Sinful Colors Savage-Revisited

Happy Tuesday Loves!

Today I have a reswatch of a little beauty by Sinful Colors: Savage

For some reason, the original post I did on this color is one of the most searched posts on my blog. That being said, I think my original swatches of it were pretty horrible so I decided to redo them and give this polish the love it deserves.

Savage is a really pretty matte turquoise that was randomly released at the beginning of this year. At first it wasn’t marketed that well, but I think it’s been included in some of their recent seasonal displays.

Anyhow, I really, really love this color. I own a lot of Sinful Colors, but this is the only time I’ve seen them make a matte, and they did a really good job with it. The formula is really smooth and it goes on completely opaque in 2 coats without any yucky streaking or chalkiness that you often see with mattes. Check it out (try to ignore the horrible stainage on my cuticles):

And just for fun, here it is with a top coat:

So what do you think of Savage?

Do you prefer it matte or with a topcoat?

NOTD: A Leopard In The Celtic Sun

Hey Peeps!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

I woke up this morning with a migraine the size of Texas, so I’m pretty sure my week can only get better from here.

Anyway, today I have a mani that I did using the insanely bright China Glaze Celtic Sun. It’s a neon that is pretty much  the exact same color of a yellow highlighter, and it’s so bright that it made my nails look like they were glowing-even in the dark!

I saw  a cute and simple stamping mani on another blog (I can’t remember which one at the moment, but I will give credit when I do) that I felt my limited nail art skills could actually recreate, so I decided to give it a try with this amazing brightness.

In the pics below I used 4  coats of Celtic Sun on all but my ring finger. On my ring finger I used 2 coats of OPI Alpine Snow, then stamped on the leopard print using Wet ‘n Wild Black Creme, and went back through with a dotting tool to dab on spots of Celtic Sun. Peep it:

See what I mean about it being bright?!

My camera was freaking out when I tried to photograph it.

Even though neons like this can be annoying to apply and take forever to build up, I think the color pay off is totally worth it.

How do you feel about neons? Love ’em or leave ’em?

Sinful Colors Amethyst and China Glaze Electric Lilac

Happy Saturday Peeps!

Sorry today’s post is a bit late, I couldn’t drag myself out of bed this morning. I’m still feeling kinda crummy so I’m gonna try to keep this short and sweet…

First up is Sinful Colors Amethyst. This is a beautiful purple creme that just came out in their new Go Plaid collection. I had to snag this baby because I love purples and I’m always excited when Sinful Colors come out with new shades.

In the pics below I used 2 coats. It went on perfectly and it’s super shiny even without a topcoat. Peep it:

As pretty as Amethyst is, I couldn’t leave it alone so I decided to top it off with the glittery goodness of China Glaze Electric Lilac.

Electric Lilac is a gorgeous lilac jelly packed with tons of pale blue, pink and purple glitter. It’s freakin’ amazing. In the pics below I used one coat of it over Amethyst:

See why I can’t get enough purple polish and why I have more purples than any other color in my stash? It’s because of beauties like these two.

Let me know what you think of these lovelies, and have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
