Sinful Colors!!

Sinful Colors...just LOVE that brand name.  Makes my obsession sound so exciting and...dare I say it, SINFUL!

Saturday, I went to Walgreen's to pick up some nails and they had SC on sale 2/$3.  Oh yeah, Happy Easter to ME.

I picked up these beauties:

L-R: Pink Forever, Firefly, Mint Apple, Morning Star, Amethyst and Cinderella.

Not a bad haul, huh?

Purple People Eater

Yesterday, Julep posted the picture on the left as the "Nail of the Day" on their facebook page.  I immediately took off the nails I had on and put on a new set to try my own version of it.

I was in a hurry, so it's best that the photo is from a bit of a distance.  ;)

I used Cover Girl Violet Vison as the light base, followed by China Glaze Harmonh in the middle and topped with Sinful Colors Let's Talk for the dark tips.

Marbling?

Just goofin' around today and here's some shots of what I came up with.  I would put what colors I used, but already put them away and can't remember...  It sucks to get old.

The second from the right in the bottom picture is my favorite of the batch.  That one is Finger Paints Pink Imagination as a base (2 coats) and then marbling of China Glaze Vertical Rush and Black Diamond. I'm hoping to duplicate this one on my next mani.  Keep your fingers crossed!

In the top photo, the first one turned out pretty cool as well.  It's a base of Pure Ice Pussy Cat.  Sinful Colors See You Soon and Finger Paints Easel Come, Easel Go and one other (sorry...can't remember - maybe the Black Diamond??) as the marbling.  It's really all trial and error.

Walgreen's For The Win!

This week, Sinful Colors and Wet N Wild nail colors are on sale for $.99!!  (The ones that normally sell for $1.99)

AND, Kiss and Broadway nails are buy one get one 50% off!!

I'm about to burst! 

So Many Colors

Tonight's experiment was pretty darned successful.  It was also time consuming.

I started with a base coat on all nails (Kiss Nails Everlasting French nails) of Finger Paints "Paper Mache".  A white base coat helps the neon colors pop!  Then I used Sinful Colors "Pink", China Glaze "In the Lime Light", China Glaze "Japanese Koi", China Glaze "Celtic Sun", Sinful Colors "Dream On" and Wet N Wild Black.

I used each of the neon colors in random spots on each nail.  After they dried, I used tape to block off sections of each nail and then used the black polish over the tape.  Remove the tape and voila!!

Here's What Was In The Box

Top: A lovely brochure about CND Colors and the Effects line that glams up your color!
Bottom: (l-r) Dark Ruby, Raspberry Plunge, Desert Suede and Crimson Sparkle.



The brochure shows 50 colors and 15 effects options!  And there are 3 levels of effects: Pearls, Shimmers and Sparkles, with Sparkles being the top of the stack for shiny/sparkly goodness!

I will be trying these out soon, so stay tuned.

More "Selling"

Tonight at work, I was pushing the Wet N' Wild products (makeup and nail polish) and Sinful Colors nail polish. 

I did really well!  One lady and her daughter got 7 bottles of Sinful Colors and 2 of Wet N' Wild.  :)

Gabbing

Last night, I was at work (part-time beauty adviser for a chain store) and I was really talking up my favorite brands of fingernails... Broadway Nails and Kiss Nails. 
Broadway Nails

Kiss Nails

I spent probably 30 minutes with one lady telling her what I love about them and that I am a 2011 Ambassador for Broadway.  She was excited to hear that they have a program like that and was going to go home and "like" them both on Facebook.  She bought some Kiss nails to try out and I know she'll be back for more!

I also got to speak to several ladies and girls about "Sinful Colors" nail polish which is a great value and they have some fantastic colors!
