Laced Up comes from Sinful Colors’ Leather Luxe collection of 2013. It is a very reddish orange with a semi-matte or “leather” finish.
This polish applies very smoothly, and I prefer it with a topcoat because it takes such a flawless shine. They almost looked wet in person.

Taupe It Off is from Sinful Colors’ Tough Love collection (currently available). It is a matte greige with silver microglitter.
I also tried it out with topcoat (Sally Hansen Big Shiny Top Coat). It looked okay with topcoat, but it was more distinctive in its original “leather” finish.
