Sorry for being MIA lately, I have contractors in the house doing renovations and they keep knocking out my internet lines!
Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel is nothing that new (I believe the range was released a while back in the states), but since these polishes only very recently hit our Australian shores, I thought I would post about them anyways!
I'm not the biggest fan of Revlon's nail products, but what initially caught my attention is the packaging of these - I really like the rectangular bottle design with the round knob at the top, it definitely stood out against the regular Revlon nail polish bottles! More importantly though, the formula is simply amazing! I only need about 2 coats to achieve a full opaque finish and it applies with no streakiness. It also wears a good week before I started to notice some very minor chipping, and I think I could have gotten away with 2 weeks if I was a little more careful.
Wintermint - from swatches I've seen in the blogging world, this seems to be a very close dupe to Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream (which I don't actually own - so correct me if I'm wrong). I like the pairing of the mint green with the blue glitters, though it's not something I would usually go for.
I have to admit I've never been big on scented nail polish, the concept still seems strange to me, but I guess it's a thing now! Wintermint, as the name suggests, definitely carries the scent of mint, and as for Italian Leather...it honestly does not smell like leather - I don't know how to describe it though! The scent does linger on about a day or two after the formula dries, but it's not noticeable unless you have your nails real close to your nose, so I don't mind it so much.

OPI ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE & DEBORAH LIPPMANN I LOVE THE NIGHTLIFE
I seldom make nail related posts, mainly because I don't bother with anything that takes too much time (I can't stay still) or keep up-to-date with the latest nail art/polish trends. I'm terribly lazy when it comes to painting my nails - one solid colour is all I go for and I don't usually take on glitter because I absolutely loathe the removal process.
This here really isn't anything fancy, but I stepped out of my usual routine with OPI On Her Majesty's Secret Service topped with Deborah Lippmann I Love the Nightlife and I really like how the two pair together. This is quite a simple combination, but it's been getting a few compliments here and there so I thought it would be worth a feature!
Products I used include: OPI Natural Base Coat, OPI On Her Majesty's Secret Service (2 coats), Deborah Lippmann I Love the Nightlife (2 coats) and Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. Okay, so I know Seche Vite is a little controversial, but this stuff really does it's job, FAST! Literally touch dry in 1-2 minutes after application - and I had on thick coats too. Still, it's probably not worth risking my health over. Do you guys have any suggestions for me?
