Sally Hansen Luxe Lace – Eyelet and Ruffle

4

 

 

Today I have another two Sally Hansen polishes to show you. These are white 830 Eyelet and black 840 Ruffle from the Luxe Lace Spring 2015 collection.

Both of these are one color matte hex glitter in different sizes on a clear base. Formula was good and easy to apply. There was no need to fish for the glitter and two coats gave enough coverage. I wanted to play along with the lace theme and used a nude base for these but of course you can layer these with any color you want.

 

 

These are simple and very usable glitters. I love the fact that they are matte and just one color and shape. I have quite a few black & white glitters but none in just black or white that are this basic and trust me, sometimes basic is good. If you want to add something more you can always use another glitter together with these or apply these over a gradient base. You can also apply a coat of each if you don’t have and b&w glitter. There’s a lot of different ways to use these!

Both of the polishes have a coat of Essie Beam Up and a coat of Essie Sugar Daddy as a base. Then two coats of glitter and a coat of HK Girl.

With the black Ruffle I also added a coat of OPI In True Stefani Fashion before the black glitter to show how it works with a little added sparkle.

Delush Polish – Mad Top Hatter Duo

6

So today I have a glitter topper duo from Delush Polish layered on the OPI cremes I showed you on yesterday’s posts.

Star Gazer is neon glitter mix on a clear base. This applies nice, smooth and even. You can layer this over a lot of different colors. This time I chose OPI Where Did Suzi’s Man-Go? and I think they looked just perfect together! This is such a fun polish :)

On this mani I used two thin coats of Star Gazer over OPI Where Did Suzi’s Man-Go? and one coat of HK Girl top coat.

 

Two Bees in a Pod is a lovely black and yellow (hence the name) glitter mix with some holographic glitter to bring on the sparkle. I layered this with OPI Alpine Snow white creme to really make the glitters pop. This already looked very good with just one layer but since I always need my glitter fix I added a second coat. Application was good and smooth. This is very packed with glitter so it’s easy to get the coverage you need without having to apply too many layers.On this mani I used two coats of Two Bees in a Pod over OPI Alpine Snow with HK Girl top coat.

Jindie Nails – Purple Penguin Punch (Norway Nails custom)

6

Today I have a very pretty Jindie Nails polish for you. This is Purple Penguin Punch and it’s only available at Norway Nails.

This is a sheer purple glitter polish that looks great layered on a base color. Purple Penguin Punch is packed with glitter of all kinds of shapes and sizes plus there’s a lot of tiny flakies. The shimmer on this one is amazing! I chose a black creme (Essie Licorice) as a base cos it really made the shimmer pop but you can layer this over any color you want. I think this would also look great over white or light pink.

Application was good and there was no need to fish for the glitter. Though I think it I should’ve applied another layer of top coat to smooth the surface a little more. This is a gorgeous polish and you can create a lot of different looks with is just by changing the base color.

For this manicure I used a coat of Essie Licorice, two coats of Purple Penguin Punch and HK Girl top coat.

Femme Fatale – Witchful Thinking

0

Happy Sunday! Here’s another Femme Fatale polish for you. I decided to use their glitter topper Witchful Thinking over my Maddening Whispers manicure I showed you the other day.

Here’s how this polish is described on Femme Fatale website: “A clear based glitter topper filled with gunmetal, black, charcoal and silver glitters in various sizes/shapes and accented with a stunning lavender shimmer and violet iridescence. We recommend using over a darker base colour to enhance the shimmer”.

This is very packed with glitter so I found it easiest to apply the first coat normally and dab on the second coat. That way I really had no issues with application. I also used two coats of top coat to make sure the result was smooth. This polish has an awesome metallic look to it and it looked really cool in real life! Unfortunately all the sparkle this polish has didn’t show up on the photos.

Femme Fatale polishes and cosmetics can be bought from their website where you can also find a list of international stockists. You can follow Femme Fatale on social media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

For this manicure I used two coats of Maddening Whispers, two coats of Witchful Thinking and two coats HK Girl top coat.

Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat – Fuzz-Sea

4

It’s December and it’s time for all the Holiday manicures and posts but first let me get this Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat manicure out of the way. This is two coat of Fuzz-Sea dabbed on to Color Club Poetic Hues finished with a coat of HK Girl top coat. This would’ve looked a lot better if I used a tape to help make a crisp line instead of freehanding it. I love the colors though and I’ll most certainly dig Fuzz-Sea out of my polish drawer when spring gets here again.

Lynnderella – Once Upon a Prince

0

Today I have the last polish from the Lynnderella “Once Upon a Prince and more Man Candy” collection for you. Here are the links to the reviews of the other eight shades in this collection:

Mr. Darcy
The One Who Got Away
Mr. Pink
Tidy Whities
It’s Raining Shaman
Oh Eric…!
AquaMan Candy
The Full Minty

This one is Once Upon a Prince and here’s how Lynnderella describes on her website“Once Upon a Prince has multiple purples accented with scattered multiglitter in a rich, translucent purple and blue shimmered purple base”. I usually layer these types of glitters with a purple, lavender or black base. This time I decided to do something different and since I had a pretty sandy gold shimmer polish sitting on my review pile I thought why not try that. I think the combination worked out great and this looked very pretty in real life.

For this mani I used Color Club Sugar Rays, two thin coats of Once Upon a Prince and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

The formula on this was very good and the application was easy. This would probably be fully opaque on it’s own with three carefully applied coats. This applied so nice and thin that wearing this alone is a possibility too.

Lynnderella – Mr. Darcy

0

Here’s a polish from Lynnderella Once upon a Prince and other Man Candy collection. This is Mr. Darcy. I LOVE the name! I’ve seen the Pride and Prejudice (TV miniseries) so many times and I never get tired of it.

Here’s how Lynnderella describes this polish “Mr. Darcy was inspired by devotion to and deep love for chivalrous gentlemen who have good manners and behave courteously. It has multiple shades of grey, as well as lavender, gunmetal, periwinkle, and navy as well as a kiss of red in a clear base”.

I decided to layer this over the dark navy blue Color Club Williamsburg manicure. Dark base made the black glitter in this pretty much disappear but brought out the other colors quite nicely. This would look great over a lavender or a light pink polish too but in my world Mr. Darcy can not be associated with a girly base color ;)

This is one generous coat of Mr. Darcy over Color Club Williamsburg with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The formula on this was very good and easy to apply. I had no issues, none what so ever.

Chaos and Crocodiles – Fireside Nights

0

This is my first Chaos and Crocodiles polish and I was so excited when this brand became available internationally. This one is Fireside Nights and it’s just perfection for fall with all the fire-y red and gold glitter.

I layered two coats of Fireside Nights over IsaDora Loden Green and topped it off with a coat of G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Formula was nice and thin and the glitter came out of the bottle very easily. Two coats applied evenly and it was easy to control the amount of the glitter you were taking out of the bottle. The result was smooth enough that there was no need to use Glitter Food before the top coat.

Chaos and Crocodiles polishes can be found from their website. Us international ladies can get our fix from Norway Nails (use the code POLISHAHOLIC for -10% off of your purchase) or Mei Mei’s Signatures

Lynnderella – The One Who Got Away

0

Yay me! For getting another blog post up today LOL

This is Lynnderella The One Who Got Away from the Summer 2013 “Once upon a Prince and other ManCandy” collection. Here’s how it’s described on the Lynnderella website “The One Who Got Away is full of assorted black and bright coloured glitter in matte and satin finishes. Microglitter accents in a clear base”.

This is one generous coat of The One Who Got Away over Color Club Wicker Park and finished with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

This one has a very good formula too. The glitter comes out of the bottle just fine without extra tricks. Application is even and smooth. No need to place the glitters too much. I only slightly moved the biggest ones if they landed on the edge of the nail. I just love the colorful micro-glitter this has. It gives this polish a certain cuteness factor and some sparkle :)

Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat – 800 Tweedie

5

Here’s a tape manicure done using Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat 800 Tweedie and Color Club Silver Lake with G & G HK Girl top coat. I quite like how this turned out. Tweedie creates a cool effect with tape and the light grey base color. I’m not the biggest fan of bar glitter but I’m loving this one. I have two more shades to try out and now I’m trying to figure out something cool to do with them too :)
