$.99 Buy for Some of the Best Colors

Walgreens is my favorite place today. They have Sinful Colors polish on sale for $.99. This basically adds up to but one get one free since they are normally $1.99. This sale is until 10/27/2012.
I have done a month of blogs about Sinful Colors polish. The color below is Cinderella. This color is a pale blue with small pink shimmers visable in light only. I only did a basic mani in this color because I found it hard to find something to do with the color that would not destract from the colors simplicity. Okay little sappy if I do say so myself. LOL.
Well I hope you take advantage of the sale because I know I did. Until next time keep on polishing.

My First Dot Gradient

     So this idea was born out off my over use of my new dotting tools and my epic failure(my person feelings even though others said it wasn't bad) at a regular gradient. I was looking for something where I could give my fingers a break from all of the color because my nails were beginning to turn yellow. Yes, I do use a base coat to those that are thinking that is what my problem is. I just think I need a new base coat but I have not decided on what I am going to use. I am still doing research on that.

     I started off with my current base coat and then placed on one layer of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails. I then keeping with my theme of 30 days of Sinful Colors used my dotting tool and started with Sinful Colors Bali Mist (a purplish pink). Kismet (pink with brown undertones) is my next dot. The final color comes from the recently released Sinful Colors metallic line called Hot Wired. I finished it off with my Sally Hansen Top Coat and Viola! it is done.

   I am quite pleased with the my first attempt at so many dots and a gradient. I am sure it would have been neater had I not decided to do my nails during the second presidential debate. Jumping around and hollering at the television is not a good thing when painting your nails.

A Newbie's Must Have Color!!!!

    Okay I have only been this excited about a color one time before now. This Metallic Sinful Color Hot Hot Heat is my new go to color!!

     I knew after the first coat that I had a replacement for my previous favorite color. I want to paint my toes fingers and anyone else's fingers and toes with this color. The color is flawless in application. Whatever is in this formula I am begging Revlon (who recently purchased the brand) to make sure that this formula is kept and even duplicated to other colors.

     I dare you to find another color that can go on this easy and make your nails look this good with this little effort. I don't even have accent nail and you know that is not normal for me. There is only one picture with no top coat because that is all is needed.

Until next time keep on polishing.

Winter's Coming And Boy Is It Beautiful!!!

Today's Sinful Color is Winterberry. I chose this color as a tribute to National Domestic Violence since it is October.

I sort of get the feeling that a little pink and grey were mixed in with a grape purple. The color alone after only two coats was beautiful. This is the first polish of the Sinful line that I can say I do not have a compliant about. It went on smooth and even.

The sparkles are coming from NYC Starry Glitter. I originally was only going to do a accent nail but I mistakenly painted the wrong nail. I liked it so much that I decided to paint them all.

Well until next time keep it clean and simple.

Moss Have Sinful Colors Hot Metallic

Green has never been a color good on me until now. Sinful hit it out of the park with this color Moss Have.  The color is mute and vibrant all at the same time. Three coats were needed to get the color opaque to my liking. I am still not happy with the slight streaks that still existed after the three coats. I am wondering if it was because of metallic in the polish.
I decided this time to not spend all night with my accent nail so I took some silver glitter and just pressed it onto my favorite nail and then added a top coat. While simple the pictures did not do it justice. t made the finger just pop. My four year old nephew just could not believe his auntie did that all by myself. It made me smile from ear to ear.
I always have a top coat and even with that on the color chipped in two days time. This is my second draw back with the color. I however decided to refresh the manicure using the Moss Have as a accent using my dotting tools. I know this is a month of Sinful Colors but I had just purchased Zoya's Ivy.
This color is a burgundy red with multitude of gold shimmer. I really like this color and think it helps the Moss Have shine even brighter. I only have on two coats on of Ivy. I bet it would only get better if I get up to four coats. I guess later I will test that theory and get back to you.
