Sinful Colors Mint Apple + L.A. Colors Treasure Island

Friday is here ... February is almost gone! Where does time go? Anyways, life goes on and on and it's up to us to catch up with it. lately I've been finding pictures I took a while ago and never posted. There was this hidden folder with some stuff. The pictures I have to share with you though aren't that great. maybe that's why I haven't posted before. My cuticles are dead dry and I apologize for that. However this is one of my favorites Sinful Colors polish. I have showed this one on a post before but I am revisiting. I might need to use it again and show a better and decent swatch of it. This is Sinful Colors Mint Apple. A lovely green mint with some shimmer to it. Well, I'm not good at describing colors but all I have to say is you have to have this in your collection.

Then I got sme sponge and dabbed on the tips with L.A. Colors Treasure Island. I think they go super well together. Plus I always love to do some sponging. That always look great and it's an easy way for a good mani look for sure. I should sponge more often.

Have you tried sponging before? What are your favorite color/texture combo?

Sinful Colors Savage

Back on posting ...

 I actually did this manis everal weeks ago. I was organizing my files and realized I hadn't posted this one.

For this mani I revisited my Sinful Colors Savage. At my first try I didn't like it at all cause it dries matte. I have a hard time applying matte polishes but this time I guess I got the hang of it. I absolutely love the color.

Then I applied top coat cause I really like the glossy finish rather than matte. I think it's pretty interesting the difference between the two finishes. It kinda looks like they are different colors. Don't you think?

Once I was playing around I went flipping over my nail plates pages and got BM 224 to stamp over Sinful Colors. I thought that turquoise teal could go well with some brown and golod together.

What do you think? I remember I had that mani for a week cause I liked it so much.

My Sinful Colors Xmas Collection

I love to see what some companies come up with as their whatever something Xmas Collection. I was staring at these colors and thought of creating my own Sinful Colors Xmas nail polish collection. lolololo

Stay tuned for my own xmas collection direct from my nail polish stash :)

 LAST CHANCE - it's a deep cream pine tree green. And OMG super glossy. On the pictures above yeah, NO TOP COAT added. If you follow my blog your know I always say Sinful Colors polishes are a hit or miss. That one is a total hit. It's a must have it. I used 2 coats  for that mani.

 ALL ABOUT YOU -  a really cool gold glitter with some orange/redish understones to it. It looks so festive to me and also very very similar to what we have seen being released lately for the Holidays by NOPI and China Glaze. There you have an affordable dupe for those I'm talking about.

 SAN FRANCISCO - is a green elf shimmer color. I used 2 coats and I'm pretty positive I could have used another coat for full coverage. It's pretty and xmas like. Oh I love Xmas :)

RUBY RUBY - is a Santa Claus hat jelly red. Yeah you heard right. I mean you read it right. This red has a jelly finish. Just 2 coats and there you have a super pretty mani.

PS PS PS PS PS : Just reminding you guys that this collection was pulled off by me and is not something Sinful Colors released as a Xmas Collection ok? I just did that for fun. Sometimes we feel tempted to buy a whole collection of polishes just cause the So So Company released that "cool" collection and we do enjoy to see all of those colors together being called as THE collection. However, sometimes we do not realize we already have something really cool and/or similar to what just came out. And I believe we can pull out some colors and make our very own collection whith what we already got. Don't you think? Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Now go to your nail polish stash and try pulling out your Xmas collection.

Sinful Colors Daddy's Girl

Looking for a jelly finish polish? There you have it. Sinful Colors Dady's Girl is a sheer violet purple with blue undertones (it's looks more blue on the picture than it really is). That polish is packed with fine puple glitter and very subtle fine gold shimmer. That another good polish from SC among the bad ones. If you like purple you will like this one.

Enjoy your Sunday!!

REMINDER: Today is the last day for you to submit your Xmas /Holiday manicure picture to the contest. You have until midnight to send it in to contact.lacqueredme@gmail.com For more details CLICK HERE

Sinful Colors I Love You

Sinful Colors I Love You is a fine purple glitter in a purple jelly base. Much prettier in real life. It's a bit too sheer so I had to put on 3 coats. It kinda reminds me of Halloween. I know it's over and I must wear something more Xmas type of thing. But I wanted to try this one. It sure does different on your nail than how it looks in the bottle. You know, those type of polishes lololo But I bet that if you are a purple girl you are gonna love this one for sure :)

Essie Blanc + Sinful Colors Tokyo Pearl (dislike)

Where did the year go? DECEMBER!!!!! Is that right? Can't believe it. But you know what I am excited cause my favorite holiday season is here. All the sweet songs, the pine tree smell, the yummy food, the lights, luminarias, the decoration and the most important the remind to all of us that we need to show our love to one another and really feel what's the real meaning of Xmas. I love love love Christmas. what's your favorite holiday?

Ok, now let's go to the lacquer matter.

Trying another white polish. Today I tried Essie Blanc. Not my favorite of favorites. Just ok. It's not that creamy, somewhat watery and it got opaque on my 3rd coat. Then, I was like, " Yeah, I think I like it" but like I said here before I like the one coat/two coats polishes. If I need a 3rd coat then I decide it's not the polish for me. Just the way I am. Cause that would be paiting 30 fingers once you have to do 3 coats on each one of your fingernails right? What a hassle!

Then I tried over Essie applying Sinful Colors Tokyo Pearl , a frosty shimmer white pearl ... and oh boy, superrrr draggy. I hate it!!! Do not like frosty finishes at all specially if they drag in some level that not even a great top coat (Seche Vite) can fix it. It's like I have mentioned here before: Sinful Colors nail polish are a hit and miss. Some of them are really great but most of them (in my opnion) are trash.

What are your opnions on Sinful Colors? Do you have SC Pearl Harbor? Do you dislike too or is just me?

Sinful Colors What's Your Name

Another old one I had to post.

Yay I'm trying to use my untrieds Sinful Colors and for today I have this baby. Very cool polish.

This is Sinful Colors What's Your Name, fine blue glitter in a jelly black base. Based from the first picture you must be like "Where is the fine blue shimmer she is talking about?" I know. Scroll down and you will see.

I couldn't get the fine blue shimmer to show on th efirst picture so I had to overexpose my picture so you guys can see what I'm talking about. Pretty ugly pic but at least you do see the blue shimmer. It's 100 times better in real life than these pictures I promise you :)

I used 2 coats for that manicure and I totally love this polish. It's another hit on my Sinful Colors scale of hit and miss. Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Thanks for stopping by :)

Sinful Colors Secret Admirer - Happy 11/11/11 !!

I bet there are lots and lots of people getting married today cause of the fun with the numbers 11/11/11 :)

My husband and I have done that on 7/7/07 and it was soooo fun. Except we couldn't find a wedding photographer cause everyone decided to get married on that date apparently. But today we have a story to tell right? Now, I wanna see what today holds. Any special events that you guys know of?

As far as polish, I have something that looks very festive and classy.I had this one on my untrieds stash it's been a while. I then saw that I have at least 3 different brands of polish that have similar polish like this one. I have to do a comparison post. This Sinful Color thought is the cheapest one among them all.

This is Sinful Colors Secret Admirer, a gunmetal color full of fine silver glitter. Very pretty! I remember I had bought this bottle cause I got one for a swap and thought of getting a bottle for myself to keep. That always happens. Does that happen to you too? Go out to buy for somebody and you end up buying something for you too lololo Like I've said before Sinful Colors is a hit or miss. This one is a hit. Really good polish, application was good and coverage with my usual 2 coats.

But now to the pictures :)

Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby

I find myself loving red polish on my fingernails now. I used to think that that color was just for a pedicure. But I guess we chane our minds and I find myself picking lots of red tones. I don't match my mani most of the time but I have to say I always try to. Having red on your nails it's a great color and classic that goes with anything. This is Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby, a cream almost jelly sirine red. Sinful Colors is not one of my favorite brands of polish. I know other people loooove it. With me it works this way: when a SC polish is bad then it's really bad. Formula, color, application, finish, everything. But when a SC is good it's a really good one. This one is GREAT!! Really really good. That is my usual 2 coats. I had a good color coverage on nails, the application was just great and I love the color of it!

Do you have this color? What's your opnion on Sinful Color polishes?

And again, what's your favorite picture as far as the angle? Do you like the first or second picture?
You guys have a warm Sunday. I know it's been cold and some of you already have snow. Not my case (just snow on the mountains) but it's cold here.

Sinful Colors - a pretty color ♥

Today I have a lovely color from Sinful Colors - Beverly Hills. It's a cream pale lilac-purple, very shinny and very pigmented. I was very pleased to use this color. Usually I am not a fan of all the polish from Sinful Colors. Some of them are too liquidy and the formula is streaky or you need to use 3 to 4 coats to achieve the color on the bottle. On this one, I was quite impressed as I only applied 2 coats. It worked great! Teh formula of this polish is like butter. Really good!! I got this polish for $0.99 at a sale at Walgreens awhile back. Keep your eyes open as they always have a sale here and there. I am thinking about paying full price though to get me a back up bottle.

Also, remember I have a giveaway going on. CLICK --> HERE to see details.
Hope you guys have a great weekend my friends ♥

Green Apple from Sinful Colors Swatch

TGIF right!!! Yeaeyayey I love Fridays.

So here is a swatch of a shimmer green from Sinful Colors. I have tried this before but didn't get too excited like now. So I got to have a picture for you guys. I liked so much I didn't even want to do any stamping or anything. This green is like those mint greens you can see all over lately but not too bright. I would say it's more subtle than the others. It has this shimmer tone to it that I love and surprisingly the formula, brush and everything is really good. Usually I don't "love" all the Sinful Colors nail polishes. This one I totally recommend.
