Sinful Colors Swatches

Good Sunday afternoon to everyone! Today I have swatches of three Sinful Color's polishes. They are San Francisco, Happy Ending and Call You Later. Happy Ending is on the top two fingers and then San Francisco is on the bottom two. Happy Ending required three coats and is quite sheer. It is a light grass green with a yellow shimmer. San Francisco required three coats as well and it is also sheer. It has a lighter green shimmer to it. For these swatches I used a base coat, but no top coat.


I then took Call You Later and put it over each of the colors in one coat. The glitter is sparse in some areas with the polish it is in being watery. The glitter in Call You Later is very fine and comes in many different greens. Overall I am not a fan of these just because of how many coats they take to become opaque. Do you have any colors by Sinful Colors? Do you like them? -Zoe

Rimmel Night Before Swatch

Good morning everyone! Happy Saturday! I hope you all have awesome plans for this weekend! I just plan on working out and doing my nails! Today I have a swatch of Rimmel's Night Before. This polish has a shorter and a bit fatter brush which takes some getting used to. For the picture below it is taken in a light box. I also used a base coat with no top coat for this swatch. It kinda reminds me of Max Factor Fantasy Fire which I also have. You can see the orange shift near the cuticles and in the bottle. There is not much else to say about this polish... so yeah! Talk to you guys tomorrow! :D -Zoe

Essie Borrowed and Blue Swatch

Hello! Welcome to Friday! Today I have a quick swatch of Essie's Borrowed and Blue. I love this blue! It is just the perfect baby blue! For this swatch I used 2 thin coats and 1 thicker. The polish itself is thin after you wipe off your brush from the extra polish anyway. For the last coat I used a bit of a thicker coat and then the polish become runny and you had to watch it to make sure it didn't flood your cuticles as you applied it! Overall I love this polish no matter what the formula! I should have 1 or 2 more posts today so keep and eye out for those! Thanks for reading on this Friday! -Zoe

Barry M Cobalt Blue Swatch with Sparkle!

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a good Thursday morning! School ended yesterday so I will now begin to swatch my entire nail polish collection for you! I have always wanted to do this so now I have all the time that I need! Today we will be starting off with my two Barry M's. These were sent to me because I won a giveaway! The two polishes are Cobalt Blue and Jewel Britannia. They both had nice formulas and went on very easy! Jewel Britannia has a very Fourth of July feel to it so I am sure I will be using it next month! Cobalt Blue took two coats but I am very sure you could get away with just one. For Jewel Britannia I used just one coat! That is all for today I will talk to you tomorrow! Bye!

All Boxed Up!

Hello again! I hope you are all having a good Saturday on this three day weekend for those of you in the U.S.! Today I have a nail design that took some skills! Lines! First I painted on one coat of China Glaze's Hanging in the Balance! I think this is the perfect medium 1 coat blue! I then took some black acrylic paint and a brush and made my lines and boxes! I finished off with a Kiss silver glitter striper along the edges! I am really proud on how this came out.... now for my other hand! :D Thank you for reading and have a great day! -Zoe

Spring WaterColor Nails

Hello! Sorry I have abandoned the blog! I just havent felt well and my life has been happening and there has been no time to paint my nails! A few days ago I had time and I created these bright spring watercolor nails. I just painted on two coats of Zoya's white polish (Can't remember the name) and then I took a makeup sponge and some acrylic paint and I created this design! On my pointer and middle finger I painted one coat of a sparkle polish and called that my accent nails! :D I really like how these look and they were super simple to make! Thanks for taking the time to read this! -Zoe
