Sinful Colors Cinderella

I wouldn't have even noticed this new polish in the Sinful Colors display, but thanks to all the buzz on twitter from ladies trying to find it, I had an eye open! And there it was, in the first Walgreens I visited. There were 4 bottles, and I bought 3. One for me, one for Kelly (who is sending me Whimsical!), and one for a future giveaway.

Cinderella is gorgeous. Seriously. It's exactly the same color as Cinderella's dress, and the shimmer is incredible. Please click to view these bigger, you have to see this amazeballs shimmer!

 

Freaking gorgeous pink shimmer!

What you're seeing here is 3 coats. It's really sheer, and it didn't want to dry. Yuck. After taking these pictures, I took this off and tried again. The second time I used 2 coats of Hard Candy Sky with one coat of Cinderella. That was better, but it still didn't want to dry. When I got home from work 8 hours later, it was still dentable. The next morning I started over once again and used two coats of Sky, a coat of Cinderella, and a healthy dose of INM Out the Door. I stopped using quick dry topcoats a few months ago because I have always had trouble with them peeling (SV, Poshe, and Out the Door have all done it to me!), but if that's what it takes for me to get to wear this polish, then I guess I'll just have to deal with it! I'll update this with some wear results later. I want to keep this on until my bottle of Whimsical gets here; I think it's going to be the most beautiful layering ever!!

What do you think about Cinderella? If you find a bottle, will you pick it up?

OPI: OPI on Collins Ave

I said I would be back with more pictures of this one, so here are a couple! It's a strange polish... When I swatched it, I thought of it as an orange red. While wearing it over the last couple days, it's been mostly orange-orange. But the pictures that I have of it all show it as the orange-red that I first saw it as! So I'm not sure what I think it actually is...

 This is from my camera; it shows it as what I think of as orange-red, a red with strong orange undertones.

This is from my camera phone while I was at work. When I helping teach group lessons, part of my job is to sit up front and play the 12-bar blues over and over and over and over while they learn how to improv. It's supremely boring, especially since I've been playing the 12 bar blues for 10 years, so I keep myself awake by looking at my nails.

And! I went to Walgreens yesterday to see if there was anything I wanted, and I stumbled across Sinful Colors Cinderella! I've been seeing a lot of buzz about it on twitter, so I figured I'd pick on up for myself. Then I went back after work to get one for a blog-friend and one for a future giveaway. I'm at 26 followers, and once I get to 50 it's giveaway time! I figured if I got halfway here in a month, I'll get all the way there in the next month (hopefully!) so I would start picking things up for it.

What color do you think OPI on Collins Ave is? And are you on the hunt for Cinderella?
