Not So Blueberry

Revlon has re-released scented nail enamels. These have been out in previous years, and I was excited to pick up Not So Blueberry which I had missed earlier. These scented nail polishes are fragranced even after drying. Initially I was intrigued by the novelty of it. I wondered if it would actually smell after application and how long it would last. I also worried if the fragrance would effect the formula.

The formula was a pleasant surprise. Two coats for Not So Blueberry, a shimmering purple-berry foil, to a completely opaque coverage. Bubble Gum needed three coats; it had more of a slightly transparent creme finish, though not quite jelly.

I was expecting scent, but I don't think I was expecting the degree of fragrance. I love perfume, but the fragrances radiating from my nails was actually interfering with my perfume on my body. Even after 24+ hours of wear, a shower and numerous hand scrubbings, the blueberry and bubblegum scents, which kinda just smelled the same after a while, were still going strong. So, the novelty of scented nail polish wore off faster than the actual fragrance. Also, I think it looks weird to be sniff your nails constantly. :)

Bubble Gum

Bubble Gum actually smelled more like watermelon than gum! Sniff sniff.

Do you want your nail polish scented? What fragrance would you put in your lacquer?
