Crayola Scented Nail Polish Swatches, Photos & Review
Ready to slip back to a time long ago (or maybe not depending on how old you are) when Crayola was your “favorite brand”? 
Crayola now has a line of scented nail polish out, believe it or not! I saw these at Rite Aid in the Crayola section when I was checking out the office supplies and of course knew they must be mine.
I’ve mentioned before how I think the scented nail polish thing is a gimmick, but Crayola and nail polish just go together so well, they couldn’t be passed up.
These are mini bottles at just 0.20 oz each, but all are bright shimmery colors.
The formula was what you might expect for a nail polish aimed at 10 year olds (I presume). They were a little thin and watery and took three coats to cover completely.
The scent is very accurate for all of these and before they even dry you can smell them. They are definitely stronger than most other scented polishes I have used!
Bubble Gum
Bubble Gum is a bright fun fuchsia pink with a purple/pink shimmer. It’s a good pink, though extremely sheer and watery.
Orange
Orange is a bright orange with heavy yellow shimmer. I am totally loving this color, it’s my favorite one here, surprisingly! This was more opaque than most of the others, but I still used three coats.
Green Apple
Green Apple is a bright green with yellow/green shimmer. Again very fun color and really quite nice! I think this is my second favorite here.
Blueberry
Blueberry is a bright navy blue with blue shimmer. Fun!
Grape
Grape is a medium royal purple with pink and blue shimmer. This too was one of the more watery and thin ones, but looks nice after three coats.
Overall:
I think these are kind of fun, if not a little childish for me.
Availability: Rite Aid
Pricing: $4.99
What do you think about Crayola nail polish?

Ha! I saw you bought these on twitter last week and asked for them in my Easter Basket! I got them! I love how they smell and they are super fun!
Pretty colors. I might pick some up for a little cousin.
How surprising! I’m glad they went with a shimmer finish instead of a creme because they usually have a more forgiving application. They are a bit childish but I would totally buy them for myself if I had a Rite Aid near me!

I’m loving Bubblegum, Orange and Grape. I hope they come to the UK!
You’re on an orange kick lately, eh?
Your last three reviews with orange colors were your favs, which is so cool! For some reason orange colors are appealing more to me as of late, and your swatches definitely help with that!
Hi Sarah,
I know isn’t it weird? I just love the orange with yellow shimmer lately. Been into orange lipstick more than ever also!
Hmmm, haven’t tried it, I think it wouldn’t look right on my skin. But I’m sure you could pull it off!
love it! i wonder if canada will get it or has it already
These are cute!

I would love to find these. They’re adorable and the colors are really pretty.
I think I might love these! And even though they were watery, they at least built up nicely in three coats, which is more than you can say for some of the more “grown up” brands you’ve reviewed recently!

I’ve very surprised by how great the colors are! I never expect much in sets like that but I’m loving all the shimmer!

How funny! Now all we need is the company that made scratch & sniff stickers to make polish! The orange is relly pretty, might have to buy these just for the orange!

Oh my gosh! I used to loooove scratch and sniff stickers when I was in grade school!
My teacher would put them on assignments that we did well on. Seems like we cared more about the stickers because the second the teacher would hand back our assignments, we’d all ask our friends, “Which sticker did you get?”
Normally the stickers had scents like bubblegum, fruit, or candy, but once I got a sticker with a boot that said something like “Stompin’ Good!”…We scratched it, sniffed it, and yeah, it smelled like a leather boot! Hahaha! (The way we’d sniff our assignments, you’d think that there was some addictive quality to those stickers.)
Ahh…brings back memories!

I’m thinking my 8 year old might be getting these for an end of the school year present. Yeah, I’m raising a mini polishaholic and makeup junkie LOL
this is a “must have”! what an excellent idea. you know im gonna walk around with all the different colors on so i can have every scent at my fingertips- hahaha!
Hahaha, as soon as I saw the title of this post I imagined nail polishes that have that gross, waxy crayon smell. I’m glad they smell like fruit instead.

I actually didn’t have very high hopes for these when I saw you post them on Twitter, but I’m surprised that these are all actually really nice colors, lol. I don’t know if I’ll pick them up myself, as I’m sure I have a similar color to all of these and I agree about the scented polish being mostly a gimmick, but still a pleasant surprise and lots of fun!
wow! the color payoff look MUCH better than i has expected!
Naww!! These are sooo cute! I kinda want them! haha

OMG! I wish I could find these near me – or even online! They’re so cute.
omg how cute are these?

Do they dry? When I first saw them I thought they might be water based since they’re aimed at kids. If they are “real” nailpolish I may have to look into getting a package =)
How fun!! I haven’t seen these yet but I’ll have to keep an eye out for em!

How cute!
They look way nicer than I would expect. Thank you for the swatches!!
I bought them too as soon as I saw them. I justified the purchase by telling myself they are ‘for the birthday party’ (I’m doing all the girls’ nails at a birthday party later in the summer for my co-workers 11 year old) but I busted those puppies out and swatched them IMMEDIATELY.
I’m just an 11 year old with 30 years of practice. And 110 bottles of nail polish.

OMG – WANT!
Looking at the bottles, you’d never guess that they had all of that GLOW! Those look like they’re lit from within- I’m hunting for these, asap. Thanx for the awesome swatches!
Huh! Funny that you found them near office supplies! The colors are much nicer than I expected. Cute novelty!
Omg! I’m a huge crayola fan becuase they make the best crayons and colouring pencils in the world but who would have thought that they made nailpolish too O.O
I like roseart brand crayons better than crayola. if you can get them where you are, I recommend them. The colors are MUCH more vivid than crayola brand.
These are really pretty shades. I especially love the orange which is rare for me. Love the smell of crayons.
I just bought these today and they smell AH-MAZING!! I already have a fun mani and I’m not ready to take it off .. so my son wanted me to put the orange polish on him.
He’s sitting over here sniffing his fingers. LOL
