Revlon: Provence

{click to zoom}

Pale lavender polish, you've got me again!  'Provence' by Revlon is part of their new Colorstay collection (which I'm loving!).  I reviewed 'Buttercup' here and I've been using the top coat for a few months now.  Trust me, I will love practically any pastel colored polish and this one is no exception I wore it for about a week straight with no chipping and minimal signs of wear.

'Provence' went on nicely giving off a great creamy finish with just 2 coats.  I saw this polish the same time that I saw 'Pilates Hottie' by Essie and they look very similar but I haven't tried out the Essie one yet so I'm not sure how similar they will be on the nails, but this could be a very good alternative!

Sally Hansen: Good to Grape

{click to zoom}

Remember when I wrote that post about Sally Hansen 'Midnight in NY' here,  I totally forgot about how much I loved that brush and the consistency of the polish.  So while I was strolling through Walgreens looking at the Essie stand I came across this random bottle of Sally Hansen and figured it was worth a shot.

'Good to Grape' is a creamy mid-tone purple color that comes off as an almost jelly-like consistency.  It also had that wider, flater brush that is perfect for getting a nice even coat every time.  I found this color to be opaque in 2 coats which is great during the summertime when you're looking for that color you can quickly slap on.

Overall, I'd recommend this color, I didn't have anything like this so it was a nice addition in my collection.  It is quite a normal purple color though there isn't really anything special about it so if you have a lot of purples in your collection I'd say pass on 'Good to Grape'.
