Lynnderella – It’s Raining Shaman

2

Today I have yet another polish from the new “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection by Lynnderella. I recently received the whole collection and I’m showing you these pretties one by one.

So now it’s time for It’s Raining Shaman. Here’s how Lynnderella describes this polish “It’s Raining Shaman contains neon, opaque and satin yellows and oranges with black, grey, pink, red and multiglitter. Holographic gold microglitter and multishimmer overlay in a clear base. Dragon’s Blood not included”.

When I looked at the bottle I wasn’t too excited about the color combination and was even a little lost on what to layer it with. Then I put on Wet n Wild Everybody Loves Redmond and I realized that would be a perfect base for this glitter polish. Once I applied the first coat of polish I was going “Ooh, aah!”. This is so pretty. Color combination is actually pretty awesome and I love the shimmer!

This is two coats of Wet n Wild Everybody Loves Redmond, two coats of It’s Raining Shaman and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The application was perfect once again. All the glitter came out of the bottle without any fishing. This applied so evenly that there was no need for dabbing or placing the glitters.
It always makes me so happy when a polish surprises me positively. I didn’t expect to be crazy about this but once I tried it, I love it!

Try It On Tuesday: Wet n Wild Fastdry – Everybody Loves Redmond

2

Try It On Tuesday is here again and this time I dug out an awesome orange-y, tomato red polish. This is Wet n Wild Fastdry shade Everybody Loves Redmond. I love the sexy, bold, bright red color. The finish is crelly if you ask me. This is too squishy and juicy to be a creme and not quite squishy enough for jelly.

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

 

 

The formula is a bit on a thin side and this runs on your cuticles easily if you take too much polish on your brush. Application was smooth and even, no balding. Two coats was enough for an opaque result and dry time was short. Color is just awesome and quality is great for the price. Be sure to grab this one if you love sexy red polishes :)

Polish Addict Nail Color – Oceanside

2

Hello again! Since I’ve fallen a bit behind on my reviews I’m trying to catch up by doing some crazy swatching and two post days ;)

Here’s another Polish Addict Nail Color shade. This is Oceanside, a beautiful nude crelly with neon green and blue glitter. This polish is a perfect example of how simple can still be very beautiful. Love this!

This is three thin coats of Oceanside with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Formula and application on this were perfection. No dragging or balding like you could expect with a base color like this. Oceanside was smooth and even starting from the first coat. I adore the nude base color! Reminds me a bit of Illamasqua Load. This is another one of those shades that is perfect for winter too. (What is it with me and winter lately? Summer isn’t even over yet! LOL).

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.

Rain City Lacquer – Pink Rain

0

Hello fellow lacquerheads and happy Monday (if there is such a thing ;) ). Today I have another shade from a brand new indie maker Rain City Lacquer. These polishes are currently only available to US customers.

This is Pink Rain and here’s how it’s described on the Rain City Lacquer website “Pink Rain is a neon pink glitter topper. A mixture of iridescent peach, matte pink, and neon pink glitter in a tinted pink base. Looks lovely over your favorite polish, or on its own!”

Here I have two coats of Essie Ole Caliente (coral red creme), a coat of Pink Rain and two coats of G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Formula is a bit on the thick side and in my opinion this is easiest to apply if you dab it on. I tried the normal way of brushing this on my nail and all the glitter got stucked together and piled up. Dabbing worked like a charm though and I was able to apply the glitter pretty evenly. The bigger pink pieces may require placing.

All in all I love how this looks over the bright coral red base. Very fresh and cute looking :) I think this might look really cool on it’s own too if I had the patience to slowly dab it on until I had full coverage. Gotta try that sometime!

Rain City Lacquer can be bought from their webstore (US customers only). You can also follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Lynnderella – Oh Eric…!

3

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is having a lovely and relaxing weekend. This is another gorgeous Lynnderella polish from the new “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection.

Here’s how Lynnderella desccribes this shade: “Oh Eric…! is a love letter to Sheriff Northman—of Area 5 in Louisiana. Red metallic with neon pink, purple and red glitters in a pink-shimmered translucent red base”.

This one is absolutely gorgeous! I wanted to maintain the passionate look this has so I layered it over red. You can achieve a cuter look by using a lighter pink base color and dark purple turns this into a bit more dramatic looking.

This is two coats of OPI Innie Minnie Mightie Bow, two coats of Oh Eric…!, a thin coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Formula is a normal indie glitter bomb. I had no issues with the application. I applied the first coat normally and the second coat I dabbed on to avoid too much glitter piling up on each other. This has a lovely glow to it and the color goes great for fall time too. And the name, I think we already figured out I love the name  LOL

Jindie Nails – Monster’s Ink

4

Yay! Regardless of the sleepy time madness that I mention on my last post I managed to write a second review of the day :D

This is a brand new Jindie Nails shade, Monster’s Ink. It’s so new it has only been available for pre-order for now. Jindie restock is coming up soon though so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Here’s how it’s described on Jindie Nails website “It has a bright yellow/green base similar to the color of Mike from Monsters Inc.:).  It has several fun glitters in it including matte light purple dots, matte dark purple diamonds, metallic violet medium dots, lilac holo large & medium dots, teal large dots, teal hex, squares and dots, light green metallic dots, magenta large & small squares, silver dots, mauve small squares, pastel pink matte dots, white dots and diamonds, lime green holo dots and hex, matte kelly green dots and diamonds and satin matte teal hex, micro slices and just a few satin matte teal stars”.

The formula was great and application was nice and smooth. There was no need for fishing or placing the glitters. The result was so smooth that I thought about not using Glitter Food at all. The base color is quite interesting too. It’s a very yellow-ish green, almost radioactive looking. This looks like it could glow in the dark, but it doesn’t, I checked  LOLVery unique and fun looking polish! I just love Jindie Nails ♥
This will be available soon at jindienails.com! Follow the news on FB and Jindie Nails blog.

Crazy Polish Lady – Summer Love

2

Hello lovelies! It’s a lovely, sunny Saturday here in Finland and I’m going to try and get two posts up for you today. I’m a bit behind on my reviews and blogging at the moment. My year and a half old has decided that it’s a great idea to first fight going to sleep for a nap and then on night time she likes to run around till 11 pm. We put the kiddos to bed around 9 pm and she fools around till 11 *sigh*. I need to get up every two mins to take her back to bed. So it’s pretty much impossible to get anything done before she passes out and by that time I’m usually too exhausted to even think about nail polish. Oh boy, I hope this sleeptime craziness passes soon.

Either way, here’s the gorgeous Summer Love by Crazy Polish lady. This is also from the limited edition Summer Is Up collection. I have previously reviewed a couple of other shades. This one is a white crelly polish with light blue and light pink glitter.

This is three thin coats with, Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The formula was a bit trickier than the usual Crazy Polish Lady formula. This was a little streaky on the first coat but evened out nicely on the second and third coat. I quite love how this looks. This is a summer collection polish but to me it looks perfect for winter too. This goes great for that time when you’re tired of all the dark fall colors and colorful Holiday manicures. Sun is shining on a snowy day and suddenly you feel a need to get something fresh and bright on your nails. This is that polish. It’ll make you think of a sweet ice cream cone on a hot summer day ;)

Crazy Polish Lady lives in Portugal and she ships internationally. She doesn’t have her own store yet but you can message her on her Facebook page or email her carvalho.sophie(@)gmail.com and place an order. Some of her polishes are now also available at Mei Mei’s Signatures.

Lynnderella – AquaMan Candy

0

Here’s more Lynnderella for you from the new “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection. This is AquaMan Candy, a stunning mix of glitter on a sheer base.

Here’s how Lynnderella describes this polish “AquaMan Candy is made with a cyan-shimmered cyan base saturated with cyan glitters with red, pink, white and green accents. Perfect for mermaids and mermen”.

This is two coats of Essie In The Cab-Ana, two coats of AquaMan Candy, a thin coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

AquaMan Candy applies perfectly. This is very packed with glitter so no fishing needed. There was also no need to place the glitter or even dab. I love the color combination on this one! Very unique and beautiful!

Try It On Tuesday: Essie – In The Cab-Ana

6

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.

Lynnderella – The Full Minty

4

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!
