Revlon Starry Pink

    For today, I have another pink for breast cancer awareness month. This time, it's Revlon Starry Pink from their fall Expressionist Collection.  

Starry Pink is a super pale baby pink jelly base with lots of large and small silver hex glitter.

   Starry Pink is really cute, dreamy, and soft. It reminds me of when I was a kid and used to pretend to be a princess in a castle in the sky. Yeah...I've kind of been a loser since birth, but that's okay. The only bad thing about Starry Pink is that it only really looks good at one or two coats. Anything more started looking kind of gross and lumpy, so going forward, I'll just save this one for layering. 
   Formula-wise, it's the same thing. Starry Pink went on fine for the first two coats, but around the third and fourth, it started feeling goopy and draggy on the nail. I waited between coats, but it was still like that...maybe I should have waited longer? Idk. But anyway, the pictures are with four coats of polish and two of topcoat.

And that's all from me today! Thanks for reading, and have a great Tuesday!

this looks gorgeous on you! I haven't tried it yet (I don't do pink) but when my daughter wants it I will put a light pink base on first- thanks for the tips!

Aw, thank you!
And it's so cute that you do your daughter's nails! I hope she likes it!
I absolutely LOVE Starry Pink, it is so different to anything I own, and it's work appropriate, bonus! Looks great on you :)

I'm glad that you love it so much! That's one thing that I liked too, that it was original and not a copy of another polish like the others in that collection.
It would be so fun to wear it to work too!! :D
I'm kind of starting to come around with this shade... I still don't know though... lol

You know you likey. ;)
Lol, not a loser! I think a lot of little girls have that thought at some point ;) This one is so pretty, I kind of regret skipping it when I picked up Facets of Fuchsia :(

Aw, that's sweet of you to say!
But I was really like a loser...I used to sit there and imagine every single detail, right down to the markings on my pet leopard. *covers face*
And I'm sorry that you missed it! I hope you get a chance to pick it up soon...it looked kind of permanent when I saw in it Target. Like it didn't have its own display.
I love this one; one of my new favorites!!

Yay!! It's always nice to fall in love with a polish. :D
I saw this at Target yesterday and it did nothing for me. Maybe if it were more pink instead of pale milky pink? I dunno...but they're definitely on a roll with this, the fuchsia and the blue.

I don't blame you...I picked this up and put it back down a few times before finally making a decision. I also agree that another shade of pink would be nicer...something like the base color of DL's Candy Shop would be fab!
