| Bare nail wheel on left, 3 coats of Revlon Sheer Seafoam on right |
I understand that they put the word "sheer" in the name, but when a polish is still barely visible at 3 coats, I have to wonder why anyone would bother with it! I saw this polish as part of the Revlon Escapism display at my local Walgreens and was immediately drawn to the color. I happened to have my nail wheel on hand and started polishing. The color was invisible at 1 coat, so much so that I couldn't tell which of the clear nails on my wheel had the polish on it. It didn't get any better after a 2nd or 3rd coat. In case my nail wheel pics don't convince you, here's a few pictures I got of the polish in the bottle. It's too bad because it seems like an amazing color that could've been a great sheer if they'd gotten the formula right. The way it stands, I'd say this polish is a waste of money. Join me after the jump for a few more pictures.

Revlon Sheer Seafoam brush on neck: see the near transparency?

Revlon Escapism dislay, where Sheer Seafoam can be found
Even at an angle, you can still barely tell which nail on the wheel is painted with 3 coats (bottom) and which isn't (top).

Yeah, that had to be a joke on Revlon's part - what's even the point?
ReplyDeleteWow...I saw this the other day and thought it was so pretty in the bottle. Definitely a waste.
ReplyDeleteThanks for swatching! I'm at the drugstore now and it caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteIt's really a beautiful color, they just didn't formulate it to be a good jelly. It totally caught my eye as well, and still does every time I see it, actually.
DeleteWhat if you took a similar color from your nail wheel and put a couple of drops in Sheer Seafoam? To doctor it up a bit? What's the most similar one you have?
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, I haven't tried it but someone on Makeup Alley did this and got a great looking jelly, They used Fingerpaints Tiffany Impostor, but I think any of the "Tiffany" blue-greens would work. She said she poured out some SS and added "several drops" of TO. Makeup Alley is awesome!
DeleteIf you've ever wanted to do a glitter sandwich with CG Refresh Mint or For Audrey or something like that, this color would be great to use as the "top coat". :)
