Sinful Shine by Sinful Colors Swatches

Hey guys!

I'm back with a new line from Sinful Colors, called Sinful Shine. They are apparently a "hybrid" of regular polish with Gel-Tech. If you've heard of gel polishes, you probably already know the whole shabang with the application technique and the perks you get from using them. I personally change nail polishes every 2-3 days since I get bored easily, so although Gel polishes look so interesting (they're SO SHINY!) and supposedly last a long time, I was hesitant to spend $$ for it. Plus, you need to put your manicure under UV light after application...so to be honest with you,

But then I came across these, and they sound perfect to me. They're affordable and you get the same effect from the Gel polishes. I've picked up 6 of them:

(L-R) Blue Suede Shoes - Alfresco - Bananappeal - Most Sinful - At Sea - Break Away

I haven't gotten around to swatch Blue Suede Shoes & Break Away,

but here are the rest.

Alfresco

Bananappeal

Most Sinful

At Sea

They are all soooo shiny and good enough with one coat, except for Bananappeal which requires 2 since the formula is a bit thinner (still good, tho). My favorites are Most Sinful and At Sea, but honestly, I am really liking the ones I've tried. Excited to try the other 2 darker colors :D

I'm not quite sure how much they sell for because my Walgreens SA charged me with regular Sinful Color polishes ($2.29) since they were pretty new and didn't have any price tag yet. Check out your local drugstore and grab them because I'm telling you, they are SO worth it.

NOTD: Easter Bunny

Trying to be all cutesy with my mani today. I decided to use this adorable indie polish called "Rainbow Jello - Easter Edition" from The Polish Bar and partner it with some bunny and dots.

Used:
The Polish Bar - Rainbow Jello Easter
Sinful Colors - Sweet Tooth
Sinful Colors - Sugar Rush
Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
Sally Hansen - Breezy Blue
Wet 'n' Wild - Black Creme
Seche Vite

I really love Rainbow Jello...it's so festive yet still very delicate.

The application is also great, used 3 coats on its own :)

Happy Easter, dear readers!

NOTD Valentine's Special: Nebula

Sup followers, I recently saw space mani pictures floating around and found myself intrigued by them. I did my research and saw a beautiful picture as an inspiration.

For this look I used makeup sponge to dab the polishes over the base colors I already painted my nails with. I have to say I'm not completely satisfied with the look, I think a lighter hand could produce prettier  stars :)

List of polishes I used:
- China Glaze Little Drummer Boy (as base)
- NYC Cognac Sparkle (as base)
- Sally Hansen Pacific Blue
- Sally Hansen Bubblegum Pink
- Essence Lime Up!
- Essence Sundancer
- Sinful Colors Hottie
- Sinful Colors Sugar Sugar
- Art Deco White
- Art Deco Magenta

How I started:

Little Drummer Boy on index & ring fingers, Cognac Sparkle on middle & pinkie

The end result:

Happy Valentine's Day to you all !!!!

NOTD: Sinful Colors Call You Later

For some odd reason I never tried this brand although I have walked pass  their stand in Walgreens for so many times. Well, not until last week where I went there to buy some pad (lol) and their pretty bottles were calling my name.

I picked up 5 bottles and 3 of them are glitters. This is such a huge step for me because I hated glitters and always found them being so much pain in the butt to take off. But these colors are so gorgeous and I figured Christmas is coming so why not trying something more festive and glam?

This particular post is for the color called "Call You Later", basically a mix of kelly green, and forest green glitters with some golden specks filling in. The glitters themselves are packed and can be worn on its own. In the picture I had 3 coats and as you can see it's very well pigmented.

Sinful Colors are $1.99 each & you can find them at your local Walgreens or Rite-Aid.

 Thanks for reading!
