SWATCH SUNDAY — Sinful Colors Pumpkin Spice

Oh my gosh, this post is so late going up! But better late than ever! Today’s Swatch Sunday post is an old Fall favourite of mine that has lived in my stash for a few years now: Sinful Colors Pumpkin Spice.

Sinful Colors Pumpkin Spice is a special edition polish that they release & re-release in the Fall as part of their Halloween collection. I googled it, & the first reference I could find was dated 2012. I purchased my bottle circa 2014. The polish itself is a clear base, full of gold & reddish orange glitters. For my swatches, I decided to apply it over a base of ORLY Color Blast Garnet–I did 2 coats of Pumpkin Spice over one coat of Garnet.

As you can see from my pictures & swatches, Pumpkin Spice is not a super dense glitter topped. Two coats still left the base shade visible. You could definitely build more opacity by sponging the glitter on. I definitely think that this glitter pops more over a dark base verses the red base, in person my nails looked a lot more glittery.

This is definitely a favourite Fall Polish for me & I am so darn ready for all things Fall. It’s officially September & it means I am ready. Bring on my knee high socks, plaid everything, cosy knits & Fall Polish collections. Goodbye Summer, it’s been fun.

As I mentioned above, Sinful Colors seems to re-release Pumpkin Spice as part of their Fall/Halloween collections, although I haven’t looked hard enough to see if it’s been release yet. I couldn’t find anything online about this year’s release, but we’re still pretty early. I feel like it will probably be re-released again, just because it seems to come back every year.

I guess we will have to wait & see!

SWATCH SUNDAY — Revlon Color Stay Fall Mood

Happy Sunday! Today I’m feeling some Fall polish — I think it’s the fact the weather is getting a little bit cooler in the morning, I’m really feeling more Fall & jewel-toned polishes.

& thankfully my urge for new polish was granted thanks to the ever so sweet @helloluli_, who sent me a package of 33 new to me polishes! The sweetest gesture anyone has ever done for me, without a doubt. ♥️ & this bronzed gold was one of those polishes that arrived, so I knew that I needed to try it out ASAP. This shade by Revlon Color Stay is called Fall Mood, & you now what… I definitely am in a Fall mood now!

For my swatches, I did two coats + top coat. I probably could have gotten away with one coat as the formula is pretty awesome, but I went with two to ensure full coverage. Unlike some metallic shades, I had no issues with brush strokes. I did add top coat, but with out it there was a bit of a soft finish–not quite matte, but definitely not glossy.

Oh man, this polish makes me so happy. It makes me think about all my favourite things about Fall–Sweater dresses & pumpkin spice lattes & over the knee boots & polishes in deep purple & gold & navy blue. I know we’re not even in September yet, but my heart is so, so ready for Fall. It’s most definitely my favourite time of year!
