Sinful Colors "Let's Talk" is another frustrating purple that demands to be photographed blue. Purples are a NIGHTMARE to photograph properly. I'd say most of my photos here lean a bit more blue than the color is in reality. I think the most accurate photo of this color is the photo to the left, the bottom of the bottle. Picture the other photos a touch more purple and you'll be golden.
I believe "Let's Talk" would be classified as a pearl/satin finish. (See this wonderfully helpful article at The Edge of Sanity on defining finishes). It has no noticeable shimmer particles but has a pearl like sheen to it. Now you know me, I love cremes, I tend to steer clear of shimmery and pearly polishes but this one is really pretty and I just LOVE purple so I snatched it up. For $1.99 you really cannot really go wrong.
This polish took just two coats for the results below. It was opaque and smooth. I loathe pearl-like polishes because I often times find them unbearably streaky and annoying to apply. Not so with "Let's Talk". It applied like a dream and finished with no streaking whatsoever.
I have found that I really enjoy these drug store cheapies. Sinful Colors is a fantastic bargain for just $1.99.
FYI: ALL NAIL POLISH, including Sinful Colors of course, is Buy One Get One 1/2 Off at Rite Aid this week. I went in and, GASP, I didn't get anything, but I will probably venture back and pick something up later in the week. But that means you can get two of these babies for about $3. You simply cannot go wrong.
