NOTD: Revlon Nail Enamel in Copper Penny

Two coats of Revlon Nail Enamel in Copper Penny. Deep Warm Copper Metallic.

Metallics are so not my jam, but this color...le sigh...totally feeling it - especially for fall festivities {Thanksgiving, anyone?}.

Copper Penny is the quintessential harvest shade, capturing the last flickering lights of summer, and blending them seamlessly with a rich, pumpkin spice-esque warmth that is just gorgeous!

The formula here was flawless, reaching opacity like that {with thicker coats, this could even be a OCW}, and leaving zero brushstrokes. Autumn essential right here, babes!

NOTD: Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel in Surf Spray

Three coats of Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel in Surf Spray. Aqua Blue Jelly with Shimmer.

I've been loving blue polishes as of late, so when I spotted Surf Spray in my latest blog swap package from Quinn of Mama Fashionista, I had to put it on - immediately!

You guys, this one is a total winner! The color is so breathtaking if you're looking to capture a splash of summer on your nails. Bonus: it has a soft, clean ocean scent!

The formula was sheer but incredibly easy to work with, and it lasted for days with no chips {just a teeny tiny bit of tipwear}. Highly recommended!

NOTD: Revlon Nail Enamel in Urban

One coat of Revlon Nail Enamel Urban from the Bubble Gum Days, Urban Nights Collection. Navy Blue.

I spotted Olivia Wilde wearing this nail shade in the Revlon adverts {rocking gorgeous golden locks btw} and knew I had to have it for two reasons: 1} the name...Urban - so vampy and cosmopolitan; 2} I have very few navy blue shades in my collection {ridic, right?}; and so I made it mine during an impromptu Ulta trip.

Perfect purchase. Urban is one of those elusive one coat wonders. It's opaque, self-leveling, and long-lasting after a single swipe. I found the formula to be fantastic in terms of depth/weight - not too thick; not too thin. This may be my new favorite navy. Highly recommended.
