Whimsical has a milky, sheer base with pastel blue and pink hex glitter and some smaller silver hex glitter and round iridiscent glitter floating in it. Like I said, it's a dupe for Glitter In The Air, so if you're familiar with that polish, you know what you're getting with Whimsical. Since the base is so sheer and would likely require many coats to acheive full coverage, I chose to layer Whimsical over another Revlon polish, Blue Lagoon. Blue Lagoon is a beautiful baby blue shimmer and I thought it looked cohesive with the base color of Whimsical. This is two coats of each polish.
Getting Whimsical will probably require some looking but it's totally worth it! I mentioned that I found mine at Ulta but I've read others have bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond (only the special ones that have cosmetics sections) and Kmart. If you see Whimsical, definitely grab it right then and there if you want it because this beauty's becoming quite hard to find already. I've never seen it other than the day I bought it.
To wrap things up, I thought I'd also show you Blue Lagoon on its own. Unlike Whimsical, Blue Lagoon is super easy to find since it's core. If you're a blue lover like me, this is a nice one to have in your collection and it has great formula and coverage, especially for a pastel.
I love it! I was lucky enough that Amanda snatched one up for me as soon as she saw the display! It reminds me of cupcakes! :) Looks awesome on you!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a fabulous find! Congrats on your success in hunting it down!!
ReplyDeleteSuper beautiful!! I'm loving both of those polishes!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finding Whimsical! It's so pretty. I'm having trouble tracking it down. I find one and of course the cap was broken. I didn't want to leave it behind, but I really didn't want to purchase a defected product.
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty on you!
ReplyDelete@Nory: Aww that was nice of Amanda to snag one for you! I can see the cupcake comparison--the glitter looks like little sprinkles. :)
ReplyDelete@ladyboss: Thank you!
@Ashesela: Thanks! Whimsical is obviously my favorite of the pair but they're both lovely.
@Polish and Charms: Thank you!
@Melissa: Ugh, that sucks that you found a broken one!! People can be so sloppy and disrespectful when they're testing polish at the store. :(
ReplyDeleteHi Chelsea! Wow, I love Whimsical, that is so cute! Love the milky/pastel-ness to the color..along with the color of the sparkles! I think I may have to look for this one ;)
ReplyDelete@Elizabeth: Whimsical is seriously adorable in person! I was trapped in a really slow, tedious night class while wearing this and I just kept staring at the glitter like a crazy person because I was so bored haha. Totally keep an eye out for it, it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really gorgeous layered over Blue Lagoon! It reminds me of lazy summer days spent at the lake or at a music festival. That's the color I'd wear to a music festival for sure. :]
ReplyDelete@Hey_Soul_Sister: Thanks! There's definitely something relaxing about this polish, it's just so fun and girly. I love it!
