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.

Color Club – Sugar Rays

2

Happy Sundays lovelies! Here’s another new polish from Color Club. This is Sugar Rays from the the Harlem Lights Winter 2013 collection. Sand-y gold polish with light pink shimmer. Very pretty and makes a great base for glitter or nail art.

For this mani I used three coats of Sugar Rays with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Formula on this was good and application was smooth. I did three coats though two will be enough for shorter nails. This is actually quite sheer on the first coat but applies so evenly you can wear it like that if you only want some shimmer on your nails.

OPI Liquid Sand – Make Him Mine

5

I just had to test out the new camera even if I have really no idea how to use it properly ;) Either way I managed to take a photo with the camera’s auto-settings. I think I’ll be using the auto-settings for now and learn more as I use it.

So this is one of the new OPI Liquid Sand polishes for the Mariah Carey Holiday 2013, Make Him Mine. This is a beautiful rosy color that is actually a bit warmer IRL than it looks on my photos. Very sparkly and pretty!

For this mani I used two coats of Make Him Mine, no undies (no need cos I have the UV-gel layover to protect my nails) or top coat.

 

 

The formula on this was very good. Like all the Liquid Sands I have tried this applies easily and perfectly. Two coats was enough for opaque result and the dry time was quick. Removal process was also quite easy compared to your regular glitter polish.

IsaDora Sugar Crush – 102 Metal Crush

3

I got an opportunity to try some new fall shades from IsaDora Color Crush polishes. This is 102 Metal Crush, amazing grey-ish lilac texture polish with some silver glitter. I TOTALLY love this color! It’s oh so pretty and sparkly!

On this manicure I used two coats of Metal Crush. The application was just perfection. I didn’t even have to do a cleanup with a brush and acetone like I usually do. Though you might want to avoid a cleanup with a polish like this anyways or you could end up with shimmer up to your elbows ;) Just be careful and take your time with the application and the result will be perfect.

The removal was very easy using acetone free nail polish remover. This is nothing like glitter polish and even if it looks like a pain in the butt to remove it really isn’t. Naturally there was glitter and shimmer all over my hands right after the removing the nail polish but washing my hands with soap got rid of almost all of it.

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.

Color Club – Williamsburg

1

Happy Saturday lovelies! Today I have another polish from the new Color Club fall 2013 Girl About Town Collection for you. This is Williamsburg, a deep navy blue jelly with blue shimmer and what looks like micro-flakies on the macroshot. Very beautiful color that’s perfect for the holiday season. Add some gold or silver nail art and you’re ready to party!

On this mani I used two coats of Williamsburg and G & G HK Girk top coat.

 

This has a good formula and two coats was enough for my nails. Again, a tiny bit streaky on the first coat but evened out nicely with the second one.

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

IsaDora Wonder Nail – Loden Green

4

This is IsaDora Loden Green from their gorgeous new Color Chock collection for fall 2013. The base color on this is very interesting. It’s muddy green-ish grey and it’s packed with fine golden green shimmer. I know it doesn’t sound good but it works like a charm. This polish is absolutely gorgeous and just a perfect color for fall!

Formula on this is great. It applies nice and smooth and it’s fully opaque with two coats. On this manicure I used two coats of Loden Green with G & G HK Girl top coat.

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 :)

Color Club – Wicker Park

1

Today I have another new Color Club shade for you from the Girl About Town Fall 2013 collection. This is Wicker Park, a beautiful lavender creme.

For this mani I used two coats of Wicker Park with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Wicker Park has an excellent formula and the application was a breeze. Just a tiny bit streaky on the first coat but evens out perfectly on the second one. Two coats is also enough for an opaque result. Very beautiful shade and a great quality! Looks like your average lavender/lilac creme but at least I don’t have dupes for this in my stash.
