Manicure Monday: Prime Purple

Happy Monday everyone! Ugh, I know, I know.. It's Monday, I shouldn't be this enthusiastic about Monday. But you know what day it is today! Manicure Monday!!! :D

I'm feeling the Monday's purple today y'all. Not blue, but purple. In fact, Prime Purple to be exact. This is one of the new SILK formula from Sinful Colors. It basically is a matte finish is what SILK is.

Sinful Colors Professional Nail Color in Prime Purple
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Diamond Shine Base & Top Coat

It was such a pain to remove the previous color. I redid my nails a couple of days ago for the funeral, so it still had somewhat of that staying power of newly applied polish. The fact that it was nearly black didn't help either.

I had to scrub my nails real good to get rid of all the products left behind. It somewhat stained my nails already, even though it was barely applied days ago.

Any who, I applied a base coat afterward to protect my nails from this week's manicure. Still using the Sally Hansen Diamond Shine.

I applied two thin coats of Prime Purple to my nails. If I would have done the first coat thicker, I think I could have left it at that. My nails were fully covered evenly. It took no more than 3 minutes to completely dry to the matte finish. This formula seems to be a tad thicker than their original. It's a little frustrating to work with, maybe it's just me this time. I'll give it another try before I completely judge it. 

Too jazz it up a little, I took my Seche Vite and applied it to the matte finish at random, like a horizontal, vertical and diagonal strike to have some contrast of shine and matte, It doesn't show up well with this shade. Maybe on a darker shade it will.

But yeah, that's it for this week's manicure. I'm really loving this purple. It makes me cheery looking at it. What do you guys think?
