Would You Wear Scented Nail Polish?
Strangebeautiful Perfume Polish, $28, anthropologie.com
We love perfume and we love nail polish. So when we learned about Strangebeautiful’s Perfume Polish, we knew that it would be right up our alley. The new offering is a collaboration between the creator of niche polish company Strangebeautiful, Jane Schub, and independent perfumer, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz.
The earthy fragrance is called Violet Leather and is a combination of black leather, tobacco, ylang ylang, tuberose, and sandalwood. What we think is so smart about this lacquer is that it’s clear, so it can be applied over any nail color. But buyer beware: The polish is pricey (a steep $28 a pop), especially when you consider that the fragrance only lasts for a day. But die-hard polish lovers are sure to eat this up, so if you’re interested, act fast and score your bottle at Anthropologie now.

StrangeBeautiful's "Volume V"
Inspired by menstrual blood, bruises and European painters, Volume V is an infinite price of $75, but it’s all the rage and ALREADY “sold out”! With each polish named after what inspired the creators, StrangeBeautiful’s collection comes in ten bold shades and, if you’re lucky enough to find them on sale somewhere, these colours are definitely worth it!
