The other day, a friend of mine stopped by with a bottle of Anna Sui Nail Color ($13). Instead of her getting excited over the shine, the shade, or about its long-lasting quality, she was kvelling about the smell. I reluctantly took a whiff, sure that the fumes would knock out the next generation of growing brain cells, 
but I was pleasantly surprised that the scent was masked by a floral scent.
Apparently, most of Anna's products are enhanced with tea rose and peony extract. She has a fondness for roses — remember those wicked lip gloss rings I talked to you about last year?
Tea rose has been proven to help alleviate stress, calm nerves and revitalize and uplift the senses. It also helps reduce the symptoms of hay fever and allergies (sounds like it contains a natural antihistamine). Peony extract comes from the foot of the flower and it helps moisturize and keep your nail beds healthy.
My friend gave herself an at-home manicure and she's reported that it's already day four and so far there's been no chipping or peeling — it must be the flower power! Are you interested in checking out any of the 39 colors in Anna Sui's nail color range?

I really love that sparkly nude color that's in the photo...gorgeous! And any scent would be better than those nasty polish fumes.
1I love nail polish but I hate the smell. I'd definitely be interested in checking these out. I really like the color in the picture too.
2I'm always skeptical about scented nail polish and remover. I'd be willing to try it out then decide if I wanted to buy it.
3wow! This sounds awesome!
4I really like the color pictured above but on annasuibeauty.com it's really hard to tell what the colors might come out like. I prob wouldn't order nail color though them unless I could see the color in the bottle/on my nails first.
5interesting, YSL (Yves Saint Laurent) has a scented mascara but who actually smells peoples eyes it's kind of weird
6Sign me up - nail polish really stinks especially on these hot days we're having.
7Heck yeah i'd love to try this, I hate the stink of nail polishes. Where can you get 'em?
8That sounds so great! I never thought they could actually cover up nail polish smell (you know how they try to do it with polish remover and it makes like, zero difference??)
I'm so going to try this because I think I nearly killed myself, my boyfriend and my houseplants with fumes the last time I did my own nails!!
9PS, They have them at Sephora, don't they? I know they have other Anna Sui products...
10Ditto on the color that is pictured and def worth checking out.
11This sounds cool! I'd like to try it
12Bella where can you purchase Anna Sui products other than the website?? I want to say she used to be carried in Nordstrom's but that was ages ago...does anyone know because on her website she had the PERFECT looking deeper purple nail polish that I've been dreaming up in my head that I want haha, but I really would not like to pay for it online and shipping fees, etc. Thanks!
13I've been using her polishes for years and they are very high quality. They last in the bottle for years and they make your nails smell like flowers for a couple days. I'm not sure if they are carried at Sephora anymore, they aren't on their website.
14Chocolate-flavored, pretty please! This is a neat idea.
