Jindie Nails – Candy Land (Original)

0

Today I have a classic Jindie Nails polish for you, Candy Land (Original). This must be one of the most famous Jindie Nails polishes and for a good reason. It’s just awesome! White crelly polish with a lot of different size hex glitters in several neon colors. It’s so bright and fun!

This is three thin coats of Candy Land (Original), a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

I have read that some people had issues with the application but I experienced none. White crelly base applied very smoothly and evenly. I turned the bottle upside down for a bit before application and rolled it lightly. The neon glitter is very thin and sometimes the pieces get stuck together. If a big lump of glitter comes out of the bottle I just drop it back in there and dip the brush again. That way I had absolutely no trouble with the application.

Such a pretty polish!

I have a lot of Jindie Nails swatches coming up soon. Just received several bottles today, including some of the new summer shades and I’m gonna start working on the swatches asap :D

Delush Polish – Finding Mr. Bright

0

It’s Mondaaaayyyyyy! I hope everyone gets a great start to their week :) Today I have a gorgeous Delush Polish pretty for you. This is Finding Mr. Bright from the new Bombastic Summer Love collection. This is very shimmery bright light green polish. I adore this shade and it’s just meant to be worn on a hot summer day!

This is three thin coats of Finding Mr. Bright and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Finding Mr. Bright applies really smoothly. Two coats was already opaque and the third coat created a perfect finish. I totally love this polish and can’t wait to try out the other Delushies I got from this same collection.

You can find Delush Polish website here and you can also follow in Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

ABC Challenge – Y is for yellow

12

Only one day late this time :D Hopefully I get the last ABC post up in time next week. Wow, I just can’t believe we are almost done with this challenge. I’d be super upset if we didn’t have another really cool one waiting for us in a near future. Our group is so much fun and I’ve got to know some amazing ladies along these few months :)

This Y week kinda sneaked up on me. I have been under an impression that I have plenty of Y polishes and I’m covered for that. Now that the week is finally hear none of my Y polishes really called my name. Not even the untried ones. Bleh! So I decided to go with an oldie but goodie. Color Club Volt Of Light is the only well behaving yellow I own. It is very sheer though and requires at least three coats. But I don’t see that as a huge problem since it also applies really thin. This is a neon shade and dries semi-matte.

This is three coats of Color Club Volt Of Light with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Volt Of Light has a lot of fine green shimmer and it kinda reminds me of those neon yellow markers that you use to highlight parts of text in your school books. IRL this is screaming bright neon and really glows! This would also make a great base for some nail art. I’m just so busy with all the house stuff that I left it be and just enjoyed the super bright neon yellow on it’s own.

 

ABC Challenge – X is for Xixabangma

4

My X post is late but better late than never :P The letter X seemed to be a problem for many. I already got one polish for this week quite a while ago and right after ordering that one I ran into this polish on Elevation Polish webstore. I mean it’s green, it has beautiful subtle shimmer and the name was really awesome so I just had to get it right away :D

This is two coats of Elevation Polish Xixabangma with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Xixabangma has a thick-ish formula that applies really well and is opaque in two coats. This might even be a one coater for shorter nails. Dry time was quick. I just love Elevation Polish. Gorgeous colors with really unique names. I need to get more of these in my life :)
Elevations Polish beauties can be bought from their webstore.

OPI -A Definite Moust-Have

4

Hello my lovelies, I’m back! We have moved and things are starting to calm down. Still plenty to do around here and this place is gonna keep us busy for a lot longer. I’m trying to get back to my almost daily post rhythm and it actually felt really good to start taking swatch photos again :) I broke a few nails during the moving process but I fixed them with plastic tips and UV-gel. Photos of those accidents and fixed nails can be found from my Instagram. I should also be all caught up with answering the comments and e-mails now :)

So on to today’s polish. This is OPI A Definite Moust-Have from the Couture de Minnie collection. I bought the whole collection from Glisten & Glow’s online store. I’m a sucker for red nails and if I could only choose one color to wear for the rest of my life it would most likely be red. It’s just always so classic and sexy.

This is two coats of A Definite Moust-Have and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

A Definite Moust-Have applied like a dream and was opaque with two coats. Dry time was also short with a little help from HK Girl Fast Drying & Super Shiny top coat. This is such a perfect color for summer. I’m absolutely in love with this shade! There’s also a very subtle shimmer in this that is visible in sunlight.

 

ABC Challenge – W is for Walking Dead

16

Happy hump day! I’ve been wanting to wear this polish for quite a while now but I decided to save it for W week :) This is one of Ketlyn’s awesome creations, BG Cosmetics Walking Dead. This is the first BG polish I got interested in and it’s cos of this polish that I got to know Ketlyn :) I know there’s also a few fellow Walking Dead TV-show fans here on our little group so let’s all take a deep breath now and think about Daryl Dixon. Ok, got that out of our systems and now we can continue with the polish ;)

This is three thin coats of Walking Dead, a coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Walking Dead is described as “An opaque mossy green, filled with black glitter and speckled with red hexagonal glitter” on BG Cosmetics website. This applied well and three thin coats was enough for opaque result. I didn’t really need to use Glitter Food with this one but I did so anyways. I think that adds a little depth and smoothness to the finish. I quite like the color combination and this is definitely unique in my collection. And of course, you gotta love the name!

Now I’m off to paint some more walls again.

Crazy Polish Lady – Cinderella Shoe

2

Hello my lovelies! I’ve been crazy busy again and haven’t been able to post daily. We are getting the house renovation project done this month and we are getting ready to move soon. So much to do still and I think that I might not be able to blog as much as I wanted for a little bit longer. Already trying to come up with a plan of how to move all my precious polish bottles and cosmetics safely ;) We are in a lucky enough situation not to have to move everything in one or two days so I can take my time and get everything there in one piece, hopefully…

Enough with the babble, let’s talk about today’s polish. This is another pretty creation from Portuguese indie brand Crazy Polish Lady. Cinderella shoe is from her second collection called “Memories in Colors”. This has a lot of white hex glitter and smaller holographic glitter on a clear base and this is meant to be used with a base color. You can practically wear this with any color you can imagine. I layered it with two Crazy Polish Lady shades I have previously reviewed Strawberry Swing and Cosmic Love.

I used a sponge to do a gradient over Strawberry Swing. I really loved how this turned out. The glitter pieces also laid flat enough and I didn’t need to use Glitter Food to smooth it out. This is two coats of Strawberry Swing, couple of coats of Cinderella Shoe sponged and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Next I tried this with Cosmic Love. I sponged a reversed gradient on three fingers and on the ring finger I applied two regular coats on a whole nail. So this is two coats of Cosmic Love, two regular coats on the ring finger and two coats sponged gradient on the three other nails plus  G & G HK Girl top coat.
Application was good and glitter came out of the bottle easily. I really like the white glitter and the holographic glitter gives this polish a lovely sparkle.
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. Her first collection is now also available at Mei Mei’s Signatures.

a england – Dragon

0

I bought this beautiful polish from a england a few months ago, right before the infamous RM fiasco. Dragon is a stunning green polish with scattered holo effect. For me, as a green polish lover this is a must have!

 

Dragon has a great formula. Application is smooth as butter and for longer nails two coats is enough for opaque result. For shorter nails this might even be a one coater. Dry time was also short with G & G HK Girl Fast Drying + Super Shiny top coat.

This and other a england beauties can be bought online from a england website if you live in UK and if you don’t live in UK click here to find the online store most suitable for you.

 

ABC Challenge – U is for Under the Sea

14

Time really keeps going way too fast at the moment. I feel like it’s always Wednesday and time for our weekly challenge post. I’m still super busy with the house renovation and I just really want everything to be done already. We are supposed to move in about 3 weeks. We’ll see how that goes ;)

I didn’t have too many choices for U and none of the old polishes really called my name. Instead this new purchase I was dying to try so this week I have another Crazy Polish Lady shade for you. This time it’s Under the Sea from the “Memories in Colors” collection. This is a pale aqua green crelly with turquoise, light green and white glitter. I really love the soft base color and (even if I really love my glitter bombs) it’s a nice change that this isn’t crazy packed with glitter.

This is two normal coats of Under the Sea and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Under the Sea applies really nice and smooth. Two coats is enough for opaque result and dry time is very short. Like most crellys this one also creates a lovely sandwich effect. I have been impressed with every Crazy Polish Lady polish I have tried by far. Excellent quality!

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.
