Essie 'Chinchilly' Grey Nail Polish Swatch and Review

-
Hello everybody! How have you been? It has been a little bit since I have done a swatch and review, mostly because I was doing Valentines posts, but I have some really cool polishes to show you guys, starting with this polish; Chinchilly by my favourite brand, Essie!


Chinchilly! Isn't that name just the most adorable thing? It lends itself very well to the colour of this polish as well. The colour is very hard to describe, I wish I could just call it Chinchilla-fur grey, but that won't do! Hmm, let's see.... I guess if I had to label this I would call it a 'cool-purple-toned-grey', there! It has a name! It is probably totally inaccurate, but, y'know, it's something. I guess that my lack of understanding of this colour only goes to show that It's pretty darn unique. I like it! It's very elegant!


Now, let's get talkin' bout' that formula! The formula is just a teeny little bit runny, not a lot, just a little. But, overall I didn't have any actual issues with application, even though this bottle does have the regular itty-bitty Essie brush, not the beautiful and majestic wide paddle brush, so not really much of a negative. Also, I happen to slightly thicker formulas over thinner formulas, so it's possibly just an issue of preference.


My overall thoughts on this polish is that it is kinda a must have! The cool-purple-toned-grey (I'm hoping that will catch on) shade makes for a beautiful and subtle manicure that is still super unique! It also definitely reminds me of a Chinchilla. Naming on point Essie, naming on point! What do you guys think? Do you love this polish? How did I do describing the colour? Do you prefer thicker or thinner formulas? OH! And before I totally forget, which I actually almost did, I will have a live application of this polish on my Instagram, so if you wanna check out how it applies to the nail you can watch that here. Don't forget to let me know what you think right here in the comments or on Instagram and Pintrest (my username is thegoodnailsblog)!
May your nails be good

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 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

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
