Where Is The Party?

Happy Thursday! My Spring break is more than half way done - how I dread thinking about that.

Anywho, can someone tell me where the party is at?

Well, it's definitely in this tiny bottle of polish. So today I have this beautiful swatch for you. I picked this up at Ulta last night since I was in the area. Usually there is a $3.50 coupon so I wanted to wait for that because I forgot to bring it. But I decided to pick this up because it was only $.99! Who can go wrong with that? It's such a beautiful color.

I love it! Please excuse the bubbles and poor painting, hope you don't mind. Oh and the many pictures but I really wanted you see the beautiful duochrome. Where Is The Party? is a beautiful deep purple with a green'ish/grey duochrome. Even my husband commented on this polish! He said it was really cool and reminds him of a chameleon. It must be pretty cool because he rarely ever comments on my manicure. 

I used 2 coats since 1 coat was just a little bit too sheer for me. I was actually surprised when I began the application. The brush isn't too shabby. I would say it's pretty nice for a $.99 polish. I honestly prefer the Essence brushes over Essie. The formula was ok. It was a little thick which made the application a little hard. At the tips of my nail when I brushed it out, it curled up and went the opposite direction. I'm not sure how to explain that but it was weird. Anywho, I hope you enjoyed this!

What do you think about this duochrome? Yay or nay?

Swatch Sinful Colors Pandora

Hello hello good weekend! I wish tomorrow was Saturday again.

Today, I have got a beautiful swatch for you to see! I just recently purchased a few polishes from the Sinful Colors Castaway collection and today's swatch is Pandora.

This is a tiny bit more color accurate.

Pandora is such a beautiful color it's sort of an orange almost rusty sort of color. It's so hard to describe.  It also has a very subtle sheen shimmer. Hopefully you are able to see that above. I am really enjoying this color. It's such a pretty pop of color for a grey rainy and snowy day - that's the way it's been here lately where I live. The only problem I have with this is the formula and application.

Can you see? The index finger? To the right it's sort of piled up. If I pushed/brushed it out anymore, it would have flooded my cuticles. And I absolutely could not have that. My thumb was even worse. When I applied the top coat. it literally pulled the not-so-dried polish area to the tips of my nail and ruined it entirely. So I had to repaint it. Besides the horrible application, it's a beautiful color! 

Do you have the same problem with the Sinful Colors?
