Summer Nail Polish Colors from Acquarella

I just added three new summer nail polish colors from Acquarella to my polish collection! Acquarella was so kind to send me all three of the new colors! Yippy! I am so glad to have more Acquarella water based nail polishes.

I love the green, blue and purple color palette! I much prefer these types of colors over the ordinary reds and pinks. I have been excitedly awaiting 30 Love (lemon lime green) ever since I saw a photo of it. 30 Love just screams summer time!

It was harder to tell what Date Night and Dream Car would look like. As soon as I took those two out of the boxes I could see that they were shiny metallic colors. When I first saw Dream Car I thought "Ooh, lah lah, I would like to have a car this color!" I wear clothes that are mostly blue, teal, or aqua, so this greenish blue nail polish will match my wardrobe! The purple Date Night polish looks grape flavored to me. I like the silver shimmers in the purple base color. 

I swatched all three new colors right away, so I could see what they look like on my nails.

I think all three colors are awesome, but I definitely recommend wearing 30 Love during the summer. The metallic purple and blue will still be good choices into the fall.

Acquarella Nail Polish Review and Demonstration {Video}

Acquarella is one of my favorite brands of water-based nail polish! It has hardly any smell and lasts nicely on my fingernails for a week. It stays on my toenails for a full month!

Watch this video to learn more about Acquarella water-based nail polish and see a demonstration of applying the nail polish in Mahalo (blue) and Wicked (green).

Non Toxic Nail Polishes: Acquarella and Scotch Naturals

Looking for a non toxic nail polish that is not just for kids? It is scary to think of all the harmful chemicals present in traditional nail polish. A safe option is getting a long-lasting water based nail polish.

If you are ready to try water based nail polish but not sure which brand to choose, here is a helpful comparison of Acquarella and Scotch Naturals.

Things I like about Acquarella:

• I has good lasting power for a water based nail polish. It looks good on fingernails for about 5 days and easily lasts a month or more on toenails. 
• It only takes two thin coats of polish, so you do not need a base coat or top coat.
• I do not smell a thing while painting my nails! What a contrast to solvent based nail polish!

Things I like about Scotch Naturals:

• It is easy to remove with their soy based remover. Only takes about 15 minutes. Much shorter than the 30-50 minutes of scrubbing to remove Acquarella with Acquarella remover.
• The colors are sophisticated and appeal to a more mature crowd than just tweens. 
• The base coat helps the polish paint on smoothly and the top coat adds shine. 

Have you tried Acquarella or Scotch Naturals? What do you think of these two non toxic nail polishes? Can you recommend any other water based nail polishes?
