Revlon Scented Not So Blueberry

Let me preface this by saying this is one of Revlon's scented nail polishes. The idea of scented nail polish is intriguing, but if you're sensitive to smells I don't think these are ideal for you. These tend to be intensely scented to the point I find them slightly nauseating. This is just me though, but I would like to throw it out there to those of us with more sensitive noses! Even though I say all that as you'll see below, I'm willing to make some sacrifices.


Not So Blueberry
Not So Blueberry is light-medium periwinkle foil metallic.

I absolutely love this color! I can't tell you enough. Usually when it comes to these foil/metallic finishes with color in them they are tend to be very lightly pigmented, but this one does have punch of color. Plus, it's in that blue-violet/blurple shade range which is one of my favorites. I don't own any other color like this.

Now on to the downside. This has one of those artificial fruity smells. It's very strong in my opinion and off putting. That all being said, I think for this type of color call me crazy, but I'll take a chance on the headache and queasiness that might ensue from putting on this polish.

What do we for nail polish! We drive around town visiting various locations for a certain polish ,we stalk e-tailers for new collections, we'll break out $$ for HTF colors, and now we'll settle for having a migraine just to wear a pretty color! That leads me to this question....


What is the most ridiculous thing you think you've done for nail polish?

Happy Tuesday!

Revlon Scented Ocean Breeze

Scented polish. This is probably one of those things I should stay away from. It always sounds so intriguing, but it's probably not the ideal product for someone who is sensitive to smells. This Revlon is a nice color, but blech I can do without the smell!

Ocean Breeze
 
Ocean Breeze is a shimmery/frosty teal with blue flash.

Like I said, nice color, but not so nice smell. This doesn't smell like "Ocean Breeze" to me. It actually reminds me of this body spray I used at sleep away summer camp when I was 13. I know that's not helpful. It smells kind of like a bubble bath. I like the smell of bubble bath, but this is just too strong. The fragrance is so concentrated that it is nauseating and headache producing. The actual scent isn't terrible it's the intensity of it that's the problem. "Ocean Breeze" should be light and crisp, not heavy. Some people could be alright with this, but I really don't recommend this if you're sensitive to strong smells. This nauseated me and brought on a bit of a headache. :(

Happy Saturday!
