Nail Polish Review: Essie in Sexy Divide

 :\  I have a problem...  I can't keep my nail polish on for more than three days without them chipping.  Sheesh.  I don't know what back breaking work I do why they end up ugly so quickly.  Oh well... on to the review of this nail polish I am currently crazy about:

Essie in Sexy Divide
Color
5/5  And it's not because I am very generous with the scores.  This is the sexiest purple I have ever seen ^O^  It's a really gorgeous color, like a shining crystal eggplant.  (Is that sexy or what?  haha!)
Formula
5/5  It's just fantastic ^_^  The formula is thick enough so that it covers the nail very well, yet it dries fast.  It's really shiny, too, somewhat of a patent-leather finish.  Heart~ ♥
Brush
5/5 4/5  I've no problem with the brush although it's unlike O.P.I.'s wide brushes.  Still, it serves it's purpose, which is good enough for me. 
(Correction: my little sister said that Essie brush is not good enough, that I am too generous and that O.P.I.'s Prowide brushes are the only ones worthy of perfect score. Ha!) 
Overall
5/5  I am in love ♡_♡  I bought mine from K-Mart for $7.99 each, which may seem a bit much but since Essie is sold in other stores for $10.00, I don't think it's as burdensome.  I think Essie also specializes in French and pastel colors, but I chose this shade because I like rock-and-roll on my nails. v(^.^)v

Aiiee!  This photo does Essie no justice.  T_T  But I guarantee it's a nice color!

In Lilacism and Sexy Divide
Until we meet again, folks!  ^_^  I'm trying to get as many reviews as possible before work starts for me again.  By that time, I don't think I'd be as capable with posting...  Huu~ ;(  The bright side, work is a blessing from God and without it I wouldn't have dinero to buy things to review.  :D

Nail Polish Review: Revlon Scented Parfume in Gumdrop

Two of my greatest interests in beauty are nail color and nail art.  I am currently wearing a very nice purple color from Essie, in Sexy Divide, and I am loving it!  I hope to write a review soon.  Perhaps, tonight? ;)
I do my own manicure and pedicure because I don't want to spend too much money and I like to change my nail color often, once a week at least.  The image below is a sample of the work I've done.

This review is on Revlon Scented Parfume in Gumdrop.  I really like lilac, so here's my take on the product:
Color
5/5  It's lilac!  And this shade is actually pleasant.  It makes my nails look dainty and fun! :)
Formula
4/5  Revlon's formula is pretty thin in comparison with Essie and The Faceshop.  I like my formula thicker so there would be fewer layering of colors and thus, a quicker drying time.  However, I really like this scented series because the formula makes my nails smell so sweet, like candies and fruits! ^-^
Brush
2/5  The brush is super important!  And I think Revlon did not really consider this.  :(  I have to give them this score because their brush is so skinny.  If you've tried O.P.I., there is a huge difference with the brush width.  Revlon's skinny brushes do not hold as much paint, making the application more limited and more difficult.  :(
Overall
3/5  The paint is really decent, but the brush kills it for me.  Let's hope that Revlon will take a look at their brushes and improve on the design.

Just a bit left! T_T  Clumsy me...
The pink nail color is from The Faceshop (their nail polishes
are of wonderful quality and really inexpensive). 

P.S.  Had to buy Essie in Lilacism because I spilled my Gumdrop all over the carpet.  T___T  Boohoo!  Had to clean it up hard, but at least my fingers were smelling like candy!
