Hello loves! Today I have just a short & sweet post for you! About two weeks ago, I attended a CPNA (CosmoProf North America) party in NYC and had the pleasure of connecting with so many awesome people & brands. One of them being Chef Roble. If you are a Bravo fan, then you have most definitely seen his show! He has been called one of the hottest up and coming chefs and has released a fragrance and scented nail lacquer.
I swear, as soon as I walked into the event I immediately spotted his booth loaded with polish. I’m not usually one to gravitate towards scented nail lacquer, but I was very intrigued by this color. I would describe it as an olive green with strong gold undertones. Needless to say, it is definitely beautiful and looks like you are wearing liquid gold on your tips.
This shade is a metallic finish so you will see some slight brush strokes. I was actually REALLY impressed by the formula. I only needed two coats for full opacity. As far as the scent goes, I didn’t really find it overpowering. You can definitely start to smell it right away when it dries.
Roble describes the scent as an irresistible fragrance recipe that maintains the freshness of a citrus cocktail on top, with an alluring and sensual dessert base containing notes from one of his favorite dessert recipes – French Toast Crunch.
I’m not sure how strong the fragrance is as I don’t have that to compare, but I found the scent on this to be very light and VERY sweet. I did also end up using a top coat, and that kind of diluted the scent as well.
Overall, I think the shade is BEAUTIFUL and I am incredibly impressed with how well it applied! If you’re looking for a polish that makes you look like you are wearing some serious luxe liquid gold, this is for you!
What do you think about Clique by Roble? Are you a scented polish fan?

The fragrance of this polish sounds divine.
I do like scented polishes, it just intrigues me heheh. I love the color!
French toast crunch!?! I want it! Haha lovely color!
Scented polishes are so interesting to me! This one really is like liquid gold.
I can take or leave scented polish. That colour is kinda divine, tho.
No fragrance for me but it is a pretty polish.
Really interesting color. Perfect mani 🙂
I have a few scented polishes, and generally like them. I was kinda hoping that a chef’s polish might smell like rib roast or cheese souffle…
This color looks great on you! I don’t think I could pull this one off.
OOoOo I don’ t have a shade like this… yet!
That is a fun color!
I would probably pass on the color, but I always love sniffing those scented polishes 🙂
I have some of the scented Revlons but have not tried them yet. It is an interesting idea!
I haven’t used scented polish since middle school!
I’m not a fan of scented polish, but this is a true stunner! So I’d totally buy this.
I am torn about scented polishes, some I like, some smell too strong and cause me migraines.
Ooh – this is such a fun color – I think golds are so cool in any nail polish collection and this is a shade I don’t think I have anything like.
A polish line designed by chef is so intriguing. I’m not sure how I feel about scented polish, but I would be curious to try this out.
I really like scented shades!
I actually like how rich this color looks!
That is GORGEOUS. I needs it!
Oh it’s a beautiful color plus it sounds like it smells delicious!
This colour looks really good on you! The scent sounds lovely, although scent isn’t really a buying point for me on polishes.
What an interesting and unique shade! It looks lovely on you but I don’t think it would suit me as well.
I LOVE anything citrus. I’ll have to look for their booth at CPNA.
How cool!! I can honestly say this is the first that I’ve heard of a chef creating a polish line but it’s awesome!! This is a gorgeous color and the scent has me intrigued!!!
I’m always a bit trepidatious about scented polish but this color is gorgeous!
