Sinful Colors Easy Going

Summer is officially here and it's no secret I like bright, fun polish this time of year, but lately I've been craving a more neutral nail. I've been rocking the beige, sand and taupe a lot, but my favorite color has to be a milky, almost white baby pink. Yep, I said it PINK! I've been in love with all the usual suspects like Essie Fiji, OPI Mod about you, etc. but since Sinful Colors is now available here and I've heard Holly talk about this polish so much, I had to give it a go!

Sinful Colors Easy Going is a very light, milky baby pink with a hint of peach. In some lights it looks definitely pink, but in other lights it's more a peachy salmon color. Either way, it's incredibly pretty.

The formula is actually pretty ok for this kind of color. It's a little patchy and streaky as baby pinks tend to be, but nothing I couldn't handle. You do need about 3 coats to get this opaque, but it dries reasonably fast. What you are left with, is a gorgeous clean and fresh manicure.

I just can't get enough of this polish. I love how this looks, it actually makes me look a little tan and I never get tan, so I need all the help I can get! This sort of color is appropriate for all occasions and goes with everything. Such an easy polish.

Do you enjoy a nice nude or are you sticking with bright and vibrant?

Sinful Colors Midnight Blue

After yesterdays haul, it shouldn't come as a big surprise that I wanted to try one of my new beauties asap. I hesitated a long time between them all, but finally decided to go for one of the blues, as I haven't had blue polish on my nails in a while. (Although I just realized that is a total lie since I only took of Swagger about a week ago...)

Sinful Colors Midnight Blue is a gorgeous deep blue polish. It has such a nice shine to it, it almost reminds me of a metallic polish, but I like this better than a true metallic finish.

The formula was perfect! Almost opaque in just 1 coat, but in my opinion better with 2 thin coats, it dried really fast and it has a nice shine to it. The brush was nice and thin and fans out on the nail for easy application.

I love this color, It's such a rich blue color with a lot of depth. I think this will suit pretty much every skin tone and it's a very classy color. This has lived up to all my expectations and I'm extremely happy to be able to pick this brand up for only € 1.99. If you haven't tried this brand, go out and get one. You won't be disappointed!

Have you tried this brand yet and what do you think?

Sinful Colors Haul!

I've heard so many people talk about Sinful Colors polishes, they're supposed to be really affordable and have some nice colors in their range. But of course this brand wasn't sold in my little country. So you can imagine my surprise when my dear friend Fleur send me a text that she walked into Kruidvat and low and behold: they had a Sinful Colors display! I squealed and when she let me know which colors they had, this happened...

Yes, I know, I have a problem... but I don't really mind :D
I picked up some nice, basic colors and some sparkly polishes, just because I can!

Ruby Ruby, Gogo Girl, Folly

I know these 3 look pretty similar, but trust me, they are different! Folly is pink and the other 2 are red and well... you can never have to much red! No shimmer or sparkle in these, just really nice creams.

Blue by you, Midnight Blue, Hottie

Blue has to be my second favorite polish color, after red, so no surprise I picked up these beauties. Blue by you has a very strong shimmer, almost a micro glitter. Midnight is a deep metallic shade and Hottie is a glitter topper, it reminds me a lot of OPI Last Friday Night.

Rich in Heart, Fig, Nail Junkie, Call you later

As soon as I saw this first shade, I knew this was coming home to me! Deep, dark and vampy... how could I resist? Fig is a gorgeous cream shade and Nail Junkie and Call you later provide the always necessary sparkle.

I was so so happy Fleur walked in to the one store that sells Sinful Colors, I was finally able to pick just a few up. But was it just that one store? I'm very happy to tell you it wasn't! Of course I had a little look in my local store, just to check and they had the same little stand! Of course I couldn't just smile at it and walk out, I had to pick up just a few more.

Thimbleberry, Easy Going, Sugar Sugar

I have a little obsession with coral at the moment, so Thimbleberry had to be added to my stash. Same goes for Sugar Sugar, a gorgeous red glitter. Easy Going is all Holly's fault (misshollyberries). She has mentioned this polish so many times as being a dupe for Essie's Fiji, but with a much better formula, I had to try it myself!

And that's all! I can't wait to play around with this brand and see if they're as good as I've been hearing. If you happen to live in The Netherlands, try your local Kruidvat! Sinful Colors is now available at selected stores and they retail for only € 1.99!

Are you familiar with this brand and if so, what's your favorite color?

Sinful Colors Precious Metal

One of the big nail trends for fall that seems to come back every year is metallics. Although I love all nail polish, I'm not a fan of this particular finish because it just doesn't seem to suit my skintone. I love silver and gold polish, but they make me look like I'm undead...

For instance, I wish I could rock Orly Rage, I love that rosegold tone, but I didn't even buy it, because of previous experiences with metallics and my skin...

So when the lovely Holly (misshollyberies, blog and Youtube) send me a few polishes and she included a metallic one, I was hesitant. Although I immediately loved the color (I'm a sucker for blue), I was afraid the finish wouldn't work for me. Nothing was further from the truth! As soon as I put Sinful Colors Precious Metal on my nails, I loved it! Finally, a metallic polish I could actually pull off!

It's a midtoned blue polish with a silver metallic shimmer running through it. This polish is part of the 2012 Hot Flash Metallics collection.

Isn't that gorgeous?

I was so happy she send me Sinful Colors, as I don't have access to this particular brand and was dying to try it. The formula of this polish was good, but the polish itself was a  little on the sheer side. It flows on the nail, but I did need 3 coats to get it fully opaque. But since it dried reasonably fast and was so easy to apply, I didn't mind.

2 coats Precious Metal

If anyone knows a good site where I can buy SC that actually shippes to Europe, please let me know!
