Review: Sinful Colors Cold as Ice & Holiday Rebel (swatches to come, hopefully!)

  Hey guys! My Wal-Greens recently received the Holiday 2013 Decorate Decadently end cap, so of course, I had to haul a couple. My budget would only allow two at the time, but I will definitely be going back for more! There were so many pretty metallics and glitters- there's even some feather glitters for those interested! One that caught my eye was a rose gold glitter called Full Spectrum that was so pretty but I decided to pick two of the more versatile colors for now- Cold as Ice & Holiday Rebel.



  First up is Cold as Ice, a white matte "feather" bar glitter. I chose this glitter because it's an affordable way to try out the "feather" glitter trend, and I could use it over multiple colors and play around with placement for various effects. The clear base is on the thicker side, but it's nothing that can't be worked with. The thicker base is nice for applying the glitters, although I had to do a little placement with the brush. As the dry time is a little slower, I don't think it would be a good idea to try to build this up to full coverage. However, a fast-drying top coat will help with the dry time. I liked the way this looked layered, but it wasn't my favorite. I'm still not 100% sold on the feather finish!


  Lastly, is Holiday Rebel.


   This glitter just screams Christmas in a bottle! Holiday Rebel is small green hex glitter and red and silver holo hex glitters suspended in a clear base. The base is typical for a glitter polish, a little on the thicker side, but if you work with it for an extended period of time, the base will thicken up to an almost unworkable state. I used this recently for a gradient and I had to wait in between nails because it became so thick. The coverage is nice and if you really wanted to, you could build it up to full coverage but I think it looks nice just being layered ^^ This is definitely an incredible glitter for an incredible price that is perfect for those who want an easy Christmas mani.

Blog Update PLEASE READ

Hello everyone!
Recently, in all of the holiday commotion, I have misplaced my trusty backup camera. Now, both the charger for my new camera and my backup camera are missing. Unfortunately this means that I am currently unable to post high quality pictures which means I will not be blogging at a regular rate, as if I was to begin with. I prefer not to upload blog posts with low quality pictures as this is one of my pet peeves, so unless I can figure out something to "make-do" with blog posts will be scarce. Thank you for understanding <3
