Meeting Time

It’s Sin Bin time again, and today let’s meet Let’s Meet! This is another core collection color, although when I saw it in the display I noticed something—namely that there are TWO! The one that I own is a plain creme and the other one is a shimmer. I’m not sure if one is more recent than the other, if it was a rerelease, or a reuse of the name. Here’s some comparison bottle shots.

As you can see, I am not wearing the shimmery one!

It’s a good color, a cheerful warm canary yellow. It’s slightly on the dusty, muted side, but that’s just how I like my yellow so I’m very pleased with it. Formula was good, though my application was slightly patchy, and I did have some small bubbling issues.

I’m trying out a new topcoat, the famed and popular Seche Vite quick-dry topcoat. I’m wearing it on my thumb, middle, and pinkie fingers and wearing Sally Hansen Insta-Dri topcoat on the remaining two. I’m still in the process of trying to find a good topcoat, so this is a comparison test on wear and tear. My nails are notorious for chipping.

I own no dupes for Let’s Meet. The purple shade in my mani is Revlon Brilliant Strength Fascinate, a lovely purple with fascinating blue and purple shimmer. Yellow and purple are complementary colors, so together they both pop wonderfully! I’m completely in love with this mani.

CHIP TEST RESULTS!

My pointer finger chipped after five days, and there was some minor chipping on my middle and ring fingers after a week of wear. The tipwear was expected and still not as bad as it usually is! Seche Vite wins this round.
