| Revlon Blue Lagoon Please excuse my scruffy bottle! |
Blue Lagoon is from the Summer 2011 Les Romantics Collection. Some people have even suggested that Blue Lagoon is a DUPE for Chanel's Coco Blue or Chanel's Riva. I do not personally own either of the chanel polishes but I have seen pictures and they appear to be quite similar in color. I cannot give you a personal opinion on Chanel's consistency.
However, I can tell you about Blue Lagoon's consistency and ease of application...not so great. (waa-waa). It required three coats to get the full coverage and even then I found it to be slightly streaky. Its a shame because the color is so beautiful!!! If not for the streakiness this might have made it to my top ten nail polishes simply because the color is sooo lovely. I hope Revlon reformulates this product and reintroduces it because it really is a unique blue shade that looks great on a wide variety of skintones.
Nevertheless, if you have patience and don't mind applying a few coats of polish then you should try this out. As much as I love me some Chanel, the price tag on Revlon's Blue Lagoon is much more attractive to me and within my budget:)
