Sinful Colors Hot Flash Metallics Collection: Moss Have



Sinful Colors: Moss Have (2 coats)

Eww. Yup, I said it. I don't think Moss Have from Sinful Colors looks good on me, and boy is it full of frost. I tried to be as careful as possible with the brush strokes, but it still looks a mess. I knew it reminded me another polish, and I just thought of it: China Glaze Cherish from the Romantique collection. If you're really into mint green frosty polishes, this one is for you.

Sinful Colors in Slate



Sinful Colors: Slate (2 coats)

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but yesterday was my 5-year wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband! 

I finally watched the Project Runway finale and I am so happy Demitry won! The last few seasons I've been extremely disappointed in the winner, so I was relieved I finally liked one. I was really surprised on how bad Christopher's collection was though. Any thoughts on the finale? 

I still have a backlog of Sinful Colors polishes from their Walgreen sales so I figured I should start posting a few. Up first is Slate which is a beautiful medium grey shimmer. I think this one is a perfect neutral color that would be great for any collection. The application was ok; not great or terrible, but that's ok for a $1.99 polish.

Essence Colour & Go: Gorgeous Bling Bling



Essence Gorgeous Bling Bling (2 coats)

Oh man, I have jet lag. I keep waking up at 4 in the morning and can't get back to sleep. It's now 1:43 PM and I am exhausted. Must. keep. working.

Essence has a new color out called Gorgeous Bling Bling (seriously, could this name get any worse?) which is a burnt orange/brick color with gold flakes. It is quite the fall color, but I don't feel like the color looks great on me. Still, for $2, I think it's well worth it. The new brush isn't my favorite, but I guess I'll just have to get used to it. 

I'm BAAAAACCCKKKK!

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that I am officially back from Cambodia. The trip went well, despite some hiccups that always come up when working abroad. I hope you all had a great Halloween! I spent the day mostly catching up on sleep. Anyway, I hope to be back to blogging ASAP (as in later today)!
