Different Dimension – Money

4

I got the new Echoes collection from Different Dimension. This collection has six amazing shades, both glitter toppers and polishes you can wear alone. Echoes is inspired by Pink Floyd. I’m a little ashamed to admit I don’t know too many Pink Floyd songs but this collection has actually inspired me to go listen to a few.

I’ll show you these polishes one by one and in the end I’ll do a recap post with the whole collection. I’m gonna start with Money. This pale green crelly has a lot going on when it comes to glitter but everything goes together perfectly. I love green polish and the sparkling glitter in this polish made me stare at my nails and just sigh cos Money looked so beautiful.

 

Money has a good formula and it was easy to apply smoothly. I turned the bottle upside down for a bit before application and between each coat to help to get the bigger glitter circles out. Crelly base on Money is thin and sheer enough to create an awesome sandwich effect. This polish has great depth and glow.
This was three thin coats of Money, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl Fast Drying + Super Shiny top coat.
Different Dimension polishes can be bought from their Etsy-store, they ship internationally. Their polishes are also sold at Llarowe, Mei Mei’s Signatures, Edgy Polish and Ledouxnuage.
Different Dimension can be found from Facebook and Instagram. Be sure to follow for latest news and swatch photos :)

Jindie Nails – Princess Consuela Banana Hammock

0

I have a habit of saving  the best for last. It could be food on my plate, candy in a bag or in this case, nail polish. Looking at bottle and swatch photos of Jindie Nails Spring Chic collection Princess Consuela Banana Hammock was the most interesting to me. I mean bright yellow glitter bomb! How can you not love that?

This is how this beauty is described on Jindie Nails website: “PCBH is a bright neon yellow crelly with a mix of matte satin red, orange, neon pink, neon orange, neon dark orange hex plus matte red tiny red stars.  Opaque in 2-3 coats”. Sounds great, right? And then there’s the awesome name :D Maybe some of you wonder what that is about. I love the tv show Friends. That show never gets old and watching it always puts me in a good mood :) Princess Consuela Banana Hammock is a name that Phoebe changed her name into in one of those funny, funny episodes. So enough with the babble and on with the photos…

This is three thin coats of Princess Consuela Banana Hammock, one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Princess Consuela Banana Hammock’s formula is a bit on the thinner side so application was really easy. I turned the bottle upside down before application and in between of applying each coat to get the glitter out easily. The stars took a little bit of fishing but all the other glitter pieces came out nicely.

I had high hopes for this polish and it really met all my expectations. The color combination is great and just screams summer! Usually yellow polishes are such pain in the butt to apply and the end result is hardly ever worth the trouble. That’s not the case with this polish. Application was easy and the end result is definitely worth fishing for some stars ;)

ABC Challenge – S is for Strawberry Swing

26

For this week I had a plenty of choices but I was also dying to try out my new Crazy Polish Lady polishes. Luckily one of them is called Strawberry Swing ;) This is from the “Colors are the music of my life” collection which has eight awesome shades.

 

Strawberry Swing is pink perfection in the bottle! Application is flawless. I hardly even needed to do any clean up. Two coats is enough for opaque result. This is packed with holographic micro-glitter so it dries a little rough and top coat is definitely needed. I absolutely LOVE this color! Bright, clean pink without being neon and the micro-glitter gives it the extra little twist of goodness.

I have previously tried two other polishes from this collection and both had the same excellent quality and formula this one has. 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.

 

Jindie Nails – Fun Intended

2

I have two more polishes to show you from the new Spring Chic collection from Jindie Nails and here’s the first of those two, Fun Intended. Here’s how it’s described on Jindie Nails website: “Fun Intended is a bright pastel neon pink crelly with a mix of neon pink, neon orange, metallic silver, metallic orange, metallic magenta & tiny white stars, hex, short bars & dots plus neon pink butterflies”. This will also be available without the stars later on.

 

Fun Intended is super cute and glossy bubblegum pink glitter bomb. I absolutelty adore this! It’s so girly and the color combination is just delicious. I’m a big fan of star shaped glitter so different colored stars in this are just perfection for me. Fun Intended applies well and glitter pieces come out of the bottle easily as long as you remember to turn it upside down for a bit before application.

Delush Polish – Opalesque

4

I recently placed my first order with indie brand Delush Polish and my pretties arrived in about a week.  Today I have the first one of the two, Opalesque to show you. This is a pale mint-y crelly with opalescent glitters and beautiful subtle shimmer.

 

I’m really impressed with the quality of this polish. The application was absolutely flawless and two coats was enough for opaque result. This applied so smoothly that I didn’t even need to use Glitter Food and I use that with 95% of my glitter polishes.

On the photos I have two coats of Opalesque and HK Girl top coat.

This was my first Delush Polish order but I can already tell you it wasn’t the last. Delush Polish has an Etsy store and they ship internationally. You can also follow Delush Polish on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Jindie Nails – Nude Beach

0

Happy Saturday everyone :) Today I have Jindie Nails Nude Beach for you. This one is again in from the new Spring Chic collection and will be available without the star shaped glitter later on. Jen describes this as “Nude crelly base with a mix of metallic sand colored sparkling hex,  iridescent hex, matte white hex & tiny stars plus and abundance of neon orange, neon blue, neon pink, neon purple, neon green & neon yellow hex in several  sizes”.

I’m so sorry about my dry, horrible cuticles on this photo. Removing old wall papers, constantly washing my hands, having paint all over my hands, etc. has really done it’s job. I spent last night drowning my hands in lotion, cuticle balm and oils. Maybe today I actually will remember to wear gloves :P

 

 

Nude Beach applies well and as long as you remember to turn the bottle upside down for a bit before application all the glitter comes out easily. I really like the sand-y nude base color with neon glitters.

This photo doesn’t really do this polish any justice and I will be revisiting this one later on. I filed some length off my nails and now I feel like they are a little bit too short for my taste :P So new photos coming when my nails grow back a little and my cuticles look a little less like sandpaper.

Jindie Nails – HipStar

2

Today I have another polish from the new Spring Chic collection, HipStar. Jindie Nails website description for this polish says that it’s “Periwinkle crelly with a mix of neon pink, neon purple, metallic silver hex, stars & dots”. This will also be available without the stars later on. HipStar was another winner for me! Color combination is great and I love the soft base color.

 

HipStar has a good formula and application was easy. Just remember to turn the bottle upside down and shake it lightly before application and the glitter pieces come out just fine. For this manicure I used three thin coats of HipStar, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl Fast Drying + Super Shiny top coat.

Jindie Nails – Mango with the Flow

0

TGIF! Let’s continue with another new Jindie Nails shade, Mango with the Flow. This is another shade from the new Spring Chic collection and here’s how Jen descripes it: “pastel peach crelly (cream/jelly) with metallic silver hex, blue & purple iridescent hex, lime green/gold iridescent hex”. The base color is just lovely and also has subtle shimmer in it. I’m in love with the iridescent glitters. They give this one such delicate look. I’d love to see a polish like this with just iridescent glitter. I bet it would give me magical, sparkling fairy fingers ;D

 

Application is the typical glitter bomb, not difficult but requires some attention. Some of the iridescent glitters got stuck together and I used an orange wood stick to pick them apart a little. That’s not an issue with me, I often do that to spread out the bigger glitter pieces anyways. Mostly this applied very smoothly.

For this I used three thin coats of Mango with the Flow, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl top coat. This one didn’t want to let me capture all her prettiness but the close up photo show some of the glowing iridescent glitter quite nicely.

Jindie Nails – Fantastical

0

I just received the Jindie Nails Spring Chic collection and I’m so excited to show you guys these pretties! Here’s the first one of the six polishes in this collection, Fantastical. There’s so much going on glitter wise that I just use Jen’s own description of this polish: “Bright, pastel coral crelly (cream/jelly) with a mix of satin matte aqua hex and regular sized stars, metallic and holographic teal smaller sized stars, squares, hex and large dots, turquoise, green/gold iridescent hex, plus beautiful color shifting teal shimmer”.

 

This is truly unlike anything in my collection and the color combination is quite interesting. In the bottle this looks a little dull but on the nails, just wow! The crelly base color is so fresh and summer-y looking. This is a little bit on a thin side for a glitter bomb and application was just flawless. No need to fish for the glitter, even the stars came out easy. I did turn the bottle upside down for a bit before starting to use it. This was three coats but it was almost opaque already on two. Based on the bottle pics I didn’t expect to like this as much as I do. It’s always nice to be pleasantly surprised :) This is a perfect shade for my skin tone and will look awesome when my hands are a little tanned during summer.

For this mani I used: three thin coats of Fantastical, coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl top coat.

I also have good news for those of you who don’t like the star shaped glitter in your polish. This will be available without the stars in a near future along with some other Jindie Nails shades.

Crazy Polish Lady – No Leaf Clover

2

Last Saturday I showed you my first polish Blood On The Dancefloor from new indie brand Crazy Polish Lady. Today I have the other polish I got in the same order, No Leaf Clover. This is an awesome lime green crelly with holographic micro-glitter. I absolutely love both of these polishes I got. No Leaf Clover is such fun, delicious and bright color! Reminds me of Granny Smith apples :D

No Leaf Clover applies perfectly. Two coats is enough for opaque result and dry time is short. Again I didn’t have any sunlight to photograph this with so photos are taken with daylight bulbs. On the photos I have two coats of No Leaf Clover and a coat of HK Girl top coat.

Crazy Polish Lady doesn’t have a webstore yet but she has a blog and FB-page. To order you can contact her in FB and prices with photos are available also on her blog. She ships internationally and my package was shipped right away. She has released two gorgeous collections. They are worth checking out, I promise you that much ;)
