Nail Polish Spotlight: Sinful Colors Lavender

*blows off dust*  Oh hello there, its been a while!  I would go on about some excuse about how life and recently starting a job has kept me from blogging but I'll just say I've missed y'all and I've missed talking about polish so let's get on with the post shall we...we shall! : )

Today the polish spotlight is shining over one of my favorite Sinful Colors polishes, Lavender!

Sinful Colors Lavender

Lavender is a "different" color to me.  It's kind of a medium muted blue with hints of purple (or periwinkle) in it.

I honestly bought this on a whim without really looking at it (polishaholic problems) and left it in my stash for almost a year without touching it!  I rediscovered it while organizing my polishes and decided to whip it on and it was love at first swipe.  The formula of this polish is great and I was able to get full opacity in two coats.  The wear of this polish was also shockingly wicked! (I'm trying to expand my vocabulary here!)  Confession time:  I took the photos above after wearing this polish for 4 (or 5) days and, as you can see, my nails still look good.

What do you think of Sinful Colors Lavender?  I absolutely love it!

Polish Spotlight: Butter London Knackered

Hey guys!  Today I want to shine the polish spotlight over Butter London's Knackered!  I got this polish a while back on Coterie.com and finally decided to wear it.  You can check out my Coterie haul post HERE to see what other colors I picked up and to find out what Coterie is all about.

Butter London Knackered:  A pearly grey polish with micro holographic glitters.

A couple of things that I love about this polish is the many colors that it changes to when you move your hands and the little hints of glitter.  Knackered was also easy to work with but it's just so darn sheer.  I applied three coats alone on my nails and you can still see my nail line.  Maybe a fourth coat would've been the ticket but I think it's ridiculous to have to paint more than three coats of a polish on your nails, especially one with this $15 price tag.

Okay so my pictures do NOT do this polish justice!  You have to go see this in person to really appreciate this color and all of its greatness! 

I wasn't really sure if I would like this color since I usually tend stay away from greys but this surprisingly shocked me.  Although it's nothing that I would where all the time it's definitely a color that I would wear when I want a change from my usual polish choices (ie. pinks, purples, and blues).

Do you have Butter London's Knackered?  If so, do you love it or hate it?  I personally think it would be a better polish and worth the price ($15) if it were more opaque.

Nail Polish Spotlight: Revlon Flirt and Julep Sienna

Hello hello everyone!  Today the spotlight is going to shine over one of my favorite combos for spring!

 Julep Sienna (a light gold metallic polish) and Revlon Flirt (a bright pinky purple creme polish)

Revlon Flirt is a gorgeous color but the application was a little patchy and it took three coats to reach full opacity.  Julep Sienna is gorgeous!!!  I absolutely love this gold and the application was flawless.  I only applied two coats to reach full opacity.

I've been loving accent nails for a while and love pairing cremes, metallics, and glitters together!  What are some of your favorite accent nail pairings?

Nail Polish Spotlight: Zoya Reece

Hey y'all!  Today the nail polish spotlight is going to shine over the beautiful Zoya Reece!

Zoya Reece: A rosy mauve duo chrome with gold frost.

 

Reece applied beautifully and was opaque in two coats.

I LOVE Zoya polishes!  They're easy to apply, long lasting, and come in a variety of colors and finishes.

What is your favorite Zoya polish?

Nail Polish Spotlight (Combo): Sinful Colors Endless Blue & Essie Shine of the Times

Hello hello everyone!  Today I have probably the most AMAZING combo on the planet, or at least I think it is!  I was swatching some new polishes that I had bought a while ago and I decided to try Essie's Shine Of the Times (SOTT) on top of Sinful Colors Endless Blue; I was stunned at how great they look together!  I couldn't stop moving and staring at my nails because all of the colors were just so captivating!  I'll just let y'all look at the pictures. 

Fact:  I actually took over 300 pictures of this mani (I'm NOT joking), but I'm sure you guys wouldn't of wanted to scroll through THAT many pictures (LOL) so I cut that amount down drastically! ; )

From L to R:  Sinful Colors Endless Blue and Essie Shine Of the Times

I applied one coat of Essie SOTT over two coats of Sinful Colors Endless Blue.  I must say that Endless Blue is probably my favorite blue polish in my collection.  The application was great (almost a one-coater) and it didn't stain my nails after wearing this mani for over a week.  Oh and did I mention that I had NO chipping what's so ever when I took this off!  This is definitely one blue polish that everyone should get!

Nail Polish Spotlight (Combo): Wet N Wild I Red a Good Book & Fergie Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night

Hey y'all! Today I have the Nail Polish Spotlight shining over a fun nail polish combo!

Fergie by Wet n Wild Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night and Wet n Wild I Red a Good Book

Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night (TGBGN) is a polish filled with small matte black glitters and medium gold glitters in a clear base.  I've had TGBGN for a while but I couldn't figure out what I wanted to wear with it...until now! 

I've been in a red polish mood lately so I decided to wear one of my many untried polishes, I Red a Good Book, and I fell in love with the two of these together!  At first I wasn't a big fan of the glitter after one coat but after I got more glitter on the nail it looked a lot better! 

The wear of this polish was suprisingly long!  I wore this mani for about five days and only had minor tip wear!  The only thing that I didn't like too much was that you can see my nail line through the base color.

What polish do you like pairing Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night with?  I think I might wear it over a gold color next!
