Sinful Colors ~ Sugar
Sugar
Candy cane red
with shimmer
There are lots
of brands you can’t buy in my part of the world – so I am very grateful for
internet shopping. I bought this red polish from Sinful Colors
online, and even with the price being doubled because of the postage, it’s
still cheap compared to how much a good nail polish costs here.
Sugar Sugar is from the Holiday
2011 Wish collection and it’s a gorgeous shimmery red. It isn’t quite as
shimmery as the bottle implies though, but I don’t have a problem with that. I
have my own ways of adding bling to a mani!
The formula was good and easy to work with. I was pleasantly
satisfied with how it looked after two coats.
Moving on to the bling!
I chose a silver glitter from B. O. called 71. The silver
bits are in various sizes, so I was curious to find out how much fishing I
would have to do to get the big chunks moving.
As it happens, they came out pretty easily. The problem
was actually to get them to leave the brush. There was a lot of pushing around
with the brush before they actually ended on the nail. That could quite easily have
been annoying.
Here’s how it ended up looking, with a layer of Poshé
top coat:
I’ll definitely recommend a layer of top coat between
the base colour and the silver chunks, to protect the colour from the pushing
around and smearing with the brush.
What do you think? Is it a winner or not? Do you like
silver on red?

DeleteRøv Danmark altså! Super flot design du har lavet, især med glimmer :)
ReplyDeleteBTW: Min mor har lige sagt, at hun måske skal til Berlin i næste måned... Argggg hyperventilerede næsten... Essence!! :)
Jeg er også ved at være lidt træt af, at alting koster en halv bondegård, og så kan man alligevel ikke få alt det lækre!! :/
DeleteYay til at få lakker med hjem fra Berlin. Du er møgheldig! :)
