New formula for Sinful Colors Daddy's Girl...?

YES PLEASE.

I was poking around the polishes at a Midwest superstore called Meijer and happened to pick up a bottle of Sinful Colors Daddy's Girl.  I know that some bloggers have a lot of love for it, but I've always been on the fence.  However, what I saw yesterday completely changed my perspective.

 Please click the picture to get a better view of this gorgeous new shimmer!!

This picture is more subtle, but click away to see the neat duochrome of the microshimmer in the bottle.  Blue, red, gold!  That doesn't show on the nail, but my pictures don't even get close to capturing the beautiful colors coming from this bottle.

The formula that I found is on the left.  The original formula is on the right.

If you've seen Daddy's Girl swatched before, you know the drill.  It's a purple jelly polish, and near impossible to capture.  It comes through very blue in my picture, unfortunately.  In reality, it's a true purple jelly, with stunning red shimmer running through it.  I'm finding that the red-violet color really compliments my skin tone!

And here's the standard bottle shot.  This is a good one to click to see the red shimmer!  This is three easy coats.


I really hope that this is a completely new formula, but I can't be sure.  It could just be an odd batch.  It seems like their new polishes all have a raised "SC" on the cap, but this bottle doesn't have that.  I adore this red shimmer version.  It reminds me of Nfu-Oh 51 without the flakes. <3

So has anyone else seen this version floating around?

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming...

...for Sinful Colors' Timbleberry.

(Annstah, this one is for you!)

Right before I started up Persistently Polished, Annie over at NAILSTAH posted this review of China Glaze's Pink Chiffon.  (Of course, her review only made me want it. *facepalm*)  Sinful Colors' Timbleberry was brought up as a possible dupe, and was suggested as a possible dupe for China Glaze's Sugar High from the Up and Away collection as well.

I think that both Pink Chiffon and Sugar High are similar pinks, so I can't at all blame anyone for feeling like one polish could dupe both.

I put Timbleberry on last night in hopes that it would come close to Annie's super pretty Pink Chiffon. Unfortunately, it isn't even close.

A word of apology for the glitter all up in my cuticles in the pictures. lol  The last post I made about the struggle with Slamming Red?  That's what's left of it.  After that disappointment, I didn't feel like going at my poor nails with an orange stick.

I'll admit that in some pictures, it does look pinkish.  This direct sun picture brings out some interesting tones in Timbleberry.  But make sure you take a good peep at the picture below with the polish's name sticker and my thumb.  That seems closest to real life.

This polish is a bright, almost neon color.  Unlike a neon polish, though, it dries with a shine. :)  I would consider it a coral, but it very much has a red base rather than pink.

This wasn't an overly pigmented polish, but it was far from sheer.  Two coats was perfect.  It was a little thick, but I imagine it was just the bottle I got.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems darker in this picture.  Which is overall more accurate.

And just for comparison, I took a couple more pictures.

This is Timbleberry next to China Glaze's Sugar High.

And here's Timbleberry next to High Hopes.

(Both Sugar High and High Hopes are from the China Glaze Up and Away collection)

Almost the same, right? :D

The photos don't seem to show that High Hopes is subtly lighter than Timbleberry, but if you're not a stickler for owning the name brand, you can save yourself a few bucks. :)

Thanks for reading!
