NOTD: Sinful Colors Cinderella & Mint Apple

Probably for about the last month or so I've see so many nail blogs, posts and pictures about Sinful Colors Cinderella. After seeing it for the millionth time I finally had to get to the drugstore and see if I could find it. Honestly, I thought it was a really pretty color, and it has a cute name, but I wasn't rushing out over it, but people were obsessing and at a around $1.00 to $1.99 price point, you can't really go wrong. I had heard some people say it was on a separate display and others say it was in the permanent display so I wasn't really sure where or if I'd be able to find it. I went to Walgreens and looked everywhere and wasn't seeing it. Then I looked really closely at the permeant display again and I found it tucked way behind some random color, like someone was hiding it (I used to do that). I was so happy because it was the only one there. Then I looked at the other colors and found another one that caught my eye, I've been into the mint green colors lately, but I don't know about if it;s new or old or what. Regardless, they're both really pretty!

Then, the other night I went to paint my nails and grabbed both of these colors and one other glitter polish and decided to start painting. When this happens, things can and usually do go terribly wrong, when I decide to layer and layer colors. However, this time, I'm thrilled to report, things went extremely right! I love this color combo and it reminds me of spring and reminded my mom of Easter.

I used two coats of Cinderella on each nail, which could have probably have used either another coat or a thicker second coat, but I didn't mind how it came out. Then, I put one coat of Mint Apple on top of two nails and one coat of OPI's Last Friday Night, which was apart of the Katy Perry collection over that. If I knew exatly what I was going to do with my nails before I started painting I probably would have just painted two coats of Mint Apple on my ring and middle fingers instead of already having two coats of Cinderella underneath, but it looked nice and worked out. But, beware that's how things can go wrong when you layer 4 and 5 coats of polish. I'm so surprised, yet pleased, it didn't easily chip.

Sorry for the weird angles and lighting but it's so hard to capture how pretty Cinderella is. It has such unique gold, orange, yellow shimmer that's hard to catch on camera and hard to describe, but looks beautiful on the nail, not just in the bottle. It is pretty sheer and may look good over the top of a light blue base, or best if you just use at least two or three coats. 

So, does the glass slipper fit? Will you be picking any of these up? ;)
