Repeat Nails

I generally try to vary what I wear on my nails and what I post about on here so it doesn't get too repetitive but today I have a polish which I already posted about fairly recently, I felt like it deserved to be included again to give it another outing and more praise.

 

Snow Me White by Sinful Colors is now definitely my go to polish for white, whether that's as a base for neons or stamping or just on it's own.

 

A good white polish, like a good black, is pretty much essential in every nail addicts stash, I think, and in Snow Me White I reckon I have found my favourite.

 

It's opaque in two coats, applies beautifully and doesn't take too long to dry, pretty much everything you could ask for in a colour which is used as a base for other colours or designs.

 

And I even think it looks pretty nifty on it's own. :)

Sinful Colors - Snow Me White

I really only put this on the use as a base coat but I was so impressed with how well it covered, and I ran out of time to stamp, that it got a little outing all by itself.

 

These pictures are two coats of Snow Me White and as you can see it's lovely and opaque.  I think this polish might take over from my Barry M white as my favourite base coat.

 

It should be an ideal base for stamping on, I hope.

 

Sinful Colors Snow Me White - Stamping

I decided to try out Sinful Colors Snow Me White to see how well it stamped.

 

The answer is, reasonably well, while it's not totally opaque it does give fairly good coverage and for £1.99 it would be hard to complain about it.

 

Now I just need to try it out and see how it is as a base colour, by the way it stamps I'm hoping it'll be an opaque in two coats kind of polish which will provide a nice clean base for other polishes.

Nail Junkie Stamped

I decided to stamp over yesterday's Nail Junkie manicure with another of the fantastic Kiko Mirror Collection, this time I used 629 Copper.

 

 

I'm not too sure what this design is supposed to be, maybe some sort of animal print, but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.  I used Gals plate GA32.

 

The copper colour goes well over the teal glitter and makes for a nice contrast, and yet again you can see that the Kiko polish stamps really well and it totally opaque.

 

I like the fact that from a distance this stamping looks like a full cover nail wrap.

Sinful Colors - Nail Junkie

This is one of the Sinful polishes I picked up in Boots the other week, Nail Junkie, I couldn't resist it with a name like that and all that glitter packed into the pretty teal base.

 

 

These pictures are two coats over W7 Suede in Aqua, although now I've used it I reckon Nail Junkie would hold it's own without a base if you applied 3 coats.

 

The teal coloured jelly base is filled full of different coloured glitter peices; blue, green, turquoise and a coppery golden colour too.  To me it basically looks like Last Friday Night from OPI's Katy Perry Collection but with a darer teal base, the glitter combination is pretty much exactly the same. 

 

I really like this polish, it's bright and glittery and would be perfect for a summer holiday manicure. 

 

I did have one minor issue though, when I removed the manicure it has stained my nails REALLY badly, I'm not sure whether that was down to the W7 polish of the Sinful one seeping through, either way even through a base coat this manicure has turned my nails a horrible blue colour!  So, beware if you're trying a similar combination, make sure you have a good base coat on and maybe even add an extra layer, just to be safe.

Sinful Colors come to Boots UK!

Hurrah!  Budget US brand Sinful Colors are now available in store and online from Boots!  The best news?  They're only £1.99 a bottle!  Obviously I had to pop along to Boots and check them out.
 

The stand had already been well picked over and there were a few shade missing but you can see there is a pretty big range of shades and finishes available.  Creams, foils, glitters and shimmers all feature in the range and I am super excited to see whether we get the new collections over here like you do in America, definitely another budget brand to look out for, we are being spoiled in the UK at the moment!

I was very good and only chose 3 shades (which were part of a 3 for 2 offer, so that's under £4 for three polishes, bargain!) to bring home with me.

Easy Going, Nail Junkie (how could I not with a name like that) and Social Ladder.

Sinful are large 15ml bottles, so a total bargain for £1.99.  They do however have that cheap nail varnish smell to them (they are STRONGLY scented) so make sure you apply in a well ventilated room and I think we can safely assume they are not 3 free, but to be honest for £1.99 with a great range of colours, who cares?  Not me!

Now for some close up bottle shots of mu purchases.

Nail Junkie is a teal polish, jam packed with different coloured glitter pieces.  The formula seems quite thin so I think this will be a layering glitter rather than a stand alone but the colour is gorgeous!

Easy Going is a pale pink nude; I am feeling the nude love at the moment so I had to try this one out to see what Sinful's cream formula was like.

Social Ladder is basically the shimmer version of Easy Going, a soft pale pink nude which, in the bottle, has a lovely pink green duochrome shift it remains to be seen if it translates to the nail.  This ones also seems to have quite a thin formula so I suspect it'll need to be layered over something to get full opacity (is that even a word?).

Here's a very quick look at a Nail Junkie accent nail I put on with my manicure from yesterday, I couldn't resist using it for a little accent nail to see what it was like.
