aqua.

I did 2 coats of I'm Electro alone, plus 1 coat over black - as you can see above. I was shocked that I could get away with 2 coats! I was planning for at least 3 coats for full coverage, so 2 made me happy that it wasn't super sheer. As you can see there is a slight difference when layering it over black. The black makes the aqua pop just a little bit more. I prefer layering it on its own because there seems to be a bit more contrast between the color shift. Does that make sense? LOL. I would wait between coats if layering, otherwise no complaints here!

You Polish Diamond Cut

It's April 1st! Did you say "rabbit, rabbit" for good luck? :] Even if you didn't, today's your lucky day! I have You Polish's April birthstone polish,  Diamond Cut, to share with you. Check it out down below!

Diamond Cut is a mix of "silver holographic dots, hexes, diamonds and squares in a holo dusted clear base". I think this was a cool option VS a solid silver polish. I really like all the holographicness of this polish. It looks amazing over that black huh?

I did 2 coats of Diamond Cut over Polish & Co The Opposite of White (my favorite 1 coater black!). There were no issues upon application. It was smooth and all the glitter pieces came out nicely. The dry time was also just as good, no issues.
