It's been 4 days since I posted but holidays are a busy time (:
Anyways, after purchasing the China Glaze mini set that contained Re-Fresh Mint and Light as Air, I wanted to find a cheaper alternative.
I saw the Revlon Speed Dry nail polishes on sale at London Drugs and I decided to pick up Jaded & Lily.
From comparing the colors on the bottle, it appears that the China Glaze versions are more muted versions of the Revlon nail polishes.
The picture features the 2 coats of the nail polishes, in person I would recommend 3.
Lighter colors tend to need more coats of nail polish then dark colors.
From the bottle, they look fairly similar but when you apply Re-Fresh Mint and Jaded, Jaded is clearly lighter in color.
The lilac purples are actually opposites of the mint green nail polishes.
The Revlon version is darker in color, its more vibrant and perhaps that is why I prefer it over Light as Air by China Glaze.
You can't really tell in the pictures but in real life Lily by Revlon is darker :D
*awkward empty space* (:
Now for the actual review of the nail polishes I purchased lately.
I wish that every polish I owned would dry as fast as these do, it makes applying 3 coats more bearable (:
It's odd that brands like OPI and China glaze don't produce fast drying nail polishes.
Perhaps it's a way to promote the use of fast dry top coats.
If only one nail polish product was sufficient to take care of your manicure, these companies run out of business.
Base coats, top coats, fast drying top coat, are all very important for the nail painting process.
Without these items, you will end up with chipped, stained and possibly nicked nails :P
Enough of my tangent, it is time to focus back onto the actual products. (:

They look nice but they don't dry as fast, thus promoting accidents to occur D:
I hope that you will enjoy these colors as much as I do (:
