Sinful Colors Cinderella and Revlon Whimsical are both polishes I've long admired- finally, after searching high and low and waiting patiently for them to show up in stores near me, I broke down and ordered them via eBay. Predictably, I saw them the following week at a local store, but isn't that the way it always goes?
First I applied two coats of Cinderella; it really could have used a third, but I was in a rush and wanted to layer Whimsical overtop anyways. The pink shimmer in this is really gorgeous, albeit subtle.
I think Cinderella makes a nice base for Revlon Whimsical. Whimsical consists of a mixture of metallic pale blue and pink hexagonal glitters and smaller glitter flecks in a pale milky blue jelly. I love how soft and pretty this looks! I've been lemming Whimsical (a dupe of Deborah Lippmann's Glitter In The Air), for a long time, so it was satisfying to finally get this on my nails.
I always associate particular lacquers with notable events that occurred when I was wearing them- in the case of this manicure, I wore it when I went to see my favourite Canadian band play a concert recently. I'll leave you with one of their songs- enjoy!
Did not know Sinful Colors were sold in Canada. I love how Cinderella looks and Whimsical looks great with it! Although Whimsical always reminds me of a baby shower.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is pretty baby shower, isn't it? Can't think of a better way to describe it. :D And I've seen Sinful Colors at London Drugs, as well as Shopper's (I think).
DeleteI love whimsical!

That makes two of us! :D Thank you!
DeleteI have the Lippmann version. Everyone else raves about it, but totally ugly on me! Weird.
ReplyDeleteIt's not for everyone- and it's pretty sheer, so it requires a lot of layers which can be annoying! Better to layer it, maybe.
DeleteThis is such a beautiful layering combo! I have both of these polishes unworn, I need to test them out together!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! They make a good pairing! Would love to see a post about it on your blog. :D
DeleteSuch a pretty combination. I remember how much I wanted Whimsical when it first came out. I'm going to have to try Cinderella with it in the future :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been wanting Whimsical for soooo long. I can't believe it finally arrived in my city after I broke down and ordered it online. :P
Deletevery nice! i want whimsical so badly!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you want me to try to track down another bottle and send it your way! :D
DeleteThis is so pretty,it reminds me that I need to use Whimsical more often.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think it could make a really pretty winter manicure, maybe paired with a white glitter overtop? I should have tried that before I removed this mani!
DeleteI love the glitter polish honey, is really cute! I'm following.
