Red Carpet Manicure (RCM) Postcards From Milan Collection Swatches

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.
