Mermaid Week Day 3: Sinful Colors Nail Junkie

I am not sure what Sinful Colors was thinking when they named this shade.  Nail Junkie?  The first thing I thought of when I saw this bottle was mermaids... I love it.  So the Mermaid connection today is visual and not name based, I am sure you will agree!  Check it out:



Nail Junkie is a sheer teal jelly base with blue, green, and gold iridescent normal size glitter along with some gold micro-glitter.  The formula is a bit thick, I am wearing five coats in all pictures under a coat of Color Club topcoat.  I normally like to layer it over black, but that looks more like stars than mermaids so I will leave it for another day, another theme. ;)

I really like this!  There is so much depth that it makes all that layering worth it.  The dry time was fast as expected with jelly glitters... but, don't forget: five layers.


I bought this for $1 during one of Walgreen's sales (retails for $1.99) .

So what do you think?  Does this make you think of mermaids or nail junkies?

      I am lucky it ended up peeling off after doing some cleaning, but I had hoped to keep it a bit longer lol! :)

      Thank you! I think I may have been able to get away with two coats over a base color, but where's the fun in that?

    I love this polish! I definitely need to get it. One of my best friends has a crazy obsession with mermaids, so I'll have to tell her to come look at your blog! 5 layers is just the price to pay for gorgeous glitters... ;)

      Hahaha send her down, I'll prepare some tea for the occasion! :) You know what it's all about, a few blown minutes is a small price to pay for beauty after all!

      It's very pretty, I think my favorite way to wear it is over black too!
