For Twinsie Tuesday, we have to share our favorite polish. This was hard because I don't have just one favorite polish, I have FAVORITES, lol. I didn't want to post a polish I've already shared because that wouldn't be any fun for those of you who read regularly and have seen it before. So I decided to choose a favorite I hadn't tried before.
Revlon Royal Cloak is a polish I was lemming for a really, really long time. Every time I went to the drug store, I would search high and low for it. I held on to very little hope that I would ever get my hands on it. Then one day I was in Duane Reade looking around and there it was, far away from all the other Revlons, all lonely with eyes pleading for me to notice and take it home. I seriously did a happy dance in the store. I might have even yelped a little bit, lol!! Of course, I found two others afterward, go figure. I was able to share the love with fellow nail polish lovers ;0).
Royal Cloak is a gorgeous Royal Purple with glass flecks in it. The formula was pretty good. It was opaque in two coats, but I noticed the slightest bit of patchiness on a few nails, so I decided to do a third coat. I used Essie All in One Base, three coats of Royal Cloak, and Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat.

Based on what I've read, this was a limited edition polish and from personal experience, it's very difficult to find. So I hope I don't create lemmings for you guys and have you going crazy like I did.
Do you have Royal Cloak? What is your favorite nail polish?
Don't forget to check out my twinsies and see what they're favorite polishes are!

DeleteI really love this polish! I do think it's kind of funny that they named one of their colors Royal and another Royal Cloak. Come on Revlon, be creative!

ReplyDeleteLOL!! At least you have it in your possession. When you do give it a try, I think you'll love it!
