There's a big inspection coming up soon, so though I'm not on the schedule until later in the week, juuust in case things change, I'm in pink instead of POW for now. I revisited a polish I liked when I first tried it, but haven't taken pics of, Sinful Colors Dancing Nails.

Dancing Nails is a warm light red with a subtle copperish or brownish undertone in the bottle. IMHO, it dries a bit lighter and is pink rather than light red, and I kinda wish that the bottle color was truer. It's a shimmery foil look, without frosty brushstrokes, and covers opaquely in 2 coats. It wore about average, with some edgewear and a couple of minor chips showing up by the 3rd day.

It's pretty on its own, but for a little bit of subversive sparkle, I added a layer of Darling Diva's Dangerous Driver.

D4 is a topcoat that's both holographic and has the red-to-green Fantasy Fire-type color shifting pigments. As you can see from the bottle shot above, it's very sheer (note the completely clear air bubble area), and I think you'd need at least 6 coats to get close to opacity - not gonna happen. It of course packs more punch over dark colors - black, cobalt blue, and royal purple are internet faves for FF-shifters - but gives a subtler boost to pastels like DN.

There's a lovely holo sparkle here in bright light, not so much a linear holo flame. The sheerness of D4 means that the base color wasn't muted or made to look dusty.

ooooh! photo comparison all in one! sunlight and shade both. |
Between the foil-type finish of the pink and the sparkle of the color-shifting pigments, this pink is now glowy goodness, and sometimes, it's BAM! metallic, too. But only when you're out in the sun, not inside where the boss will notice.
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. I'm not typically a pink kind of girl, but this nice rose works great for when you gotta be all professional, and it's flattering to my skin tone. Can't beat that for $2.
Where to buy: Sinful can be found at most drugstores (Walgreens, Rite Aid, etc). Buy Darling Diva
at her store.
