Sinful Colors Sham-Rockin Collection Swatches (St Patty's Day 2014)

Hello my beautiful people, are we ready for Saint Patty's yet?  I know I am not, we haven't even had Saint Valentine's day yet!  It doesn't matter today though, I am so excited about the collection I am sharing today that I am willing to skip Valentine's for this day only to show you the new collection Sinful Colors just put out: Sham-Rockin!  Are you guys ready for some greens?  Good, so am I so let's get to it!

Sinful Colors Sham-Rockin

The first color I have for you today is Pistache, a pastel pistachio creme repromote from last spring.

Sinful colors Pistache

The application for pistachio was really nice, it was opaque after two coats, although I am wearing three on both pictures, no topcoat.

The next polish is Exotic Green, a dusty kelly green Jelly that is part of the SC core line.   

Sinful Colors Exotic Green

The application for Exotic Green was nice, but as expected with jellies, a few coats are needed to cover the nail line.  I am wearing three coats for these pictures, check out that squishy shiny goodness!

Up next is Snow White, a white creme that is also part of the Sinful Colors core line.  Snow Me White is a very pigmented white creme, I am wearing two coats for both pictures, no topcoat.

Sinful Colors Snow Me White

I can't say enough good things about this polish!  Although I haven't wore it alone, ever... I don't ever reach for another white, this little guy does the job when a simple white base is needed!

Our next polish is one of my favorites, EVER: Green Ocean.  This shade pops up every year for St Patty's and is a limited edition shade.

Sinful Colors Green Ocean

Y'all know I am a sucker for flakies, and Green Ocean is an ultra-sheer green jelly base with a bunch of opalescent green flakies and glitter.  I am wearing one coat over Pistache for both of these pictures.

Remember how I said Snow Me White was my favorite white base?  Here is why!  I layered two coats of Green Ocean over Snow Me White for the following two pictures:

The flakies in Green Ocean take on a pinkish tone under certain lights!  This reminds me of opal, I really like this combo!

I have another polish from the Sinful Colors core line next, Call You Later.

Sinful Colors Call You Later

Call You Later is a clear base packed with green and gold micro-glitter.  I layered two coats over Exotic Green for these pictures.

Next up is HD Nails, a bright metallic green that is part of their core line as well.

Sinful Colors HD Nails

The formula on HD nails was super pigmented and pleasant, I am wearing three coats for these pictures but it was opaque in two.

Next is another metallic, and my personal favorite of the metallic bunch: San Francisco.

Sinful Colors San Francisco

San Francisco is a metallic green, but this one has some extra sparkle and the color is more intense.  I am wearing three coats for both of these pictures.

Last but not least, I have Sin-Ammon, a bright golden yellow metallic.

Sinful Colors Colors Sin-Ammon

I really like this color!  It was released back in November, but hadn't landed in my area until recently and it was sold out (or never put out on display?) on the Rite Aid I spotted this collection first, but my local Walgreens had it too so I snagged one up to complete this review! I had thought at first it would be "just another gold" but it is  super bright and metallic, really different from any golds I have.  The application was also nice, I am wearing three coats for these pictures with no topcoat.

I liked Sin-Ammon so much I decided to keep it on, and to stay in the Saint Patty's theme I paired it with one coat of Call You Later and I'm loving it!

Call You Later over Sin-Ammon

Isn't it an awesome pairing?  I feel so royal!

So what do you guys think of these shades?  I was surprised to find the Saint Patty's theme but no Saint Valentine's, is love and friendship no longer a popular commercial concept?  Why the neglect towards the romantics, Sinful Colors?  :)
