Throwback Tuesday: The Best Thing Ever. Period.

The best thing ever (at least for today) is Revlon Glimmer Gloss. Doesn't matter what color. They are fantastic! I love these for layering. Super-freaking awesome.

Today's feature is Revlon Grape Shimmer. We do own other colors, but they will be featured in future weeks.

Revlon Grape Shimmer - 1 coat over black

Sarah Says: Ahhhh. Just look how great that is! Clearly, this shines over black, but it is equally lovely over other things. (Further down we have some swatches over other colors. But don't skip there yet. Keep reading. Fun comments are coming, and you wouldn't want to miss that, would you? Lol.) I got this out J's mom's old polish drawer, and I hated it at first. I had never tried layering before, so I tried to wear this alone. Bad plan. Really, really bad. Thus this was relegated to the "never-ever-wearing-this-not-even-if-I-had-a-gun-to-my-head" category. (Clearly, this is an exaggeration. If someone had a gun to my head, I'll wear freakin' anything. Lol.) But J convinced me to try layering it over something else, and it looks amazing!!! Great story, right. Lol.

Jason Says: It was like pulling teeth with S to try and bring back the Glimmer Gloss polishes with us when we raided mom's polish drawer. Being the level headed, smart one of the duo (:-P don't let S tell you otherwise), I brought it with us against S's wishes. I bet she is glad that I chose that option. The amazing blue/purple shimmer it adds to polish is pretty freaking unique. It is one of my favorite layering polishes we have.

Sarah Says: Since the base of this is purple-ish, it does change the base color slightly. For that reason, it tends not to look as nice over brighter colors. Yellow particularly...it kind of looks brown-ish. However, it looks awesome over so many other colors that it doesn't even matter. :D

Jason Says: Well, It makes almost all of these polishes really POP. I am not very fond of the Green one looking back on it. I originally liked it. Bad call. But hey. That is the beauty of blogging. Other people will probably look at that and LOVE it. :-P It does however make all the polish look amazing. This, along with it's sister polishes, is a GREAT way to spice up a two or three old day manicure; or, if you are like us, you could just use it on it's own to begin with. It's whatever you like baby ;) Over Grapepop, it kind of looks like Scrangie from RBL but not exactly. Scrangie is so complex and unique that it is pretty hard to duplicate or copy in any way. Lol. So, if you are looking to add interest and dept to certain "plain old boring" cream polishes, slap a layer of this or any of the other Glimmer glosses over your manicure. :D You'll be saying hello to a completely new stranger on your nails. I think you'll become good friends quite quickly.

So, how do you like this layering polish? Is it absolutely delicious or vomit inducing? Do you own any of these? Do you plan on getting some? Tell us all about your layering experiences and favorites in the comment section below. :D
