I love Broadway musicals. When I was younger, living thousands of miles from the Great White Way, I'd make my siblings, cousins, friends, everyone watch PBS's Great Performances, the Tonys, and the odd random tour performance with me. Now that I live here, I like suprising friends with tickets to actual shows (thank you, TKTS!). This Sunday, we took our friends to see In The Heights and they took us to brunch on the Upper West Side.
If I was going to be dining on microdairy cheeses and gourmet sausages while sipping bellinis, I figured I should switch up my sparkly holiday polish for something
chic... perfect time to try out Revlon Perplex!
This is a dark grayish taupe with a faint purple shimmer - much like its pricier alternative Paradoxal. Like other taupes, it can pull purple, gray, or a muddier brown, depending on skin tone. For $4-5, it's definitely worth trying this shade out if you can find a bottle.

Perplex went on deep and glossy on me in two medium coats. It didn't agree with my Gelous-Seche Vite combo, though. That's not tip wear in the pictures. That's major shrinkage :( Even with wrapping, it just pulled away from the edges. Since I'm changing back to my holiday glitter bombs tomorrow, I'm not that upset, but next time I wear it, I'll try another top coat. This shade is awesome - I gotta make it work without shrinkage!
