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.

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.

Polish Addict Nail Color – Pretty Zombie

0

Today I have another shade from Polish Addict Nail Color for you. This is Pretty Zombie and trust me, you want to scroll all the way down to see all the photos of this one ;)

Pretty Zombie is a lovely mix of glitter on a peachy pink crelly/jelly base. I love the base color. It’s just perfect for summer and perfect for my skintone!

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

 

 

This applied perfectly and smoothly. Base color wasn’t streaky or balding at all and the glitter lays nice and flat. Great quality on this one too!

And here’s the coolest part….

 

 

IT GLOWS IN THE DARK! :D How freakin’ awesome does that look!?

Polish Addict Nail Color – Beach Cabana

2

TGIF and I have just the polish to put you on that relaxed sunny summer weekend mood :D This is Polish Addict Nail Color indie brand’s Beach Cabana. A colorful blend of neon purple, neon pink and neon green glitter on a nude crelly base.

On this mani I used three thin coats of Beach Cabana, coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Beach Cabana applies perfectly and the crelly base is smooth and even looking on the first coat. The great formula made it very easy to build up the sandwich effect with three coats.

This was my first experience with Polish Addict Nail Color and I’m very happy with the quality. Polish is beautiful, formula is perfect and application was flawless. Now I can’t wait to try the other colors sitting on my “to be swatched” shelf :D

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.

Crazy Polish Lady – Sand in My Flip-flops

7

Here’s Sand in My Flip-flops, another shade from the new limited edition Summer Is Up collection by Crazy Polish Lady. The glitter-mix on this is quite similar to the one on Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and the base is a lovely neutral sand-y beige. I love the combination of colorful glitter and soft, nude crelly base. This is a very fun looking polish without being too in your face :)

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

 

The formula is absolutely fabulous. Application is smooth, flawless and opaque in just two coats. Glitter applies evenly and no fishing needed. Perfect! If you haven’t tried any of Sophie’s polishes yet, you’re missing out! Each and every one I have tried have been nothing short of excellent!

Jindie Nails – 1 Year Anniversary Duo

0

Jindie Nails had their first anniversary on July 16th. To celebrate the occasion Jen created the Anniversary Duo that is nothing short of awesome. I know I always say this BUT I absolutely love these polishes :D

Let’s start with the blue one, Anniversary Seaquins. This has an amazing dusty, smoky blue base packed with shimmer and all kinds of glitter. Application was just perfect. No issues at all. To my surprise this was almost opaque on two coats. I did apply the third one though. The base color is just beautiful and will be great for fall and winter too. This is the kind of the shade you can wear a year round.

This is three thin coats of polish and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Gorgeous, right?

Aaaand then there is the magnificent Purple Universary. I LOVE circle glitter and jellies so you can imagine my joy when I saw the first bottle shots not to mention actually holding the bottle. This is so amazing! The deep purple, true jelly base and all that circular glitter. Aaaahh! This is definitely on the top three of the most beautiful polishes I own. This is like universe on your nails.

The application on this was also perfect. No problems and all the glitter came out of the bottle easily, no fishing needed. This is three coats and it looks gorgeous but for the next time I wear this I have an application game plan ;) I’ll do first coat without any glitter, second with glitter, thin third coat without again and then the last one with glitter. That’ll help me build even more depth to this stunning beauty :)

So this is three coats of Purple Universary with Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

Crazy Polish Lady – Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

4

Today I have a new Crazy Polish Lady shade for you from her limited edition Summer is Up collection. This is Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, a yellow crelly with multicolored glitter. The yellow shade is nice and smooth looking. This is kinda like banana ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. Pretty and sweet :D

This is three thin coats of Yellow Polka Dot Bikini with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Application was as perfect as it has been with all the Crazy Polish Lady polishes I have tried. For a yellow polish application was just great, no dragging or balding. The result is smooth enough that there was really no need for Glitter Food. I used three coats but two will be enough for shorter nails. Great shade for summer and springtime :)

Jindie Nails – Strawberry Cupcake

4

Here’s an older Jindie Nails shade for a change. This is the lovely Strawberry Cupcake. It was released in 2012 Winter collection.

This is how it’s described on Jindie Nails website “It has a pastel pink crelly base with an assortment of shaped glitters like round, square and hex in teal, matte pastel lavender, metallic berry, matte grape, metallic turquoise, matte pastel aqua, matte white, metallic deep teal, metallic lavender and periwinkle.  It also has a gorgeous aqua/turquoise shimmer.  Opaque in 2-3 coats and meant to be worn on its own”.


Strawberry Cupcake is absolutely adorable and such a cute, girly shade. For some reason the shade seems to lean a bit to purple-ish against my skin tone.

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

 

Strawberry Cupcake applies very smoothly and evenly. Glitter comes out of the bottle without any problems.  I just absolutely love the color combination on this!
