SH Instadri wear Blue Away! with Revlon Whimsical

It's Whimsical time again!
Revlon Whimsical is something straight out of a dream - a milky jelly with a hint of blue and iridescent tiny glitters, along with pink and blue hex glitter - a treat for the eyes. I can't resist reaching for it every now and again, it is pretty much the perfect jelly and glitter polish I own. Here it is layered over SH Instadri wear Blue Away!, which is a one-coater light blue. Like all (at least in my experience) Instadris, it's a 1-2 coater opaque cream, dries very fast, not too shiny, so a topcoat helps. The worst thing about them is the chipping, but I do my nails every 2-3 days, so it hasn't been a big issue with me. With a jelly on top, it makes for a less harsh texture on the nail and a good backdrop for Whimsical. 
Despite being core, Whimsical is getting sold out every time I visit Superstore to pick up a backup. When I was there last week, it has TWO entire rows filled with Whimsical. Since I was moving and was shopping for essentials. I didn't get it... came back the very next day and they were all gone. What an elusive polish! I had no idea it would still be so popular. 
What do you think of it? Do you like glitter jellies or find them tacky?

  1. I think most people might be getting it because it's a GitA dupe xD
    It looks lovely on you. I once saw a pic of Whimsical over a bright blue (a la Nails Inc Baker Street) and it was gorgeous too.

    I hope you find that elusive backup :)
