I'm delighted that you found a suitable replacement and so touched that you came back here over a year later to share the good news with me. Thank you!!!<br /><br />Enjoy Pink Diamonds & have a stellar autumn!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-67489583844531706152015-10-18T08:35:48.610-07:002015-10-18T08:35:48.610-07:00Found it!

The shade is No. 18 Pink Diamond and it's just as I remember the original Revlon Pink Platinum to be. Even on older hands, it still suits me. Result!

It's always a treat when an older post inspires someone to do as much. I shall keep my eyes firmly peeled for any polishes that seem, to me at least, to fit the Goldilocks-esque bill of being neither too pearly nor lacking in pearl and let you know here if I see one that seems like it might be a good fill in for Frosted Pink Platinum.<br /><br />Revlon launched their Legacy Collection of lipsticks a few months ago, so who knows, perhaps they'll revive some classic nail hues one day and your beloved pink will be amongst it. Fingers crossed! <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-15247406709845565792014-07-03T10:54:02.871-07:002014-07-03T10:54:02.871-07:00In 1962, I had just turned 15.

It cost me two weeks' pocket money but I had to have it. It was the sweetest, frostiest, palest candy pink imaginable, and everyone raved about it when I wore it but it seems that I had bought the last (only? ) bottle. I used it to the last drop, but I was never able to get a polish in that colour with the right degree of frosting or depth of colour again. They were either too brightly pink with too little pearling, or else there was so much silvering in them that you couldn't see the colour. So, it's been a huge delight to see this vintage ad with what seems to be my old favourite on the poster.

I saw some similar pastel colours recently, which I was tempted by. <br /><br />Like you I usually stick to red and pink but I do have a bright yellow which I go for very occasionally. It goes surprisingly well with some of my clothes, particularly when I'm playing with a 60s look every once in a while. The problem with it is that it stains my nails awfully so then I'm obliged to keep up nail polish every day until my nails grow out! I like to let my nails "breathe" sometimes so that's a bit of a pain. But it doesn't stop me wearing the yellow!Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-66908882657677802872011-08-26T07:30:22.405-07:002011-08-26T07:30:22.405-07:00Whenever I am down in the dumps and flat broke I k...Whenever I am down in the dumps and flat broke I know that if I have a dollar in my pocket I can get a bottle of nail polish to brighten my spirits. It's a quick, temporary fix to whatever ails me. I usually go for some shade of nail polish that in a saner state of mind I wouldn't buy, and sometimes I am happily surprised at the outcome.pattychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12794698451921706705noreply@blogger.com
