Stash Swatch Initiative: Sinful Colors: Faceted

Hello!

Today I have a surprise Walgreens find! This is Sinful Colors Faceted!

Faceted is an incredible mix of iridescent bar glitter and teeny, tiny lavender square glitter in a clear base. This one is crazy-unique! And really pretty.

Swatches today are one and a half coats of Faceted and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute over yesterday's Zoya Dovima swatch. By one and a half coats, I mean that I swiped on one coat and went back over to dab and wiggle the brush so the bars were randomly aligned. Other than that little extra step, this polish applies easily with no formula issues.

My awesome husband spied this one on the shelf and brought it over to me. I was instantly intrigued because it looks amazing in the bottle. Those iridescent bars create a duochrome effect in there, which you can see in the bottle shot (however, it is slightly exaggerated because my camera is red and reflecting in the center-most part). Once I got this home, I was so curious about what it was that I swiped some on a piece of paper. Over a white base the iridescent bars show up as a translucent pink, flashing to blue. Over a dark base they pop from orange through green to blue. The shiny purple squares show up nicely over both the light and dark base. The name is appropriate too -- in direct sunlight, all definition of the glitter shape is lost and it becomes a wild, sparkle fest. I couldn't capture that well on camera, but it was pretty incredible as well.

My favorite way to wear this is with a matte topcoat. It glows! Totally amazing.

Sinful Colors is sold at Walgreens, which is where I bought this bottle. I found it recently -- within the last few months. I highly recommend hunting this one down!
