The three nail enamels I recently purchased by Revlon are a glitter polish lover’s dream. These limited edition polishes are fresh off Revlon’s Expressionist Fall 2011 collection created by Revlon’s global artistic director and celebrity makeup artist, Gucci Westman. Before I get into more detail about the Expressionist collection, let me show you the three polishes I purchased.
Three coats of Starry Pink (pictured above) without a topcoat.
-#051 Starry Pink
This pink is such a pretty unique shade of pink. I would describe the color to be a creamy baby pink with a slight hint of gray. Swirling within the creamy polish are fine silver glitters and larger silver hexagonal glitters. Because the polish has a creamy appearance, it tones down the shininess from the silver glitters causing the glitters to look gray colored on the nail with just a little bit of sparkle. To achieve it’s true pink color potential, you need to apply 3 coats of this polish. Glitter polishes can be difficult to remove, so to cut down on removal time, use a light pink colored base and layer fewer coats of this polish over top.
Two coats of Blue Mosaic (pictured above) without a topcoat.
-#934 Blue Mosaic
The Blue Mosaic is a clear polish saturated with beautiful teeny tiny teal glitters, which give this polish its color when applied. What’s really gorgeous about this polish are it’s large silver and contrasting green hexagonal glitters. The green glitters are a surprising pop of color that complement the teal blue color of the tiny glitters and gives the polish more depth and dimension.
This polish needs to be applied with multiple coats to achieve a substantial amount of color on your nail. Three coats of this polish will give you color, but beware: glitter polishes are a pain to remove! I suggest painting a coat or two of this polish over a navy blue base color.

-940 Facets of Fuchsia
This dark magenta glittery polish is absolutely stunning. This black colored jelly based polish is heavily filled with tiny magenta glitters and large hexagonal glitters. This polish needs to be applied with 3 coats to achieve the perfect dark hue from the jelly base. The multiple coats of overlapping small and large glitters create a beautiful deep dimension on your nail. For the perfect opacity, apply three coats or apply fewer coats over a dark base.
By the way, many people on blogs and youtube have compared this polish to Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance and have concluded that it's a very close dupe!

These three colors I purchased were the three out of the four polishes available from the limited edition Revlon Expressionist Fall 2011 Collection. The last shade I did not purchase was Smoky Canvas, a creamy taupe color. In addition to these 4 nail polishes that retail at $4.79, the Revlon Expressionist Collection includes 12 new lip colors: 4 liquid lipsticks retailing at $10.99, 3 traditional lipsticks retailing at $7.99, and one lip gloss palette called Bordeaux in the Snow containing 5 new lip colors retailing at $6.99, and 5 new eyeshadow colors retailing at $4.99.
