Revlon Parfumerie Italian Leather

September 21, 2014

Hi everyone!

Fall has officially begun so I thought to show you a nail polish that is perfect for this season.

This is Revlon Italian Leather, from the Parfumerie collection. It’s a grey-ish olive green with bronze shimmer and it’s scented. Well, that’s not really a scent for me, it really stinks! Anyway, the colour is just gorgeous, I love it! And what about the bottle? So pretty!

Application wise it was tricky. It dragged kinda like a holo, which I didn’t expect from it. I used two coats and covered with top coat. I realized I had some bald spots on some nails though.

Ciao a tutti!

L’Autunno รจ ufficialmente iniziato quindi ho deciso di mostrarvi uno smalto perfetto per questa stagione.

Si tratta del Revlon Italian Leather, della linea Parfumerie, sbarcata da qualche mese anche in Italia. E’ un verde oliva quasi grigiastro con forte shimmer bronzeo. E dovrebbe essere profumato, non fosse che per me questa รจ puzza, mica profumo! Cmq il colore รจ meraviglioso, per non parlare della boccetta troppo caruccia!

La stesura รจ stata difficoltosa, un po’ come alcuni olografici: passando sullo stesso punto il colore veniva via, e non me l’aspettavo proprio. Ho dato due mani e coperto il tutto con top coat, ma mi sono accorta che avevo ancora dei buchi vuoti.

I love the colour as much as I dislike the formula. Can you recommend me anything similar but easier to work with?
Adoro tantissimo questo colore ma la stesura รจ stata davvero problematica. Vi viene in mente qualcosa di simile ma migliore da questo punto di vista?

    I bought one yesterday that I could swear it's almost the same as this one, maybe with a little bit more shimmer. It's Andreia 81, although I have no idea if the formula is any better.

      Let me know when you'll use it! I don't know where to find Andreia though, it's not available over here and I don't think I've ever seen any online sellers!

    Maybe Essie's Armed and Ready? It's similar (not dupe, I think, haven't used it yet), Essies are often great in their formulas. I like this one :)

    Peccato per i problemi di stesura. Questi smalti hanno cmq quel tappo orrendo per l'applicazione :/
    Cmq immagino la puzza... pelle italiana???? XD Probabilmente il sedile di un vecchio divano...

    I have Essie Armed and Ready, the formula was good and looks a lot like this one. Such a bummer about the formula on this, I know I was hesitant to pick any of this line up because people had complained about the scents, I guess this is just one more reason o be glad I didn't buy any.

    I love the colours in a lot of the Revon Parfumerie polishes but that subtle scent just doesn't mesh with my allergies. :( That colour looks great on you, so I hope you find another polish with a similar colour and better application! :)
