Fall is almost here! Revlon Autumn Berry

Today's the first day of September! Along with a seasonable temperature of 70 degrees comes the promise of the sweaters, pumpkin spice, and cool breezes that make autumn my favorite season. Maybe it's just an autumn baby thing (my birthday is 2 months from today!), but as soon as the summer heat starts fading and the leaves start falling, I get all sorts of hyped. What better way to celebrate the upcoming season than with an aptly-titled vintage polish?

Don't ask me when Revlon Autumn Berry came out, because I've got no idea. (If I had to make an educated guess, though, I'd put it in the ballpark of 20-30 years old.) It's just one of those old gold ring Revlons that makes me smile. I have at least 20 of these older Revlons in my collection, and I'd absolutely love to add some more. Based on the lack of paint on the bottle and the fact that it's only about 3/4 full, Autumn Berry was well loved before it fell into my grubby little vintage-loving hands. Here it is in 3 coats + TC.

Autumn Berry is the perfect name for this polish. It's a deep brown-red with a hint of golden shimmer. It's rich, it's sumptuous, and it'd pair very nicely with a sweater and a heavy plaid scarf. It just SCREAMS fall! To be fair, so do a lot of these vintage Revlons - the first ones from my collection that come to mind are Wild One (a blackened berry shimmer) and Iced Cocoa (a rich dark brown shimmer). Do you see why I want more of these old Revlons? They're AWESOME!

Here's an obligatory label & closeup of thumb shot that shows off the shimmer a little more.

I seriously can't get enough of this polish. I've been wanting to wear it again for at least a couple of weeks now, but it just wasn't seasonal yet. I wore all of my brights and neons all August long, and now it's time for my vampy shades to shine! I'm partial to dark colors on my nails, and while I tend to disregard the "rule" that they can only be worn during fall/winter, I had so many new summery shades to try out!

I'll most definitely be keeping this one in my regular rotation well into winter. How could I not? I may also be showing off some of my other old Revlons soon. Until next time... PEACE! xoxo
