REVLON PARFUMERIE SCENTED NAIL ENAMEL

These adorable nail polishes debuted a little while back and every time I am at the grocery store I am tempted to pick a couple up. Finally last week these were on special, that combined with the adorable packaging was too hard to resist. I scooped these up in two colors Ginger Melon and Apricot Nectar.

If you haven’t heard about these yet they are scented nail polishes from Revlon. I must admit I usually stick to the same couple of brands for polish ( Essie, Deborah Lippmann, Sally Hansen, and OPI) but the sweet apothecary style packaging on these drew me in and the fact they were scented was an interesting concept too.

Revlon has a full line of 24 shades to choose from ranging in scents from sweet and fruity to flowery and spicy. I really love both shades I picked up and think they are perfect for spring and summer. They apply nicely in thin even coats you can get away with two coats but they will look best if you apply three. These smell like regular polishes when wet but once dry are very fragranced. Ginger Melon is a very girly tropical pink (perfect with a summer tan) and smells like cotton candy when dry. It is super sweet so if that is your thing I would recommend this. Personally it is a little too sweet but I really love the color.

Apricot Nectar is a lovely coral cantaloupe shade that I think is very similar to Essie’s Tarte Deco (a total favorite of mine!) Apricot Nectar is scented much lighter and with more floral notes and I actually quite like it a lot. The scent lasts for a few days and I definitely catch myself sniffing my nails while at work (which I am sure looks very strange to my co-workers!). In all I really like these polishes, the color range is great and I don’t mind them being scented one bit. I would buy the whole line just to display these cuties on my counter! These should be readily available at your drugstore or Ulta if not you can buy online from Revlon.com.
