37 is simply a super cheap nail polish that I purchased at Bonjour. It is only numbered 37, it doesn't even have a name.

37 reminds me so much of SkinFood's Nail Vita Crystal Pearl Top Coat. But 37's shimmer is so much denser than Crystal Pearl Top coat's; therefore, I like 37 so much better.

[Revlon] Whimsical

Brand: Revlon
Collection: 2012 Spring (I assume...)
Polish: 430 Whimsical

Whimsical is the Revlon nail polish that everyone is craving because it is well-known as the Deborah Lippmann's "Glitter in the Air" dupe. It seems that Revlon make a lot of nail polish dupes lately, like Deborah Lippmann dupes and Chanel dupes.

Whimsical is a glitter polish with medium pink hexagon glitter, medium light blue hexagon glitter, small silver glitter, and fine duochrome glitter in a baby blue creme base that is quite sheer.

The pastel baby blue colour is lovely, and I am happy with the sheerness. I think opacity can be achieved with 3-4 coats.

The glitter in Whimsical is not very dense. Therefore, I had to be extra careful when I applied the nail polish/placed the glitter as I want more glitter on my nail.

The photos below show 2 coats of Whimsical worn on its own (no base nail colour), with top coat.

Shine of the times is a polish with loads of flakes in a clear base. The flakes appear blue, green, yellow, or pink depending on the lighting and the angle you look at it.
Many say that shine of the times is for layering over another polish, I agree with that, but I also think it is very beautiful on its own.
All the photos below show 1 coat of shine of the times.
