Revlon Colorstay Nail Polish Haul + Review

It has been 25 days since my last blogpost. 25! God, I've missed you guys! How is everyone doing? I've been studying like crazy the last couple of weeks. I had exams this week and I made a pact with my friends: start studying at 8AM, stop at 9PM. It has been hard and boring at times, but it was all worth it: my exams went quite well! Now, FINALLY time to blog again! Let's talk about something very fun today: nail polish!


Earlier today, I went to a store called 'Action', where you can buy all sorts of things for a very cheap price. From cleaning goods, school stuff, food and (the best part, ofcourse): beauty stuff! I went through the boxes of nail polish on the bottom shelves. I wasn't that impressed at first, because they mostly had Sally Hanssen glitter polishes. Suddenly, I saw a Revlon Colorstay nail polish in my hand. My jaw dropped. You can't find these ANYWHERE here in Belgium, and suddenly they were here at Action? I looked further (I literally sat on my knees in the store and looked trough all the boxes) and found another bunch of them. In total, I got 6 colors. But the best part is: these were €0,99 a piece.



The six colors I got are:

  • Fall Mood: A gorgeous, shimmery bronze color. I painted my nails with this one when I got home and will review this one later in this post.
  • Bare Bones: a true creamy 'Greige' color. Something in between grey and beige. Very nice neutral color.
  • Buttercup: The lightest cream pastel yellow color I've ever seen. Such a cute color, it scream 'Spring' to me. Amarixe has raved about this one a lot on youtube.
  • Marmelade: A creamy, bright orange. This one will go on my toes this weekend!
  • Midnight: Navy Cream color. Very beautiful and not too dark.
  • Spanish Moss: A creamy, khaki color. This one is so pretty! They also had a darker one called 'Jungle' but I decided that one color like this was enough.
I could not believe these were €0,99 a piece. On the boxes, it said that everything was €2,39 and I was fine with that price. But later, on the ticket I saw that they were a lot cheaper. It made my day.


I painted my nails with 'Fall Mood' when I got home and I really like the consistency of the polish. I have two Revlon nail polishes like this one: Vintage Rose and Red Carpet, so I knew that they have a nice formula. Two coats cover the nail perfectly and they dry quite fast. Fall Mood is a very beautiful bronze, almost rose-gold color with a metallic finish. I love colors like this.

Have a nice weekend, sweeties <3

  1. Congratulations on your exams. I guess the studying was worth it! :)) Oh I am so jealous right now. I only have two Revlon nail polishes and really really like how long lasting they both are. An that price - amazing. They are much more expensive in our country. I especially love the first three shades you got. :D

    1. Normally, these are so much more expensive as well. And you can't even find this specific line normally. But 'Action' is a store that buys large amounts of all sorts of products in other countries and than sells them here for a very cheap price. It's getting really popular :D
