Revlon Street Wear in "Burnt"

It's here! I initially thought it might not be coming today, but the mail was just a lot later than usual. And boy, and I'm happy that it came today!!

Any reviews I've come across for Burnt (and that's been about 2) seem to acknowledge that the color is just a little bit ugly, but somehow pretty too. I thought it'd be a lot yellower than it is (more of a mustard color), but I'd describe it as a yellow-leaning tan. Like the color of peanut butter!
There are actually 3 versions of this color that I know of, with the other ones being shimmery green and brown colors. One of them is also called "BBurnt", which is a trend I've noticed with Street Wear - if they make another color with the same name as a previous color, they like to put an extra letter in there. This, though, is just plain Burnt.

This isn't specific to this color, but Street Wear as a whole -- I love the way that the logo's shadow is visible because of the bottle design. Other brands' bottles do this too, like Milani, but it's just a little thing that makes me love Street Wear just a tiny bit more.

As I was painting my nails with Burnt, I realized something... I kind of like how 1 coat looks on my nails. The VNL is strong, but it just reminds me of a butterscotch candy or something. This is how that looks.

Though I mildly enjoyed this look, I ended up with 2 coats. This is a really good opacity, and VNL is only noticeable under intense light, such as that of my craft lamp. Even then, you'd really have to be looking for it. The formula is a bit runny and trying not to flood my cuticles was a chore, but hey - this polish is at LEAST a decade old, what can I say? Speaking of that, I have NO idea when the Street Wear line went out of production. From what I've seen, my best guess is around 2003-05. So chances are this polish is more like 15 years old. Anyway...
Here are those two easy coats. I also didn't bother with a top coat because it dries so nice and shiny!!

For whatever reason, it looks super yellow here -- the first 2 pictures really show the accurate color. Caramel, butterscotch, or just plain tan... whatever you wanna call it, this is a lovely color! I think the appeal is more apparent now than in past years. 70s fashion is coming back, and this color is right at home amongst the browns, oranges, and earth tones that the decade was known for. Overall I really like this color and I'll definitely be keeping it with my go-to's!

Anyway, I think that wraps things up for today. I'm very satisfied with the Street Wears I've got and I can see myself buying more in the future, but I've got a new fixation - Vintage OPI. I know... of all the things to be interested in! If you didn't already know, vintage OPI polishes are notoriously hard to track down. Shades such as 1989's Creme de Menthe have achieved a legendary status of VHTF (very hard to find). My focus is the 1998 Painted Desert collection, specifically the color "Peel Me a Gobi Grape". I've found a couple of the collection's colors for sale, but at what price? $129, that's the price! Seriously... one bottle of "Kalahari Khaki" is over 100 dollars. How insane is that?! And not one listing for Gobi Grape! It's so sad. I've seen many collectors talking about finding polishes at the Goodwill, flea markets, and garage sales, so I can only hope that one day I stumble upon a treasure trove of HTF polishes in a crate at the back of someone's garage. Sigh... a girl can dream!

Anyway... until next time!
