Revlon Galaxy over Ulta3 Blue Heaven

I wanted to try out the other Revlon Top Coat nail polish that I had picked up. So I decided to try Galaxy over the Ulta3 Blue Heaven manicure I was already wearing.

This time I only applied one thick coat instead of two thin coats like I did with Slipper. It applied very easily and like slipper the glitter is well suspended in the clear coat. Galaxy has black and blue glitter and then the same holographic hexagons that Slipper has. I added a layer of Sally Hansen Mega Shine top coat to help smooth it out but the following morning it was still a bit bumpy so I would recommend trying Seche Vite instead.

I think I like this top coat even better than Slipper! I can see wearing Galaxy over numerous other colours since it's primarily made up of black and silver hexagons.

Revlon Slipper over Ulta3 Mango Mayhem

I picked up two of the Revlon Top Coat glitters from Gloss for AUD$5 each. I decided to try Revlon Slipper first. It contains fine red and silver square glitter with silver holographic hexagons in a clear base. Since it's a top coat I applied it over Ulta3 Mango Mayhem instead of a red because I wanted to clearly get an idea of what Slipper looks like.

I applied two coats over my previous manicure. As a top coat the glitter sits in a clear base and since I added two coats the glitter sits in layers instead of sinking together. Even though it's a top coat I added a coat of Sally Hansen Mega Shine top coat.

These photos were taken immediately afterwards in artificial light.

The following day I took these photos in the natural light. The glitter had actually sunk down so it looked less like it was 'floating' in the clear base.

I think that you would have to wear this as a top coat because it would take a hundred layers to become opaque. I like the contrast of the orange to the red and silver glitter but I can't wait to wear Slipper over a black. At some point I will still try Slipper over a red but I am most eager to try it over a black base.
