Revlon Emerald City Matte Swatches

Hi! I picked this polish up in a pound shop, first time I've ever seen a Revlon in there. I wouldn't normally have bought it for the full price of £6.99, but for £1, well why not. 

Emerald City is labelled as matte, and the finish is certainly some degree of matte, although not as much as it could be.

It's a deep forest green with some shimmer shot through it, and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it is. The formula is quite lovely too, highly pigmented and smooth. My pictures are two coats.

Definitely worth a quid! I also tried it with a glossy topcoat, click the jump to see :)



Here it is with a regular topcoat. I think I actually prefer this one glossy, it brings out all the shimmer.

  1. I wouldn't mind getting this so cheaply. That is amazing! especially as this is such a dear brand. I love the colour. I like both matte and glossy. Matte would probably be my preference.

  4. You've gotta love Poundland! I've got swatches of this waiting to go but I'm so uninspired by them that pretty glitters keep taking priority. I much prefer it with topcoat - without just reminds me of my old school blazer.

  5. I got two of these from Poundland in different packaging (and different colour?!) but under the same name! I love this though, and definitely prefer it glossy, it makes the shimmer really come alive. Loving these photos xxx
