Sinful Colors Swatches (Winter Color Edition)

   First off, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in my Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat giveaway! I was able to finish validating and tabulating entries this morning, so I figured that I would just draw and announce winners today instead of waiting. So the winner of Prize #1 was Vedra and the winner of Prize #2 was Ulmiel!
Congrats ladies!! 


   On the nail polish front, I have a couple more Sinful Colors to show you guys today. These ones are Secret Admirer and What's Your Name. 


Secret Admirer is a graphite base with tons of round silver speckles. It's kind of reminiscent of Finger Paints Winter Whisper.

    Although I compared Secret Admirer to another polish that I owned and did not like (Finger Paints Winter Whisper), I really like Secret Admirer. It's just a very cool color, and because the shimmer is more individual, I think it has more depth than Winter Whisper. I will say though that if I had a secret admirer, this is not the type of color that I'd want him to be associated with....this is like a serial killer's color or something. *shudders*
The formula for Secret Admirer was fine. It went on pretty smoothly, dried quick, and needed two coats to be opaque. 



What's Your Name is a black jelly base with tons of glassfleck shimmer. The shimmer is teal blue, but it has a tinyy bit of a duochrome thing where it goes violet.

Sunlight, no flash.

    Okay, so the pictures kind of suck, but I love What's Your Name. It's all dark but still sparkly, and reminds me a bit of the ocean at night. However, it's not the most unique color, and I'm pretty sure that I have a dupe for it in Nicole by OPI Blues in the Night. So I'll probably be kicking What's Your Name out. Boo hoo. 
But anyway, What's Your Name's formula was okay too. I used three coats for full opacity, and although it was a little watery, I didn't find the polish too hard to work with.
Also, did ya'll see how they didn't punctuate the name?



And that's all from me today! Thanks for reading, and have a great Saturday!!

I think it's the nicer of the two. Ahahaha, it's weird saying the name though huh?
I really like both of these colors! And you know I was thinking they decided that the dark silver-ish black color would be deemed 'Secret Admirer because a secret admirer is someone who is unknown, shrouded in mystery if you will AND if one were to hear rumors of having an admirer that causes a bit of intrigue. Haha! Can you tell I sometimes suffer from an over active imagination? Anyway, love it!

Ooh, that's a much nicer way to think about it!!
I was thinking about it like...some creepy dude in his basement with a shrine to you, complete with candles and cheesy love songs.
Your overactive imagination > mine.
Both of these are awesome. I love Secret Admirer. I think I'm going to go out and try to find that one.

And congrats to Vedra and Ulmiel!

No problem!! I was so pleased that an international polish lover won, because I know it's not easy for you to get brands like these.
And I'm glad that you liked Secret Admirer!
Nice dark colors. I like what's your name the most out of the two. Thanks for the swatches and Congratulations to the winners.

I LOVE What's Your Name. I think it might have been my first Sinful Colors... anyway, what IS up with the Sinful names. SO random. I know, I always say that, but I hope someone someday will tell me.
