My Revlon Parfumerie Picks

I am sucker for a sale.  So when Walgreens had a Revlon sale last month, I chose a few of the new Parfumerie polishes to play with.  Typically, I try to stay away from scented polishes, but I had read some good reviews of this collection.  Overall, these polishes had a pleasant scent and was not overpowering in the slightest.  Some reviews stated that the scent was lost once a top coat was applied, but that was not the case for me.  I will be sharing my three picks from this collection with you today: Italian Leather, Apricot Nectar and Autumn Spice.

This post is picture heavy, so be sure to click on through for all the swatch goodness.  (And some awesome macro shots!)


First up is Apricot Nectar.  This was a soft coral/peachy crème with a sweet citrus scent.  The scent was light and not overpowering.   The first coat was a little streaky, but the second coat smoothed it out nicely.  My accent nail is Tomoko by Zoya.

Next is Italian Leather!  I would describe this color as olive green with a gold shimmer.  The scent did not make me think of leather nor of Italy.  But it was light and pleasant, better than other scented polishes I have tried.  I really liked this polish and don't have any color in my collection quite like it.  I used two coats for this manicure with a accent nail of Angel Wings by China Glaze. 

Last but not least, is Autumn Spice.  This polish was so amazing!!  I was shocked that this came from a drug store brand.  Not only was the scent perfect (I am a sucker for spiced scents) but the formula was superb.  I used only one coat in these swatches, it applied so smoothly.  Autumn Spice is a dark brown polish with incredible gold/copper micro flakes that shifted with the light.  So pretty!  My accent nail is My Two Cents by Ulta.



Check out this macro!  Drool worthy, right?!?

I purchased these polishes from Walgreens, but I know they are available from many of the drug and beauty stores that already sell Revlon.  If you can find Autumn Spice...you should definitely pick it up!
