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.

Sinful's Courtney Orange

     Well I know that Halloween is a ways off and that most people would have left this color for review at that time. I however do not celebrate Halloween and I felt like seeing what my first orange nail polish looked like on my hands.  This color Courtney Orange is from Sinful Colors 2009 collection.  
     Since this blog is for people like myself just getting into polishing I decided this time to show you what my hands look like from start to finish. I knew after a polish test that I would need to double up on the base coat. I always do a polish because I like to be able to sometimes where nothing but clear polish and need them to be white. A good base coat keeps the nails looking like the picture below. I also overlapped the base coat just to make sure that I could get any mistakes cleaned up easy.
     I only had to use two coats of the polish due to the richness of the color. I have to say this also went on without any streaks or splotches. I really liked this color and I am not a orange person. I think the color while vibrant is not loud. My accent nail was done with my dotting tools I purchased from amazon.com. I would like to say thank you to Teddi from the blog Teddi's Tips. I placed two drops of Caribbean Cocktail by Sephora by OPI on a piece of paper. I then took my large dotting tool and just dipped it in one time and then placed it on the nail. This was the first time that I used the tool and I found that I am going to need to find a way to make the polish thicker for the larger dot tool. The larger dots are the only dots that ran. They had more of a oval shape then circular one.
     Well until the next sinful moment have a great time.

I'm a Nail Junkie on the island of Fiji.

After my first attempt at a water marble I really began to like Sinful Colors nail polish. After picking up some hard to find colors I decided to do a month long tribute to Sinful Colors.  This first manicure is of two colors.

Fiji is a beautiful purple. It starts off looking like a thin layer of grape jelly. As you apply more coats it gets to be so much deeper with almost a mirror shine. I have on four coats. I would have gone to six because I just could not believe how great this color was looking. It went on smooth. This is one color that I was not putting on more coats to cover up streaks.

Nail Junkie is light blue base with multi colored and size glitter. I only put one coat on because I wanted the Fiji to still be seen but just jazz it up a bit. While I only did this as a accent nail I will one day make this my complete manicure. I feel that it is interesting to wear as a night out on the town but still professional enough to wear to the office.

Clean up of the excess polish was easy since it was only the first coat that was outside of nail bed. I can not wait until my next polish! Check back and see what color I do next.
