SinfulColors Star Blast Off

 *Provided for Review*

Hey lovelies!  SinfulColors has been introducing lots of bright and colorful shimmers and glitters for summer.  They have quite a few collections out right now, filled with bright creams from their core line and some new polishes too.  It's no secret they are one of my favorite drugstore brands, and this year they have added holiday themed, matte glitters. When you see them in the display you can't help but grab one!

Today I have one of those holiday glitters.  This is Star Blast Off, the 'star' of their Having A Blast collection.  I used it as a double accent over ORLY Frosting.  I did this intentionally because I wanted you to see that in my bottle the red glitter did bleed slightly and tinged the clear base.  Not every bottle is that way; I've seen many in Walgreens that were fine. I still liked the effect anyway and so easy! Two coats.

Star Blast Off - bottle is Out Of This World

The Having a Blast collection is fresh and festive for the 4th of July.  The collection contains the 6 polishes below including the beloved Green Ocean (reminds me of fireworks on the nails, so I get it)!

I tried a few other polishes from this collection, Snow Me White and Ruby Ruby.  Snow Me White is perfect for a white a base under neons and for any glitter.  It covers in 2 coats.  Ruby Ruby is a very pretty deep candy apple red (I suggest a base coat) - for the price point, I recommend them all!  I will have more swatches up from a few other polishes in this collection soon.

Star Blast Off and the Having a Blast collection is currently available at Walgreens, and other mass retailers for $1.99 each.  You can keep up with SinfulColors on their website, twitter, Facebook and other social media. 

I can't wait to hear what you will be wearing on your nails for the 4th of July, so let me know!

A Beautiful Glitter Bomb

Today I want to share a beautiful glitter topper with you that was graciously offered as a prize in a small polish group I belong to. It is made by Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer and it is called Heart of Texas. This polish was specially made and therefore only a few bottle exist, but I just had to share it.

 
All photos are taken in direct sunlight.

 For undies I used 2 coats of Above the Curve's Ultra Holo Pink (pointer, middle and pinky) and Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer's Untrodden Snow (thumb and ring finger). 


This is also 2 coats of Heart of Texas with a bit of dabbing. I topped everything with my latest go-to fast dry top cot from Above the Curve.

*DISCLAIMER: All polishes in this post were purchased by me with the exception of Heart of Texas as mentioned above which was I won. There are no affiliate links in this post. Links are provided for your convenience.
