Revlon Scented Nail Polish: Raspberry Rapture

 

This is a first for me.  I have never used a scented nail polish before and was wondering how it would work out.  I only picked up Raspberry Rapture, but they have a bunch of other scents/colors to choose from.  The above picture was taken after two coats of Raspberry Rapture outside without flash.

When wet the nail polish does not have scent, but once it dries you can  notice the scent easily.  It’s nothing over powering though and chances are only you will smell it unless you have people sniffing your fingers?! The scent reminded me of the scented markers from back in elementary school.  Which I don’t mind.  Than the real test came just how long would the scent last for?  I’m a busy mama and my hands are always cleaning something so, I was wondering if the scent would fade quickly.  To my surprise it still had a the raspberry scent a week later.

Little Tip: I found some at my local dollarama over the last couple months, so if you want to try them out for $2 head over and see what they have.

Homemade Nail Polish

My Nails of the day are inspired by cotton candy.  I don’t own a aqua, teal, or anything close to the color I needed, but I did have a eyeshadow pigment that was the exact color I was wanting.  So I decided to come up with my own DIY nail color.  It was pretty simple and I’m happy with the results.

What you need

  • Clear Nail Polish ( I used a bottle that was half gone)
  • Fine Color Pigment ( I used an eyeshadow pigment)
  • Small Funnel
  • Extra – If you want you could add in fine glitter if that’s the look your going for

All you need to do it mix the pigment into the clear nail polish and close the lid and shake.  Simple.  If you use less pigment you will have more of a translucent color and use more for a  brighter more opaque result.  With the aqua color I made above I only needed 2 coats to get a nice even result.
