Revlon "GIRLY" Nail Polish and other Fail pink polishes


I was in Walmart shopping.  I was in the kids section and all of the sudden on the shelf was this Beautiful shade of Nail Polish. It was as if the clouds parted and the angels sang with the harp music.   It looked like an pink speckled Easter egg candy.  It was  a bubble gum pink with purple , white and blue glitter specks in it.  I was so very excited.  It was like this nail polish was meant to be with me.  I was so excited.  Well as excited as one can get over a nail polish without being looney.  I get home and prep my nails for this color to permeate my nails and I apply a coat.  And what do you know it is barely a pink tint with glitter specks.  So I put on another coat and then another.  The pink color will not become opaque.

  I wish for once the pink that is in the bottle is the pink that shows up on my nails.  I have this problem with my Julep pink colors.  I suppose I will try it over a white polish or over my cotton candy NYC color.  But I'm disappointed because Revlon isn't cheap and I was so excited to finally get this wonderful pink color and it isn't the color that you get on your nail.  The search continues for that perfect shade of princess pink that actually works.  I will insert a picture of this polish and several other pinks that fell short of Opaqueness that one would hope for when looking at the color in the bottle.  If you know of the perfect Princess pink that actually shows the color on the nail with the max of 3 coats please let me know.  I wish I didn't have such high expectations of nail polish but Polishes such as Julep and Revlon and Opi etc I expect Opaqueness with minimal coats due to the price.  The higher the price the more I expect of it.  I am not unreasonable in that expectation.  Take Julep.  They retail for 14.00 a polish obviously I get it cheaper as I am a Maven and only pay out an average of 6.33 a bottle.  However I go by the retail value when doling out expectations.  Not the sale or special pricing.

Here are some other Fails in the Pink Shade Category.  None of these are the color on the nail that it is in the bottle.  Very translucent.
