Sinful Colors Cinderella + Revlon Whimsical

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!

  1. 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.

    1. Thanks! 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).

  2. I have the Lippmann version. Everyone else raves about it, but totally ugly on me! Weird.

    1. It'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.

    1. Thanks! 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!
