Jindie Nails – Be Someone Cute

10

Is anyone actually surprised when I tell you I have another indie glitter for you today? ;) This blog seems to be turning into an indie polish blog and I love it LOL

Jindie Nails Be Someone Cute has tiny black, white and pink matte glitter on a sheer base with a cold pink flash. My eyes and camera can also pick up something purple-ish in there.

This polish is thin for a glitter polish and applies smooth as butter. This is sheer so I didn’t even try to get it opaque on my long nails. I decided to layer it with OPI Pedal Faster Suzi! cold pink shimmer polish. This has a good coverage though and I think it’ll be opaque on shorter nails with three thin coats. On the photos I have two coats of OPI Pedal Faster Suzi! and two thin coats of Be Someone Cute. I finished the manicure with a coat of Sally Hansen Diamond Shine top coat.

Be Someone Cute creates a fun effect on your nail and the tiny glitter is a cool change from all the chunky glitter bombs I’ve been wearing lately. This also looks great when you use it as an effect polish and only apply it to half of the nail.

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. Jindie Nails is also launching their own webstore which should be working by the next restock. Follow their FB-page for more information about that too.

ABC Challenge – I is for I’m Not Really a Waitress

32

Happy hump day everyone! It’s that time of the week again and this week it’s letter I. For this I chose another classic, OPI I’m Really Not a Waitress. This is an amazing berry red shimmer that really does glow on your nails. Applies smoothly and dries fast. Just perfection in a bottle!

I know I was supposed to do some nail art this week but again, this one is such a classic that I think it’s the most perfect on it’s own. I stared at my nails for a while but I couldn’t come up with anything that would’ve made this look even better. I just love a good red nail polish. It’s always classy and bold at the same time!

 

 

ABC Challenge – H is for Hare Polish Swanky Soiree

12

Hello my lovelies, I’m back! I’m still not completely over the influenza but I’m better. This one really kicked my butt though. Had high fever, trip to the hospital cos of breathing difficulties, bad cough, you name it. Also hubby and the kids were very sick too. It was a pretty bad week here but thankfully it now looks like we are all getting better.

So I’m late with my letter H post but better late than never, right? I wanted to do some nail art this week but just didn’t have the time or energy to do it so I chose a cool H polish from my unused pile. This is Hare Polish Swanky Soiree. Here I have three coats and next time I think I’ll layer it with grey creme and just use one coat. This is an awesome looking polish and glitter really pops. I love it! It an unusual combination but it really does work.

I have written a review of this polish before but I wasn’t quite happy with the photos so here we go with a few more new ones.

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.

The next restock is going to be tomorrow, Saturday Feb 23. at 12 pm CET. I believe Love Conquers All is also included in that restock. So if you have fallen in love with this one, I suggest you be there at your computer ready to click this baby in your shopping cart. Might be the last change ever ;)

 

My nails are on fire!

10

On last week’s ABC Challenge Meredith from Perfectly Polished did these pink nails with Color Club Snow-Flakes. I liked the way those looked and it inspired me to try Snow-Flakes with neon orange. I chose Color Club’s Wham! Pow! from their Poptastic collection and it was just perfect for this look.

For these nails I used three coats of Wham! Pow! and two coats of Snow-Flakes plus Inm Out The Door top coat. The result made my nails look like they were on fire. This was such a bright combination, especially outside in sunlight :D

 

 

 

ABC Challenge – G is for Gussied Up Green

42

Happy hump day everyone! It’s time for our weekly ABC Challenge again. We are already at the letter G. Time really flies when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? So for G is chose China Glaze Gussied Up Green. This amazing green is from the 2008 Rodeo Diva collection which is one of my all time favorite collections from China Glaze. I can’t be sure if this is my first ever green nail polish but I think this is the one that started my passion for green.

Gussied Up Green is deep dark green shimmer. It has a certain glow to it that makes me love it so much. This applies very well and two coats was enough for an opaque result. I was thinking about stamping over it but after I got it applied I changed my mine. This one is just perfect on it’s own!

 

 

 

BG Cosmetics – Kimber’s Korner

12

Here’s the second of my three Bitch Glitz indieglitters. This polish was created for Kimber from Kimber’s Lacquer Korner. Go check out her awesome blog!

Kimber’s Korner is a cobolt blue jelly packed with a lot of glitter. For a glitterbomb this applies quite smoothly and surprisingly thin. I have four thin coats here for these swatch photos cos I wanted to achieve the depth that comes with jelly finish (I LOVE jellies). I will also try layering this over blue creme or shimmer polish too. As you can see on the photos, there’s a lot going on with glitter again. My favorite is the turquoise glitter in it. I think it makes this extra unique.

I just love indie polishes and glitter! There’s no way around that ;D

 

 

Color Club – Cherubic

6

Today I have Color Club Cherubic for you. You already might have seen a photo of this on my yesterday’s post too. Cherubic is from Color Club’s 2012  Halo Hues collection. This collection had six holographic polishes. The holo effect is very strong on this one and top coat doesn’t reduce it at all. For this year Color Club is coming up with another six holoshades (YAY!) and you can have a little taste of what they look like on their Facebook-page.

Cherubic is nude/beige holo polish that applies nice and smooth. Dry time was also very fast. On this mani I used two coats of Cherubic and Inm Out The Door top coat. This time I didn’t have any base coat cos I have the UV-gel on my nails now.

I totally fell in love with this one! It’s just gorgeous and stunning! Now I’m obsessed about getting all the rest of these shades plus the ones that are coming out this year ;D

 

 

Jindie Nails – Love Conquers All

6

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Today I have a perfect polish for the day, Jindie Nails Love Conquers All. This is a white crelly polish with a lot of different kinds of glitter including different colored hearts. This looks a lot bumpier on the photo than it was IRL. The hearts came out of the bottle just fine, no fishing needed and on the photos I have two coats of polish on my nails plus Inm Out The Door. Unfortunately I was in a hurry doing my nails and I think if I had a little more time and patience applying this polish it would’ve ended with a lot smoother result. This polish most definitely deserves a revisit and new swatch photos at some point.

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.

Also my nails haven’t magically grown length overnight. Like I was explaining on Tuesday’s Nourish Me report post, I used UV-gel to make my nails stronger. Of course I got greedy too and added some length. I’ll  write a post about the gel applying process tomorrow.

 

 

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.
