Sinful Colors Let Me Go + Let's Talk

Today I want to show you a combination I like: Sinful Colors Let Me Go layered over Sinful Colors Let's Talk.

Let's Talk is a blue-based, purple shimmer.  Let Me Go is an iridescent color.  In the bottle it shifts between purple, blue, green, and pink.  On the nail it basically looks pink with a green flash.  When I saw it in the store I thought it looked amazing and had to have it, but after I tried it I was pretty disappointed.  It's very sheer and is never truly opaque, so alas, this one is best for layering.

Here it is layered over the purple shimmer, and I really like it.  This is 1 coat of base coat, 2 coats of Let's Talk, and 1 coat of Let Me Go.

I also wanted to share a little Christmas nail art experiment.

My index and middle fingers are 2 coats of OPI Kennebunk-port, and I added free-hand red tips using LA Colors Art Deco in Red Glitter.  I finished with 1 coat of quick dry top coat.

My ring finger started with 2 coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White.  Once that was mostly dry, I drew the leaves with Sinful Colors Nail Art in Simple But Fun (it's a really bright, almost neon green).  Then, using a bobby pin, I added the berries using Kennebunk-port.  After they were mostly dry, I used LA Colors Art Deco in Green Glitter to draw the stems, and the Red Glitter to accent the berries.  Finally, I used Sally Hansen Glass Slipper to add some flakies around the edges of the white, and finished with a coat of quick dry top coat.  (I'll have another post soon about Glass Slipper).

Happy first day of winter and thanks for reading! :)

    1. Thanks Stephanie! I haven't had a chance to experiment with it yet, but I'm wondering how it would look layered over colors. :)
