This Lotta Luv candy-scented nail polish is almost too good to be true. In fact, it might be dangerous as it could tempt many to want to lick their fingers.

The different scents include Jolly Rancher, Bubble Yum and Nerds. These candies transcend into the nail polish market very well, because they are quite vibrant and visually appealing. They would certainly be perfect to wear during [spring or summertime](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sally-hansen-x-hersheys).

While these candy-scented nail polishes are definitely geared more toward the female market, these [iconic candy flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-tooth-1) are bound to attract even those who aren't fans of manicures and cosmetics. These sweet scents are a great way to give these otherwise ordinary products an added fun feature.
