Sportsgirl Nail It! Scented and Matte Nail Polish Swatch and Review (Boxing Day Haul Part 1)

-
Hello, everybody! I promised you guys in my previous post that I would share with you my boxing day bargains and give 'em a swatch! Weeel, here I am with the first part of my swatchin' for boxin' (day). Just kidding, that's not the title.Unless, y'know, you guys want it to be, in which case consider it done :)

As you can see, I picked up three polishes from Sportsgirl. They were fifty percent off, with an 50 per cent discount so they ended up being around $2.50 AUD a pop. When I took these babies home and peeled off the sticker with the discounted price on it, I almost screamed because lying underneath that innocent lookin' sticker was the word 'scented'. God, guys, when I wore Revlon's scented polish it my nose was constantly itchin, it stank so bad. It was so awful I couldn't keep the thing! While I was sceptical at first, I actually thought these polishes smelt really nice! They didn't trigger any allergies or anything at all! Here are the swatches of the two scented polishes!


This here is Milk Choc by Sportsgirl. It takes three coats for full opacity on this baby. The formula is a little bit runny, but the polish is soo shiny! In the photo, there's no top-coat, just that natural polish shine! This polish smells like chocolate, and I am surprised by how much I like it, It's like delicious perfume for ya' nails!



Sportsgirl Mint Chip. Also a pretty solid three coater, but somehow the formula has gone in the other direction; it's thick and makes for pretty patchy coverage. The formula on this really wasn't the best, and it didn't have the same shine factor as Milk Choc. It still smells really nice though! 


The last polish I have from Sportsgirl isn't scented, it's matte. This is called 'Rosie Matte'. When I swatched this polish I looked down at my nails and thought 'how on earth am I supposed to describe this colour, this ain't rose'? But, a little diggin' on Google revealed that it is a dusty rose pink colour. Gee, was I wrong. This polish has a great two-coat formula, and the colour is really unique! I was very impressed with this polish!

My overall thoughts on these polishes were mostly positive. I was a little dissapointed in Mint Chip, but loved Rosie Matte and Milk Choc. If you are considering buying a scented polish, keep in mind that they are not for everyone, my mother can't stand the way these polishes smell, but I love them.

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before ...
