Sinful Colour Frenzy + Revlon Lilac Pastelle

Hi all!
I've come back again for another post! It's another nail polish one! Let me make this clear, this blog isn't only going to be about nail polish. There will be reviews on products, samples, DIY projects and miscellaneous things I feel like posting. But for now I just feel like nail polish! I promise will make a post on something different next week. Okay now lets get on to it!

First is Sinful Colours Frenzy

Revlon Lilac Pastelle & Sinful Colours Frenzy on Ring finger

  

A close up of the glitter 

Colour: Purple and Blue Glitter with clear base, glitter all small and the same size (see the close up picture above)

Coats: 2 coats of Frenzy, I think a 1-2 coats more would give more 'glitterage' (Glitter + coverage = glitterage!)

Liked: The polish has two types of glitter colours and because it has a clear base so you can apply to other nail polish colours, unlike the Sinful Colours nail junkie which had a translucent teal base

Disliked: Nothing!

Durability: had some minor chipping after a couple of days

Overall: Another great polish from sinful colours! 

The second, Revlon Lilac Pastelle

Colour: Pastel purple colour that can sometimes be mistaken as pink (well that's only applicable to me)

Coats: 3 coats of Lilac Pastelle. First coat very stripy and sheer, second could still see some stripes, third coat a solid pastel colour with no stripes

Liked: What's not to like? It's pastel for god's sake!

Disliked: I had to apply 3 coats in order to get a solid colour! Took so freakin long to dry!

Durability: With 3 coats of polish it barely chipped

Overall: An okay polish, I love the colour, the brush was a medium (not thick or thin) but polish itself was just too sheer for my liking.

Okay so, I promise there will be a totally different post unrelated to nail polish next week!  And maybe another nail polish one? Okay? 

See you next time!

Sinful colours Nail Junkie

So today's post will be my first review of a nail polish! Yay! I hope they'll be more to come and for you to enjoy them all! Hope that made sense cause for a moment that didn't, correct me if I'm grammatically incorrect. Sorry, I like going on tangents, my friend says I have ADD, but whatever! 

Nail Junkie - Totally me!

Let's get back to what I was talking about before, NAIL POLISH! I'm a huge nail polish fan, although my collection doesn't go into the hundreds but I'll get there. So today's review is about Sinful Colours Nail Junkie my mum had purchased for me at a sale I mentioned in my previous post. 

Colour:  A light blue colour with glitter (small and large) 
Coats: 2 coats. This is a very sheer glitter polish, I had 2 coats on and you could still see my nails underneath. Maybe 1 or 2 more coats would cover them. Or as I would suggest have a coat of coloured nail polish underneath, preferable a similar colour
Liked: The very unique colour. This colour reminded me of of Cinderalla's dress 

This picture was found on http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdvn0hfEqg1rncdgao2_500.gif

Disliked: Like all glitter polishes, it is a pain in the butt to remove the glitter. 
Durability: It began to chip a couple of days after application, but you couldn't really tell because of the sheerness of the polish. 
Overall: I love this polish, for the price I paid, it is totally worth it! Yeah, it chipped but that was after a couple of days.

I don't know a Sinful colours stockist, but if you do and you come across this colour... GET IT! It would be a sin to NOT purchase this colour. See what I did there =)

Anyways, till the next post!

Nail Polish Haul: Revlon & Sinful Colours

Hi All,
My first official beauty related post. Now lets get down to business show we?
So my mum came by a closing down sale at Chemist Warehouse a couple of days ago and purchased some nail polishes for me! Yay! Can't love her enough =)

So apparently the polishes were on sale 3 for $5. That equates to $1.67 per bottle TOTAL BARGAIN!!!!

That's right! Revlon and Sinful Colours Polishes for a total of $10!

(From Left) 185 Lilac Pastelle, 902 Craving Coral, 913 Peach Nectar

 I'm not sure how much they retail for, but 3 for $5 I'm not complaining! I'll do a swatch soon on all these polishes soon so you get to see how beautiful they are. Best thing is she got me 2 pastel colours, which is the current summer trend! 

(From Left) 922 Frenzy, 927 Nail Junkie, 831 Hottie

I've heard of Sinful colours but have never seen them before, too bad I wasn't at the sale, otherwise this would've been a much bigger post! 

I'm very happy with my mum's purchase for me! She had called me earlier to ask what colours I like and I just told her to get every glitter polish she can get her hands on. I don't think there were many colours there since it was a closing down sale and she only found 3 glitter polishes. 

If you know a sinful colours stockist please tell me I'd love to know. 

See you next time!

Who? What? When? Why?

 Hi Everyone!
 I'll just do an introduction of myself so you can know me better =)

 WHO: I'm a 20 yr old Asian University student studying at USYD from Sydney of course! (First Trivia of my blog: Guess what I'm studying). You don't get a prize by the way, just a congratulatory post on facebook for everyone to see!)

WHAT: So this blog is going to be about three things I'm really interested about: Beauty, DIY and crafts. From time to time I'll blog about random DIY & crafts projects I've completed. Here's something else you should know about me, I like to recycle things or make things out of scratch for the purpose of being environmentally friendly and gaining self satisfaction. I'm also a hoarder of many things, but that doesn't really concern anyone, right?

WHEN: I've had this idea of starting a blog a couple of months ago, but realised there were just too many assessments and exams coming up so I postponed my Idea until Yesterday I guess... 

WHY: Seen my definition of Closetaire? I'd like to clarify first that I'm not gay, I should have though it through first before creating Closetaire. I guess I'm a a pretty social introvert if that makes sense. I don't like to describe myself as an introvert because there seems to be some negativity associated with the word. This is literally how I came up with the word

Closeted person + (-aire for millionare, billionaire etc) = Closetaire

Make fun of it all you want but this is who I am. I make weird, quirky and sometimes weird comments (I mentioned weird twice, because I'm essentially very weird hence the double up). Like me or hate me, I hope you will enjoy reading this blog. 

I guess in a very long time I feel like I have a purpose in life now. I'll reveal more of myself in the future as I get more comfortable with blogging.

Anyways see you soon!

Closetaire =)
