Jindie Nails – Sexy Barbie (Mei Mei’s Signatures exclusive)

2

Hello lovelies! I’m still alive, just adjusting to my new routine and schedule. I have no plans on stopping blogging so just have a little more patience with me while I figure it all out :)

And now on to this gorgeous polish that is a new Mei Mei’s Signatures exclusive Sexy Barbie by Jindie Nails. This is a stunning pink jelly with circle glitter in different colors and sizes. On this manicure I used three coats of Sexy Barbie, a thin coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The application on this was amazing. Absolutely no issues at all! The jelly base applies so smooth and even. No dragging, balding or streaks. Just amazing! And the color… can I say it again? Amazing! So juicy and perfect pink. I just totally love this one. I love circle glitter and I’m crazy about jelly polishes so this one is right down my alley.

Sexy Barbie is available only at Mei Mei’s Signatures. They offer worldwide shipping and great customer service! You can also find Mei Mei’s from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Crazy Polish Lady – Another Mojito, Please!

1

It’s Monday again! I hope everyone is off to a great start with their week :) Today I have Crazy Polish Lady Another Mojito, please! for you. This is from the limited edition Summer Is Up collection. Even though this is a summer polish the colors go great for fall and winter too. This crelly polish has quite a unique and lovely color combination!

For this mani I used two coats of Another Mojito, please! with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Formula was good and the application was nice and smooth which is usually the case with Crazy Polish Lady polishes. This was opaque on two coats but with my long nails it would’ve not done any harm to add a third coat. With two coats the result was smooth enough so I didn’t need Glitter Food before the top coat.

Crazy Polish Lady has recently opened her own webstore. This polish is still available along with previous collections and a very stunning looking new fall collection. So go check it out! You can also follow her on Facebook.

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 :)

Lynnderella – Mr. Pink

0

Greetings from the house of coughing and snotty noses. My kids have been sick for a few days now and there doesn’t seem to be an end to this right now. Hubby is also getting sick and I myself will probably catch this sooner or later.

Anyways I’m getting this post up for you even if it’s the last thing I do LOL this is Lynnderella Mr. Pink from the  “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection. Here’s how it’s described on the Lynnderella website “Mr. Pink contains assorted pinks of all sizes, shapes, finishes and attitudes. Multiglitter accents in a warm pink shimmered clear base”.

This is two coats of A England Rose Bower, one generous coat of  Mr. Pink and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Application was once again perfect and very smooth. I love how this polish has a few colorful glitter pieces here and there. Not too many but just enough to make it look alive and have a little color pop details.

Lynnderella polishes are available to European customers at Norway Nails. You can use the code “POLISHAHOLIC” to get -10% off of any purchase. Norway Nails offers a wide range of gorgeous indies and other polish brands. You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Mish Mash Challenge Week 7: Least expensive polish – Golden Rose Matte Velvet #105

13

Happy hump day! For once I’m getting my post up on Wednesday :D This week we are using our least expensive polish/polishes. I chose Golden Rose Matte Velvet #105. This one was also in my untrieds so it was an easy choice. I found this from a discount bin at a local store and it cost me 1 euro. I believe I have never bought a polish cheaper than one euro :)

This is two coats of Matte Velvet 105 alone, no undies, no top coat.

 

 

Application was great and two coats is enough for an opaque result. This dries to a semi matte, shimmery finish. Very beautiful color :)  I have no complaints.

Now I’m off to check out what kind of awesome findings the other ladies have to show for this cheap polish week :D

4

Today I have a real treat for you my dear readers and for myself too. I bought this polish a while ago and I can’t believe I still hadn’t tried it on!

If you don’t own this yet, GET IT, NOW! :D

This is two coats of Rose Bower with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The formula and application was just perfection. I just can’t get over how beautiful this polish is!

Lynnderella – Tidy Whities

0

Today I have a polish from the new Lynnderella “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection.

This is Tidy Whities and here’s Lynnderella’s description this polish “a mixture of opaque and translucent whites with assorted tiny pastel and iridescent glitters. Multishimmer in a clear base”.

This is two coats of IsaDora Purple Reign, two coats of  Tidy Whities and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The application was easy and smooth, no need for Glitter Food. This is one of those glitter toppers that can be layered over any color. White base looks icy and dark base brings out all the beauty in this polish.

Lynnderella polishes are available to European customers at Norway Nails. You can use the code “POLISHAHOLIC” to get -10% off of any purchase. Norway Nails offers a wide range of gorgeous indies and other polish brands. You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

IsaDora Wonder Nail – Purple Reign

2

Today I have a gorgeous shade from the new IsaDora Color Chock Fall 2013 collection. This is 772 Purple Reign. It’s your basic plum-ish purple creme that goes great for the fall months. I think everyone should have a shade like this on their stash. I have more than one myself ;) This is a dark, vampy shade but still clearly purple, not black.

Formula was excellent and the application was very smooth. The Wide Brush this polish has made the application very easy. This might even be a one coater for shorter nails. I don’t have much experience with IsaDora polishes but the quality of this polish impressed me a lot so I think you’ll be seeing more from IsaDora on this blog in the future.

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

Try It On Tuesday: Wet n Wild Megalast – Sugar Coat

1

For this TIOT I have chosen yet another Wet n Wild polish. I seem to have a bad habit of buying cheap nail polish and just putting it in to the drawers without trying it out.

This is four coats of Sugar Coat with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Formula was thin and sheer and the application was quite streaky. I actually managed to get it to look good on three coats but then I went to the stables and messed up the mani a bit. I added a fourth coat and another coat of HK Girl before I took the photo. I love this subtle very pale pink color. Looked great with my new nails! I don’t know if it’s even possible to find a color like this that’s not streaky and is perfect on two coats so I didn’t let the application bother me too much.

Born Pretty Store review – Feather Effect nail polish

1

Today I have a Born Pretty Store review for you and this time it’s Feather Effect nail polish. I have not been too interested in these feather effect polishes before and this is the first one I got. This has a lot of silver and white bar glitter on a sheer base. The silver glitter is holographic and it gives this polish a lovely glow and sparkle. Shade/color number for this is #2 in the web store.

For this manicure I used a coat of Wet n Wild Megalast Break The Ice, two coats of Feather Effect #2 and Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat.

 

The formula on this is quite thick. You need to let the first coat dry pretty well before applying the second one or the first coat will start dragging. Applying this with a very light hand helps too. Also this smells pretty weird/bad. That being said, I still totally love how this looks. It looks like angel wings :D So pretty and sparkly! I layered this over a sheer white base but you can layer this over any base color you want to. This would look amazing built up to be opaque on it’s own but it will need to have a date with a thinner bottle first.

You can buy the Feather Effect nail polish from Born Pretty Store and they also have a wide range of other nail art supplies. Born Pretty Store offers free worldwide shipping. Please use the code “NZL91” when you order and get extra -10% discount.
