Nails: Going Platinum!

Revlon Nail Polish in Pure Pearl

Well, not really platinum. I just like how that title sounds. haha!
I don't usually like to wear pearl-escent polish or metallic ones because of the visible stroke marks. Because I am not too fussy about my nails and usually want to get it done pronto that I rush through it, the result is that the brush marks aren't perfect.
But sporting these finishes instead of creams is a little refreshing, every once in awhile.
Also, this has got to be one of the most 'pigmented' whites/light shade that I have ever used. Meaning that most white pearls go on super sheer and you really have to build it up. Well, this was just 2 coats, and the second was just for that added intensity. You could definitely just stick with one if
you are in a hurry.

you should try steel her heart. i'm not good with color names, but it's basically a gray with very slight blue-ish undertones. but it has a bit of that streakiness you were talking about...

I just bought a darker version of this color, its called silver screen (by Revlon). I love Silver on nails, its like a punched up neutral.

i like such metallic colors, but like you said, they are difficult to apply without the brush strokes showing.

MissJology: It depends actually. Lol, on how much of a hurry you are in, but the revlon brush is a little stiffer so it does give better control, if that helps. (:

ithinktheyrelying: Oh, by which brand?

Fiend: Indeed! And silver matches most outfits. I should go check that one out (:

retail_therapy: Indeed. I love the effect, but I can't stand the brush strokes sometimes. I guess they look the best from a distance. Lol.
