Sinful Colors - Innocent

Hello everyone!

If you follow me on Instagram, I said that my internet was being really dumb, but now it's back on! I'm hoping that it doesn't cut off again, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed lol.

I have a swatch of Sinful Colors Innocent for you all today. I wanted a bright color to cheer me up since I've kind of been down lately. This color definitely cheered me up, especially with my new nail shape. My nails are round again! I forgot how much they look good rounded. But anyways, onto the swatches!

Sinful Colors Innocent is a lime green polish. In some lights, it looks like a yellowish green. This is two coats with a top coat. I received this polish as a gift, but Sinful Color polishes run for $1.99 at various stores.

I really had no problems with the application and formula. I did use two coats of base coat instead of one because it is a green polish, and green polishes are known to usually stain nails. Other than that, this was easy to work with.

I actually really love the color of this polish. I usually don't like to use greens except for nail art, but I love it on my nails. This polish might be on my top 10 list of my Sinful Colors polishes.

I really wanted to do some nail art, so I did some simple stripes down the middle of my nail using Sinful Colors Endless Blue. With a detail brush, I outlined the blue stripes with white acrylic pant. Finally, I sealed my design with a top coat.

This was such a simple design to do. I wanted to add more inside the blue stripe, but my design didn't look good lol. I'll settle with this for now though. It reminds me of football for some reason though. Is this a team's colors by any chance? 

Overall, I'm loving Innocent. It's so easy to work with and it looks great by itself or in nail art! I would recommend buying this polish for your collection if you're looking for an inexpensive lime green.

What do you think of this polish? 

Thanks for reading!

31DC2013 Day 4: Green Nails

Hello everyone!

It's day four and it's green nails today! I wasn't feeling too well today, so I apologize for the late post. I originally wasn't going to post today, but I really wanted to do my nails though. For some reason, I always come up with my designs at night. Maybe it's because I'm usually up anyways haha.

For my green nails, I did a ruffian manicure. I've actually never done this design before, but I was surprised at how easy it is to do. Luckily for me, I have more green polish than the last two days with orange and yellow, so I could be a little more creative with the colors. 

Green isn't my favorite either, but it's not that bad. It's funny how this challenge has made me realize what colors I do and don't have in my collection and what I might need to add more of. Anyways, let's get to the design!

Colors Used: 
Sinful Colors Pistache
Sinful Colors Rise and Shine (Matte)

For the ruffian, I first started off with Sinful Colors Pistache as the base color. Then, I used Sinful Colors Rise and Shine and placed a dot of polish a little above the cuticle, but not too far as I wanted the lighter green to show under the nail. Next, I filled in the rest of the space with the polish. One thing that I did was curve the brush so I could still get both sides of the nail. Finally, I sealed my design with a top coat. 

If you make any mistakes, you can use a detail brush and go over with the base color to make it more curved. It's a pretty simple design and I'll definitely be trying this again with different colors in he future!

What do you think of this design? Anyone else doing the 31 Day Challenge? Tomorrow is blue nails!

Until next time!
