Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Pink Sparkle Review and Swatches (very pic heavy!)

Next up for Sinful sparkles: Pink Sparkle.  It's exactly what it sounds like, you'll be shocked to hear.

Like Nail Junkie, Pink Sparkle is thick, though I don't think it's quite as bad as NJ.  Attempting opacity with Pink Sparkle isn't realistic, but 2 coats is sufficient for sparklecity; 1 coat could be enough if you're fine with not having a pink tint.

It's more demure than Nail Junkie, and could be workable for those who like their sparkle less obvious.  I really like it, and I think it's one of the more versatile polishes in my collection.  

See my review of Nail Junkie for info about application and removal.
