Sinful Colors Swatch-A-Thon 2015 Collection *Pic Heavy*

Good morning peeps, how are thee? It's Tuesday already and I am NOT complaining. I do hope that no one complains about this post being pic heavy (because I forewarned you in the title lol). I just had it in my mind that I wanted to make a post of the recent Sinful Colors polishes that I didn't swatch. If you follow me on IG (@Nailmattic) you would have seen that I posted pics of the polish spottings of these Sinful Colors collections released last month. I've done a swatch of the ones I picked up. These are all applied in 3 coats and without a top coat. 

This is Ring The Belini.



This is Horizon Shine 



This is Standing Bloom Only


This is Petal Be The Day

This is Pink Smart


This is Skylark



This is Pistache



So now that you've seen them all, which colors do you like?

Spring Love Water Marble

Hey y'all what's good?

Now while I know and you all know that we are not in the Spring season yet, I felt the need to do a spring colored water marble mani. 

I call this Spring Love.

I used Bettina polishes for this mani.

Lo'real Blooming In Color Garden Bouquet

Hey everyone what's up? My week is just so blah I'm feeling a little under the weather but I have been taking some medicine with Echinacea in it so today I'm feeling much much better.

I have on my nails two new polishes from the Lo'real "Blooming In Color" collection, I spotted these in my Walgreens on Monday this collection consists of 6 creme polishes and 1 glitter flower polish, beautiful spring colors. 

The formula is workable, I found that the first coat is a little streaky but it redeems itself with the second and third coat.

The coral colored one is called "Sweet Nectar" & the flower glitter polish is called "Garden Bouquet". The brush pick up on the glitter polish works very well I picked up a lot on the first try.

Poparazzi Call Me a Cab

HAPPY FRIDAY Y'all!!

So I decided to see what's the word on this new Poparazzi brand sold at CVS in place of Spoiled polishes and I can't say that I have been "won over" on these! It has a strong cheap smell like cheap $1 polishes and applies streaky at first and I found it takes a little long to dry even though I used my favorite fast dry top coat by Brucci. 

Even after 10 minutes waiting time it still left fingerprint imprint on the polish. Idk maybe I got a bad formula bottle? This is Call Me a Cab. The color is pretty and applied with a top coat it spruced up but I don't like the performance of this bottle I got. So who do you blame, me or the brand lol?

You can find these at your local CVS for $2.99.

Fingerpaints Endless Wear polishes

Hey everyone, happy Friday eve lol.

Today I will share will you swatches of the new Fingerpaints Endless Wear polishes. These new polish formula should mimic a gel like finish, it's suppose to shine and last longer than their regular polish.

I have applied both colors in two coats without a top coat. The formula is semi-thick but it applies smoothly and doesn't lay with streaks. I love how the finish is shiny giving off a top coat appearance.

This is San Franfresco 


This is Be Still My Beatnik He-Art (weird name right).


Right now Sally's Beauty Supply is having a BOGOF promotion for these this month so pick your colors wisely lol.
