Review and Collection: Sinful Nail Polishes

Hello everyone! I have been talking about writing this blog post since the summer and I am finally doing it! Here is my review* and also collection of Sinful  Colors nail polishes. Over the summer I picked up and tried this brand for the first time. You can find these polishes at most drugstores and stores like Target and Walmart. I think they retail for around $1.99. I ended up really liking these polishes and I now have a collection of 8! I am sure it will grow in the future.

I like these polishes because:

•  How affordable they are.  You can't beat $2 for a nail polish. I only have a few higher end polishes. Not only because I am on a limited budget but you can find some drugstore polishes that are just as great as the higher end ones and cost so much less.


•  They apply very nice. I have never had any problems with applications. I  usually do two coats and I am good to go. I don't really know exactly how long it takes for them to dry since I usually give my nails extra time to dry because I get so annoyed  when I do my nails and then mess it up right away.


•  They are long lasting. I do use a top coat over them as I do with all my polishes now. Over the summer I had two colors that I wore constantly and I could go days with little to no chipping especially if I kept my nails short as I usually do.


• There is a wide variety of colors. Keep in mid though that some stores have more than others, like my Rite Aid carries more colors than my Target. So if you are looking for a particular color you may have to check out a few stores to find it.

My collection:





The colors I have are (starting at the top row left) 369 Ruby Ruby, 5162 Seaweed, 101 Snow Me white, 2 Black On Black, (second row bottom left) 921 All About You, 62 Purple Diamond, 947 Mint Apple, 952 Hazard.

Here are some of my past posts using Sinful Colors polishes:

• Mint Apple


• Hazard


• Ruby Ruby

and my latest nail post, the black polish I use under the glitter polish is a Sinful Colors nail polish:

• Black on Black

A few of them I have yet to use.

In closing I will say that I definitely recommend these if your looking for a good inexpensive nail polish.

Till next time. :)

Nails: Black On Black & Party Of Five Glitters

Hello all! Last night I finally decided to do my nails. I had on my previous polish for about two weeks (I just touched it up on week two). I had picked up another new Wet n Wild polish when I had picked up the one from my previous nail post.The polish I got is one of their fast dry ones and it is a really pretty sparkly polish called (238C) Party of Five Glitters (I think it was around $2/$3). I didn't want to just use the glitter polish though. I wanted to have a base color under. All week I had been debating what color would would go with this glitter polish, out of the colors I already own. I finally ended up going with black (inspired by this blog post).

Now I don't think I have ever worn black nail polish before. I don't know why but it kinda scares me. Maybe because it can be very intense. So I figured putting the glitter on top would help lighten it up. I bought black nail polish because I figured it would be a good basic color to have in my collection. I used Sinful Colors in (2) Black On Black. Then I used the Party Of Five Glitters polish on top after that dried. I wanted a lot of glitter so I had to go over each nail a few times. When that dried (or at least I had though it did) I used my Sally Hansen Strengthening Top Coat.

The problem I ran into was that it took a super long time for it to dry. I guess because I had so much polish on???? The glitter polish did not seem fast dry in my opinion. But then again I did like 3 coats on each nail so I would get extra glitter. I have to try out the glitter polish again before I make any final conclusions on it. A couple of my nails got  a little messed up from not being completely dry and me hitting them on something ( so frustrating!) but in the end it ended up being barley noticeable.



What do you think of this nail look?

Till next time. :)

My new guilty pleasure: Gossip Girl

Hello all! I know I seriously slacked on blog posts last month. I had high hopes for the month of October and it just didn't turn out the way I had planed. But its a new month so I am happy to start fresh.

Before I get to this post I just want to mention hurricane Sandy. I live in the area ( the northeast) that was affected. I was very fortunate where I live. The only thing I have had to deal with because of the storm is loss of a paycheck this week because where I work has not had power. I have been following the news  and know how much worse it has been for so many people. I just want to say my thoughts are with all the people and families affected.

So since I have been out of work and home all week I basically had a Gossip Girl marathon. I had started watching this show earlier in the month on Netflix. Over this past week I have completely caught up to the current season (which I am sad to find out is its last :( ).  I love this show! I don't know why I didn't start watching it sooner. Especially since I used to read the books when I was younger.

Here is a random list of my thoughts on the show:

• My favorite characters: Dan aka lonely boy, some of the funniest scenes involve his character. For example, when he was a cater waiter at Eleanor Waldorf 's and he had to pretend he was there as Serena's date. Also in the opening episode of this season when him and Georgina take the road trip to find Serena. Plus Penn Badgley is hot! Chuck, everyone loves a bad boy enough said. I will add however that I like how they have showed how his character has matured over the years. The same can be said for another one of my favorite characters Blair. I didn't like her character that much in the early seasons but she has changed while still keeping enough of her old self to keep things interesting. Blair's housekeeper Dorota, who also provides many comical moments. Georgina, who I hated in the first season, is now a character I can't see the show without. She doesn't hide the fact she likes to scheme and mess with people and I like that.


• My least favorite characters: Jenny, in the first season you kinda feel sorry for Jenny, Blair is pretty awful to her after all. But as the seasons continue I don't feel sorry for her anymore, I just find her annoying and mean. I was not that sad to see her leave the series. Another character that has left and I don't particularly miss is Vanessa. I feel like she never quite fit in, but then again I guess that was the point of her character. Ivy and her whole story line I was never a fan of. I understand they needed to replace Jenny and Vanessa and bring in another character since they left the show. In the current season it kinda weirds me out that she is hooking up with Dan's dad.


• I love the fashion! I love the edginess of Serena's wardrobe and the contrast of that to Blair's classic style. I really wanna dress up like Blair for a costume party. I wish I had some of her gorgeous dresses in my closet.


• Blair and Chuck as a couple. I have been rooting for Blair and Chuck as a couple since the first season. As much as I liked Blair with Dan, Chuck is her soul mate. Something always seems to get in the way though of them being together. They better end the series with them being together (its like Ross and Rachel from Friends its just meant to be).


• Gossip Girl herself. I like the added narration of the show by Gossip Girl. I really hope they do the big reveal on who Gossip Girl is before the series ends. I think everyone will be upset if they don't.

Do you watch this show? If so what are your thoughts? Leave me a comment below or talk to me on Twitter: @inthemomentt12. I would love to talk Gossip Girl with anyone.

Till next time. :)

XOXO,

Amber :D ( I had to)

P.S. I forgot to mention how awesome it was that Gabe from Cobra Starship had a cameo in the last episode of season 5!
