Sinful Colors Professional Nail Colors Collection

Heeeeey guys! How are ya'll this Tuesday?

It is yet another hot AND humid day in the AZ. Current temp is 101 degrees (38.33 °C) with 38% humidity and only 20% of precipitation. Yesterday around 6 PM, the skies were covered in dark black clouds, but guess what, we received like two droplets of rain from that. The sky looks like that again today... So I'm not sure how it's gonna go down later. Rain or not, the humidity is killing me, might as well let there be rain. Crossing my fingers. I love the rain, especially love to look at it from my window. I think it's rather romantic.

I've made it quite obvious that I am a HUGE fan of Sinful Colors. There has not been a single shade I dislike from them, and that's saying a lot. Sinful Colors have many finishes, all with the same formula and consistency. I love Sinful Colors so much, every time I see a new collection on display, I can't help but pick up a few. Without even realizing it, I soon accumulated quite the collection. It's nothing big or impressive, and I am by no means bragging. I just simple wanna share with you all these super pretty shades. Maybe some will catch your eyes and will end up picking 'em up.

After poking around and doing some research, there are apparently 12 principal nail polish finishes.

• Creme
• Duo-Chrome
• Frost
• Glitter
• Iridescent
• Lustre
• Matte
• Micro-Glitter
• Micro-Shimmer
• Opalescent
• Prismatic
• Shimmer

With that said, being the versatile brand that Sinful Colors is, they produce most of these finish; I have yet to see Duo-Chrome, Iridescent or Opalescent, I could be wrong. Of these finishes, I own five of the finishes, cremes being the most abundant and matte in last place with only one.

No matter what the finish comes out to be, in my opinion, I feel like the formulas are all the same. The nail color isn't too watery nor is it too thick so that eliminates the streakiness and skips that other dry formulas can do or the polish running off to the sides like watery ones. If applied in a thick coat, these polishes will be opaque enough equivalent to two coats from other brands. The drying time is pretty quick I must say, probably no more than two minutes. Once the nail color is applied, it's guaranteed to stay own with no chips for at least a week. I have worn these with and without top coats and even without top coats, they fend well on their own. I actually wore Rise & Shine for two weeks as a review.

I've worn Prismatic Micro-Glitter and Lustres  alone and on top of other colors. If they're worn alone, you'll need to apply two or more layers in order for it to show its color. When worn on top of other colors, one coat is enough to see the micro-glitter.

Probably my least favorite finish from Sinful Colors is the matte one. I don't know it it's just me, but this matte did not last me. Like, it started shipping the day after it was applied. Everything just went downhill from there.

Below are every bottle of Sinful Colors I own, separated into the finish, alphabetized for your convenient. Go ahead and check them out. Let me know which one caught your eyes. Or if you've already tried Sinful Colors, which shades are your favorite. I'd love to pick up more shades in the future, it's good that they're available at many stores and for an affordable price.

Sephora by OPI - Hautelook Order

Tuesday greetings everyone! We're
almost there guys, just
a couple more days until the weekend. Imma go swimming on Friday so I definitely have something to look forward to. How are you all doing?

Have you checked out my Mani Monday post from yesterday yet? I used the Sephora by OPI for the first time. Which is what this post is  about today. Sephora by OPI was on Hautelook a couple of weeks back for $3 each. I'm not entirely sure, but the "original" priced listed was for $15 or $18; either way, I picked up five which only costed me $15. There were probably twelve or fifteen shades available for sale but by the time I got to it, five or six shades were already sold out. The five shades I did pick up were my favorite from the bunch.  Thinking back, I should have bought a couple more...maybe next time.

left to right: A True Romantic, Seeing Pink Elephants, Handpicked for Me, Mermaid to Order, Go My Own Way

A True Romantic and Seeing Pink Elephants are cremes while Handpicked for Me, Mermaid to Order and Go My Own Way are shimmers.

Although this was my first time using Sephora by OPI, I have very high expectations for this because I have heard nothing but praises about 'em. I am preeeetty excited to try them out myself. From what I can see from the swatches, the formula of these polishes are very thin, thinner than what I'm used to. They apply evenly without streaking and they dry super fast!

The shimmers are fairly sheer. With just one coat, you can absolutely still see your nails underneath. It's basically a tint. With two coats, there's more color to it, but you can still see the nails underneath. I used three coats to achieve the right amount of color and I can no longer see my nails underneath. Please keep in mind that I do paint a thin coat each time, they dry faster than thick coats.

The cremes are a little thicker than the shimmers but it is still not nearly as thick as other polishes. These too, like the shimmers, apply evenly with each strokes and does not streak either. The cremes dry a tad slower than the shimmers but overall, it is still quick if compared to other brands. From what I can see from my swatches, I can probably be satisfied with just one coat because it is super opaque.

I used Handpicked for Me yesterday and I am super pleased. The color is so fresh and paired with my freshly trimmed nails, it looks super neat and clean. The pinkish lilac color works great with my skin tone and I think it'll look great with many ranges of skin tones. It creates a great contrast pop that adds color to the nail, a high maintenance look without the effort.

I have yet to wear or swatch Mermaid to Order and Go My Own Way on my nails so I really cannot tell you yet how it looks with my skin tone. Mermaid to Order is a greenish teal that glistens and shimmers when it catches the light. As for Go My Own Way, it's a grayish navy blue. It's shimmery but does not so much reflects the light like how Mermaid to Order and Handpicked for Me does. I think shades like this are perfect for the toes.

Seeing Pink Elephants is a true bubble gum pink. It is pink, it is creme, it is opaque, it is in your face. A classic color any nail enthusiast must include in their collection. A True Romantic is a whitish cream shade that is very professional. With one thin coat, this polish can be sheer. It just so happens that sheer nail are in for Spring. Yippee! 

Hopefully this post helped out those who are reluctant in trying Sephora by OPI or those who wanted to try these shades. What shades would you like to see next? Comment down below.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading guys! :)
