NOLW- Sinful Colors Nirvana

That would be Nail of Last Week since I have been busy doing other things and not getting the photos off of my camera. This color looks brown in the bottle but on the nail I couldn't figure out if was brown, gray or some weird mix in between. I picked this baby up for 99 cents and it was well worth it. Two coats will do just fine but I did a third because I didn't put my top coat on and did some cleaning around the house. Not a good idea so it was only to touch up a few self-inflicted nicks.

So what color IS this?

Why Am I Buying Nail Polish

I am not even painting my nails on a regular basis but when I went in Walgreens a few days ago there it was staring me in the face. Sinful Colors and Wet N' Wild were on sale. Who can beat 99 cents and 69 cents for a bottle of polish. They were pretty much cleaned out but I did manage to snag a few that I wanted to try.

I can't wait to try the Fig and Nirvana. Those are my 2 faves out of this group.

Sinful Colors Innocent Konad-ing With M60

I am trying to get my nail polishing back on track.  The last time I did a Konad was...ummm...oh my...back in August.  That doesn't seem right but the pictures and dates don't lie.  But that is the past let's talk about the present.

I love argyle and I have done this print before with different colors but argyle is what I was in the mood for so here you have it:

Sinful Colors Innocent- base
Zoya Veruschka- argyle print
Konad Plate - M60

You can see where the stamping didn't quite make it in some areas but overall I am pleased.  Who really ever gets all that close to my nails anyway.

Sinful Colors Innocent

Sinful Colors Innocent is one of those colors I had to try.  It just looked so odd to me and not like something you would wear on your nails.  I am still trying to figure out whether I like it or not.  All day I find myself glancing at my nails trying to decide if I like it and how to Konad it.  I like polishes that throw me for a loop.

Lately I have been particulary hard on my nails and hands all together. As if you can't tell from the nubbins and dry hands. Lots of cleaning and a bit of stress is no good for my hands and nails. I know I should wear rubber gloves but always forget. Bear with me as I try to get them back on track.

Let's Meet Meets BM21

Happy Friday!!!

I decided  to try and tone down the brightness of the yellow by using China Glaze Side Saddle with Bundlemonster plate BM21.  It didn't really work though.  Maybe a different image that would have transfered more brown onto the nail would have toned it down more.  I do like the combo but goodness I need to keep practicing with the alignment.  You can see how the image is crooked.  

I used the upper left image.  When I chose Side Saddle I knew it was brown but when I put it on the plate it looked purple.  I had to double check and roll the bottle a few times.  Then the brown goodness came out.

I Am Back With Sinful Colors Let's Meet

First and foremost let me thank you all for the well wishes.  Death expected or unexpected is something that as I get older seems to be harder and harder to deal with.  I feel so deeply for the wife and son that were left behind and my heart just aches for them.  Monday was the funeral which my husband and I attended and then yesterday I felt like I could not function.  This is not someone who I was super close to, we went to college together.  I have seen him off and on through the years.  The fact of the matter was he was such a friendly and nice guy.  Always positive, always respectful, always funloving.  When someone like that dies there is always the question of why.  One of which I have racked my brains with for that past week and know I won't come up with an answer but still try.  Sorry for being long winded but I think I just needed to get it out.

Moving on to brighter and happier things I decided to do a bright color on my nails.  This is Sinful Colors Let's Meet.  You can still see my nail line after 3 coats but I like this color.  

I haven't done a Konad in ages and am clueless as to what colors might go well with this.  Any thoughts?

Hmmm...Lot's of Sinful Colors Posts.

Isn't it funny that I was clued into the fact that Sinful Colors was on sale be the sheer number of blog posts this week swatching Sinful Colors polishes.   I haven't been buying much polish lately which means I haven't even been checking for sales.  When I noticed so many Sinful Colors post in my blog stream I immediately pulled up the Walgreens flyer for this week and my theory was correct.  Sinful Colors $.99 this week.  I put $5.30 in my pocket and headed to Walgreens.  I allowed myself 5 bottles but only ended up getting 4.

Here are the lovely new additions to my collection:

Thank you to my fellow bloggers for the subliminal notice that it was time for me check out the sale.

Water Marbling- It Has Been A While

Hi everyone, hope your week is going well.  In my previous post I showed a quick swatch of Sinful Colors Snow Me White.  Perfect base for water marbling.  I went with a purple's theme this time.  I really like water marbling but usually don't have time for it.  Hence only one hand was done and I was off to something else.

Either way I am sharing the one hand with you.

Colors used:
Sinful Colors Snow Me White base and marbling
Zoya Perrie- OMG!! I have never used this before..I have to go check my pictures and see. 
China Glaze C-C-Courage
Sinful Colors Let's Talk

Sorry no clean up. Like I said sometimes it is off to something else.

Sinful Colors Snow Me White

Hey everyone.. it has been a while since I have done a nail post but I have a few coming.  I have really laid of painting my nails so much as the acetone or something really seemed to be weakening my nails.  I was itching for a quick mani so I just did a white polish that I haven't tried yet.

I remember when I was a child and me and my sisters would go to my grandmother's house for the summer.  She was the church secretary so she had office space in the basement to get work done.  Even though she had all sorts of nail polish upstairs there was nothing like painting our nails with a bottle of white out.  That used to be the white nail polish when I was young..lol!!

Do You Know What A Thimbleberry Is?

I don't but I'll figure it out by the end of this post. Anyhow here is Sinful Colors interpretation of Thimbleberry. Nice, I must say. A different color than I am used to wearing but I will be using this again.

Okay, a thimbleberry is kind of like a raspberry but Wikipedia says it doesn't ship well so that is why it isn't typically seen commercially. Thimbleberry jam is commonly sold in areas where they grown. Yum, I want to taste some now.

I Am on Cloud 9

Right now I am on cloud nine. I had a great Mother's Day (Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the Mom's), great workout out the gym this morning, and my tummy is full. But needless to say I am behind in my post so I need to catch up.

This Sinful Colors orange will definitly cause your eyes to do a double take. I wouldn't consider this a neon orange however it is quite orange soda bright with lots of POP!!


I decided to swatch what a white base under this polish would look like. While it is nice either way I do prefer it with a white base. It is more obvious in person but with 3 coats of polish on my pinky finger you can still see my nail line.

What colors do you prefer to use a white base under?

Sinful Colors Mint Apple

OOOOOOOOOO...mint apple!! I'll take it!! Greens have been all the rage for a while now it seems and this cheapie is just as gorgeous as the others. Since I am so behind on posting this color is no longer on my fingers but I did do a fresh pedicure with it last week. This color feels so spring-like to me. It has a small hit of shimmer to it and is very easy to apply.

Keeping It Simple

This will just be a short and sweet post about my current mani. A little more subtle and plain than I am used to but I like it. I used Sinful Colors Social Ladder on my nails and Sally Hansen Xtremewear Twisted Pink for the design on Konad plate M36.
