Different Dimension – Another Brick In The Wall

0

Today I have the last polish from Different Dimension Echoes collection for you. Another Brick In The Wall is a very pretty glitter topper that goes with a lot of different base colors. This has black, white and pink glitter in different sizes and shapes. There’s also holographic silver glitter that gives this polish a lovely subtle sparkle.

For this manicure I used two coats of Essie First Timer, two coats of Another Brick In The Wall and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Another Brick In The Wall applies well. All the glitter pieces come out easy enough as long as you turn the bottle upside down before application and shake it slightly to mix the bigger glitter pieces along with everything else. This applies nice and even so no need for Glitter Food to smooth it out.

I have now shown you all the six shades from the gorgeous Echoes collection. If you missed some of the posts don’t worry. I’ll have a post up with all the shades and links to the original posts later today.

Different Dimension polishes can be bought from their Etsy-store, they ship internationally. Their polishes are also sold at Llarowe, Mei Mei’s Signatures, Edgy Polish and Ledouxnuage. Different Dimension can be found from Facebook and Instagram. Be sure to follow for latest news and swatch photos :)

ABC Challenge – T is for Time (Different Dimension)

13

Happy hump day again! Today it’s already time for letter T (and maybe a time to start thinking about what our next challenge will be :P). So for letter T I chose a polish called Time. This is from the new Different Dimension Echoes collection. All the six shades in this collection are very beautiful and unique. Time is another gorgeous glitter topper you can use with a lot of different base colors. Again you can see on the photos how the holographic stars and big circles change color with the angle of the light giving this polish amazing sparkle and glow.

This mani is two coats of China Glaze No Way Jose, two coats of Time and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Time applies like your usual indie glitter bomb. I had no issues with it. You just have to remember to turn the bottle upside down before application to help the glitter come out of the bottle easier. Also remember to allow each coat to dry for a bit before applying the next coat. Otherwise you might start dragging the bigger glitters out of place.

Different Dimension – Comfortably Numb

0

Here’s my second blog post of today and as promised it’s another glitter topper from the gorgeous Different Dimension Echoes collection. Comfortably Numb has bright pink and yellow glitter on a clear base. This polish also has a gorgeous cold toned pink shimmer. Comfortably Numb is so much fun and it’s easy to layer with a lot of different base colors. Black would be the obvious choice along with a white base. I decided to try two other colors. First I layered it with this mornings Different Dimension Whatever manicure.

This is two coats of Whatever, two thin coats of Comfortably Numb and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

I really like that combination. It’s bright and fun! But why stop here? Comfortably Numb is an awesome glitter bomb and I was just dying to see how it would look layered over a coral red creme so I took out my Wet n Wild Heatwave and created this combination.

One coat of Wet n Wild Heatwave, two two thin coats of Comfortably Numb and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Well I have to say this looks absolutely stunning over a coral base too and this combination just screams summer to me! Perfection!
Comfortably Numb applies well. The result is nice and smooth so I didn’t even use Glitter Food with either manicure. Just don’t forget to turn the bottle upside down for a bit before application. That helps the bigger glitter pieces to come out of the bottle easier.

Different Dimension – Wish You Were Here

6

Today I have another Different Dimension polish from their new Echoes collection. This is Wish You Were Here and this polish, ladies and gentlemen is so blindingly bling it might be lethal out in the sunlight ;) Camera couldn’t even capture all the sparkle this one has but trust me, it’s amazing! On the photos you can also see how the large holographic circle glitter changes color depending on the angle of the light. I have one blurred shot to show you the amazing rainbow colors this has.

This is one coat of Color Club Where’s The Soiree? black creme, two thin coats of Wish You Were Here, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl top coat.

 

Wish You Were Here applies like your usual glitter bomb. I’m so used to these types of polishes nowadays that I had no issues with the application. I turned the bottle upside down for a bit before applying each coat and even the big circles came out just fine. This polish is absolutely stunning and it kinda gives my nails a certain galaxy manicure feeling.

Different Dimension polishes can be bought from their Etsy-store, they ship internationally. Their polishes are also sold at Llarowe, Mei Mei’s Signatures, Edgy Polish and Ledouxnuage.

Coco Allure – Cleopinktra

8

Happy Saturday everyone :) Been a busy day hence the late post, but better late than never. Today I have another new to me indie brand Coco Allure and their Cleopinktra glitter polish for you. This has gold, pink and fuchsia glitter in different shapes and sizes on a clear base. This must be a new formula cos it is somewhat different than the swatch photo on their store shows. The swatch photo has more square glitter and none round ones and the polish I got has a lot of circular glitter. So this is not quite what I expected but I still like it very much.

Cleopinktra applies well and is really packed with glitter. Just one coat was enough layered on a black base (Essie Licorice). No need to turn the bottle upside down, a lot of glitter comes out without any tricks. This is quite blingtastic polish and I love the colors. This will work on many different base colors. Awesome Gini from Sassy Paints suggested layering this over a subtle yellow and I think that is exactly what I will do next time.

Coco Allure polishes can be bought from their Etsy store.

 

 

Daring Digits – Speicher Mei Mei’s Signatures exclusive

4

Today I have another Mei Mei’s Signature exclusive polish for you, Daring Digits Speicher. All of these Mei Mei’s exclusive polishes are so pretty and feminine that I can’t help but keep buying them :D On this order I got two polishes. Those of you who follow me on Instagram have already seen a sneak peek of the pink beauty that is the other polish I bought. I’ll get back at that on another day and on another post.

On Mei Mei’s Signatures shop page  Speicher is described as “A delicate clear base polish with lots of thin gold and silver flakes in irregular size with blue iridescent flakes and blue/purple duochrome micro-shimmers”. This applies really nice and thin. I decided to layer this over white since I thought that combination would be great for spring time and it really is. This also works great over dark shades and I’ll be sure to take a swatch photo over black or dark purple later on.

On the photos I have two coats of Essence Top Of The Ice-stream (white shimmer), two thin coats of Speicher and HK Girl Fast Drying + Super Shiny top coat.

You can buy this and a lot of other gorgeous polishes from Mei Mei’s Signatures. I have nothing but good experiences with this store. Great customer service and fast shipping :)

 

 

Jindie Nails – Purple People Pleaser

0
I hope everyone is having a lovely Friday :) Weekend is almost here! Today I have another Jindie Nails polish for you, Purple People Pleaser. After this I still have a couple of more to show you plus a re-visit to Barney Blew Up. My photos of that are on the short nails and I wasn’t too happy with those photos anyways. It’s also such a cute polish that it would be a crime not to use it!

Purple People Pleaser is a sheer shimmer-y polish with a lot of blue, purple, white, black, etc. glitter in different shapes and sizes. This is at it’s best layered on top of a colored base. I also swatches this alone cos it can be worn that way too. The cold blue shimmer on the base can also make your nails appear a bit more white too. The formula is the usual normal indie glitter. Applies smooth and even. This is the usual, great Jindie Nails quality.

On the first set of photos I have three coats of Purple People Pleaser, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and Inm Super Fast Drying top coat. On the next one I have layered a coat of Purple People Pleaser over two coats of OPI Pedal Faster Suzy! as an example. Then to my actual manicure and I loved the way this looked. The green base really made the purple glitter pop! Such a fresh looking combination. On that I used two coats of China Glaze Def Defying and one generous coat of Purple People Pleaser plus Inm Super Fast Drying top coat. Purple People Pleaser would also pair up perfectly with a gold base color. This applies so nicely that I think I’m gonna use this as a gradient glitter over gold sometime.

You can purchase Jindie Nails polishes from their webstore that opens before next restock. You can also buy them from the Etsy-store (closed at the moment) as well as Llarowe, Mei Mei’s Signatures and Ninja Polish. You can find the latest restock and other info from their Facebook page. You can also follow Jindie Nails on Twitter and Instagram. Jen has already given us a little taste of the upcoming spring collection on Jindie Nails FB and Instagram pages. I believe there is going to be more previews to look forward to today.

Jindie Nails – Baby Doll

2
Today I have another Jindie Nails polish for you and this time it’s Baby Doll. I got quite a few of Jindie Nails polishes a few days ago and I really want to show them all to you before the next restock. Jindie Nails is opening a new online store and soon you can buy these babies there.

Baby Doll has a ton of glitter in different shapes, colors and sizes. There’s so much going on again that I won’t even try to write it all down, I’ll rather let the photos speak for themselves. Overall this is a very beautiful and delicate looking polish. Perfect for those summertime parties when you want your nails to look awesome and stunning but can’t really wear bright colors. I totally fell in love with this one and I need to buy a full size bottle sometime soon :P

You can get out the full potential of this polish by layering it over black. Jawdroppingly gorgeous! The black base really brings out everything in this polish. You can see the amazing shimmer on the sheer base too. I’m going to try this on a galaxy manicure soon. Amazing!

Application was normal and I had no problems. I didn’t need to fish out the glitter either. I recommend turning the bottle upside down for a bit before application and shaking/rolling it lightly. You should also let each layer dry for a bit before applying another one. This way the bigger glitter pieces won’t start dragging and moving with the following coat of polish.

On the first set of photos I have two coats of Baby Doll over a coat Essie Beam Up whitening base coat, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and Sally Hansen Diamond Shine top coat. Photos are taken in sunlight and also using daylight bulbs.

On the second set I have two coats of Baby Doll over a coat of Color Club’s Where’s The Soiree? black creme. I topped it off with a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and Sally Hansen Diamond Shine top coat. Photos are taken using daylight bulbs.

You can purchase Jindie Nails polishes from their Etsy-store (which is sometimes closed) as well as Llarowe, Mei Mei’s Signatures and Ninja Polish. You can find the latest restock and other info from their Facebook page.

Rainbow Honey – XOXO

2
I ordered my first Rainbow Honey nail polish a while ago and chose to get XOXO from their new Sweet Talk collection.

XOXO has golden and holographic micro-glitter and bigger different sized red hex glitters on a clear base. This is at it’s best when layered with another polish. The red glitter pieces remind me of rose petals. This is a very beautiful glitter polish that can be used with a lot of different colors.

I have two coats of base coat, two coats of nude Color Club Linen & Silk and one coat of XOXO plus Inm Out The Door top coat on my nails. The formula is a little on the thick side, even a little gel-ish but very easy to apply and the glitter spreads out evenly without any tricks.

I tested this out on a white paper and four different colors just to see how it looked with other polishes. Turns out this looks especially sweet with pink and white polishes.

I bought this from Mei Mei’s Signatures along with another polish and it was my first order from them. Customer service was just excellent and shipping was quick. You should also follow their Facebook-page for further information about restocks and new products.

ABC Challenge – C is for China Glaze Caribbean Blue and circle glitter

42

Yay!! It’s time for our weekly ABC Challenge again and this week’s letter is C. For that I chose China Glaze Caribbean Blue with circle glitter. Enough C’s there for y’all? LOL Circle glitter awesomeness polish is Stay Behind, Catch a Wave from Elevation polish.

I applied two coats of Caribbean Blue and one coat of Stay Behind, Catch a Wave. The circle glitter lays so flat that I only needed to use Inm Out The Door Super Fast Dry top coat to smooth it out. I’m totally in love with this circle glitter. Such a nice change from all the hex glitter I’ve had on my nails lately. So sparkly and looks like raindrops on your nails. Stunning! Can’t wait to layer this with other colors too.

Stay Behind, Catch a Wave can be bought from Elevation Polish store but it’s sold out at the moment.
