I LOVE matte polishes, rubber polishes, suede polishes, etc which I find ironic since I'm so in love with glitter.
Anyway.
I put this baby on right away and behold it's matte-ness!

O_o
Umm. Didn't it say matte?
Yep, it did. Let's look again, maybe it was the lighting...

Nope, not the lighting. Sigh.
Either way, Sinful Colors Nirvana is a medium chocolate brown. Neutral, nice for work or "underwear" for a fun glitter. It's a pretty color, just not what I was expecting. Surprisingly, it fit a tiny unfilled hole in my brown colors, so that was nice.
But just for ... grins ... let's look at it mattified. I used Butter London Matte Finish Top Coat, which I purchased at a STEAL on Coterie (three polishes + matte top coat for $15).

Have you tried any Sinful Colors Matte colors and been disappointed? Or was that matte referring to something else and I'm just being silly?
Wow! It's gorgeous when you add the matte topcoat!
ReplyDeleteI have one or two matte polishes from sinful colours and they are pretty gorgeous I have to day. Funnily enough they don't have matte written on the bottom of them :P
ReplyDeleteLook good after matted-fied
ReplyDeleteGorgeous but I really wish it was matte. Lol you made me laugh though :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so weird, my bottle of Nirvana doesn't say Matte above it! I just went and looked too!! When I used it though it totally was shiny like yours. There are two sinful polishes that I know of which dry matte but dont say it on the label...I think it's Cream Pink and then Savage. My neighbor has Savage, i hated the formula and never bought it for myself and it stains like woah. Anyways, I'm rambling. I love my bottle of Nirvana. It wasn't like any other browns I have, and it looks really nice matte.
ReplyDeleteThat is odd, definitely not matte. Nirvana has always been one of those Sinful Colors polishes that I pick up and hold for a couple of minutes, but don't end up buying. It is a pretty neutral though.
ReplyDeleteReally nice color! Looks great with the top coat.
ReplyDeleteWeird about it being supposedly "matte". I wonder what that was all about? ):
i bought the same one a few months ago even though i already owned the original version of nirvana , had the same reaction you did lol , i dont think sinful colors actually labels their matte polishes but there are a few that have a matte finish like dream on , savage and rise and shine, my favorite being rise an shine since savage tends to stain and dream on chips fairly quick
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I have not seen any SC mattes but we don't get many of that line where I live (sad face) - we get maybe 2 or 3 display collections/yr and then a smattering of always picked over colors in an ongoing racked collection. Personally I like very few mattes. I am enamored with the old OPI Suedes however - but usually on day 2 I will put a clear topper over them so I can see all the goodies that are in them.
ReplyDeleteI heard they're a little inconsistent about finishes. My bottle of Rise and Shine dries semi-matte but a lot of people say it's not! Super weird. Colour still looks awesome, and you can always topcoat it, right?
ReplyDeleteI like shiny only! :)
ReplyDeleteI only like shiny, lol!
ReplyDeleteI like this gorgeous chocolaty color! It is beautiful shiny and matte. I haven't tried any of their mattes... Maybe the company just doesn't know what matte is and screwed up? I have no idea, but that is definitely not a matte on its own! =P
ReplyDeleteI really like this brown polish, Sinful Colors in Nirvana!
ReplyDeleteFine!
