NOTD! (Drugstore)

Please excuse the crappy application..its late and I'm tired! BUT I am loving this combo! I'm feeling the need to get my last cute summery nail looks in before fall. 

This is a total drugstore look using a Hard Candy polish in "Sweet Tooth" and a Sinful Colors SinfulShine with Gel Tech in "Wisp". I don't particularly like either color on its own, unless I do a few super thick coats and lets face it, ain't no body got time for that! But one thin coat of Wisp underneath a slightly thicker coat of Sweet Tooth is perfect. 

Hard Candy's "Sweet Tooth" is a very sheer, milky white color base with a slight blue tint. The glitters in it are blue, silver, and a pink/lavender. I absolutely love several things about this polish. 

First, I love that the glitters don't clump up when you paint it on like a lot of glitter polishes do. Even though they are pretty large pieces, they sit very well in the base when applied rather than grabbing onto the brush so you're left with a nail of glitterless clear polish. 

I also love the actual base. It is thick enough to leave an "opaque" coat, yet still thin enough to dry quick. The consistency of it also allows the glitter to float in it instead of sinking into it or just laying flat on top. This causes the polish to have a 3d effect, especially after two coats. 

Sinful Colors "Wisp" is a white cream polish from the SinfulShine collection. It is marketed as a "gel-like polish", but I don't find them to last any differently than regular polish. I have a few colors from this line and they are all very pretty colors, but nothing spectacular as far as quality and wear time. 

I do find these polishes perfect for a base coat to any glitter or textured polish. They  are thick enough with one coat to prime the nail, and still thin enough to dry quickly and not have an inch of polish to chisel off. If you do plan to wear them alone, I recommend a good top coat..I do not like the way they look when they dry. I find that they dry to a dull finish, not shiny like they claim to. But hey..you win some, you lose some. 

Over all I give this combo a two thumbs up. As far as the polishes individually, one and a half thumbs up (possible?)..only because I don't like either polish on its own. 

Have a good day tomorrow and check back soon for my next post :)
