Sinful Colors Adventure Island
Adventure Island is a pale, greyed-out mustard yellow, with a hint of avocado green. Since Sinful Colors’ Adventure Island collection is suspiciously similar to OPI’s Pirates of the Caribbean collection, I was wondering if it could be a dupe of OPI’s Stranger Tides. As you can see below, they’re pretty different. Adventure Island (which I’m wearing) is has more yellow in it.
This is one of those polishes I had to have because it was so ugly! Yes, that’s what I said. A color like this just dares you, “Can you rock my ugliness? Can you, punk?” Well, it was on. Find out who won after the cut!

NYC – Hint of Mint
When the mint green nail polish trend first hit it really annoyed me. I think it’s because many of the shades I saw looked too garish. But after cautiously purchasing NYC’s Hint of Mint on sale, my dislike morphed into enjoyment. It’s soft and pretty, but much more interesting than your standard pink or coral pastel. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on this manicure!

Today’s Haul – Brooklyn Beauty Supply Haul
Today I hit the three beauty supply stores in my neighborhood and came away smiling, with a droolicious haul. It’s amazing to have these resources within walking distance of my apartment but such a danger to my wallet…
Anyway, I must share! I wasn’t exactly planning to buy 11 polishes, but I found so many beautiful things. Feast your eyes… after the jump!

As summer wears on, I’m craving mani’s and pedi’s in sunny, tropical colors. Nothing’s screams summer more than a coral-colored nail, and I’m on the hunt for the perfect coral nail polish. Here’s my first contender: Essie’s Tart Deco.
