Sunday Fun Day - Sinful Colors Valentine's Day Flirt with Hearts

Hey There!

I have been running around in circles trying to find the Sinful Colors Valentine's Day Flirt with Hearts polishes. have searched several Walgreens trying to find it. I know that there is a whole Valentine's Day display with several colors but I really want the Love Sprinkles one, which is (from what I've heard) the only new one in the bunch.

Before I began my journey, I took out all of the pinky, valentiney colors that I had in my Sinful colors collection.

Nine. Yes. I have nine pinky, valentiney colors in my Sinful Colors collection. In my defense, I love painting the tootsies pink. Shades of pink just make my toes happy and at .99 cents - $1.99 each, you can't pass them up! I know I certainly didn't.

Glass Pink is a very delicate pink. It's soft and feminine and pretty.

Your's Truely is pretty pastel pink. It's nice but I don't reach for it that much.

Pinky Glitter reminds me of a jelly polish. I'm not versed in polish enough to know if it really is a jelly, but it reminds me of one. It looks slightly orange in the bottle but I assure you it's not. I call it a Cinderella pink because when built up (2-3 coats) it's sparkly.

24/7 is my pepto-bismol pink. It's your classic Barbie doll pink. It's great against tan toes.

Pink Forever is like a not so pepto pink. It's still bright, but not as bright as 24/7. It still looks good against tan toes though.

Boom Boom is a bright fuchsia pink polish. It's a winter pink.

Forget Now is a gorgeous, shimmery fuchsia. It is a perfect color for toes or fingers. 2 regular coats are a nice and sheer. That 3rd coat is the ka-pow! that you need for your nails.

Tokyo Doll is a pearlescent fuchsia pink. This is a perfect pink for toes or fingers as well.

Ruby Mine is one the best sparkly pinks. It's a textured pink (and I don't normally like them) but with a top coat, it's makes it better. It reminds me of candy and I like to use it as an accent nail.

So before I began my quest, I took stock of what I had so I wouldn't duplicate any efforts. I also did a mental check to make sure I wanted to keep all of the pinky colors that I had. I do.

Oh! I did find that Love Sprinkles polish...waaaay back on a bottom shelf at a Walgreens 20 miles from my house.

Go figure.

Nail Polish Change - Deborah Lippmann in Mermaid's Dream, SinfulColors in Soul Mate and Pinky Glitter

Hey There!

Can we start with the toe nail polish (that y'all are seeing swatched and not on my toes)? It's a Deborah Lippmann (Mermaid's Dream) mini color that was in my Sephora Favorites Summer Stash bag from early in the summer. The color isn't my favorite but the formula is amazeballs! The first swipe across my big toe nail made me gasp (no funny comments from the peanut gallery!). It went on smoothly, almost perfectly. The glitter that you see is fine and smooth and so many wonderful colors wrapped up in this blue/green nail polish base. You can just barely see each blue, green and silver sparkly specs as you move the nail around and then there are larger green and blue glitter chunks that you are supposed to see. This tiny bottle was supposed to make me want to try full sizes. It worked!  I really, really want to pick one up (when I save up some Sephora money -- these boogers are $18 - $20 each).

 

Please excuse the kray-krayness of my nailwork this week.
I was trying a new polishing technique that obviously failed.
I will be back to the normally scheduled bad polishing next week
because apparently it wasn't as bad as I thought.

My finger nails were just as beautiful this week. They were graced with SinfulColors Polish. I wore Soul Mate and Pinky Glitter. Yes, that is a party nail that you see. Welcome back PN! Soul Mate comes off as a coral with a splash of orange. Pink Glitter is the same color, with just the best silver and iridescent round sparkles. The formula is very nice. I love the fact that when you use Pink Glitter, you don't have to maneuver the brush to get enough glitter on your nails. You can swipe normally and get a good bit of sparkle. I have many glitter polishes that I had to actually place the flecks of glitter where I wanted them. Not this one sister. Both colors go on well and lasted for several days. I went three days before my much used pointer nails got chipped. I loved these colors, I really did. One of my co-workers really did shout, "The party nail is back!" I didn't even know she noticed my party nail!

So in case you didn't notice, yes, I'd wear my SinfulColors polishes over and over again. And yes, I see the Deborah Lippmann polish as a party nail until I get a new Deborah Lippmann polishes that I can wear on all my nails. I have my eye on quite a few colors.
