Happy Shopping! 

Gold Medal by Sinful Colors Professional

If you follow our blog or any of our social channels, then you already know how much I love the nail polishes from Sinful Colors Professional line... specially the $1.99 price! (sometimes I can find them for even less than that!)

This week's color is "Gold Medal".  

GOLD MEDAL #1397

This is a beautiful metallic color and I really like it!  It is definitely a fun color to wear but me personally, wouldn't wear every day.  Maybe for a special occasion like a party or a date night.  It would be perfect for any holiday event as well.

As you can see on the picture (above), a second coat is really not necessary but I highly recommend you apply a second coat in order to have an even finish.  (lessens the signs of the brushstrokes)

In my personal opinion, this is a keeper! 

I added a fun applique and a clear fast drying top coat to give it that extra shine!

Cherry Blossom by Sinful Colors Professionals

Today I bring to you "Cherry Blossom" by Sinful Colors Professional. 

Now, if you follow us on Facebook then you've watched our "weekly nail polish update"  video and you've seen the new additions to my "Sinful Color" Nail Polish Collection!

This nail polish looks as delicate as the name and is full pink shimmer! (this reminds me of Ms Bree's new favorite show Shimmer and Shine)

Don't forget to apply a base coat before applying the color.  There are a couple of reasons why I always recommend base coat before applying any polish but especially a dark color polish: 

a.  It helps the nail from staining when using dark colors. Here is an extra tip, use a "nail hardener" to keep nails healthy and strong, then apply the base coat, and

b. The nail polish tends to last longer when you use a base coat.

As you can see on the picture above, the color is very light after just one coat but you can still appreciate the amount of shimmer.  It will be perfect for any little girl!  

One coat didn't do it for me therefore I applied a two more coats. I really wanted to capture the color of "real cherry blossoms".

This nail polish doesn't require a top coat as it contains a lot of shimmer but I highly recommend it, especially if you want to give your nail and extra glossy look.

*Sigh* the final product!! Isn't it lovely??  I added something new this time, a little applique!

What do you think?  

Remember, you can grab this nail color or any Sinful Color Professional nail polishes at your local store from $1.99- $2.99!

"Savage" By Sinful Colors Profesional

Hey there my beautiful people!! 

Yes, this is another post on our series of "Our Favorite Spring Color Nail Polishes" .   If you missed that post, just click on our "Featured Post" link!

 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm determined to step out of my comfort zone and try new things by adding more bright color items to my wardrobe and also to my nail polish collection. 

If you have not figure it out yet, you probably will soon.... I am a nail polish fanatic and Sinful Colors Professional are by far my favorite line of nail polish.  They are affordable, durable and the long brush makes the application of the polish onto my nails a lot easier.   I purchase most of my nail polishes at my local pharmacy for $1.99.   Sometimes they are on sale for as low as $0.99 (sometimes even less if you use your Walgreens card or RiteAid Discount card) With those low prices, Hubby allows me to indulge in my little habit. 

"Savage" #950

  

After I removed my last nail polish, I filed and buffed my nails then I washed my hands thoroughly.

I always apply a Base Coat before applying my color polish.  The base coat I use is also by Sinful Color Professionals.  

As you can see, this polish gives a "matte" or "opaque" finish.  If you are a lover of a matte finish then no need to apply any more coats! Believe it or not, I acquired this color with only ONE coat.  The more it dries, the more opaque it becomes. 

I decided to apply a second coat because some of my nails didn't have an even finish.  The color didn't change by much after applying a second coat.  It dried pretty quickly and it was very easy to tell once it was completely dried.  

I like my nails to have that glossy finish.  Therefore I used Top Coat by Sinful Colors Professionals.  

I am truly amazed by the quality of these products.  Even if you have to purchase a base coat, color polish and the top coat polish.  You can do it all, for less than $7.00 and  your nails can look beautiful all the time.

Give them a try, you won't regret it... Share your thoughts with us on the comments below! We would love to hear your opinion.
