New: Sinful Colors Chalkboard Collection

I finally found a Walgreens that had this display! I didn't find the black, white or pastel pink exclusives to Walgreens, but I will continue to hunt them down. Not that I went to six different stores for these...I only went to five. These are pretty and the formula was smooth and generally easy to work with. The finish on these makes them dry quicker, so take care not to over work the polish when applying. They will almost immediately become patchy and streaky. Stick with thin, quick swipes and you'll be fine. The first four are pastel tones and dry to a demi matte/satin finish. The purple and pink shades are jellies and look to have a wax like sheen to them when they are dry. They remind me of jelly beans!



 
There is nothing peach about this shade. This is a soft lemon pastel yellow creme. It was opaque in two coats with minor streaking, which is impressive for a pastel yellow. In some lights, this can look a little darker but still holds it pastel tone. 

 This is a pistachio pastel green. Two coat to be opaque, good formula. In some lights, it can look more like a grass green, which still looks pretty.

This is a pastel cornflower creme mixed with a hint of periwinkle. This is my favorite shade of the bunch. The formula was perfect and opaque in two coats.

This is a pastel lilac. This was opaque in two coats but for some reason was more prone to streaking. This one dried faster than the others for me, which might have been the reason for streaks.

This is a warm toned purple. It has a jelly formula which was easier to work with and there was less worry for streaks or patchiness. This would be lovely for jelly sandwich manis. This one can be opaque in two coats depending on how you apply your coats. It might need three.

This is a midtone red based pink. It has a jelly formula, same as Hazed (above), also great for jelly sandwiches. This one can be opaque in two coats depending on how you apply your coats. It might also need three coats.

All in all, these are pretty colors with a nice demi matte finish. The formulas are easy and for around $2 each at Walgreens, they are a pretty good value that I'm not disappointed with. Until next time...
