Earlier this summer the drugstore nail polish brand SinfulColors unveiled a line of polishes that look and smell like snacks — doughnuts, cheese puffs, pizza, chocolate cake and tacos.
OK, sure, scented nail polish isn’t revolutionary, but dang! — props for creativity!
That said, as much as I like Taco Tuesdays and Cheetos, I *cannot* handle my nails smelling like a crispy beef taco with sour cream (because I’m assuming guac is extra). Or pepperoni nails? BARF! I give the savory scents a hard pass.
And the sweet scents, too, despite my sweet tooth. I just can’t take my fingertips smelling like a glazed doughnut. ?
How about you? How do you feel about snack scented nail polishes? To what degree would it depend on the snack?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. TGIF! ?
I think we’re so programmed to the smell of nitrocellulose, it would cause cognitive dissonance to have nail polish smell like anything else. Or, what would the level of synthetic fragrance have to be to mask the actual smell of nail polish?
IOW: No thank you!
I’m wondering what’s up with all these cutesy, gimmicky beauty products these days? Covid blues? New marketing tactics? I’m such a curmudgeon — I’m so not feeling it.
Happy Friday! We’re getting our hurricane kit ready. The hardest part is not snacking on our hurricane food. lol
I like my nail polish to smell like nail polish. I hate when any cosmetics smell like food. I can barely stand it when lipstick smells like vanilla, let alone all the heavy floral scents some brands use. I don’t want eye shadow that smells like chocolate or peaches. I sure as heck don’t want my fingers to smell like savory food. Smelling food scents all the time just makes me hungry and causes me to graze.
Maybe I’m just getting grumpier and more set in my ways as I get older.
When I was your age…. Lol.
Have a wonderful weekend.
A few years ago Revlon had scented nail polishes and, man, did I love them! Esp. the winter mint smelled just like the perfect peppermint chocolate candy.
Your post actually reminds me that I should wear those polishes again (I think I still have them somewhere) 🙂
I remember that, too, Jana! I had a brown, fall scented one (pumpkin spice or something similar). I chucked it when it started to separate but it smelled awesome.
A pass for me, too. I eat more than I need to, so I don’t need my nails smelling of food. It’s the same reason that I don’t buy candles that smell like food. Don’t need something else to make me hungry.
Scented nail polish sounds real weird. I’ll pass! But you know I hate scented stuff!
All I could think of was how much I wanted to steal your pizza in that pic. HAHA! That looks SO good. 🙂
