Revlon "Minted" and "Not So Blueberry"

Revlon "Minted" & Revlon "Not So Blueberry"
I was at Fred Meyer (grocery store) earlier today and saw that Revlon polishes were buy 1, get 1 half off. :D

I've been wanting a mint, pastel green for a few months. I had such a hard time hunting down "Minted" and I was so happy to find it today. :D I really wonder how it compares to Essie's "Mint Candy Apple" because I've heard so many great things about it.

Revlon really needs to reinvent their nail polish packaging already!
#370 "Not So Blueberry" was priced at $4.99 because it's from a different line. They say Scented Perfume on the bottle. I guess it does give off a fragrance even after the polish has dried. I don't really know why you would need a scented nail polish. lol

#85 "Minted" was more affordable at $4.49. :D
I really like Revlon nail polish colors, but I really don't like the brush ~ it's so thin making it harder to apply. The packaging is so dated in my opinion! Anyone agree?
"Not So Blueberry" is such a unique polish in comparison to the other colors by Revlon. I was going to go for "Silver Dollar," but the whimsical purple really stood out.
It was also the last one so I knew I had to get it. lol I needed another polish anyways to take advantage of the sale.
It's one of the prettiest drugstores purples I've seen on shelves as of yet. :) I would describe it as a fairy tale lavender.

This polish combination reminds me of My Little Pony. haha


I used two coats of each polish. I think "Not So Bluberry" would look even better with a third coat since it' has silver shimmers in it. :)
Minh asked me why I was so happy today and I said because my new nail polishes makes me happy!

  1. Hi Steph, Not so Blueberry is such a unique color. I don't know why nail polish needs to be scented either. In my opinion it's actually a bad thing because now we have people sniffing perfumed nail polish fumes. I saw a young girl and a friend checking out scented nail polish at a drugstore and she just opened the bottle and sniffed it hard.

  6. Not so Blueberry is a beautiful iridescence looking color! Loooove it. Want.

    I've heard a lot of great reviews about Minted too. I have Mint Candy Apple by Essie, and it seems a tad bit bluer than Minted, based on these photos.

    LOL @ My Little Pony. <3

  12. I have the not so blueberry polish. I think its a pretty color with the silver specks. :D I dont mind the smell aftrwards, I dont think it bothers me. I dont own much nail polishes since I'm a mommy. Its hard taking care of your nails when you have to cook, clean, watch your toddler and pick up after him. Its bad, so once in a blue moon I'll drop by the nail section at a drugstore and buy something. :) But I've seen you post all your nail colors and I think a lot of your choices are nice. :) Fall is here, I wonder what you will get now.
