Salmon Mate

Corals. Ugh. That's what I usually say because they don't suit me, ever: in make-up, in clothes, in polishes. Except some very cold shades of coral, only then they don't make my skin look dirty and/or sick, lol. One of such shades is Sinful Colours Soul Mate: 

Soul Mate is a soft dusty pink coral shade, quite whitened and with a cold undertone. Complex description of a complex colour, hehe :)

The formula is great, very opaque yet not goopy, the application is nice - except one thing: the brush. It's just sooo harsh that it leaves the furrows on the surface. Either I will have to change the brush, or to try to work in easy quick strokes barely touching the surface. I wonder if it's the problem of all Sinful Colors?

Oh, well, I couldn't but stamp it :) So I took the Bundle Monster BM-306 plate and white Konad polish and stamped some flowers over the salmon.

I'm not really satisfied with how the white polish transferred, but noone is perfect :) I don't know if it was the problem of the plate or of my stamping skills.

Do you have any Sinful Colors? What do you like in them? :)

Golden Soul Mate

Still struggling to understand my attitude to coral pinks. To be more precise - the degree of awfullness of their combination with my skin tone. After my experiments with Rose Bowl (warning: sit down before you click the link) I haven't painted my nails with coral shades for a year. Now, the spirit of experimentation woke up inside me again and I decided to wear Sinful Colors Soul Mate while my hands are white and not yet touched by the sun tan.

Just like the first time (careful, OLD SCARY swatches) when I wore it, I have mixed feelings: it looks better than I expected, especially outside, but I still realise it's not the best shade for my skin tone. The polish itself is pretty nice: thick and opaque. The brush is a mess though. After wearing it solo for a day, I spiced it up with noname gold shimmer:

Conclusion: I like such shades. And I won't stop wearing them just because I think it works not so perfect with my skin. Like my father used to say (stuffing me with strawberries when I was like 5 and had diathesis), "if you know you shouldn't, but you want immensely - do it". So I will : )

Quick Peach

Just a quick post today. Nothing special, no sophisticated designs, just another spring colour and a decal. Quite simplistic.

And under artificial light (more orange):

Somehow I thought peach cremes wouldn't suit my skin tone, but I was partly mistaken - it looks pretty good, especially outdoors or under the sun. I can't wait till summer though, on tanned skin it would look even better. 

The polish used is Sinful Colors Soul Mate, I got it from Cherry Culture together with Milanis to try out the brand. And I must say I'm quite satisfied: easy application in 2 coats, but already very opaque in one and pretty fast drying time. So if you have the chance to grab some Sinful polishes - do that, you probably won't regret :)
