Emily De Molly – Girls Best Friend

6

Happy Women’s Day to all you lovely ladies!

What would be a better color for this day than bright feminine pink? This is my first Emily De Molly polish but it certainly won’t be the last, I love this! Girls Best Friend is a bright pink jelly with holographic glitter. This applies oh so smoothly and dries very fast. There’s also no need to fish for the glitter. Just turn the bottle upside down for a bit before applying the polish. On the photo I have three coats of polish and Inm Top coat. I could’ve easily applied a fourth coat and the result would’ve still been nice and smooth. This polish is so pretty and the quality is amazing! I love these jellyglitters cos I can get a sandwich effect just by using one polish.

I got this from Shoppe Eclecticco (they ship internationally). At this time most of the Emily De Molly polishes are sold out. You can follow the shop’s Facebook-page for further information about the next restock time. This was my second order from this store and I can really recommend them. Customer service is great and my order arrived in about a week.

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 – 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 ;)

 

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

 

 

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.

 

 

Jindie Nails – Barney Blew Up

10

Surprise, surprise it’s indie glitter polish time again! Lately I’ve gone head over heels crazy over indie brands and especially glitter polishes. I hope you like to see these as much as I do :)

This amazing glitter overdose polish is Jindie Nails Barney Blew Up. Just the name was so cute and appropriate that I just had to have this and it is unlike anything else in my collection. Very pale lilac crelly base has a ton of different kinds of glitter pieces. There’s squares, hex glitter, bigger hex glitter, hearts and what not. It’s a wonderful, cute and spring-y glitter explosion on your nails. It might be the green hex glitter that makes me think of spring.

This is your typical indie glitter, a bit on the thick side but not impossible at all to apply. I started by applying one normal coat of Barney Blew Up on top of my base coat and let it dry for a bit. I turned the bottle upside down while waiting so it would be easier to fish out the bigger glitter pieces. After the first coat had dried for a bit I went hunting for the bigger hex pieces and the hearts. I placed those on my nails and added a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and Inm Out The Door top coat.

Jindie nails is quite a popular brand and you can purchase their 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.

 

 

BG Cosmetics – Chocolate Treasure

10

BG Cosmetics aka Bitch Glitz is a new indie brand that makes nail polish among other things. I saw swatch photos of Chocolate Treasure in several blogs and it looked so delicious that I just had to order it myself too. Chocolate Treasure is one of the three polishes from their Valentine’s collection. This one did not disappoint me IRL either. The shade is amazing chocolate brown and it makes me feel like I want to taste it :D The different color, size and shape glitters look great in this one and I especially like the bigger turquoise ones. The formula is a bit on the thick side but still very easy to apply. Two coats was enough for opaque result. The glitter came out of the bottle very easily and there was no need for fishing for it or keeping the bottle up side down first. This dries a little rough cos of all the glitter but just a coat of top coat helps a lot. I also used a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food with this. Dry time was normal with Inm Out The Door.

You can buy BG Cosmetics products from their store. BG Cosmetics also gives out this info about their nail polishes “All polishes are 3 Free and 15 ml bottles. They are all made with diamond dust for added chip resistance and longevity”. So click on the link and go check out their store!

 

 

Nail Pattern Boldness – Is Someone Loving You?

6
I got this stunning glitter polish from Nail Pattern Boldness indie brand. Is Someone Loving You? is one of the four polishes from their brand new Valentine’s collection called Hello?. This polish has a lot of pink and holographic microglitter, bigger pink circle glitter, smaller square glitter and holographic butterflies (OMG!!!) on a clear base. This polish is STUNNING! So delicate and beautiful! I’m bummed out about my nails being so short at the moment. How gorgeous would this look on longer nails *deep sigh*

I also got their highly praised top coat Glitter Food. Many bloggers are totally in love with this top coat and for a good reason. I’m going to test this out with few more glitter polishes and then write my review of it with some example photos. I can already tell you it really works though. I tried it with this polish and only used it on my left hand nails with a coat of Inm Out The Door on top of everything. On the right hand I only used Inm Out The Door and the difference is noticeable. Left hand Glitter Food nails have much more depth in them, glitter is shinier and the surface is smooth. Right hand nails look flat, duller and you can feel the glitter through Inm alone. Using Glitter Food also didn’t make the dry time for the manicure any longer.

In this mani I used Essie Nourish Me x1, Essie Beam Me (whitening base coat) x1, Color Club Sugar Rush (sheer pink with a cold toned pink flash), Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food x1 and Inm Out The Door super fast dry top coat.

You can buy Nail Pattern Boldness polishes from their Etsy store. You should also “Like” their Facebook page to get the latest news and restock info. At the moment the Hello? collection is sold out but I believe there is going to be a restock next week. I’m sure the dates and time will be announced on their FB page.

Hare Polish – Midsummer’s Midnight

8

It’s time to continue my adventures in the wonderland that is indie polish. This time I have HARE Polish Midsummer’s Midnight for you. This is a glitter polish with multicolored, shaped and sized glitter on a dark sheer-ish base. This is totally awesome!! I especially fell in love with the square glitter in it. Yet another beautiful and unique addition to my polish collection.

In this manicure I used one coat of black Color Club Where’s The Soiree? and two coats of HARE Midsummer’s Midnight plus a coat of Inm Out The Door. I think you can get away with just three coats of Midsummer’s Midnight alone but I wanted to use black base to really make the glitter pop. This was easy and even to apply and glitter went on the nail nice and smooth without extra work. I was very happy with the quality of this one. This was my first HARE Polish but I can already tell it won’t be the last ;)

I bought this from Shoppe Eclecticco. This was my first experience with this store and it was a very positive first experience. I got answer to my question about restock for other brands within minutes via email (this of course must depend on the time of the day when you send your question). The order itself was deliver to Finland in a week. Great service in my opinion! Thanks!
