Sinful Colors Song of Summer & ORLY Coachella Dweller Comparison



I recently received Sinful Colors - Song of Summer in the #surfsupvoxbox and thought that it seemed incredibly similar to ORLY - Coachella Dweller, so I decided to do a comparison!

As you can see above the two polishes are practically the same, I’d say there was maybe a half shade difference between them. Nothing significant though. Coachella Dweller had a thinner and more sheer formula and needed 3 coats to become opague and non streaky. Song of Summer only needed two coats.

I don’t believe Coachella Dweller is sold in stores anymore, so if you missed out on that one I suggest buying Song of Summer.

I received Sinful Colors  Song of Summer complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

ORLY Matte FX - Purple Velvet



I really like this ORLY Matte FX in Purple Velvet. It's such a pretty purple. The only problem with it being matte is that once it dries all the shimmers in it become almost unnoticeable. To see the shimmers you'd have to add a shiny topcoat. I might have to try it out soon.

The formula was not self leveling either. So, if you do choose to wear this color you have to smoothly and evenly apply the polish. I didn't do this properly on my left hand and it looks all bumpy and weird.

Deborah Lippmann - Moon Dance


Three coats of Deborah Lippmann Moon Dance. I’m loving all the colors in this! I do wish I’d layered it over some dark undies though. The colors would have popped more, I’m sure.

Color Club - Editorial

Color Club Editorial is blindingly bright in the sun. Two coats is shown above.

I’ve also realized how hard it is to capture the color shift on camera. The bottle shows the color shift well though!

butter LONDON - Slapper

I just spent nearly two hours trying to take a color accurate photo of Butter London Slapper. I give up. This is the best it’s going to be.
It is a wonderful color though. In person, the shade is a tad darker and is much more of a teal green. The color of my watermarks is a much closer match to the true color.
Shown here is 3 thin coats.

Sinful Colors - 24/7

This color was SO difficult to photograph. Even now it’s showing up darker than it actually is in person. The trouble with neons I suppose.

I didn’t die either! Which is a good thing. While I had these on my nails a week ago I haven’t been on my laptop (which is where all my photos and such are) for the past week. Soooo….yup.

Essie - Ballet Slippers

Taking a break from nail art with this pretty pallet cleanser. Essie’s Ballet Slippers is such a great milky pink.

This mini bottle was from a cute little mini collection I got from my wonderful momma on Christmas. I took a picture of my Christmas haul and I was going to post it but I was a dummy and accidentally deleted it.
