Sinful Colors Leather Loose

I have a love hate relationship with matte nail polish. I love the way it looks, but I despise the way it applies. I have a Zoya Matte green that I cannot for the life of me apply without streaking. So when I found a few of the Sinful Colors Leather Luxe collection at Walgreens, I knew I had to pick them up, but was convinced that the swatches I saw online would not be duplicatable on my own nails.

I was SO pleasantly surprised!!! I've only used one, but it applied absolutely perfectly!!! First coat=streaky, second coat=amazing!!  I give you Sinful Colors Leather Loose. 

It's a dark chocolatey brown, with a golden shimmer. A shimmer in a matte nail polish?? Yes please! It such a great color. I've used matte topcoats over brown before so I knew it had potential, and I was so pleased with how it looks on the nail.

 I wore this all day, and then decided a gold stamp would jazz it up even more.

I stamped on Sinful Colors Gold Medal, using BM plate 318. Gold medal is from the new Decorate Decadently display at Walgreens. 

It's not very often a color makes it on my nails for more than one work day, but this one has managed to wow me enough to stay put. I was even pleasantly surprised that there's only minor tip wear, considering mattes are notorious for chipping and I bang away on a computer all day long.  Good luck finding Leather Loose. The press release for the Leather Luxe collection just came out, but I've only found random bottles scattered at the walgreens I've visited. Wish I had known about this collection before it was so hard to find!
