Here’s my TIOT mani for this week. This is two coats of Essie In The Cab-Ana with G & G HK Girl top coat.
This applies nice and smooth and two coats is enough for opaque result. I really like this color and it’s such a shame I let it sit there unused for almost the whole summer.

Ahhhh! I’m so late with this post but once again, better late than never :P So last week’s theme was metallic. Since I strongly dislike metallic finish nail polish I decided to do something that doesn’t make me want to start a huge fire and throw every metallic polish bottle in to it. I think studs and chains count as metallic, right? At least on this mani they do :P
Here’s what I did.
For this I used OPI Baby It’s “Coal” Outside with G & G HK Girl top coat. Studs and chain are from Born Pretty Store.
Today I have a real treat for you! Lynnderella recently released a new collection “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” and I’ll be showing you the whole awesome collection one by one!
I’ll start with The Full Minty “satin mint and white glitters accented with several shades of green—all in an intensely sparkling mint-shimmered base“.
This is two coats of China Glaze Keep Calm, Paint On, two coats of The Full Minty, thin coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.
The Full Minty applies perfectly. No need to fish or place the glitters. One coat was already even enough but my glitter addiction forced me to add another one ;) The mint shimmer on the base is absolutely gorgeous. Even though this collection is a summer release, The Full Minty is a perfect color for winter too!

Happy hump day ladies and gentlemen! On this cloudy and rainy Finnish morning I’ll show a colorful glitter explosion that is made to brighten up your day, Jindie Nails Eclectric. This is part of the Mod Quad Glitter Topper collection.
Here’s what Jen has to say about this one: “There are over 100 different shapes and bright colors in translucent neon and bright, opaque (non-transparent), pastel, matte glitters. There are neon pink stars, hex, hearts, squares, neon green stars, squares, hex and dots, neon blue stars, short bars (sparse), squares, hex, neon orange short bars (very few) and hex, neon hot orange stars, short bars, hex and dots, white hearts, stars, hex, squares and short bars (just a few). opaque matte green dots and hex, opaque pastel pink dots and hex, opaque matte light purple dots, watermelon pink dots and hex, opaque matte pastel yellow dots and hex, opaque matte canary yellow dots and hex, dark purple hearts, stars, hex and micro fibers (tiny bars and just a few), neon purple hex, matte opaque peach dots and hex all in a clear base with neon blue and hot pink shimmer. Polish is meant to be layered but looks great on a bare nail, since it’s packed full of glitter. All bar glitters in this mix are the short bars that are not as pesky as the longer bar glitters. I did not put a lot of bar glitters, just a few, so that it wouldn’t be a problem for anyone. The bar glitters in this one are all short fibers, not the long, pesky ones”. Insane, right? :D
For this manicure I used two coats of Essie Licorice, two coats of Eclectric, a thin coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl topcoat.

Hello again :) For my second post of the day I have another Polish Addict Nail Color shade for you. This is White, White Wedding, a mix of white glitter, holographic silver microglitter and iridescent rainbow microglitter on a sheer base. This one is like snow on my nails. So beautiful!! This is just perfect for a winter day or a bridal manicure :)
On this mani I used Wet n Wild Megalast Break the Ice, two coats of White, White Wedding and G & G HK Girl top coat.
Polish Addict Nail Color is available at their own webstore and us international ladies can do our shopping at Mei Mei’s Signatures. You can also follow them at Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Hello lovelies and happy Tuesday! It’s gonna be another two post day and I’m gonna start it off with my TIOT manicure, Wet n Wild Break the Ice. I’ve been on a search for the perfect shimmery white and I saw this in a local store a while ago. I think my search might be over :D This is just perfect!
This is three coats of Break the Ice with G & G HK Girl top coat.
The formula on this is thin and sheer. This runs down to your cuticles easily so apply thin coats. I did three coats and could’ve easily done a fourth one without the manicure looking too thick. I love the fact that the shimmer on this is white. This makes my nails look like they are covered with ice and fresh powder snow. Just beautiful! Hands down my favorite white polish now!

There’s a new brand in indie town. Rain City Lacquer recently released their first collection of five polishes called “Sleepless”. Rainy city, sleepless, there’s enough hints of where this brand is based on ;) At the moment Rain City Lacquer only ships to US addresses with hopes to expand.
So today I’m showing you one of the polishes from this first collection. This is Market Bouquet, an interesting mix of shiny metallic glitter and neon glitter. I don’t have anything like this in my collection and I like it a lot.
This is one coat over Color Club Uptown Girl with G & G HK Girl top coat.
Formula was good and I had no issues with application. Even the bigger glitter pieces came out of the bottle very easily and there was no need for fishing. The bigger glitters might need some placing if they seem to pile up on each other. I didn’t have this problem since I only did one coat. This is another fun looking summer-y polish :)
Rain City Lacquer can be bought from their webstore (US customers only). You can also follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Here’s a quick swatch of Color Club Uptown Girl from the Spring 2010 Rebel Debutante collection.
This is three coats of Uptown Girl with G & G HK Girl top coat.
The formula was a little watery and it took three coats to be opaque. I can’t remember if this was originally this watery or is it just the fact that years haven’t been kind to this bottle of polish. Either way it’s still very much usable and I love this shade. Perfect for fall or layering glitters :)

Today I have two new Jindie Nails pretties for you. This is a duo of holographic polishes Olive You and Polo. It’s pretty easy to guess which is which looking at the colors ;) This is a very pretty couple, holo effect is nice and subtle. So even if you don’t like intense holo effect you might still love these two. The base colors are just gorgeous and they look stunning even without sunlight and holo showing.
Let’s start with the purple holo, Polo (love that name btw ;) ). This is three coats with G & G HK Girl top coat. Application was great. There was no dragging or balding. This took three coats to be opaque on my long nails but shorter nails can get away with just two coats. Such a lovely color!

Then there’s the gorgeous Olive You, a pale green holo and I can see some gold glitter too. This is two coats with G & G HK Girl top coat. Perfect formula, smooth application. Opaque with two coats. This one is so beautiful too! Just stunning in sunlight!

Time for another Oldie But Goodie post. This theme features a polish from my stash that isn’t untried but has been sitting there, forgotten for far too long.
So this time I decided to wear one of my all time favorite browns, Borghese Espresso Brown. This is the perfect warm, chocolate brown for fall time. I just love this shade. What a shame it’s been unused for a couple of years now. I’ll definitely dig it out again in a couple of months.
This is three coats of Espresso Brown with G & G HK Girl top coat.
