Sinful Colors ~ Folly
Dark pink crème
It’s time to play a little
bit with layering. I don’t wear pink very often, but I got this polish in a
blog sale, so I wanted to play around a bit.
Application was easy, I
really like Sinful Colors’ formulas. It spreads out evenly and it covers
perfectly in two coats.
It was hard to catch the colour on cam though, but this is as close to the real colour it gets.

Then it was flakie time! I
own two Essie polishes, and “Shine of the Times” is one of them. The flakies
spread out evenly without much of an effort, and drying time was great. I think
I’m going to use this flakie quite a lot.
Unfortunately it made the
mani go coral…
… and I am so not into coral
colours. So I looked in my stash and found a red glitter from L. A. Girl
Glitter Addict called “Animate”, and I thought “Why the heck not…?”
So I applied a coat of that,
and then it was more like it. There’s nothing but a good glitter to rescue a f*cked up mani! :D
Here’s how that looked:
It may not look that
different to the first one, but it was. The coral tone was gone, and it was
more a mix between red and orange. Here it is from another angle, to show the
glitter:
And here’s a pic of the
polishes I used:
I post all my experiments here, good or bad. I promise to post something really pretty tomorrow! :)

Folly looks very pretty! Love the layering, too, even though it turned coral :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a surprise to me that a pink would turn coral - so I guess I learned that lesson now :)
Deletei love this! i actually like how it made it coral :)
ReplyDeleteOh cool! Coral can be alright, it just doesn't look very good with my skin tone. :)
DeleteAnimate is a very interesting glitter, I love the finish..!
ReplyDeleteAnimate is a must have for glitter fans that love the colour red. L A Girl is a great brand, I love it!
DeleteThe red glitters really saved the mani. I like the end result. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I actually thought that I was going to end up with 10 layers of polish before I was satisfied :D
DeleteSuper pretty, I like both the coral shade and the pink shade. :)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! I am pleased to that that :)
DeleteThe last glitter is really shimmery! Oh I Like!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous layering.
Thank you so much. I love my red glitter! :)
DeleteI'm not against coral colors, but with Animate on top I like your mani more! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think the glitter did wonders for this mani. I must admit that I was happy when it was time to change the mani though :D
DeleteThank you! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun combination!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's different, and I like different, for some reason :)
DeleteI like them all! I'm not a fan of pink, but for some reason I really like that shade of pink. Maybe because it's bright and not baby-girl pink? Anyway, they all look nice on you!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of baby-pink either. It can look just fine on others, but it looks really odd on me. :) And thanks - I appreciate it!
DeleteFolly is gorgeous!! ^.^
ReplyDeleteThank you, I think so too :)
DeleteVirkelig flot farve!
ReplyDeleteTak! :)
