Love, Angeline – Lunar Love

2

Today I have my first Love, Angeline polish to show you. I’ve seen some beautiful swatches of this around the internet and I just needed to add this bottle to my collection. I have to say Lunar Love is just as beautiful as I thought it would be. This is a very pale pink crelly with light blue shimmer and iridescent glitters.

Formula was a bit on the thick side but not too thick, no need for thinner or anything like that. I applied two normal coats and I noticed that if I tried to be too particular with the application the polish started dragging a bit. So I got the best result by applying this fast and not paying attention on the possible unevenness of the first coat. The second coat smooth everything out perfectly anyways. You also want to have enough polish on your brush instead of trying to make the coats too thin. Dry time was very quick with HK Girl fast drying top coat.

Lunar Love is such a beauty!

On the photos my nail shape is starting to be a little funny cos the gel layover growth line shows through the polish. There’s not much I can do about that right now since I’m trying to grow that layover out. I’m hoping to start swatching on my right hand soon. I’m also thinking about different nail art options for this kind of situation where you might want to hide the gel/acrylic growth line on your nails.

So for this manicure I used a coat of Essie Nourish Me, two coats of Lunar Love and HK Girl top coat.

I bought my bottle from Norway Nails.

Dollish Polish – Things Are Looking Very GRIMM

6

It’s a dark and rainy Sunday here in Finland so this is a perfect polish to show you today ;) Dollish Polish Things Are Looking Very GRIMM is inspired by the TV show Grimm. If you haven’t watched that show maybe you should cos … ummm … well cos Detective Nick Burkhardt is pretty easy on your eyes (and it’s a good show) :P

Things Are Looking Very GRIMM “blackened forest green jelly is loaded with varying shaped glitter, all in shades of green giving it a very mythical and forest like feel. It’s a perfect fit for the chaotic life of Detective Nick Burkhardt and his endless hunt for Wesen!”

Formula is good and easy to apply. Since this is a jelly it takes at least 3 coats for good result but you can always layer this over black or dark green polish too. I love the depth that comes with multiple coats so I hardly ever layer polishes like this over another color. This one is definitely worth the three coats. Just wow!! Amazing glow and depth! Totally as drool worthy as Detective Burkhardt is ;)

On this manicure I used three thin coats of Things Are Looking Very GRIMM with HK Girl top coat. Remember to turn the bottle upside down for a bit before application. That will help getting the bigger glitter pieces out easier.

Dollish Polish – It’s So Fluffy, I’m Gonna Die!

8

Dollish Polish polishes recently arrived to a Finnish webstore CesarsShop.fi and I received a few polishes to review too. Today I’ll show you the supercute It’s So Fluffy, I’m Gonna Die!

” A very pale pink crelly, loaded with tons of pink glass flecks and also has circles, hexagons and squares of every size and pink shade imaginable! This shades is so fluffy, you’ll wanna squish it to death!”

The formula on this was just perfect, smooth, glossy and self leveling. I LOVE this! When I swatched this I didn’t even want to take it off cos it was so cute and pretty! For the photos I applied three thin coats of It’s So Fluffy, I’m Gonna Die! and HK Girl top coat.

CND Vinylux Spring 2014

4

Today I have something to show you that was a totally new concept for me, CND Vinylux polishes.

“VINYLUX™ is a breakthrough polish system that endures a week of fashion perfection…without a base coat! Exposure to natural light secures the patent-pending technology, creating an enduring, long-lasting polish. While ordinary polishes become brittle and deteriorate over time, VINYLUX dries naturally to a flawless finish and strengthens its resistance to chips over time. VINYLUX is available in 71 fashion-forward polish colors and 60 colors that match popular CND Shellac™ shades.”

Since I have the gel layover on my nails I haven’t had opportunity to test these properly yet. I have now removed the layover from my right hand nails but they are in a horrible condition and paper thin so testing these on my nails wouldn’t be realistic either way at the moment. So this time I’m just going to show you swatches of these polishes and the test results blog post will follow in a near future.

I received five polishes for review but I’ve also seen the spring collection with six polishes. I really had no issues with application. All of these were a little streaky on the first coat and evened out nicely with the second one. They are also opaque with two to three thin coats. All photos are taken with Vinylux Weekly top coat.

 

Mint Convertible – two coats with Vinylux Weekly top coat.
Sun Bleached  – three coats with Vinylux Weekly top coat.
 
 
 
Desert Poppy – three coats with Vinylux Weekly top coat.
 
 
Clay Canyon – two coats with Vinylux Weekly top coat.
 
 
Sage Scarf – two coats with Vinylux Weekly top coat.

Jindie Nails – Just Say Glow

6

Hello lovelies! It’s already Tuesday again. Time just goes way too fast! I meant to get this post up a couple of days ago but it was such lovely weather during the weekend I just had to work on the yard as much as I could :) I have so much going on right now and things that need to get done asap. Without going to details I won’t be doing much yard work later this summer so I gotta get a lot of things done now :)

So I might be a couple of days behind on my schedule but here we go. This is another polish from the upcoming Jindie Nails Recover Me collection, Just Say Glow. I have previously shown you K.I.S.S. and the swatches of the rest of the collection can be found from Jindie Nails FB and IG (links at the end of the post).

Just Say Glow is “a semi-sheer gold toned rose pink polish with gold and copper shimmer and hexagons.  This one is pretty on its own and can be opaque in about 3 coats.  For a more subtle look, you can layer this over many colors for a pretty, golden shimmer and gold glitter/shimmer topper.”


I applied three coats of Just Say Glow alone. This looks amazing starting from the first coat. If you’d like to just have gorgeous shimmer and some glitters on your nails and don’t mind clearly visible nail line then one coat could be great for you. I think I’ll be wearing this with just one coat this summer. The look was so fresh and delicate that way. Three coats give you more opaque and glowing result. Again I like the glow and depth that comes with applying multiple coats of polish like this so I chose not to layer this over a creme. However I did test it that way too and it looked amazing over OPI Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around (from the Brazil collection).

Formula and application were flawless. For this manicure I used three coats of Just Say Glow and a coat of HK Girl top coat.

This is available right now at jindienails.com. International customers can find an authorized distributor here. You can also check out Jindie Nails social media sites on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for more swatches and latest news of amazing upcoming polishes and restocks!

Lynnderella – Snow Moon

2

It’s been a while since I had a Lynn to show you so here we go. This is Snow Moon and it was the first polish released from the Light Year collection. Lynnderella has come up with another way to release a collection. Light Year collection polishes will be released one at a time along the year 2014. I like this idea a lot! You can pick them polishes one at a time and collect the whole collection.

So Snow Moon was the first one to be released and it’s absolutely gorgeous.

“Snow Moon has white microglitter, translucent white moons and hexagons in a clear white-sparked base”.

Formula on this was excellent and it applies thin and smooth. I decided to layer it on a white shimmer cos I love white on white combinations but you can use this with any color you want. This polish is like fresh powder snow and it’s also sheer enough to allow the base color to show through beautifully if you use other color than white.

On this manicure I used two coats of Wet n Wild Break The Ice (white shimmer), two coats of Lynnnderella Snow Moon and HK Girl top coat.

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.

Delush Polish – Slice of Life collection

10

Today I have the whole Delush Polish Slice of Life collection to show you. This collection is inspired by TV-show Dexter. All of the polishes on this collection are jellies and I have no problem with that since I LOVE jelly polishes! These are very juicy and squishy. These create an awesome sandwich effect with the glitter and they practically glow!

All of these had a very good formula and application, I had no issues with them. They take 2-3 coats for a good result and for all but one of them just a coat of HK Girl was enough to smooth out the glitters.

 

Born In Blood (3 coats + HK Girl)

 

 Master of Disguise (2 coats + HK Girl)
 Dark Passenger (3 coats + HK Girl)
 Angel of Death  (3 coats + HK Girl)
 Time To Kill  (3 coats + HK Girl)
 Tonight’s The Night  (2 coats + 2 coat of HK Girl)
A Very Neat Monster  (3 coats + HK Girl)

Jindie Nails – You Mad, Bro?

14

Today I have another soon to be released Jindie Nails polish for you. This is You Mad, Bro? limited edition polish made to celebrate Seattle Seahawks and their Super Bowl win.

I LOVE this name! Makes me laugh every time. If you’re a football fan and were following the events leading to Super Bowl this year you probably know the story behind the name :D It was hard to miss the Richard Sherman show with tweets and after game explosions.

I’m not a Seahawks fan but I still love this polish and what’s not to love!? You Mad, Bro? is an insanely vibrant and bright lime green with a subtle holographic effect. Just stunning!!

Application was perfect and this is opaque with just two coats. Dry time was fast and removal nice and easy. This is two coats of You Mad, Bro? with HK Girl top coat.

Follow Jindie Nails FB page and IG for further information about the release date!

I’m also showing you my new nails. Supershort for me :O I decided it was time to get rid of the plastic extensions and grow my own nails back. I’m still keeping the thin UV-gel layover cos my nails are easily breaking and peeling. UV-gel helps me grow some length and keeps the shape of the nails pretty. The coat of gel is very thin and my nails still look and feel very natural.
