Sinful Tokyo Doll

Hello there!

This is Sinful Colors "Tokyo Doll" which is a shimmering raspberry shade with blue micro glitter.

I was so excited with this one that I actually forgot to snap a shade picture, sorry... ;)









Application was flawless, and this one is very well pigmented, unlike a lot of other Sinful polishes which are often very sheer requiring quite many coats. This one was three coats.

I'm really liking this one - it's a very summery shade, not at all autumn appropriate I guess ;)
How do you like it?

Hope you've enjoyed this post, see you soon.

NOTD: Sinful Silly Alix

Good Day!

This is todays nail, Sinful Colors "Silly Alix", which to me resembles a peachy golden shimmer shade.
I love golds in theory and in the bottles, but well on my nails they look... um... not that good! Ever experienced this phenomenon; loving shades in theory, only to discover you don't like them on? I do that quite often, may it be nail polish, eye shadow or lipstick... ;)
Anyway, this went on smoothly, but was very sheer, so four coats were needed... (those sheer polishes are a pita.... lol!)







How do you feel about golds?

See you soon ;)

NOTD: Sinful Rich In Heart

Today's NOTD is Sinful Rich In Heart.
This shade to me resembles a deep, dark blackened rich red (lots of adjectives there ;)).
I saw a picture of this in a Spanish nail blog (can't remember which one), and fell in love with it instantly, I just knew I had to have it ;)
Consistency is great and it applied very well.
The swatches below are three coats with Seche on top. Please excuse the pre-cleanup mess...

NOTD: Sinful Forget Now

Hey all; how's Wednesday going? ;)

Today's NOTD is Sinful Colors Forget Now.
This little gem is very similar to the China Glaze glass-flecked polishes, for instance the "Summer Days" collection, which I personally l-o-v-e ♥ ! Forget Now is a hot fuchsia with pink and blue shimmer, very pretty! My camera didn't cooperate well enough to fully capture the sparkles and "glass flecks", but I hope you can still get a good idea of this one ;)
The swatches below are 3 coats, and it applied without giving me any trouble at all ;)

I truly love this; this is a great alternative, or compliment, to the China Glaze Summer Days polishes, since the effect is very similar. If you're looking for a polish with the same finish, I think you'd love this! ;)

How do you like this one?

See you very soon ;)

OK, that's it...

...someone please get me into shopping rehab immediately! Now!! Pronto!!! :D

Seriously, I have done a little to much hauling lately, and as fun as it is I have to slow down a bit ;) Therefore I promised myself yesterday that I won't be shopping any more makeup and nail polish for a while. So; as of today I am officially on a no-buy until the end of May... *sigh* I have a few more small packages on the way, but they will be the last ones (*sigh*) for a little while.

(Inner dialog: No-buy, how extremely boring.... What the heck I am supposed to post about? Well, how about all the stuff you already have, stupid... )
#:)

Anyway; this much anticipated package was delivered by the nice mailman (well, it's mail woman, actually!) yesterday.
I've been dying to try Sinful Colors polishes for quite a while now, so when Cherry Culture had 25% off the entire store recently, I decided to order... a few of them .... *ahem*.
While I was at it, I also just happen to throw in a *few* NYX polishes and pencils... Strange, isn't it? I don't understand how that just happens... ;)

Well; are you ready to take a look at the awesomeness? Great; fasten your seat belts, here we go!


Almost all of the pics in this post are a little blurred to the left.. I'm so very sorry, I didn't see it until I had completed uploading them... I took a look at the camera lens, and there was a spot of something there... I hope you can still get a good idea of the colors, though... ;)










L-R: Memory of Antigua, Lagoon, Lioba and Tokyo Doll

L-R: Orlando, Glitz, Silly Alix and Chicago

L-R: Bahama Sunset, Bali Mist, Pink Diamond and Pretty in Pink

L-R: Forget Now, Real Red, Rich in Heart and Yummy

Fashion Neon and Gorgeous





Moving on to the NYX Girl polishes...



L-R: Mother of Pearl, Naked, Poppy, Lingerie

L-R: Dark Cherry, Wild, Azure and Showgirl


Here's an example of just how off the Cherry Culture color swatches are.
I thought it would be nice to have a grey polish in my stash, since I don't have any. So, after having a look at the swatch below, I thought I had found a perfect one! Are they similar, you think...? Well, this is a nice blingy color per se, so I'm fairly happy with it judging only by the bottle, but it wasn't exactly what I expected it to be when I ordered it... ;)


NYX Showgirl...



Two more shades in another bottle design; have no idea why, I prefer those bottles above, though ;)
L-R: Whisper and Cocktails




NYX Long Lip Liners in "Prune", a dark plummy shade and "Plush Red", which is more of a bright hot pink than it is a red. I knew this before I ordered it, it was my intention to buy a shade like that. Those are BOGO (buy one, get one); so I paid $2 for both.


Slim eye pencil in "Echo Green" - a gorgeous medium metallic teal-green shade
I dunno if this shade has been discontinued, it isn't available on the NYX website, so hurry up and grab it if you like it :)

L-R: Prune, Plush Red and Echo Green
Eeek; my hand looks wrinkly...




So; this was my recent Cherry Culture haul. The Sinful polishes are $2 each, and the NYX Girl polishes are $1.50 each, which I consider cheapo cheap! Plus, as I mentioned; I got 25% off, so they were even cheaper.
I'm not so sure I'll be able to stick to this no-buy commitment, I guess we'll have to wait and see, time will tell.. ;)

Which are your favorites from the above? Any Sinful favorites that are not included in this haul?

Hope to see you very soon; have a great weekend!!
