Icing on the Cake
I was feeling minimalistic, so I pulled out one of the sheer matte Confection Crush polishes.
Sinful Colors “Icing on the Cake” reminds me of watermelon juice! This is two coats over Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat. I don’t think I used a top coat – I just let it be. To be honest, this is two or three manicures ago!
School will be over (for me) next week…I don’t think I’ve been this hyped about summer vacation since…1998?
Buzz Off
Sinful Colors “Buzz Off” is a sister polish to “Save the Bees!”. Instead of honey gold with gold flecks, this is a black polish with gold flecks. It is spectacular!
This is two coats of “Buzz Off” over Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat and under Glisten & Glow Matte Top Coat…EXCEPT for the pinkies. I did a reverse of how I did “Save the Bees” and did glossy pinkies with Glisten & Glow Top Coat.
I wonder what these two beauties would look like together…hmmm…
Save the Bees!
No, for real – SAVE THE BEES!
Also, this nail polish is Sinful Colors “Save the Bees” from their new Honey Flake collection. I am not the biggest fan of yellow nail polish – they make me feel like Marge Simpson – but this one is different. It’s got FLAKIES. I love flakies.
I started with Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat, then painted two coats of “Save the Bees.” It has amazingly full coverage for a jelly-flaky polish. I finished with Glisten & Glow Top Coat on all of my nails, except the pinkies. My pinkies were topped with Glisten & Glow Matte Top Coat. I LOVE matte flakies even more than glossy flakies.
I snagged “Save the Bees” and her sister “Buzz Off” at HEB – I think they were $2.98 each…and they were worth every penny.
Pistachio Praline…again.
Yes, I know St. Patrick’s Day was last week. I am WAY behind on posting.
I started off St. Patrick’s Day Week with Sinful Colors “Pistachio Praline” – no base coat, no top coat, just two coats of “Pistachio Praline”. It looked lovely for a day or two, but then it started flaking off BAD. I think I only wore it three days last week? I did not even make it to St. Patrick’s Day.
I loved the gold shimmer in the green – why does it look so familiar?
I’ll tell you why…because I wore this polish less than two months ago. Ya’ll…between work and school and two teenagers and COVID-19 and WWIII…my head is barely screwed on straight. I feel like it’s the apocalypse, but I still have to do my day job. Fuck.
Extra AF
Why yes, I AM “extra AF,” why do you ask?
Sinful Colors “Extra AF” is a sheer shimmer neon from 2019’s Neon Collection. Have I really been sleeping on this polish almost three years? I specifically went looking for a sheer yellow polish, because not only are my tips a bit stained from several weeks worth of dark polishes, but I wanted to show off my freshly cut nails. Sheer polishes look like ass on unevenly trimmed nails!
This is two coats of “Extra AF” over Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat. The polish has a demi-matte finish, so I decided to go au naturel – NO top coat. The first few days went well, but by day 5, large chunks were flaking off my nails…I HATE when that happens.
Shine, Honey
I’ve been BAMBOOZLED!
Bamboozled…buffaloed…tricked. Sinful Colors Power Paint “Shine, Honey” is a DUPE of Sinful Colors Sinful Shine “Shine Annie”. Click the link and compare…exactly THE SAME.
Even so, I probably would’ve bought the polish anyway. I’m a hoarder, that’s what I do.
This is two coats of “Shine, Honey” over Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat and under Glisten & Glow Top Coat.
Power Paint
Guess what? There’s a new Sinful Colors Collection! Well…kind of new.
I expected to find the new Power Paint polishes in a cute display on an endcap, but I was shocked to find them on the aisle, right where the Sinful Shine polishes should be…where did the Sinful Shine polishes go? It seems like this is not exactly a “new” collection, but a rename of the Sinful Shine polishes…these colors look VERY familiar….hmmmm…
Eh, HEB had BOGO 50% off coupons, so I went ahead and bought just 4 of the 15 rebranded polishes. Left to right, I picked up “24K Drips”, “Cari-BAE-n”, “Diamonds on my Neck”, and “Shine, Honey”. I hope they are not exact duplicates of polishes I already have!
Iced Petit Four
I LOVE petit fours, but I’ve never had a periwinkle petit four.
This is Sinful Colors “Iced Petit Four”. This is two coats over Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat. No top coat…except for my pinky nails. I topped with Glisten & Glow Top Coat. I like it glossy, too!
I really like the matte, yet shimmery finish. I felt a little bit like Elsa…Which Confection Crush should I try next?
It’s So Grape
No need to adjust your screen, this polish is more gray than grape.
Sinful Colors “It’s So Grape” is another one of the Confection Crush “Sweet & Sugary” polishes. I mean…it DOES look like a grape gum drop…that rolled under my couch and moldered for a year. I don’t care, it’s still cute!
This is two coats over Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat.
Krushed Velvet
This vibrant matte moment is brought to you by Sinful Colors “Krushed Velvet” from the Kylie Trend Matters Collection. It was buried in a basket of untried polish in my bedroom…I came across it while quarantined.
This is two coats of “Krushed Velvet” over Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat.
This deep burgundy has a hint of gold shimmer that is very apparent when wet, but fades quite a bit after drying. Next time I use this polish, I might try a glossy top coat to bring out that shimmer, or possibly a gold glitter accent nail.
