Jindie Nails – Barney Blew Up revisited

2

Barney Blew Up is the first Jindie Nails polish I bought. I managed to get it from the first restock it was available in and was sold out in a flash. I was so proud of my quick fingers :D I’ve taken photos of this one before but those are with shorter nails. So now I decided to photograph it again and now I have photos of all my Jindie polishes on my longer nails. On the pics I have three coats of Barney Blew Up, coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Crazy Polish Lady – Blood On The Dancefloor

2

Today I have a polish from a newer indie brand for you. Crazy Polish Lady is based in Portugal and they have released two collections by far. Colors Are The Music Of My Life is a collection of eight polishes with holographic micro-glitter. The shades on that collection are absolutely gorgeous and I was sold as soon as I saw the swatch photos. Memories In Colors is the recently released collection with six shades and there seems to be a couple of must haves on that one for me too.

I bought two polishes on my first order and here’s the first one. Blood On The Dancefloor is a deep blood red jelly/crelly with holographic micro-glitter. Formula was good and application was smooth. This was opaque with two coats and dry time was short. This dries a little gritty and dull so you’ll definitely need to use a top coat. Unfortunately the sun hasn’t been showing up too much here lately so I had to take the photos with the daylight bulbs. I think the holographic glitter would’ve photographed better with some sunlight. Either way I’m very happy with this polish. The slightly muted deep blood red color is gorgeous and dramatic. I loved the black little ribbon and the bow around the cap of the bottle and the printed label was very pretty too. Seems like all the details are well thought of :)

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. So if you’re into indie polish go check out this new brand. You might find something you like!

 

Jindie Nails – Barbie Is Dreaming (Mei Mei’s Signatures exclusive)

8

Hello my fellow polish enthusiasts! Today I have a new Jindie Nails, Barbie Is Dreaming for you. This polish is sold only on Mei Mei’s Signatures. Barbie Is Dreaming is a very pale pink crelly with a lot of glitter. This one is so very cute and girly. Colors are perfect for spring and summer too. Neon hexes, star shaped glitters in three different colors, etc. It’s just so much fun :D I really like the baby pink base on this one. Jen does these crelly bases so well :)

Barbie Is Dreaming applies like a normal indie glitter bomb, no issues here. There’s no need to fish for the glitter and even the stars come out of the bottle very easily. On the photos I have three coats of Barbie Is Dreaming, one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl Fast Drying + Super Shiny top coat.

So this one can only be bought from Mei Mei’s Signatures and there’s also many other exclusive shades from other indie brands. I just bought a couple of more myself the other day ;)

 

 

Jindie Nails – Snow Angels

6

Today I have yet another Jindie Nails polish to show you. What can I say, I’m hooked on these gorgeous glitter bombs :D This is Snow Angels, a lovely pale baby blue crelly packed with glitter. Like many other Jindie’s, the glitter in this is various shapes, sizes and colors all blended together into a perfect combo. I’m still wearing this as I type this post and I keep checking out my nails. I love the sparkle and color combination this polish has. Very beautiful!

Snow Angels is packed with glitter so you have to pay attention to the application. Application is not difficult though, just a usual indie glitter bomb type. Two coats was enough for my nails and the glitter came out of the bottle easily. Like my other Jindies this also dries pretty fast. On the photos I have two coats of Snow Angels, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl fast drying top coat.

I’ve also been thinking about maybe making a tutorial of how I apply these glitter polishes as well as a post about my favorite combination of products to achieve the best possible result.

You can purchase Jindie Nails polishes from their webstore that opens before next restock. You can also buy them from the Etsy-store (closed at the moment) as well as LlaroweMei Mei’s Signatures and Ninja Polish. You can find the latest restock and other info from their Facebook page.

Gloss ‘n Sparkle – Unicorn Droppings

6

Today I have an Australian indie brand Gloss ‘n Sparkle‘s Unicorn Droppings polish to show you. This is a gorgeous glitter polish that has colorful matte hex glitters on white shimmer base. This applied very well and was more opaque than I expected it to be. Two coats was enough and this also dried pretty quickly with a little help from Poshe fast drying top coat. I didn’t take the photos till the next day after the application so I added a coat of my brand new HK Girl top coat which added the intense shine you can see on the photos.

The rainbow colors on this make it a perfect color for spring and Easter time :)

I bought this from Shoppe Eclecticco. They have a great customer service and my orders have always been shipped super fast!

 

 

Jindie Nails – Princess Breath

4

Wow! It’s Monday again! Time goes so fast I feel like it’s Monday every other day instead of once a week. For me it’s not that bad though cos I’m staying at home with my two little girls so it’s like any other day for me really. Ok, enough with the babble and on to today’s polish which is the last of the three new Jindie Nails polishes I have to show you, Princess Breath. Ladies and possibly a few gentlemen, this is a stunner! So much shiny glitter on this one, it just sparkles on your nails. So beautiful! Another “I need a full size bottle” shade for me.

Princess Breath is a pale mint-y green crelly that applies very nice and smooth, no need to fish for the glitter either. I did turn the bottle upside down for a bit before application though. Two coats is enough for an opaque result but I added a thin third coat to get the shiny glitter to show. I press down with the brush just hard enough to wipe the polish off of those glitter pieces so you can really see them shine. To be able to do that you have to let the first two coats dry for a bit or the bigger glitter on the second coat starts dragging when you press the brush down harder. I really love this polish! This is the kind of a shade that can cause you to crash into things while staring at your nails and not looking where you going ;)

On the photo there is three coats of Princess Breath, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and Poshe fast drying top coat. Photos are taken with daylight bulbs since the sun decided not to show up at all while I was wearing this.

You can purchase Jindie Nails polishes from their webstore that opens before next restock. You can also buy them from the Etsy-store (closed at the moment) as well as LlaroweMei Mei’s Signatures and Ninja Polish. You can find the latest restock and other info from their Facebook page.

Jindie Nails – Happy Dance

2
Happy Saturday everyone! Today I have yet another Jindie Nails glitter for you. This is Happy Dance. White crelly based glitter polish that has bright red, turqoise, lavender, pastel mint-y green, purple and what not hex glitter in it along with some square glitter and turqoise bar glitter. This is another amazing one!

I have to admit, when I saw the bottle I just thought “nice” but I didn’t get super excited. Once I actually did a manicure with this I fell in love. This is such a fresh, bright and fun looking polish! Jen from Jindie Nails is a genius when it comes to creating these crelly based glitter bombs. I can’t think of anything that I’d change with this polish either. This one lives up to it’s name and is indeed a happy polish! It looks happy and makes me happy! Another reason why I love these indie glitters so much is that they are like “instant nailart”. Every nail is different and unique, your manicure is so alive and fun!

Happy Dance has an excellent formula. This applies thin and smoothly plus it dries fast. Crelly base is opaque enough to cover the nail line and sheer enough to leave the glitter showing through with a sandwich effect. The last coat also leaves the glitter showing nice and bright if you apply it thin enough. On this mani I used three thin coats of Happy Dance and Inm Super Fast Drying Top Coat. I have a UV-gel coating on my nails to protect them so I have no need for a base coat.

You can purchase Jindie Nails polishes from their Etsy-store (closed at the moment) as well as LlaroweMei Mei’s Signatures and Ninja Polish. You can find the latest restock and other info from their Facebook page. Jindie Nails is opening their new online store in a near future.

Dollish Polish – Penny…. Penny…. Penny…

10
I placed a small order with Dollish Polish at the end of February and got myself Penny…. Penny…. Penny… from the Bing Bang Theory collection and I also got This Pop, Rocks! a glitterbomb that looks like a lot of fun. I decided to try Penny…. Penny…. Penny… first. The name of this polish and the thought of Sheldon knocking on Penny’s door makes me smile and giggle every time ;)

This polish has milky, peachy base with peachy/pink-ish/copper-y shimmer and copper glitter. Penny…. Penny…. Penny… is so beautiful and delicate looking! I’d use the words “nude with a twist” to describe this shade. The formula is excellent. This applies oh so smoothly and dries fast. This has a very reasonable amount of glitter so the removal operation is a easy peasy. On the photos I have three coats of Penny…. Penny…. Penny… and Inm Out The Door top coat. If you have shorter nails, you can easily get away with just two coats.

You can buy Dollish Polish from their store. Of course Penny…. Penny…. Penny… is sold out at the moment so I suggest you follow the store news and/or their FB-page for further information about the next restock date. I can also do a quick post about that when information is available.

Jindie Nails – Taste Like Snozberries

10
Today I have the second new Jindie Nails polish out of the three, Taste Like Snozberries. This is also crelly based as well as Rave. Lovely light purple crelly base has a tons of different kinds of glitter. This sparkles a lot more IRL than my photos show. Unfortunately sun refused to come out well enough to get the proper sunlight photos of this one. This was also quite difficult to capture true to color, but I think I got pretty close. Real life this is a pretty bright light purple. It’s like bottled blueberry yogurt with a hint of neon and a fistful of glitter ;D

Application was normal good Jindie glitter. I didn’t have any problems with this. Dry time was also short. As usual I turned the bottle upside down for a bit and rolled it gently for a few times before application. On the photos I have three thin coats of Taste Like Snozberries, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and a coat of Inm Super Fast Drying top coat.

Jindie Nails – Rave

14

Hello my lovelies! It’s Monday once again! I spent yesterday celebrating my daughter’s 3rd birthday. The party was two weeks late cos of the influenza, but better late than never. We had fun and I ate way too much cake. We still have a ton of leftovers so I’ll probably eat too much cake today too ;D

Today I have another Jindie Nails polish for you, this time it’s Rave. This is one of the three new shades and I have Taste Like Snozberries and Princess Breath to show you too later this week. Rave is a white crelly with a lot of neon hexglitter in different sizes and colors. There’s also magenta circle glitter in two different sizes. This polish has both matte and metallic shine glitter in it. This is such a bright, fun polish and it almost looks like splatter nails to me.

The formula is normal, good Jindie formula. Easy to apply and no special tricks needed. I did turn the bottle upside down and rolled it a few times before starting the application. After this glitter came out just fine, no fishing needed. On the photo I have three coats of Rave, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and a coat of Inm Super Fast Drying top coat. This didn’t necessarily need Glitter Food, but I like the silky smooth surface it creates so I use it with most of my glitter polishes now. Dry time was normal. I can’t say much about the wear time since I have the gel coating on my nails and that helps any polish to stay good for at least two weeks without chipping.

Removal was the normal glitter removal process. Since I have the UV-gel coating on to protect my nails I have figured out a new way to remove glitter polishes. First I take acetone free nail polish remover and remove all the polish that comes off easily. Then I wet the surface of the nail and remaining glitter pieces using a little more nail polish remover. After that I take a metallic cuticle pusher and simply push the glitter off the nail. I do this one nail at a time. After all the glitter is pushed off I wipe the possible remains off with polish remover and then I’m done. This doesn’t seem to damage the UV-gel at all. I don’t need to waste a ton of polish remover and cotton pads rubbing off the glitter. The best thing of all,  I don’t need to soak my nails and skin in acetone. I do NOT recommend this method to natural nails since you might end up damaging the surface of your nails. I can do a quick tutorial post with photos/video of this method if my explanation wasn’t clear enough.
