Hot Shine by Sinful Colors.  Spotted at Walgreens!

At 2 of my local Walgreens, I spotted a new Sinful Colors nail polish collection called Hot Shine.  It must be part of the Sinful Shine collection, the bottle tops are shiny metallic and they are priced at $2.99.  There are some pretty colors, and I look forward to wearing them.  Below, you will find my swatches with older Sinful Colors polishes to use as references.

Enjoy!

Sinful Colors Rise & Shiner 1332 compared to Envy 960. 
Rise and Shiner is a creme polish similar to Envy. Envy is slightly darker.  Rise &Shiner definitely needs 2 coats.  

Sinful Colors Go Glossy 1335 compared to Southern Belle 1202.  
Go Glossy is a medium berry creme nail polish.  Southern Belle has a slightly redder tint to Go Gloosy's blue-ish base.  Another 2 coater. 

Sinful Colors Patent Pleasure 1334 compared to Courtney Orange 30.
Patent Pleasure is an orange microglitter.  These two are really close.  Courtney Orange has more microglitter, so it looks slighly shinier.  Patent Pleasure is a very pretty color- I can't wait to wear this soon!

Sinful Colors Mirror Mirror 1338 compared to Georgio 980 and Truth or Dare 1178.
Mirror Mirror  is right between the Georgio and Truth or Dare.  It's a beautiful deep berry creme, perfect for fall.  It needs 2 coats for full coverage.  

Sinful Colors Who's the Gloss 1339 compared to Winterberry 1056.
This polish is hard to catergorize.  It photographs dark, but I found it to be most similar to Winterberry.  It looks lighter in the bottle as compared to when it is swatched.  It has a gray base with a blue duochrome finish.  This is my favorite nail polish from the collection, and it's the most "different" of all the polishes.  

Sinful Colors Shine Divine 1333 compared to Opening Night 1204. 
 Shine Divine is a dark green based teal creme polish.  It has a similar base to Opening Night- which came from the recent Glam Rock collection.  It seems as if they took the base from Opening Night, and did not add the frost/microglitter.  A very pretty dark teal for fall.

Sinful Colors Slick 1336 compared to Let's Talk 929.  
Slick is slightly darker than Let's Talk.  I think it's due to the blue-ish microglitter/frost.  I like this better than Let's Talk because it doesn't have streaking problems that I have notice with Let's Talk.

Sinful Colors Slick 1337 compared to Why Not 951.
These 2 polishes are so close in color an shine I have hard time telling them apart.  Why Not may be slightly less green-ish turquoise, but not by much.  Slick does need 2 coats for full coverage. 


Hot Shine is a fun collection.  I love Sinful Colors polishes and have a lot of success with this brand.  My 2 favorites are Who's the Gloss, Mirror Mirror and Patent Pleasure.  Polish and enjoy!

I Think I've Seen You Somewhere Before. Sinful Shine by Sinful Colors

So, I am a nail polish junkie.  Truth be told, I am addicted to all makeup, but nail polish is my favorite.  Sinful Colors is one of my favorite brands.  I've had a lot of luck with this brand.  The price-point is great at $1.99, and I like the formula for most of the colors offered.  When I read on other nail polish blogs that Sinful Colors was coming out with a new line, "Sinful Shine", I was so excited!  I couldn't wait to try the new colors- and I was willing to pay the extra $1.00.  Sinful Shine is a smidge more expensive- $2.99 per bottle.  Being the nail polish junkie that I am, I dug into my mad money and purchased every color from the Walgreen's display.

Are they worth the extra dollar?  I'm not sure yet.  I've only swatched them on my nail tip sticks, and so far I like the quality (some more than others).  But during my swatching ritual, I noticed something.  I was suspicious that I had seen some of the colors before.  I took out my other Sinful swatches, and well- you decide.


Most Sinful #1242 & Endless Blue #1052

These were the first colors I swatched.  I really can't tell the difference between these two.  It's a good thing I LOVE this color.  The Sinful Shine display boasts that the Sinful Shine line has "new gel technology" that makes the new polishes shiny.  I don't see a difference in the shine between these two either.  Maybe I will when I apply to my actual nails.  



Devious #1230 and Ruby Ruby #369

This is another one.  I can't tell the difference- and it's a good thing I LOVE both of these as well.  They are both jelly-like, great color, and apply well.



All the Rage #1217 and Folly #395

These two are very similar, Folly is just a little bit darker, but they are the same tone.  


At Sea #1245 and Sweet Nothing #1171

Another very close match.  Sweet Nothing is a bit darker, but not by much.


Bananappeal #1218 and Pull Over #955

These two are pretty close too.  Pull Over is a little darker, and Bananappeal is more opaque, but they are very close.


Bottoms Up #1243 and Rain Storm #1053

I have a hard time telling these two apart.  Very close in color and coverage.


Come Hither #1221 and Dressed to Kill #1125

Come Hither is a bit more orange, but not by much.


In the Limelight #1233 and Exotic Green #1105

Really close again.  Limelight is a bit lighter, but not by much.


Mardi Gras #1236 and Hazard #952

These two are really close- I have a hard time seeing the difference.


Nouveau Purple #1244 and Mesmerize #1128

This is another pair in which I can't tell one from the other.  Identical in color, coverage and shine. 


Rebel #1234 and Nirvana #949

Very close.  No difference in shine, but Nirvana is just very slightly lighter.


Royal Flush #1246 and Outrages #1124

These two actually look closer in color than the picture shows.  They are both very shiny, both opaque, almost one-coaters.  

I have more pictures of swatches that I will post later.  So far, I think that if you have some of the colors that are close to the Sinful Shine line, it might not be worth the extra dollar.  I might change my mind after I actually wear the colors on my nails, but I'll let you know when I do and what I think.  

Happy Polishing!
