Revlon Moon Candy Nail Art (Milky Way) Review

Hi there, again!

How are you all doing? Winters do seem to be just around the corner, don’t they?

November has been all about nails for me, thanks to 1) the amazing free time I’ve been getting because MUHS just wouldn’t take our final MBBS exams, and 2) the awesome generosity of Maybelline as they keep mailing in trendy colors that I can’t help but drool over.

I recently discovered the Revlon Moon Candy Nail Art Collection during one of my online shopping sprees.  These are a collection of double sided nail paints, one of which is a regular crème nail paint to be used as a base, while the other is a complementary coloured glass-type flakie, which is to be used over the base.While they have several shades as bases (with names inspired from outer space, like Satellite, Universe, Eclipse, and so on), I decided to try the one called Milky Way.

So Revlon says - 

Revlon Nail Art Moon Candy allows you to get a gorgeous, iridescent effect inspired by outer space. The holographic glitter top coat is illuminated by the dark cream base coat, giving your nails a multi-dimensional look. The dual-ended package gives you everything you need to create a fun, cosmic look.

The Eating Beauty’s say –

Milky way has a dark grey crème base, and silver holographic flakies and gold micro glitters. The crème glides on very smoothly, making it very easy to apply. The brush has a very nice length which effectively covers larger nails too in a single smooth coat. One coat, and you’re done. The color is dark, smooth and dries off before you finish the other nails on that hand. The flakies, are not as obedient though. If you just swipe over your nails with the brush, you are sure to end up with unequal coverage with one nail looking too shiny than the other. Hence, you ideally scoop through the bottle to pick up and dab them on the nails to get an even coverage. As the flakies dry, the surface ends up all bumpy. And yes, that can be a pain.

But well, the gain sure makes it worth the effort! The effect is just heavenly (pun intended :P)!!! These nail art collections are different from any other in the market right now, and I highly recommend them to any one who wants a very glamorous nail art look on a limited time and pocket budget. Also, the dark grey creme can be used by itself as well, on those days when you do not want shimmery nails.

Price – INR 300/-

The Eating Beauty recommends –

1.       Dab the flakies on your nails instead of gliding the brush on to get an even coverage.

2.       Use a top coat on your nails after the nail art is done. This will not only help your nail art stay longer, but also smoothen the bumpy surface.
