SinfulColor Professional Polish Swatches

SinfulColors Professional Polishes - Yellows & Oranges

955 Pull Over

955 Pull Over Rating: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

Color Rating

I really wanted to love this polish.

Pull Over is a creamy yellow with a hint of mustard.

It truly is a beautiful color in the bottle. (true to color when applied as well).

I took two stars off because this polish was lacking.

The application was streaky no matter what I tried.

3 coats were needed for a completely opaque nail color.

Still can't beat it at $1.99 a bottle!

Super affordable.

Lasting power is limited.

A good base and top coat are needed to prolong the life of this polish.

I get a MAX of 3-4 days.

I suppose I should have given this polish 5 stars...

but I've had this for awhile now and have not actually used it.

It just isn't one of my favorite colors.

I was in search of a cream yellow when I purchased it,

well I didn't notice at first that this is a SHIMMER yellow polish.

Totally an error on my part.

So truth be told this polish should get 5 stars.

It applies smoothly and evenly.

FULLY opaque with just 2 coats.

Very true to color from swatch to bottle.

It is a nice color, just not my style!

Still can't beat it at $1.99 a bottle!

Super affordable.

This is another very nice creme orange polish.

I took a star off solely because it is about 2 shades darker

when swatched then it appears in the bottle.

It applies flawlessly smooth with each application.

Completely opaque with 2 coats of polish.

It is a great orange to have, but I hate that it is darker than the bottle!

None the less still a GORGEOUS color.

Still can't beat it at $1.99 a bottle!

1123 Citrine

1123 Citrine Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Color Rating

This has to be my favorite of the bunch!

Citrine is a gorgeous deep creamy red based orange.

When I first started to apply this polish, it appeared slightly streaky,

but it self-leveled on its own.

Full opacity was acheived with 2 thin coats.

Its a beautiful solid orange polish that everyone should have in their collection.

Very true to color, whats in the bottle shows on your nails.

Only thing that bothers me about this polish is the name!

Citrine is a BEAUTIFUL member of the quartz family.

Quartz that is yellow to golden to amber or brown are referred to as citrine.

Which leaves me to wonder who the heck comes up with these name?!?!

As you can cleary see this polish has NONE of those traits!

Still can't beat it at $1.99 a bottle!

Super affordable.

Lasting power is limited.

A good base and top coat are needed to prolong the life of this polish.

I get a MAX of 3-4 days.
