Pink Wednesday

For my first pink Wednesday, I went with Sinful Colors 'Soul Mate'. I originally thought this was from that Adventure Island Collection, the way it was kinda muted and murky, but turns out it's from the Valentines 2011 collection. Who knew?

Looks more muted in the bottle than on my fingers.

At any rate...I didn't like it. Let me explain, I love the color...if I could find an OPI dupe for this, I would get it in a heart beat. I hated the application. The formula on this one, for me, was a miss. It was fairly easy to control and I didn't have too much pooling, but it did bubble alot. I think it was the thick consistency plus the long, skinny brush that didn't sit well with me. I like a thicker brush so I don't have to take so many strokes, especially on a heavy polish that gets tacky very quickly.

This is two coats and a top coat, although, it was opaque after just one coat. You can click on the pics for larger versions.

Also, if you didn't notice I decided to switch my nail shape to a square tip instead of rounded. I think there are more designs that look better on a square tip. But, to get rid of the roundness without growing my nails super long, I had to cut them pretty short. I guess they will start looking better as they grow out. And as I get better at cleaning up the cuticles because boy they look awful in pictures! lol.

Does anyone know a decent dupe for Soul Mate? Anything pink, muted, and murky but without the purpleness that Sparrow Me The Drama seems to have?
