Sinful Colors-Nirvana

Nirvana is a really nice taupey-brown creme.  It has really nice application, but for some reason doesn't agree with ridge filling base coats.  It kept pulling like crazy until I used it over a regular base coat.  This is two to three coats with no topcoat:

Quite an interesting color.  Not quite brown, but not quite taupe either.  And it's not really a "greige" either.  I like this better than a regular brown on my skin tone, however.

ELF-Smokey Brown

Smokey Brown is a gorgeous smokey taupey brown.  I have always loved this color, and I don't have anything like it.  It doesn't hurt that it's only $1 on the ELF website!  This color is perpetually sold out (like most of their polishes) but I managed to get my hands on one and I love it!  These photos are two coats, no topcoat:

Gorgeous, right?  Very classy :)  I've been meaning to order some more ELF polishes, but like I said, they're always sold out!  Tell me what you think of colors like this!

Sally Hansen-Tyin' the Knot!

When I saw this color at my local Target, I couldn't take my eyes off of it!  It's super hard to describe, though...in the bottle it looks like it might be a dark metallic taupe/charcoal/silver/brown/?/beautiful.  On the nail it dries a bit more on the charcoal side, less brown than it looks in the bottle.  All I can say about it is that I never want to take this color off!  It's very chic and polished.  These photos are 2 coats with a topcoat of SV.

If I look really hard, I can even see a slight green tint.  Especially in that first picture.  Maybe I'm seeing things? Who knows...

Application on this one, as with all the Sally Hansen Diamond Strength polishes, is flawless.  I didn't have to do any cleanup on this one.  The polish basically applied itself.  Since it is a pearl/frost, care is needed with brushstrokes to avoid crazy streaky patterns on the nail.

What do you think of this color?

EDIT:  I have been staring at this polish all day, and I noticed some purple tones coming out in it...almost reminds me of Chanel Paradoxal...maybe?  I don't have Paradoxal, so I'm not completely sure.  Anyway, just thought I'd put my two cents in about the purple :)
