Sinful Colors Nail Junkie & Rise and Shine

Hello everyone! Did you have an excellent weekend? I had an extra day off yesterday so it feels like Monday! Up for swatch today is Sinful Colors Nail Junkie and Rise and Shine. I love Sinful Colors! It is such a great budget brand. The formula is for the most part excellent (there are a few dudes here and there) and the price can't be beat (retail for $2, but are usually on sale for a $1). There's also a great array of colors and they're always coming out with new collections! Today's colors are part of their permanent collection and they're both beautiful, together and separately.

Rise and Shine is a beautiful green creme with shimmery flakes. Nail Junkie (which I am!) is a glitter topper in a blue base. The blue base really doesn't show up unless you wanted to layer this a thousand times. My bottle of Nail Junkie was a little thick, but I've also had it for a few years. This extra thickness did lead to some pulling and wrinkling. In these photos I used 2 coats of Rise and Shine and  1 coat of Nail Junkie. I topped it all off with Glisten & Glow's HK Girl.

I decided to model today's swatch with a Kingdom Hearts Donald Duck bottle topper that I picked up last year when I was in Tokyo. It's from the Little Mermaid level, so Donald Duck is actually an octopus! These colors gave me an underwater feel, so I thought that octopus Donald Duck fit the bill!

Sinful Colors can be bought at Walgreens and Rite Aid for $2 a bottle. However, as mentioned, there are plenty of sales throughout the year that bring these babies down to a $1. These are perfect if you're starting out your collection or if you need specific colors for a low price!
