Kiwi Lime
Did you miss me? More importantly…did you miss my NAILS?
I’ll admit, it was nice to have a break from beauty hoard-ing…but I’m excited to get back in the saddle and talk about nail polish. This particular polish was one I used a few weeks ago, before my pilgrimage to upstate New York.
Sinful Colors “Lime Light” is from Winnie Harlow’s new Fruity Blends Collection. It’s supposed to look like a smoothie – but who would put limes in a smoothie? Wouldn’t that curdle any dairy products in the smoothie??? And why not name the polish after a kiwi? This is exactly what the inside of a kiwi looks like – there are no black seeds in limes. In fact, limes don’t have seeds at all…
ANYWAY, this is two coats of “Lime Light” over Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat. No top coat, so I could experience the smoothie texture. I kind of wished I had tried at least one glossy nail, though – I’ll definitely try that next time.
On an unrelated note, I am playing around with the theme and fonts for the site – I’d welcome any feedback from out in the interwebs!
Fruity Blend Haul
Another Target exclusive collection from Sinful Colors? Yes, please.
Winnie Harlow is Sinful Colors‘ newest brand ambassador and the new collection – Winnie’s Fruity Blend – has a smoothie like texture…neat! I grabbed all of them – $2.98 each : “Berry Crush”, “Blueberry Smash”, “Lime Light”, and “Snatched Strawberry”. There was also a new 3-in-1 Nail Treatment called “Glowin” that I’m excited to try.
I also bought Love Beauty and Planet “Indian Lilac & Clove Leaf” Shampoo and Conditioner for an upcoming road trip, as well as some back-up Contact Solution and Exfoliating Cotton Rounds. Exciting!
I got the address issue with my Target account cleared up and the polish came straight to me…although my shipment was in two boxes, which kind of defeats the purpose of them forcing me to order $35 of stuff for free shipping?
Cherry Chaser
I don’t know what they mean by “Cherry Chaser” – is it a drink? Or a pedophile? Or just someone who likes picking fruit?
Sinful Colors Quick Bliss “Cherry Chaser” is an orange leaning red – think cherry tomatoes, not bing cherries. Even so, I quite like it – I also used it on my toes.
This is two coats of “Cherry Chaser” over Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat and under Glisten & Glow Top Coat.
Cari-BAE-n
Yes, yes – “Cari-BAE-n” is an exceedingly stupid name for a nails polish. But LOOK at this color!
I am loving Sinful Colors “Cari-BAE-n”, from the new Power Paints line. It’s another Tiffany Blue…I’m not a fanatic about luxury brands, but there’s something about this shade of blue…
This is two coats of “Cari-BAE-n” over Glisten & Glow Ridge Filling Base Coat and under Glisten & Glow Top Coat.
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.
