Sinful Colors-Winterberry & Finger Paints-Purple Palette

Hey Guys! Today I finally have some pictures that are better quality! Yay! Anyway, I know that a lot of other nail polish blogs do a lot of super cool, super fancy nail art and such...well I am just not that talented. Someday I hope to get into nail stamping but just haven't gotten around to it yet. This manicure is one that I consider "fancy" even though I just used a sponge to add some glitter.

Here are the colors I used

The first polish is Finger Paints-Purple Palette. This polish is a really nice, deep purple glitter with a purple base color. It goes on easily but is a pain to remove. The second color is Sinful Colors-Winterberry. I just recently got this color and really liked the subtle shimmer it has.

Here is the manicure! I thought it turned out nicely. It was really easy to get this look. Here I have two coats of Winterberry, I let that dry and then I sponged on the Purple Palette to get a French Mani type look.

Also, these pictures show the current length of my nails. They are a lot shorter than the previous two posts but I like this length and ((knock on wood)) I haven't had a break since I filed them down.

I know it seems like I have an odd obsession with Sinful Colors nail polish but that's not the case. Though I do like it because for the most part it is a good formula and it is only $1.99 per bottle. For my next post I'll be sure to use a different brand of polish. 

Sinful Colors- Midnight blue & China Glaze Luxe and Lush

Good afternoon! Today I have another manicure that I did a while ago, while my nails were still super long, and when all I had to take pictures with was the crappy little camera on my BlackBerry. I did this manicure around the same time I did the one that I posted yesterday. Apparently I was really into the accent nail look.

Again Sorry for the crappy quality!

I really liked this manicure, the Midnight Blue has a wonderful shimmer to it which is hard to see in this picture. But the real beauty in this manicure is China Glaze-Luxe and Lush. When I first saw this color online I knew that one day it would be mine! Luxe and Lush is from their Hunger Games collection and it is GORGEOUS!! I love, love, love this color! The flakes are perfect and have a lovely pastel shimmer to them that is to die for. 

For this Manicure I decided to put New York Colors Matte Me Crazy top coat over my nails. This gave Luxe and Lush a completely different effect, the flakes were like little rainbow embers on my nail. It looked fantastic and again, this picture just does not do the polish justice. 

Sinful Colors Combo!

Good Morning! Today I am going to post my first nail polish swatch! So Exciting! I am going to apologize now for the quality of the picture, it is really rather pathetic. After the first couple posts I will be using a different camera which will hopefully capture the beauty and shine of the polish better than the camera on my BlackBerry.

For this manicure I used two different colors from Sinful Colors. The base coat on all the nails is called Athens, part of the Sinful Colors Cast Away collection. I have always liked the formula for sinful colors polish and this one was no exception. Athens is a very nice creme polish, it went on easy and I had full coverage with two coats.

The color on the accent nail is Green Ocean. I am not sure what collection this is from but I purchased it around St. Pattys day. -If anyone knows what collection it is from I would really appreciate it if you let me know! =]- This color was not so easy to work with. It is pretty globby and took a while to get the coverage I wanted. However, it was worth it. This flakey polish is so sparkly, it's awesome! The picture really does not do the color justice.

This picture is a bit old, I did this manicure a few weeks after I purchased the Green Ocean polish, and my nails are not that long anymore. =( I loved having these awesomely long nails but they were just too hard to manage so I filed them down a bit to avoid breaking them as often.

Well that is it for today! Tomorrow I should have another post of a manicure I did a while back and then, fingers crossed, I'll be post more pictures, and better quality pictures.
