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.

Recently, my mother and I endeavored to purge a significant number of polishes from our collections. As usual, I circled her purged items like a vulture. Sally Hansen Cinna-Snap (Insta-Dri) is one that I grabbed up. So much for purging, huh?
The formula is thinner and more jelly-like than any Insta-Dri polishes I’ve used. Cinna-Snap looks darker and more vampy than the bottle color in most artificial lighting. But under my searing vanity lamp and in sunlight, it shows up as a deep, warm brownish burgundy.
