SinfulColors Full Throttle Swatches

Hey guys!
*polishes were provided for free in exchange for my honest opinion*

Today I have 3 of the 5 polishes from the SinfulColors Summer 2014 Full Throttle Collection. These polishes are rubberized textures.

The formula on all 3 of these polishes was very nice. It was not thin and very easy to work with; almost no cleanup was needed! The colors available are very race car-ish, as well!

First up, Rain Rubber. This "brilliant burnout blue" is my kind of color (but you know this, if you have read my blog at all... I love my blues!)


The other two polishes were worn together, Rubber Ball and Race Rubber (pink and red, respectively).

If you are not a fan of textures, have no fear: the texture on these polishes is very minimal and I don't think it would be offensive to those who don't love texture on their nails.

These polishes are available at Rite Aid and Walgreens for summer 2014.

Check out SinfulColors on Facebook and on Twitter.

Bestie Twin Nails with The Little Canvas!

Hey guys!

Last week, Alaina from The Little Canvas sent out a call for someone to do a manicure swap or bestie twin nails and I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to post more than once a month! Haha!  So here we are!

We drew inspiration from this picture from Pinterest. I think the flowers are perfect colors for spring/summer!

I used OPI's My Vampire Is Buff (3 coats) and then dotted Essie's Butler Please, Bettina's Resort Starfish, and Sation Abbacadazzle. I finished with a coat of my trusty China Glaze Fairy Dust and topped it with Glisten and Glow HK Girl Top Coat.


I didn't love the colors together once I had them on the nails but I stuck with them :-)

Go check out Alaina's post, I'm sure it's fantastic!

Talk to you soon!
