Sinful Colors Mint Apple (and a confession)

I ventured out into the snow and ice today because I was going stir crazy. The whole family has been stuck in the house this week due to school and work closings, and frankly, we're sick of looking at each other.

So off I went to Walgreens to see what kind of nail polish shenanigans I could get into lol. My Walgreens had all of their Borghese polishes on clearance for $2.79, but the shelf had been picked clean. I got a pretty pink one that I will post about later. I didn't see much else so I ventured over to the Sinful Colors display.

Confession: I can be a polish snob at times. I started out buying drugstore polishes, but as I got deeper into the nail polish world, reading blogs and posting on Makeup Alley, I learned about online retailers and salon polishes and that was all she wrote.

Every now and again, I see a drugstore polish that intrigues me, but for the most part, I rarely buy them. I have a few, but not as many as I should. Clearly, I've been missing out.

So anyway, I went by the Sinful display and I saw several that I liked. I didn't want to go crazy, so I only picked one. Mint Apple. It's a winner. It's mint green with silver shimmer, and it's gorgeous.

Three coats, no topcoat.








Outdoors. I did a quick swatch in the parking lot lol. I wanted to get some pictures in the sunlight.



Isn't it pretty? The formula was ok. It was a little streaky, but it wasn't too bad. I needed three coats because I had some cuticle drag (you can see it in those last pics).

This is only my third or fourth Sinful, but it definitely won't be my last. I saw some that I must have.

Anyone else want to confess to being a current or former polish snob?

Happy painting!
