Today, I have a nail polish that is recently popular because it's a VERY close dupe for the popular Chanel Paradoxal, which I still don't have yet. I picked it up today from a full display at Duane Reade near my work. I also picked up an extra bottle for my giveaway (I've decided to have it when I reach 300 followers).
But here's my swatch of Revlon's Perplex which is a darkened plum gray with a purple shimmer. I've seen comparisons of the two and Perplex has more shimmer than Paradoxal so if you prefer less shimmer or "hidden" shimmer, you should go for Paradoxal but you don't need both. The swatch is 2 coats and 1 coat of Seche top coat. I absolutely love this color! I've been lemming Paradoxal so this is feeding my lemming :)

I'd like to say (again) that I will be holding a giveaway to celebrate for reaching 300 followers (when I reach 300 I will post up the giveaway). So, there will be only one prize and maybe a small second prize. But so far I only have one bottle of Revlon Perplex. All items in this giveaway will either be brand new and purchased by me, or has been swatched once. I hope no one will have a problem with that. :\
hope you enjoyed & happy polishing! :)

ReplyDeleteKatrina: I just saw it today when I forgot to bring a lock to work so I stopped by to buy one and then I always check the front displays of nail polish section to see if they had anything new. Hope you find it! :D
Tamara: Thank you! To me, I thought there wasn't enough shimmer on the bottle but it translated even better on my nails! Maybe you got a bad bottle? :\

ReplyDeleteDo you mind telling me where exactly this duane reade is? LOL :P It's such a pretty color..!
ReplyDeleteascentasightasound: There is a ton of shimmer compared to Paradoxal, when I saw the comparison posts on nail blogs. LOL I remember reading there's another one by Model's Own or Barry M I believe that is supposed to be a dupe as well.

mandy: The one by Hollister lol! I got it before work :P It is! It totally fills my desire for Paradoxal, though I still have a small want for Paradoxal :3

ReplyDeleteI found this at Ulta but I haven't used it yet. I can't wait (gonna wear it next). I don't care if it's a dupe, or not. It's soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe color is gorgeous! And I'm in awe over how clean you applied it lol. I can NEVER get my nail polish to look like that <33
ReplyDeleteUne Ruxi à Paris: Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteMegan: It is absolutely amazing! :D I think you're going to like it.
katie: Thanks LOL! I don't use a brush and acetone polish to make it so clean though :x I got better applying as I practiced, but I before it dries completely in the first layer, I use an orange wood stick to make the shape oval. But I'm going to try practicing with a brush and nail polish remover. Thank you hehe♥
