Here is Revlon- Plunge Pool, an impulse buy that I swooped up a couple weeks ago in Walgreens.
Plunge Pool is part of Revlon's limited edition Summer 2013 collection, called Haute Tropics.
It's a very vibrant, metallic, medium blue. It has very fine, lighter aqua shimmer running through it which makes it glow. It's one of those glowing-from-within polishes that are just amazing.
Artificial light, two coats:
Window-filtered daylight:
Plunge Pool looks dark around the edges, and bright and glowing where the light makes contact with the most elevated portions of the nail. Really beautiful.
Outside, shade:
Formula: This is on the thinner side, like most Revlons, however it's thicker than many, many Revlons I've tried; there's not too much danger of it running away to flood the cuticle. It applies easily and smoothly to the nail, and self-levels pretty well. I was worried it would be brushstrokey, but I applied it pretty carelessly, and there aren't any brushstrokes- hoorah!
Additionally, it's super, super pigmented, and will be a one-coat wonder for most people! I did two coats for swatches, just in case.

This polish is a big winner for me- especially for an impulse purchase. It's going to be amazing on toes!
Great impulse buy. I haven't seen this one, but I can picture myself grabbing it on impulse too!
ReplyThat whole Revlon collection looks interesting, to be honest...I had trouble deciding between Plunge Pool and a lighter shimmery aqua color.
Gorgeous blue!
ReplyThanks! :)
Beautiful! It reminds me of ChG Frostbite, which I love :)
ReplyYou know, I just put the swatch sticks side by side, and they are totally similar- good call! Plunge pool is darker and slightly more metallic. I think I prefer it.
Oh wow, I don't wear colors like this but I surely admire them! I want to dive into that deep blue... nail bed. Awkward! :)
ReplyLol! Me too....such a good blue. Personally, I like these colors more on my toes than hands...
