Revlon Secluded Beach is a pretty pinky-purple-y nude taupe kind of color. It's a nice alternative to pink or nude for work, as it has a bit more interest, but is still very subdued. There is a lot of gorgeous purple shimmer in the bottle, but it really doesn't show up on the nails. I only caught a glimpse of it in direct sun and even then it wasn't too noticeable. I like this color for when I need a non-flashy manicure, but if I could see the purple shimmer more I would LOVE it!! It would be an absolute knock-out with more obvious purple shimmer. It's still a pretty interesting color though, sometimes it looks more purple, other times more taupe.
Secluded Beach was pretty easy to apply, it was a little thin, but not in a bad way. I needed three coats for full opacity. It still had a hair of VNL after two coats.

Being the huge sucker for orange polish that I am, I obviously love Revlon Mai Tai Ask?. Mai Tai Ask? is a gorgeous bright red-orange creme. Do I already have
Mai Tai Ask? has an excellent formula. So pigmented, I used two coats, but it could almost be a thick one-coater. It is a little thicker than some of the other polishes in this collection, but I found that actually worked to it's advantage. I was able to get nice and close to the cuticle with no trouble at all.

Revlon Hello, Bali is an interesting red-purple crelly (creme and jelly). I was expecting it to just be a creme, but you can see it has decidedly jelly-ish tendencies. I absolutely love what Revlon was trying to do here. This particular shade of purple in a crelly finish would be stunning if the formula was a tad better. I don't think I own a crelly in a shade anything close to this, so I'm still pretty excited about this one.
Hello, Bali was very thin and runny. It flooded my cuticles a couple times during these swatches. It also was hard to get it to look even. You can see the color is more concentrated in some areas than in others. That being said, the color is gorgeous and I do love the squishy finish!
Overall, I definitely recommend checking out the Revlon Haute Tropics collection. If you missed my swatches of the first three, you can see them here. I love all three blues and the orange especially! Perfect summer colors!
