New Sinful Colors Green Nail Polish

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I came across some new Sinful Colors nail polishes this week, and I picked up some green ones, so swatches of those are what I have for you today.  One, I'm not sure is new (I may have just passed on it before) - when it comes to drug store polishes, I know as much as you do regarding release dates and other info.

There's no general statement to be made regarding application - one was thick and a little gloppy, one very thin, two good.  The brush and bottle haven't changed, other than that one of my four has an "S" on top of the cap.  The pictures are all in natural light.

Innocent was the thick one, but it wasn't too hard to control and only took two coats.  It's a yellow green creme.

Mint Apple is probably my favorite of the four (even though a mint flavored apple would be an abomination), which is a shimmery dusty green that's really not all that minty.  It applied well and took three coats.

Happy Ending is the one with the worst name, a yellow green with a strong shimmer that applied well in three coats.  It's my second favorite.

HD Nails is the one I'm not sure is new.  It was very thin and I could still see through my nails a bit after three coats, but wasn't really up for applying a fourth.  It's a darker green shimmer and the one I like the least.

Those are my new Sinful Colors green nail polishes, and what I have for you this morning.  Until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!

Sinful Colors Green Ocean

Good morning, Dear Reader!

Today I have a Sinful Colors St. Patrick's Day shade for you: Green Ocean. It was in a display with Irish Green, just those two colors.

It's green flaky and regular glitter in a clear base with a slight bit of green to it. I used two coats over black, and got this.

Now, I don't have a ton of Sinfuls because they're very hit or miss with whether they'll dry properly for me with any top coat. This one dried fine with Diamont, but dry, it's the exact opposite of smooth. It's looks nice, but feels awful. I think a bazillion refresher coats of top coat would fix that.

That's what I have for you today, Dear Reader. Until next time, love and nail polish to you!

Sinful Colors Nail Polish

Good morning, Dear Reader!

To end Drug Store Week, I thought I'd show you the cheapest of the cheapo nail polishes, Sinful Colors. They're usually a whopping $1.99 at Walgreen's, but this week they're buy one get one free, so $1. A few new colors just came out, and I picked some up on my way home from an outing last night.

These are also hit or miss for me, largely due to drying time. Some are fine, some simply never ever dry all the way. But for $1 and a good color, I'll roll the dice.

The first two glitters, I just swatched over black to show you the glitter. They're one coat each over the black.

Queen of Beauty is a silver glitter in a clear base.

All About You is a bunch of super fine gold glitter in a clear base.

Then the more interesting ones... See You Soon is a deep teal blue, opaque in two coats.

To it, I added one coat of Nail Junkie (great name!).

I Love You is a glittery purple jelly, and this is two coats.

And here's a finished manicure, where I added two coats of I Miss You, a purple based glitter, to I Love You.

There were a couple more new ones, but to be honest, my patience for swatching reaches its limit at about six, so that's all I have.

That's all for now, Dear Reader. Supposing the I Love You/I Miss You manicure actually dries, that'll be all for today. If it gets messed up in a few hours because it didn't cure despite Diamont and Freeze Dry, then I might have something else for you...

Until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
