polishSWATCHES: Sinfulcolors Mint Apple & Milani Neon Totally 80's = Spring Bling

I am so loving the color combination of Sinfulcolors Mint Apple & Milani Neon Totally 80's. The colors together are insane! I have to thank Nicole from Magic Maid for creating my lemming for this color (Sinfulcolors Mint Apple). For my brown beauties that read the blog this color is gorgeous against brown/warm skin tones and even has a hint of golden shimmer in it... RUN!, not walk, to the nearest drugstore to get this. THANK YOU NICOLE! :) Because I kept passing up this color and decided to go ahead and purchase it thanks to you.

Deciding to put these two colors together stemmed from some advice my really good friend gave me in order to keep myself in an upbeat mood today. She said to make sure that I surrounded myself with a lot of yellow since it's a happy color and known to lighten your mood and I added the green in because it's suppose to be a calming soothing color and that duo together is exactly what I need. :)

I applied 3 coats of Mint Apple to my nails and had no issues at all with the coverage, formula, or brush. If I had to describe this color I would have to say it's more of a teal green than mint green with those gorgeous hidden gold shimmers, because the the blue undertone is more obvious than the yellow.. As far as Milani Totally 80's I like this color as well, but noticed that the color varies a little. Placed on a stark white french tip the color looks more like a neon yellow like on my index finger with no green in it in real life and on my other fingers it looks more like the neon yellow green it's suppose to be.

I didn't place my topcoat on before snapping these pictures, but today my topcoat of choice was CND's Super Shiney. I've reached that point of the bottle where my Seche Vite topcoat has become stickey like syrup and hard to work with, so I decided this would be the perfect time to put the CND topcoat to the test.

So far so good with it and I think I may like it, but I'll be sure to update you and do a full review on it soon.

SinfulColors Rise & Shine... China Glaze Turned up Turquoise Dupe!

Yes, Sinful Colors Rise & Shine is looking like a China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise Dupe!

Okay ladies, I couldn't get a picture to catch the true hue of this polish today to save my life, but I still wanted to share with you all that these shades are so similar to each other in color that I was able to part ways with one and gift it to my daughter.

Both are true turquoises and gorgeous shades displaying more green undertones in real life than what is displayed in the photos. First chance I get with the correct lighting I plan to snap another photo of the two and update this post with the additional pics. I was really pleased with Rise and Shines coverage.

Index Finger: Turned Up Turquoise

Middle Finger: Rise and Shine

The really good thing about the Sinful Colors Rise and Shine polish versus the China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise is that with the first coat of polish there was no tip show or VNL (visible nail line). With several coats of China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise it shows it's just slightly (and I do mean slightly) darker than Sinful's Rise and Shine, but the difference really isn't drastic enough to reason owning both polishes.

My Poor Girl's OPI Collection

My Poor Girl's OPI Collection is what my Sinful Colors Professional Nail Color collection is affectionately called. And while I don't have all the colors, I have quite a few and the collection is constantly growing.

This is actually one of the best drugstore polishes in my opinion that you can buy for only $2 in which the wear time is comparable to more expensive brands with the exception of a good topcoat. I usually get around a weeks worth of wear (approx. 5 days) under normal conditions.

Recently my local drugstore had a BOGO sale (that I missed) and I'm desperately hoping that they have another. If you've never tried Sinful Colors Professional Nail Color it's certainly worth a try.

I hear a lot of people complain about having to apply numerous coats when using, but honestly I can't say that I have the same issue. Everyone's application of polish tends to be a little different and the fact that I am applying it to my natural nail may have something to do with it, but generally it only takes me two coats to achieve the desired color.
