Creative Cuticles Nail Polish: Mother's Day Duo

***Press Sample***

Good Afternoon!  Late to post today - been fighting with children and helping to put together a new bed frame for one of them.  It's been a day!

I've got a gorgeous and sweet Mother's Day duo to show you today by Creative Cuticles Nail Polish!

The first polish of the duo is called "Infinite:"






Infinite is a merlot-scented plum/wine colored polish, opaque in 3 coats and dry in under 5 minutes to a glossy finish, shown in the pictures above with no topcoat.

The second polish is called "To Mom:"






Shown over Infinite

To Mom is a rose-scented glitterbomb topper full of pastel pink, peach, yellow, lime green, blue, and purple glitters.  Shown above is one coat over plain white (and Infinite in the last photo).  The polish dries semi-textured, so a nice topcoat would even it out nicely.

The Ups:  These polishes apply super smoothly and dry quickly - a fantastic combination!  And I'm a sucker for scented polishes, so I loved the wonderful Merlot and Rose scents that weren't overpowering or too subtle.

The Downs:  While the scents are not overpowering on their own, if you did want to layer one over the other, the combined Rose/Merlot smell is a bit...off.  I actually got a little headache from the combined smells, thus why you only get a one-nail shot of the two together :P  However, that is the only down to this duo!  EDIT: After speaking with Creative Cuticles, she has informed me she will be offering the duo UNSCENTED as well!  

Overall:  This duo is beautiful!  A nice solid color with a beautiful pastel burst of color to compliment - perfect!  

This duo launches on April 30th on the Creative Cuticles Nail Polish website.  You can also follow updates on the Instagram and Facebook Page.

What do you think of this duo?  Are you a fan of scented polishes?

  2. This is a really cute duo! I don't really care for scented polishes, so that is a bit of a turn off. I really like the glitter topper though, so cute and perfect for Spring!

  4. To Mom is so pretty and delicate, though I'm not sure if I could handle the scented part. I hope your tomorrow is better than today! <3

  5. both are nice. I'm not a fan of scented polishes, no matter how much I try to enjoy them I still smell the nail polish scent itself instead of whatever its supposed to smell like lol
