NOTD: SinfulColors Ruby Mine

Today I've got another shade, Ruby Mine, from the SinfulColors Crystal Crushes collection, released this fall. These shades are textured and meant to be worn without topcoat.

As with Got A Blush on You, Ruby Mine also applied super easy. I got pretty great coverage in one coat, but added two to make sure I had the intended color and finish. I REALLY like Ruby Mine- of the two it's definitely my favorite.

I did note that the bottle did not mention that this was meant to be worn without topcoat. I wonder if the display these shades will be in will mention that? I wish that SinfulColors had noted this feature on the bottles, like OPI did with Liquid Sand and China Glaze did with their Texture Coat. I'm just afraid these will get mixed in my collection and I won't recall that they have the texture feature until I use it.

Swatches: Dermelect Fall/Winter Collection: Front Row

 

Dermelect Ferosh

2 coats

Deep and rich.... almost a blackened red. Not that flattering with my skintone.

Dermelect Sophisticate
2 coats

So so pretty. Not at all chalky like I was afraid it might be.

Dermelect She-She

2 coats

A gorgeous teal with a jelly-like quality.

Dermelect She-She

2 coats

on The Wild Child (age 7)

She wanted in on the swatching action and chose She-She as her NOTD. She loved it!

Dermelect Excentric 
2 coats

This deep grey has a lot of purple in it, which I love.

Here are some details from Dermelect's press release:

Straight from the runway and right to your fingertips, Dermelect Cosmeceuticals launches ME’s Fall/Winter 2013 Lacquer Collection, Front Row. Featuring four new hues that complement the season’s hottest trends, these lacquers will also keep your nails healthy with Dermelect’s signature anti-aging & peptide-infused formulation designed for women who desire to grow out long and strong natural nails.

“From the fur frenzy to fierce patent leather, Dermelect’s Front Row collection is all about texture,” says Celebrity Nail Tech, Elle. “These colors almost mimic expensive luxury fabrics from this season’s runways.”

With a jewel and earth-toned color palette, these creamy colors are your ultimate accessory.

· FEROSH-a rich luxe red

· SOPHISTICATE-a cool cashmere taupe

· SHE-SHE-a patent teal

· EXCENTRIC-a lavender grey fusion

HOW IT WORKS

The first coat instantly bonds to the nail, while the second fuses with the base coat to create a flexible web of color that resists chipping and improves brittleness. The ME colors combine fast drying, high shine and a healthy ‘green’ dose of vitamins, peptides and moisture, offering a colorful solution to the contemporary woman’s beauty concern—aging nails and hands. 

KEY INGREDIENT

· ProSina Protein Peptide-Hydrolyzed Keratin extracted from New Zealand sheep’s wool that strengthens the nails and moisturizes the skin.

BENEFITS

· Strengthens weak, brittle nails

· Restores nail flexibility

· Helps nails resist chipping and splitting

· Provides long-lasting, high shine and bold color

· Water and detergent resistant

· Protects against UV rays

· Formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene FREE

· Cruelty FREE (no animal testing)

Dermelect’s ME Front Row collection, available August 2013, retails for $14.00 and can be purchased online at www.dermelect.com and at high-end apothecaries, beauty boutiques, salons, spas, medi-spas and doctors offices.

NOTD: Dermelect Sophisticate

Dermelect Sophisticate

 

Dermelect recently sent me their Fall collection, and I chose Sophisticate to try first. This was really a dream to apply- I got smooth, perfect, even coverage at 2 coats. I used NYC Grand Central Station as my topcoat and it dried so quickly. I'm looking forward to trying the other four shades soon. My kiddos started school this week, and we just returned from a week-long vacay last Saturday, so it's been a bit crazy at our house this week!
