Scent of a Foil

Today I have one of my latest polish purchases on my nails, if you recall from this post I picked up a few Color Club polishes from their holiday 2012 collection at Sally's last month. I decided to wear the blue foil Gift of Sparkle.

Gift of sparkle is a medium blue foil that applied perfectly in one coat. Yup, that's right, these photos only show one coat only! In the bottle the polish appears to have some silver running throughout, however, in the nail it appears to look more similar to a blue shimmer. The formula was a bit thick but nothing unmanageable, the actual colour it's self is also deeply saturated.

Gift of Sparkle is scented, the name of the polish doesn't give a hint to the scent, and after sniffing and sniffing I can't come up with what it is either. During my initial swatches I remember it being quite sweet and overbearing, but worn as a mani it is not that bad. I just wish I knew what the scent is supposed to be! I even searched online, other bloggers were stumped as well. Do you own this polish, what do you think it smells like?

  1. It's rumored to be a chocolate scent, like hot cocoa.I just picked it up in the Sally's clearance rack myself. Looks good on you!

    1. you know what, I think that is what it is, something chocolaty. It has the weird artificial "chocolate" smell and I think that is what was throwing me off, I was expecting something sweet and fruity. Thanks for enlightening me!

    1. it is a lot prettier than I had expected, I got it specifically for stamping, although I haven't tried it out yet. It doesn't really smell like hot cocoa, more of an artifical chocolate scent.
