SinfulColors: Daddy's Girl and Out of This World

Good morning my friends! I hope you're all doing well.  It's my first post since the 49ers lost to the Giants :-( Steve really thought this was their year but he was happy to see them get so far anyway. It was a good run.  Silly mistakes and a back up kick returner did them in.  I am just sad that I despise BOTH Super Bowl teams this year. If I had to pick one to root for it'd be the Pats though because I was born a Giants hater ;-) I used to really hate Tom Brady but after watching The Brady 6 on ESPN I have grown to like him a little.

Oh well, on to the polish...

Today I have two colors to show you from the SinfulColors holiday collection. Clearly I am late posting these and I want to apologize for that. However, I have seen these colors in the permanent display at my local drugstores so I think you'll still have no trouble getting your hands on these. 

First up is Daddy's Girl it's a semi sheer purple shimmer. I used three coats for the opacity shown and as you can see there's still a bit of VNL. I think this color might benefit from a base coat of something more opaque but it is still really pretty on its own. The shimmer is so pretty in this and it has a wet look to it that I really enjoy. 

Next I have Out of This World which is a shimmery silver/white/pearl color. I didn't think I'd like this but I am quite happy to say I do! It's actually really beautiful on the nail and I only needed two coats for the opacity shown in the photos.  I think it's a great color when you want something a bit understated but still interesting.  I am a fan! 

There are three more colors from this collection that I will share with you soon. I really enjoy SinfulColors. I adore that they are just $1.99 and really good quality for the money! What are some of your favorite SinfulColors colors?

Let's Go 49ers!

It's Sunday which means football. Tonight it's the 49ers vs. The Giants and hubby and I are rooting for the Niners. My husband Steve has  been a 49ers fan since he was a kid so he's excited that they're doing so well this year. Tonight we're going to his brother Phil's house to 1) celebrate Steve's upcoming birthday and 2) watch the game. Phil and his wife are huge Giants fans so there will be some tension tonight I am sure.

I have showed you my 49ers nail polish in a previous post but I thought I'd show you today's nails in honor of the game tonight. I used my official Niners polish and then I used a SinfulColors nail art polish in the color Flower Girl  and a white nail art polish from Claire's in my lame attempt at nail art. I suck at nail art LOL. 

Are you watching the game tonight? Who are you rooting for!? 

Orly: Androgynie

Ugh, there's tons of snow here in Connecticut and I do not like it at all. Steve and I are supposed to watch our nephew, P.J., tonight, but if they don't  make any attempts to plow (they haven't yet) IDK what we're going to do!  I hate snow, it makes me angry. It looks pretty at first but then it's a damn mess of slush and MUD. Ugh.

Anyway, today I have a polish from Orly to share with you. I picked Androgynie up a few weeks back at Sally Beauty Supply when I spied it on the discount table for $3.99. I was so excited for this color because in the bottle it's stunning. It's a deep chocolate brown with tons of silver microshimmer and holographic larger hex glitter. I wanted to love this. In the bottle it's perfect, I could stare at it all day... on the nail... well....

The large hex glitter is very difficult to get onto the nail, it just doesn't come out of the bottle. When it does it doesn't really show up anyway. I feel like it drowns in the base color so even when it is there it is covered in the brown and doesn't show up.

Now the photos are deceiving because you can see the hex glitter. I think that's because I used a flash. When the light hit the nail the larger glitter did show up... in normal lighting though it looked more like a speckled brown with some random hex sparkles (like 2 per nail). Have a look at the final photo of the bunch for the most accurate photo of what this looks like most of the time.

I used three coats in the photos. It was pretty opaque but I did experience some balding upon application.

  

So I do like this color still but I just want it to work! Please give me some tips for how to make this as amazing as it is in the bottle on my nail!
