Leather Loose

Sinful Colors Leather Loose is another one from their leather collection. I do love rubber or matte finish polishes.

Sinful Colors Leather loose is a dark brown/black polish with hidden golden shimmer. It's noticeable while it's matte, but really comes out when it's wet. I will say most matte or rubber finish polishes are not very forgiving to uneven nails. Make sure you use thin coats and let polish dry between coats or you can drag or wipe off polish underneath creating an uneven nail (like my ring finger!).

I tried to snap a quick picture after I had just pained them.  The pinky is dry while the first finger is still wet from a fresh coat. See the sparkle hidden in it? So pretty. I think this is a great matte polish but I actually prefer it with a topcoat.

My Cherry Amour & I Lilac Gumdrops

Old polishes but still very pretty.

I Lilac Gumdrops is on my index and middle finger, while My Cherry Amour is on my ring and pinky finger.

I also used topcoat on the two middle nails to show what they looked like with topcoat. Still gorgeous colors, you don't have to wear them textured.

I did a two finger mani on both hands, reversing the colors on my right hand. It's my usual mani these days. That way I get to wear more than one color at a time.

And a close up of My Cherry Amour, top ring finger with top coat, love this one, it really brings out the glitter when it's smoothed out; and bottom ring finger is plain.

Easy to work with polishes, laid where they were placed, no running, minimal clean up required if any. Shows are three coats of each polish, but that's because that's what I'm used to. Regular basecoat on these, nothing fancy.

Laced Up

Hey friends, long time no see. Work has been killer and I haven't had polish on my nails in months (maybe once or twice recently) and I've even been going no makeup at work, so I haven't had anything interesting to show. Things are starting to slow down so I'm hoping to start posting again. 

On to the goods!

This one is an oldie, and from my longer nail days, but Sinful Colors Laced Up is a great reddish orange rubber polish.  Wore nicely, two days without chipping. No top coat since it's a rubber finish.

And a failed attempt at stamping. I really suck at stamping. I used Julep Brit and an unknown stamp. It does have top coat so you can see how it really brights and pops with some shine on top!

Thanks for looking! Hopefully I'll post a little more than, well, never.
