For this Twinsie Tuesday, we had to post a green polish since St. Patrick's Day is this week. I decided to wear Ocean from Revlon's Top Speed line. I've had this one for so long and I'm only now giving it a try. I remember being so attracted to it when I saw it in the store because it was such a pretty green.
Ocean is a metallic teal. The formula was excellent for this one!! If you use a medium coat, you can easily get full coverage and there would be no need for a second coat. It is a very saturated polish. You do need to be careful that balding doesn't occur though. There were minor visible brush strokes, but not enough to bother me. The polish also dried very quickly.
For this mani, I used Essie All in One Base, two coats of Ocean, and Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat.

I then added Kleancolor Sparkle Emerald to my ring finger and thumb for a little bit of sparkle.

What do you think of Ocean? Are you wearing any green for St. Patrick's Day?

Thanks hon!! Yes, metallics aren't my favorite finish, but some are just so beautiful that I don't mind ;0).
DeleteThanks for the tag, I'll check it out.
Pretty! I have a Revlon Ocean also but it's not Top Speed - it's in the 2nd release of the scented polishes released last summer. First they released the Fizz ones - all sheer micro glitters...then there were some metallics, creams, and just a general mix. I got Ocean - oh heck - just looked and it's called Ocean Breeze - I thought it would be odd if Revlon released 2 with the same name! I also have all my greens out...waiting for friends to come by and pick/choose what they might want to paint their St. Patty's mani's with. Thanks for the list - I will be looking through the blogs at 'other greens.'
ReplyDeleteYour application is much better then mine. Lol! It is a pretty polish :)
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely NOT true, lol!!
DeleteI love this and I love the accent nails even more! I'm curious if this would stamp well. It would be great to have such a beautiful color for stamping.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mihaela!! Guess I'll have to try the stamping and see ;0).
DeleteI love this color and I love the accent nails!
