Sally Hansen 'Mint Sorbet' (St Patricks Day number 6) Green nail polish Swatch and Review

-
Hi guys! Number six, huh! Are you guys enjoying this series? I sure hope that you are? Today I am sharing with you one brand (and line in particular) that I love; Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear! I love this line of polish because it is so consistently good and so consistently p-r-e-t-t-y! This polish I picked up a while ago and fell in love with the subtle and beautiful colour. I'ma now not say too much and give it all away and hop into the review and swatch with rabbit like agility (get it, coz' rabbits hop)!


This polish is called Mint Sorbet and it's from the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear range ( but you knew that already, coz' I've got a big mouth and couldn't help mentioning that already). The colour is very subtle; it is a light green, but it almost looks white, as if the base is a white with only a lil' bit of green thrown in there. It's so cute and subtle and it's pretty, and innit that a good thing? Also, I think it's unique! You don't see a heck'a lot'a shades like this, I know that I haven't!


Now, now, now It's formula time! The formula; it's really good! I like it! Especially for such a light colour; it gets fully opaque in two coats which is awesome! But- there is but one flaw in the formula of this polish. If you overwork the polish then there is a possibility of getting really obvious light spots and patches. This only happened to me on one nail when I was doing my swatch pictures, but you would definitely need to cover that up with another coat if it happened. Also quick brush and bottle review; coz' I think most of you guys will be familiar with it. The bottle is a unique classic; it's quite small with a slight curve and a slightly curved cap. The brush is a really great brush; it's not too big or small and easy to apply to a pinky finger or smaller nail beds. If you wanna see how this polish applies, then you can watch my live application here!


I really like this polish! I really do! I reckon it looks amazing and subtle on it's own, but would also make a great base for nail art or for a really fun glitter! Although there is a slight flaw in the formula it is perfect for St Patrick's Day and definitely deserving of a place on this list. If you guys have no idea what list I am talking about click here to make me make sense (I take it back, it's impossible to make me make sense). But I would love to hear your thoughts! Do you love the Xtreme Wear range? Do you have any colours like this? Would you wear this on St Patricks Day? Let me know here in the comments or on Instagram and Pintrest (my username is the goodnailsblog)!
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 ...
