Untried Polish Challenge - Number 3 Two colours

I didn't love my last ones, so today I filed and started on my third challenge. I used Revlon Sunshine Sparkle as the yellow, and Covergirl Coral Silk as my pseudo orange for nails that matched the tulips in my garden. The Sunshine sparkle is maybe the most amazing yellow I have ever seen the colour is great and the sparkles just add to the shine on it, but it is also pretty bad formula, it goes on goopy and streaks a ton. Another thing was it took three really thick coats to get a good coverage as it is super sheer, so I would probably recommend using a white coat under it if you want to try it. I never really use Revlon except for their glitters so I am unsure if all their polishes are this sheer.

The Coral Silk is amazing, I love the colour and it is super opaque so it gave great coverage with little effort. It also went on really nice and was thick enough that it was really easy to stamp.


I didn't want to do a full gradient as I just wanted a little yellow at the bottom like the tulips in my garden, so I used a sponge and then just rolled my nail, I was glad at how it turned out. I used a stamping plate to do the little Coral silk half flower on my thumb nail.

I probably won't use Sunshine Yellow this one that often even though I love the colour as it's too sheer, but I will be using the Coral silk again after I finish this challenge!

  5. I don't know what it is about yellow polishes, but they all seem to have horrible formulas. Must be something goofy with that color. I swear, I'm on a never ending search for the perfect one.

    I love you color choices and your stamp placement is too cute.

    1. If I find a good one I will let you know :p the only good opaque one I ever found was a cheap dollar shore one I bought when I was about 9, although it might have just thickened up with age. I still use it for dotting since it has good coverage.

      thank you :)
