SinfulColors Whiteboard

 *Provided for review*

September marks the start of fall and all things I love!  I'm sure back to school was one of them, but it's been so long now that it seems like a distant memory.  I'm excited to see what SinfulColors has planned for later this fall; but they recently released a Back to School collection and they are on sale at Walgreens again for .99 this week!  I've posted quite a few from this collection of demi-mattes and glitters already:  Hazed, Truth or Lavendare and Night Owl for example.  These are all still available at Walgreens and on sale right now!!

My picks from SinfulColors A Class Act collection

Today I have one more from the Chalkboard Diaries collection, Whiteboard.  This is a demi-matte finish white polish and is one of the 3 Walgreens exclusive shades.  I love a white mani in the summer, because it's so fresh and looks great with bright clothes and accessories.  I wanted to squeeze this in while the weather is still summer-like, but as a base for art it will be great any time. 

SinfulColors Whiteboard

This is 3 coats of Whiteboard without any topcoat.  I had a bit of leveling issues so the 3rd coat helped to even things out, but I still couldn't get it perfect.  I love the soft finish on this one, with being a semi matte, and grabbed a back up bottle to try out the formula of that one. Aside from the leveling issues, the wear was great and had no chipping issues at all!

Make sure to check the bottle so you get Whiteboard and don't end up with a Snow Me White.  :-)

What colors/ finishes would you like to see SinfulColors do later this fall?

Jesslacquer Fairy Dust - Oh My Flakie Goodness!

 *Prize*

 *Provided for review*

 

Happy Saturday!  I am so honored and excited to share a polish from new indie on the scene, Jesslacquer.  Jess is releasing her new fall polish collection, OMFG - Oh My Flakie Goodness! and it looks to be a stunner based on the polish I'm wearing now.  She had a contest on social media to help names the shades, and I am so flattered that she picked one my names! 
As a thank you to those whose names were selected, she sent us one of the new polishes! And because she's already a sweetheart, she sent one more so I could post my reviews and (little did I know at the time) swatches that you will drool over because of how amazing this collection is!  Thanks so much, Jess!

So, first the package came and the bottles were wrapped so adorably that I had to share with you! Talk about immediately getting me excited...shiny magenta wrapping will do it every time! :)

Then I unwrapped one, and woah......

Then I put is on, and squee!!

Indoors

Fairy Dust is the name of this polish, and I am smitten with it!  This was 3 easy coats, and a topcoat. The first coat was sheer, so you could easily layer it over something.  But 2-3 coats will definitely make Fairy Dust opaque and each coat adds more magic! I have such a weakness for grey polishes.

Fairy Dust is described as "a light grey with holographic glitter, pink/purple/gold multichrome flakies, and teal/green multichrome flakies."  But I think my "OMFG!!" was just as accurate.  I mean, this macro:

I've included a picture she posted that shows all 7 shades in the Oh My Flakie Goodness collection available as of tonight on her Etsy shop. The full collection has crellies, jellies, toppers - something for everyone!  This is her second collection to date, and I am definitely excited to see what's next for Jesslacquer.   You can also keep up with Jesslacquer on her Instagram

 

Thanks for stopping by and please let me know if you picked up any from the OMFG collection!  I have another to show you soon, so until then...

Polish & Posies: Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer - Siren's Summer Vacation

**Polish in this post was purchased by me with a small blogger discount**

I think it is safe to say that you have seen me pose with various flora from my own garden as well as my parents'. I was thinking of starting a small series called Polish & Posies, where I will feature a polish that matches or coordinates with a flower or plant. What do you think? Let's try it out, shall we?

I try not to feature a polish that is not currently available in a store or indie shop, but I have to make an exception here! I love it when a polish matches the flowers so I had to share this beauty!

This is a limited edition polish created by Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer. Siren's Summer Vacation is described as a neon purple with turquoise, pink, and purple glass flecks. It dries to a matte finish, but I preferred a shiny finish so it is shown with a coat of Rica's Glossy Glam over it. 

I think this Siren likes petunias!

This Siren applied like a dream on both my tips and toes and was opaque in two average coats. Overall, I adore this shade. I've had many compliments on my pedi polish the last few weeks, which just happens to be Siren's Summer Vacation! People seemed to enjoy the name too, agreeing that it feels nice and Summery. I wonder where Siren goes for her Summer vacation?

I know Summer will soon be drawing to a close, but what are your current favorite shades for summer fun? Let me know in the comments and enjoy every last ray of that Summer sunshine!

SinfulColors Truth or Lavendare and Night Owl

 *Provided for review*

I'm back with another installment of gorgeous new SinfulColors to show you.  This new 'A Class Act' collection is right up my ally with all these blues, purples, berries, and mattes!  With that said, I have been missing seeing some oldie but goodie SinfulColors being re-released.  So what better place than here to start my campaign? 

I pulled SinfulColors Zeus out of my melmer the other day and gazed at the bottle for awhile. You should look up swatches of Zeus if you haven't seen it.  I will definitely post a swatch of it in an upcoming post (+ untried!).  Bringing back Zeus, Verbena, Seaweed, and releasing some international shades - like Lagon (spelled correctly) - would make me super happy! *hint, hint*
But I digress....

These new shades are also gorgeous; keep up the good work, SinfulColors! Just take a look at Truth or Lavendare, one of the recent demi-mattes:

Love the name, and the formula was pretty good.  The above was 2 coats of Truth or Lavendare and I used 1 coat of a matte topcoat to make it fully matte because the dry time was a little longer than the others from this collection.

A couple of days later, I had to see how Night Owl looked over top of it.  What you see here are two accent nails of Night Owl and you can see that Truth or Lavendare wore well over that time.  Truth or Lavendare did start to revert back to its demi-matte finish after a few days of washing and cuticle oil.  I love the bottle shot of Night Owl below, the gold that the iridescent flakies pick up is amazing!

Are there any older SinfulColors polishes you would love to see re-released?  What do you think of these?
