Red Carpet Manicure Postcards From Milan Collection Swatches & Review

Red Carpet Manicure’s (RCM) Postcards From Milan collection has six rich, dark shades that are perfect for fall and winter. Each shade has a lovely, subtle metallic shimmer. I really liked the formula of these polishes and the opacity… most only required two coats for full coverage.

This is In Style, a gorgeous color that reminds me of cranberries.  When I compare this color with my other swatches, it’s really very unique.  It’s too purple to be considered a red, but a little too red to be considered purple.

Behind the Scenes is my personal favorite color from this collection.  It’s a dark green with golden shimmer, but it also seems to have some blue/teal undertones.  I’ve been wearing this color for a couple of days now and really don’t want to take it off.  I added some gold floral stamps on top of this color, which you can see here.

On the Catwalk is a lovely shimmery grey.  It’s very versatile and would match just about any outfit.  The color in person is actually slightly darker than it appears in my photos below.

I Own the Runway is a dark burgundy shade.  The formula of this polish seemed to be a little different from the rest… maybe a little jelly-like.  It has a little shimmer to it, but not as noticeable as in the other colors.  This is the only color that I applied three coats with because I felt that it was a little uneven with just two coats.  The third coat made it a much darker shade – with just two coats it was noticeably more red.

Front Row Fab is a unique shade of purple with a golden shimmer.  I really love this color.  I would say it’s more of a blue-ish purple.  How would you describe it?

On Trend is a vibrant dark blue with metallic shimmer.  It’s really an amazing color in person.

I always receive comments staying that the polishes in my photos look very matte.  That is just a result of the way my lightbox filters the light.  The polishes are all nice and shiny in natural light.  Below is a quick pick that I took of my swatch sticks under a regular light to show you.  :)

So what do you think of this collection?  I have to say that I Own the Runway is a little dark for my taste, but I think all of the other colors are absolutely amazing.  All of the colors are new and unique additions to my collection.
