| Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby |
Ruby Ruby is a bright cherry-red jelly-creme (crelly) that went on well, needed two coats for near-opacity and a thin third coat to even everything out. There is a slight VNL, even with the three coats, but it's not as bad as some of the crellies. Still, I prefer a straight creme just for this reason. I seriously have a hatred for VNL! Even the Chanel Pirate (crelly) red had VNL. I'm beginning to think it's all jellies and crellies.

I'm with you on those VNL. It has to be a really special polish for me not to mind. Really like Sinful Colors. Good colors & price. Not always the best formula but at that price it's okay. Love reds but rarely wear them. Mainly because my nails are usually nubbins. I always associate red nails with long nails.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever find one? I just bought Ruby Ruby today. Maybe they reformulated because mine was totally opaque in 3 coats. If you don't want to chance it, ChG's Salsa is very close.
ReplyDeleteActually I've found several FANTASTIC TOTALLY opaque reds since this - Chanel Dragon and Illamasqua Throb are AWESOME!
DeleteD'oh. I knew you loved Dragon, I spaced. I'm kind of on a hunt for jellies. I don't like VNL, but I cheat and use an opaque matching color for the bottom coat of my jelly sandwiches. They still have the depth and the squishy that I love that way, without the nasty VNL. I'm hoping Ruby Ruby will be sheer enough to pull one off.
