Battle of the Princesses

In this corner, we have Sinful Cinderella, a light blue polish with an orangey-pink shimmer.  Cinderella is VERY sheer.  After 2 thick coats there were still bare spots.  Since I knew I was topping it, I stopped there.  I was sort of meh on this color.  I think I would like it more over a light blue base.   I don't want to lay on 4 coats to get it to be opaque. The application was good for the most part, a tad bit thin, but generally on par with other Sinful polishes.


In the next corner we have Sea Lore Ariel.  A glitter topcoat loaded with red squares, purple hexes, and green glitter.   This color combo is very evocative of Ariel's color scheme.   What really sets Ariel apart for me is the gorgeous green/blue shimmer throughout.  I thought the application was easy, more of a dabber type of polish, but still easy to put on and disperse.  Very easy to get a blend of glitters out of the bottle.  The one nail that has a glittergasm on it was because my kids came in my room and distracted me and I looked down to find I put on too much.   This is a top coat lover, but two coats of Seche and it was perfectly smooth on the nail!  This line from Sea Lore is really fun because each is named after one of Triton's daughters from The Little Mermaid.  


Combined, I think these two turned into something breathtaking. 


However, as you can see from the photos Ariel comes out on top!   :-) Duh, Ariel is the far better princess in the Disney world!.

  1. Ooh, I really like the glitter! It's beautiful but the fact that it's Disney themed makes me like it even better. Cinderella is a great polish but I found that is was sheer when I wore it too.

    1. Yeah, I couldn't see myself wearing Cinderella alone, either over something or as underwear. I also think she nailed the colors perfectly for Ariel (and all of the sisters)
