I've had Revlon Whimsical on my wish list since it started appearing online as a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Glitter in the Air. I have been known to purchase the real thing when it comes to high end vs. drugstore, but when the dupe is almost spot on after much research, I tend to gravitate toward the lower priced polish. This was the case with Revlon Whimsical.
I'm sure everyone is familiar with this - I'm a tad late picking it up. It has a sheer light bluish/green base with large and small pink and blue glitter. I think whimsical is a perfect name for it. I do like the more opaque base, so I chose to layer it over OPI What's with the Cattitude.
I also played with other bases below...

That was fun playing with the nail wheel and seeing how the glitter polish looks over other bases. I need to do this more often:)
Thanks for checking in!
Love that you have shown this swatched over so many colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was fun. my daughters want to do it now:) Art project coming on.
DeleteI like it swatched over many colors too! I especially like it over Pedal Faster Suzi :) I have this color but don't wear it because I didn't think to use it as a topcoat!
ReplyDeleteAh, my daughter's name is Shelby:) Glad I could be of service - dig that baby out:)
DeleteOh it looks great the way you've layered it! I bought Whimsical a while back with the intention to wear it for my Easter mani....I tried it over a few different polishes but I just couldn't get it to look right, I couldn't get the glitters the way I wanted them. Now that I have a bit more experience and have gotten a bit better at doing my nails, I will have to re-visit Whimsical and see if I can get it to look nice on my nails. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a bit of a pain to get adequate amounts of glitter on each nail. I forgot to mention that in my post...
DeleteI love all the different swatches! I like Whimsical layered over light blue the best, but it's fun seeing them over colors beyond the norm, like that pink.
ReplyDelete:) Another reason why Pedal Faster Suzi is one of my all time favorites!
DeleteWelcome to the club!
ReplyDeleteThe Whimsical club???
DeleteThis is a polish that everyone needs in their collection :) I also wore mine over a blue creme and I loved how it looked! I'll have to try it over a light pink because your swatch is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYep, it's a staple - especially because it's such a great dupe of a high end polish.
DeleteI love your nail wheel swatches! I do this all of the time, but it is a great idea to post them all to show people what you decided not to do! (I may use it sometime if that is okay with you?)
ReplyDeleteOh for sure! I didn't invent the wheel, so why re-invent it??? hehe
DeleteIt looks gorgeous over that blue! I'm also really loving it over Pedal Faster Suzi on the nail wheel, so fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, I almost did my manicure in that one, but decided to do the blue.
DeleteI too avoided the expensive version because this one was dead on! I love the combinations you paired it with!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Some are dead on, and some are close.... this one is pretty dead on.
