Stash photos: my untried Revlon Street Wear polishes!

A little something different this morning: some stash photos! I only have about a dozen more Street Wears that are actually tried but I attempt to keep my trieds separate from my untrieds. Hence, this photoshoot was only of my untried ones...





















Hope you enjoyed the pics!

  1. wow, 3 versions of grape and gras stain?

    hmm- do charming and prince charming look the same? they seem to be holo's or at least foils :D

  2. Sigh, FX Flash is the bane of my existence right now. Ebay users do not know how to use ebay!

  3. Ahhh such memories you bring back for me, I had so many of these...and discarded them when I needed to move into this smaller space. You've shown here some I'd forgotten I had! I always remember Blood (the darker version) and Gun Metal (not shown) but I'd completely forgotten I had Midas, Forest, Hologram, Groovy and Forbidden. Now I regret giving them away. *sigh* Loved this post. :)

  5. Awesome! Have to admit I already took a sneak peak @ flickr, though. ;) And I have to ask: what is the difference between the first two Grapes, and the two Grass Stains (except the sticker)? Is the first Grape a little more blueish to its shimmer than the second?

  11. @amused: they do look similar but I think Prince Charming is a bit more seafoam green (they both have holo glitter)

    @stephanie: I take that as a compliment. :)

    @daydream: Seriously, get yourself to Manhattan sometime to the dusty where I found FX Flash. There were half a dozen left when I was there.

    @elizabeth: Aww, that's too bad. That's what I fear most about trimming my stash: not knowing if I'll miss certain polishes.

    @alisa: thanks!

    @feline: LOL, I'm always surprised when I see people following my Flickr since I generally just use it as a holding pen for videos and pictures I post to MUA.
    Re: Grape, yes, one is more blue and one is more purple.
    Re: Grass Stain, I'm not sure if the sticker is the only difference. I think one may have more gold shimmer but maybe they don't.

    @apaige: Yeah, I'm overrun with untrieds. Why I keep buying is beyond me. It's starting to feel like a sickness.

    @mKat: It is! I keep on meaning to try it sometime. It's one of the handful of SWs I bought from eBay.

    @rmcandlelight: Started collecting SWs?

    @Niki: Thanks! I really like the look of Flashy myself too. I wonder how it applies though... ah well, I guess I'll find out sometime.

  18. @Another bottle of polish: I don't know why they ever discontinued this line...

    @shortandsweet: LOL :)

    @Deez: Yeah, that's Pretty-Random, who has, like, the ultimate collection of photos of SW bottles.

    @Lexelle: I only have about a dozen ones that are tried so... how ever many I posted here plus 12...

    @wizardsofbling: Nope. I wish!! There are at least 200 SWs out there.

    @ReaderRita: I think the time is ripe for SWs to make a comeback. People are wearing more color and glitters than they have in years!

    @Cali369: I'll get right on that. ;)

  19. Arrghh, is it true?
    200 Street Wears? I'll never get them all.. :-D

    I'm so lucky to have a polish hoarding passion, I will never run out of fun.

  20. I only found one of my old SW polishes.. the right most TOAD version you had that sparkles, it was dried up and it was from 1997 (or so I think the copyright on it was) and I had to revive it.

  21. I had a metallic looking Grass Stain, Forest and I think Mean in High school and they got chucked when they got goopy. I never knew about thinner back then. This post made me crazy! I really wish they'd bring them back!
