SinfulColors Rise and Shine

Polishes Used:

1 Coat Beauty Secrets Ridge Filler
1 Coat Wet n Wild Sugar Coat
3 Coats SinfulColors Rise and Shine
1 Coat Confetti Clear Coat
1 Coat Seche Vite

Rise and Shine is part of SinfulColors' Core Collection. If it's not a part of your collection... I highly recommend picking it up. No stash is complete without a pretty teal polish, among other things! One thing to mention upfront, I did paint on Sugar Coat as undies for this polish. I'm not sure if Rise and Shine will stain my nails, but I'd rather not have teal-tinged digits if I can help it, thankyouverymuch!

SinfulColors is really big on adding shimmer to their shades for a little added interest. ~~Probably~~ Definitely one of the reasons I have so many bottles of their polish! Rise and Shine is no different... it's a bright mid-toned teal with a slightly more blue-leaning teal shimmer mixed in. In my pictures, it shows up as a blue haze, but it's a fine shimmer in person, trust me!

Capturing the exact shade of Rise and Shine was difficult, and I still didn't get it quite right. My Cybershot wanted to mute out most of the green, so I turned to my iPhone... aaaaaand my 5s couldn't really get it right either. It didn't include all the blue and made this shade a lot brighter than it is in real life. All in all, Rise and Shine is a pretty and wearable teal shade that doesn't feel seasonal or dated.

What's your favorite teal polish?

SinfulColors Mauve On Seriotype

Whether you call it a seriotype or smooshy... (I prefer seriotype) there is just something about this style of manicure that I can't get enough of.

It's been a little while, hasn't it? Sorry about that. Life happens, you know? Oddly enough, I didn't stop painting my nails during my hiatus. I kept taking pictures for a while, and then that just sort of stopped to. Weird how some habits die hard, while others don't change a bit. Anyhoo... I found pictures of this mani in my files and couldn't believe I didn't share it! This was one of my favorite polishes last spring, and I recreated this exact seriotype/ a few times. This mani started out with 3 fresh coats of Mauve On. I typically wrap my tips on the 2nd c

Fishbowl Friday 073 // Recreation

Every now and then, I enjoy looking back over past manicures. Creatively, it's just neat to see how far I've come since the days I started. Oddly enough, when I chose this prompt, I knew exactly which manicure I wanted to recreate. Based loosely on Fishbowl Friday 027 , today's seriotype nails are a RECREATION ...

One of the things that took me a while to master was the balance of nail polish finishes. While seriotypes made exclusively with creme polishes look cool, those made with a combination of different finishes really pop. There's more depth involved when you layer a metallic over a jelly neon and

Fishbowl Friday 072 // Hard Candy

We're going to skip that whole part where we talk about how it's been a while, because well, it's been a really long while. I'm still trying to work out how to make room for blogging and juggle everything else, and it's definitely been a challenge. But know that I am working on it, and I do really, really miss it. This place has been my Quantum of Solace for a long time, and I'm not planning on letting it go anytime soon. That being said... for this week's prompt, I was happily surprised when I pulled HARD CANDY . This is probably one of the most iconic brands of nail polish, and it's certainly gone through it's own number of changes throughout the years. Who didn't want to own a bottle of Sky once they saw it on Alicia Silverstone's nails way back in the 90's? Last year, Hard Candy celebrated their 20th anniversary by bringing back some of their most iconic shades. The collection was a mix of five original shades and three new ones.
