How
dinky and cute is the packaging of the Revlon Parfumerie™ Scented Nail Enamel, it
really is reminiscent of the dusty vintage parfum bottles on your grandma’s
dresser or at the thrift shops. But in the real world, cute usually translates
to impractical. The stupid stubby round cap makes it hard to get a good grip of
the brush, and the brush itself is really thin which is such a pain as it’s
hard to coat your nails efficiently. Good golly, I haven’t even applied it on
my nails yet and I already have so many gripples with it.
I picked
up the shade Wintermint as it’s a duplicate of Deborah Lippmann’s Mermaid’s
dream. The Revlon Parfumerie polishes retailing at $60hkd are almost a quarter
of the price of Deborah Lippmann polishes. In my opinion Wintermint is not as
nice as Mermaid’s dream. Wintermint looks flat whereas Mermaid’s dream is
denser and has more dimension and shimmer. Nonetheless it’s still fun being at
a fraction of the price of the Deborah Lippmann. Now if only they would make a
dupe of Mermaid’s kiss, which is my favourite of the Deborah Lippmann mermaid
series.
