The Revlon Scented Polishes are polishes that dry to light fragrance. If you smell them while they are in the bottle you’ll get a small hint of what the fragrance will be, however, that will be masked with the typical “nail polish” smell. Once dry, you’ll be able to get a whiff of the true fragrance occasionally. The Revlon Scented Polishes are available in 24 different scents wherever Revlon products are sold near you.
Ease of Application
This particular shade of Revlon Scented Polish has glitter specs throughout. Usually when it comes to polishes with glitter in them, I have a hard time applying them. This was not the case with this polish. It applied smoothly with no snagging and the glitter went over the nail bed evenly. Also, the polish dried quickly to be able to apply the second coat.
Score: 10 out of 10
Color
The first coat of the Wintermint Revlon Scented Polish went on very patchy and was super light. The second coat did even out the patchiness and make the color a bit more vibrant. However, I hate when the first coat of polish isn’t even passable as wearing.
Score: 6 out of 10
Feel
The feel of the Wintermint Revlon Scented Polish is very similar to a textured polish like an OPI Liquid Sand or Zoya Pixie Dust, just without as much graininess. I personally like the texture of the polish, however, if you don’t like the feel of textured polishes you can use a top coat to make this glossy. The drawback though is that you will lose the scent that is there.
Score: 8 out of 10
Lasting Power
The lasting power of the polish itself was typical of a drugstore nail polish. What I really want to discuss here is the lasting power of the scent. The Wintermint scent smells like a mint chewing gum when it first dries. After awhile the scent starts to fade away, however, a bit of it does last for quite awhile. It doesn’t last no where near long enough if your drugstore charges above $7 for this. If you can find it for around $5, especially during a BOGO 1/2 off sale, then it’s perfect.
I love the idea of scented polish, but like you, I like my polish to cover on the first coat and I can tell looking at this that it won’t. That’s a bummer. I don’t always have time to get the second coat on, so that’s a deal breaker for me.
i love that color!! the sparkles just add an extra dab of fab!
I like the little specs of color in the polish. I am all for things with a little twist like that, so I will have to grab a bottle!
Scented! How neat! I’ve never heard of this.
I really like the finish on those colors. I wish I could paint my nails neatly!!!
Nail polish usually smells bad. This is a unique idea.
Every time I see nail polish i think to make a mental note for my 7 yr old who is slightly addicted to nail polish… sadly, she did not get it from me.
That is a very light polish at one coat. You think the scent would last longer since that’s the unique feature of this product line.
This is so cool! I love the idea of a nail polish with a scent. I’m going to have to try these out.
Scented nail polish. What an interesting idea! It sure looks pretty, though.
I haven’t seen these in stores yet but they sound cool! Thank for the honest review – I might have to go buy a bottle!

This nail polish seems like a pretty cool concept. I probably wear this polish on my toes since I never polish my finger nails since it always seems to chip easily.
I love sparkly green shades of nail polish. I bet it was hard to keep your hands away from your face all day 🙂
What a genius idea putting a fragrance into a nail polish!! Love it!
I hate it when one coat isn’t enough, either. Polish actually wears longer if you put on one coat. Too bad!
This is so neat. I have never heard of a nail polish with fragrance in it. I am intrigued,
That’s such a pretty color. I could see myself using that polish over and over again. I’ll have to look for this.
I have been trying to wear more nail polish to keep from biting my nails. I always hesitate with sparkles because the finish is rough. Thanks for this info. I will have to look for a few bottles.
I occasionally browse the nail polish aisle but I have to admit I have not come across the Revlon scented polish yet. It’s an interesting concept. Thanks for your review! Next time I am at the store I will have to remember to check out the different colors/scents available.
I’ve never head of this! I definitely want to give it a try. I love that color!
This looks just like the DL polish! Mermaid something or other!
I’ve never heard of scented nail polish before. Neat idea, since some polishes smell so obnoxious.
I get my nails done about every 3 weeks. The polish never smells, but in the shop does. This color was perfect for St Patrick’s Day!
With a toddler and a five-year old, I’m always on the lookout for lasting power. It looks like this one is quite pretty but doesn’t last too long. For this reason, I typically get my finger nails buffed and only polish my toenails.
The idea of scented polish is quite interesting. I bet the teens love it. I would end up smelling my fingers all the time and people would start to wonder…lol……
I think this nail polish is really pretty!
How fun that they’re scented. I’d try these in a heartbeat!
Thanks for this detailed review….your scoring system is very helpful! I love the idea of a lightly scented nail polish.
Interesting. I love the big pieces of glitter mixed in!
Love this idea!!! I’m totally going to try them!
I really like that color. So perfect for Easter.
The idea of smelly nail polish is intriguing. I’d love to give it a try.
I love this! I will for sure be checking the scented polish out! Fun change for my nails!
I would love a scented polish! I usually wear black, but Im trying out new shades.
Love the color! Something I really need to check out!
gasp!! they make scented nail polish?! omg i need to find this stuff!!
It looks a little thing for my taste as well – but for the price it may be worth it!
I love this color! I also can’t even imagine what a scented polish smells like, haha.
Hmm this is interesting. I dont think I need to have my polish have a scent.
I’ve never seen or heard of Revlon scented polish. I hate the smell of polish so I like that they gave this one a light scent
Nail polish that is scented is an awesome idea. I would need a bit more staying power though.
Super pretty! I agree about the color test. It needs to be wearable with one coat, sometimes my girl’s don’t allow for anymore 😉
I am loving that color!! It’s perfect for Spring!!
I am a fan of nail polish. I probably have at least 100 different bottles. Not of them are scented though. I must try these.
I love that color. I need a new nail polish so I’m going to try to find this around here.
hmmm… having mint fingernails might make me want to bit my nails! I love mint!
I didn’t even know they made scented nail polish. that’s kind of nifty!
