Athens from Sinful Colors, is from their Cast Away 2012 spring collection. A medium, dusty, teal creme, this polish has a great formula. Smooth, nicely pigmented, not too thick and not too thin, this could have been a thick one coater. Two other teals are in this collection, Greek Isles and Be Happy; Athens is the darkest of the three. To give you an idea, Athens is a shade darker than China Glaze's For Audrey.
I included various photos because the color seems a bit too green to me in photos, and not true to color. In person its a little bit more grey and a bit more blue than in these photos. Athens is really a pretty color and is definitely one of my favorites! Below is two coats, because I'm a bit fastidious.

I used China Glaze's strong adhesion base coat, two coats of Athens, one coat of Revlon's quick dry top coat. Athens was $1.99 at Walgreens. Bargain!
Love this color, I can't stop staring at it!

ReplyDeleteI just got this polish for 75 cents at Walgreens. I layered it with Kleancolor "Starry Meteor" and it is so pretty. Thanks for swatching.
