Revlon Spring/Summer 2010 Minted Nail Varnish Review

Revlon have released two polishes for Spring/Summer 2010. Minted and Lilac Pastelle. (Lilac Pastelle review to follow). All the polishes retail for £6.29. Please note I was sent this product to review.

It'd be impossible to write this post without making comparisons to Essie's Mint Candy Apple so I guess I'll start there! You can find my review at the bottom of THIS POST. The colours are very close indeed. But I didn't like the Essie. I found it hard to work with and unforgiving in its application and I wasn't sold on the whole mint green thing, in fact I sold it after only wearing it once! So, I didn't expect to like Revlon Minted but  I do! The application is a dream, two coats. It just seems slightly more forgiving, slightly softer and less tippex-y. I'm not 100% sold on mint green on me, but I think I will wear this again, I think I kind of love it! So for your viewing pleasure I give you Revlon Minted Nail Varnish.
 And just for fun here's Essie Mint Candy Apple for comparison because I couldn't find one anywhere. Minted is definitely softer, greener and in my opinion, nicer.

  3. Just two coats. I've had three polishes and they've all been two coaters!

  4. That looks lovely! Definitely nicer than Mint Candy Apple, I always thought MCA looked a bit too stark and blue to be called mint green and your pics have confirmed it for me :)

  8. Hideous. Streaky. And you end up with bubbles on the surface.
    My nails look like they have fungus growing on them.
    Revlon nailpolish - fungus for your nails.
