I've heard about this polish here and there but I never seemed to be able to find it. So when I found this beauty at the flea market for $1.50, I snatched it up quickly! This is the only Revlon Top Speed I own at the moment. The Consistency of this polish and the smell is very different from any other polish I've used. It's very "watery" gel but it has amazing coverage. As far as the smell it's sorta bizarre, it's not a stinky chemical smell like some of the cheeps out there but it is smelly and a bit foul. Heh not sure exactly what it reminds me off but i think i would go as far as saying it reminds me of "muted pre-skunk", as in you're in the car and you get that first hint whiff of skunk in your nose. This is like that but not as bad because it never matures into full blown unbearable skunk stink. Hah okay i hope i didn't scare any of you off with that but it is an odd stink this polish has. Stink aside it is AMAZING!! This color is the perfect shade of blue, a lot of darker blues just end up looking like shade of black. This one almost glows with it's blueness! In the pictures you can see the dreaded visible nail line, but in reality you couldn't see it. I used 3 coats but really 2 was more than enough.
I'm so behind on my posting this was done the night before I went to chicago and I was very tired and it took forever to get the last polish off so I still have tiny glitter specks all over my hand in these pics. heh it happens. So Tomorrow I'll post what I layered on top of this and wore to the tool show in chicago. I ended up wearing that combo for more than a week because i got like a million compliments on it. See you guys tomorrow!
