Sally Hansen 'Green thumb' (St Patricks Day number 3) Green nail polish Swatch and Review

-
Hiya! Boy, is today an exciting day. Well, my nail broke again last night, so that's not exciting (AT ALL!) but I am not concentrating on that; I'm thinking about the fact that we are in the TOP THREE! Isn't that exciting? I'm right to be excited, aren't I? This list is so full of green nail polishes that I don't think that you guys will want to see another green nail polish swatched for about a year (cough cough, next St Patricks Day, cough),  but the upside is that they are all really amazing polishes to wear for St Patricks Day, so I hope that list has given you some nail-inspiration! Anyway, I thought it would be nice to have a little emotional spiel here given that we are in the top three now, but I'll get into the swatch and review not; no more rambling, I promise! Oh, and if you don't know what this list is, click here for all the info you need!


This polish is called Green Thumb and it is also from the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear range (if you don't know what I mean by also I mean I swatched and reviewed another polish from this range for this list). I'm kinda mulling over what I should call this colour; I feel like a suitible description is a mid-toned green, coz' it's not a light green but It's not super dark either, but I don't think that that actually exists (wait, maybe I can just invent it! No! No! I will not do that...must...stick..to...facts.....). So yeah...I think I will just call this a plain old dark green (or a mid-toned green, if someone can invent that for me!). This polish also has a very, very shiny finish, more details in the formula section down below!


If you are wondering how such a miraculously shiny finish is achieved, that secret lies in the formula! The formula is odd, but really awesome and I love it so much because.....(pause for ultra-dramatic effect) the first coat has a jelly-like formula! Yep, you read that right! The first coat is super sheer and jelly like but the second coat builds the polish to full opacity, innit that weird! You would generally think that with a jelly-like formula it would take three coats to build it up; but nope! It's great in two! Perfect, in fact! AND super shiny! I adore this formula, It may be one of the most memorable formulas in my collection! If you guys wanna see the full extent of how this formula works, then you can watch the live application video here!


Lookit! Lookit how squishy it looks on the nail! I just love that effect, guys! But, it's not just the formula that makes this polish deserving of it's prestigious number three spot, it's also the colour. Just look at it; it's perfect for St Patricks day! It's so much fun to put on and so pretty to look at it, I just think that this polish is perfection! But, what do you guys think? What do you think of the formula? Do you know if there is such thing as a mid-toned green? Do you like the shiny shiny finish? Let me know down below in the comments or on Instagram and Pintrest (my username is thegoodnailsblog)!
May your nails be good and lucky

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 ...
