Good morning everyone! I have two glitter polishes from Sinful Colors to show you today: Star Studded and Flake Out. Both are for the “holiday” season but I don’t really pay attention to that jazz.
First I’d like to show you the polish I started with before I applied Flake Out; this is Sail La Vie. It’s been awhile since I swatched this polish for the blog – it’s still a beauty though. This is 2 coats of Sail La Vie.
Flake Out is a shimmery sheer base nail polish with blue hexes and iridescent silver snowflakes. I used 1 coat over Sail La Vie, and let me tell you, getting any sort of glitters onto my nails was the biggest pain in the patella EVAH! No bueno.
Star Studded is a golden shimmery base with silver hexes and silver stars. The application on this was *much* better, it didn’t require near as much fishing as Flake Out – most of those stars you see on the nail came out with the brush! LOL. This is 1 coat over Sinful Colors Black on Black (2 coats of that!).
This is sometimes what frustrates me about SinfulColors – they have such unique polishes but their formula can kinda stink. But when it comes together, boy oh boy, it comes together beautifully!
What about you, do you like to wear seasonally appropriate colors or do you wear whatever, whenever?
Sinful Color, I know, right?
It just sucks cause they could be so much more popular if they just got it together and did it right. I have this gorgeous orange fleck polish and it is annoying to work with, but looks gorgeous. So you avoid it, due to all the hassle, so you miss out on the looks you could have done, if it was just right.
Exactly! You totally hit the nail on the head. 🙂
That blue is lovely and the holiday glitters are fun too.
This blue is lovely. I love wearing what I want not depending the season ^^ Lovely swatches 🙂
Bummer about the first glitter tipper and the formula, it could have been something so pretty!
I love the second one, its perfect for New Years. Its a bummer about the blue one, its gorgeous in the bottle
Flake out is fun, too bad about the formula!
I tend to wear whatever I feel like seasonally, but I can’t help getting into the spirit of holidays like Christmas because they make for such great nail art!
I am really bummed that I haven’t been able to find these yet they all look so pretty. Sinful is one of my favorite brands to shop for holiday season.
I have been having trouble lately with finding drugstore collections lately. Boooo
Bummer you couldn’t get much of the glitter out on flake out but I’m loving star studded
It’s great!
I bought both, thought I had better luck when swatching Flake Out…other than yeah gotta work for the snowflakes. I’ll use a sponge when it is time to wear this one. I actually pulled out my Sinful Colors collection recently, really some great polishes, especially for the price!
I’m definitely going to try the sponging method next time. I really do love SinfulColors though they take a bit of work.
your pics are beautiful here!
Sail la Vie is such a great periwinkle!
Star Studded is a really interesting polish! It’s so cool looking!
Sail la vie is perfection, lol! I am a bit disappointed in Flake Out, but Star Studded is a total winner!
I’m not normally a fan of Sinful glitters but you make this look great!
I love SC! Pretty shades!
