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)

This is part of the upcoming Recover Me collection and later this week I’m going to show you another gorgeous polish I got to swatch from this collection. You can read the idea and inspiration behind this collection from Jindie Nails website.

“K.I.S.S. is a barbie pink cream/jelly loaded with copper and bronze shimmer, copper flecks, sparks of small scarlett hexagons and pink/gold shimmer.”

K.I.S.S. applies smooth as butter and was opaque with two coats. This dries nice and smooth and the top coat brings out the beautiful shine. I love how subtle the glitter is in this and the shimmer gives it a beautiful glow in real life. Very pretty and girly looking polish!

On the photos I have two coats of K.I.S.S. with HK Girl top coat.

Welcome to Finland Dollish Polish! and revisiting Penny…Penny…Penny…

10

Dollish Polish pretties have just arrived to their new Finland stockist CesarsShop. To celebrate that I’m revisiting one of my favorites Penny…Penny…Penny…

I have the old bottle since (if I remember correctly) I got this from the first restock when this became available. After over a year my bottle is still in perfect condition and applied smoothly as ever. Great quality!

Penny…Penny…Penny… is a beautiful peachy nude with lovely copper glitter and shimmer. So very pretty! This is two coats with HK Girl top coat.

Jindie Nails – $^%t Just Got Teal

14

This lovely Sunday I have a special treat for you, an amazing, brand new – soon to be released Jindie for you. This is Jindie Nails $^%t Just Got Teal (Jindies have the best names LOL) Obviously a teal holo with lime green hex glitters. The color on this is so beautiful! Deep vibrant teal and so much sparkle even without sunlight and then when you do step into the sunlight BOOM! All the holo comes out and the polish is even more beautiful! Just perfection in a bottle! I love this so much!

Application was absolutely flawless, smooth and easy. For shorter nails this is a one coater, I applied two. I think the second coat also adds depth to this beauty. This applied so perfectly that I had no need for clean up either.

This was love at first sight from the moment when I dug out the bottle from it’s bubble wrap! Jen’s creations just keep getting better and better!

This is two coats with HK Girl top coat.

Delush Polish Head Over Heels collection

6

Happy Saturday lovelies! Delush Polish recently arrived to a Finnish webstore and I got some polishes to swatch and review too. Previously I’ve shown you the Mad Top Hatter Duo and today I have the whole Head Over Heels collection for you. All the swatches are two coats with one or two coats of HK Girl top coat.

I had no issues with the application. All of these were well behaving and applied smoothly. Moves Like Jagger needed to be turned upside down before application to help get the biggest hex glitters out of the bottle. Heart Shaped Box and Moves Like Jagger could also be layered on top of a creme polish for better coverage.

Honey Pie, Sugar Bunch is definitely my favorite of the collection. Such a pretty, girly shade!

 

 

Bare To Be Bold
 Careless Whisper
Rebellious Ruby

 

Heart Shaped Box
Moves Like Jagger

 

 Lucky In Love
 Honey Pie, Sugar Bunch

Arcane Lacquer – Complicated Nothings

4

Today I have a new to me indie brand from Australia for you. Arcane Lacquer is created by Nail Gun XS and if you like Aussie indie brands I bet you’ve seen some of her amazing swatches around the internet.

So Complicated Nothings is my first Arcane Lacquer polish and I’m quite impressed with the quality. This rosy pink shimmery crelly applies very smoothly and evenly. I applied two coats and there was somewhat visible nail line but it didn’t look bad at all. I actually wanted to leave it that way cos this is a very feminine and delicate looking polish that has certain lightness to it cos it’s a bit sheer. I didn’t want to even try to achieve a fully opaque result since I wanted to keep that light look. I bet this is fully opaque with three coats though and and you can apply this pretty thinly so three coats is not a problem at all. This has such beautiful sparkle! I’m in love!

On the photos I have two coats of Complicated Nothings with HK Girl top coat.

Arcane Lacquer polishes are also available 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.

Jindie Nails Wifey Material and Re-Fresh to Death

2

Today I have two brand new Jindies for you. These will be launched tomorrow, 5th of April along with my collaboration polish Pink Stilettos and Bonnie & Clyde duo, collaboration with Dollish Polish. Exact time hasn’t been announced so keep watching Jindie Nails FB page and IG for more info on tomorrow’s launch.

 

First we have Wifey Material “It is made with a multichrome pigment, linear holographic pigment, flecks of real silver and a bit of silver shimmer. Application is great and this is opaque in about 2 coats!  This polish shifts from baby blue to violet, to red tones”.

This polish is just gorgeous and it sparkles like a rainbow in sunlight. This was two easy coats with HK Girl top coat. Application was nice and smooth and two coats was enough for perfectly opaque result.

Macro taken in direct sunlight. This is intentionally blurry to show you the beautiful rainbow sparkle.
Another new polish released tomorrow is Re-Fresh to Death. This name cracks me up :D I don’t actually know the story behind the name but it reminds me of the little sin most of us indie polish lovers have most likely committed during a crazy restock, obsessive refreshing of the page when the restock is about to happen ;)
“Re-Fresh to Death has a white crelly (cream/jelly) base loaded with small, metallic hexagons in sapphire blue, lilac, periwinkle, magenta, mauve, lavender & dark purple”. Surprise, surprise! I love this one too! :P Re-Fresh to Death is so packed with glitter and still very easy to apply. Crelly base is just perfect and creates a lovely sandwich effect. Glitter came out of the bottle very easily, no extra tricks needed. Two coats was enough for opaque result and I used one coat of HK Girl top coat to smooth the surface.
So these will launch at Jindie Nails website tomorrow 5th of April with the previously mentioned new releases. International shipping will be available.
See anything you like? I know I’ll be there trying to get one of those limited edition Bonnie & Clyde duos!

Jindie Nails – Lights Out and Love Me

4

These two polishes were released together as a Valentines Duo but due to popular demand they will still be restocked. They won’t be offered as a duo set anymore but you can buy them individually.

First we have Lights Out “a very dark gray, almost black super squishy jelly.  It’s full of all shades of reds and pinks and is pretty opaque on it’s own in 3 coats, or can be layered over many different colors for a totally different look”. 

This looks amazing on it’s own or layered over a dark color. But there’s already swatch photos that way so I decided to take a different road with this one. I layered it over yesterday’s Pink Stilettos manicure and I love how it turned out looking. Lights Out covered Pink Stilettos almost completely but the pink shade underneath brings certain warmth to this grey shade. Macro shot also shows the beautiful shimmer in this. The result was very beautiful and totally unique!

Formula on this was excellent. I applied two coats normally and the result was very smooth. No need to fish for the glitter either. I didn’t even turn the bottle upside down. I only needed to apply one coat of HK Girl to smooth it out.

 

Ok, then let’s move on to the other one. This is Love Me “a medium purple shade with a blue flash, matte ice blue small hex, violets, blues, magentas, pinks throughout.  It’s a cream/jelly and opaque in 2-3 coats”.

Love Me was a bit tricky to try and capture accurately. I had to adjust the color a bit afterwards to make it look as close to reality as possible. I think I got pretty close but in real life the shade is somewhat deeper and even more vibrant. This one is totally stunning!!

Formula on Love Me was also very good. It applied well and was opaque with two coats. This dried a little rougher and I used two coats of HK Girl to smooth the surface nicely.

These will be available at jindienails.com. 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!

Femme Fatale – Spring Fling

6

Today I have a beautiful Femme Fatale polish for you.  This is Spring Fling and on Femme Fatale website this is described as “A medium opacity creme polish speckled with hints of pastel green and aqua, flashes of white diamond and bright pink metallic glitter. Scattered throughout are soft flecks of neon green”.

This is very pretty and truly looks like a spring color to me. This was very hard to capture accurately but in real life the base color is fresh light teal and the glitters really pop nicely. The formula was very good and I had no issues with the application. Two coats looked like it was enough but looking at the photos maybe I could’ve even applied a third. I used two coats of top coat to smooth the surface. This was very packed with glitter so no need to even turn the bottle upside down. Very, very pretty!!

Femme Fatale polishes and cosmetics can be bought from their website where you can also find a list of international stockists. You can also follow Femme Fatale on social media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

For this manicure I used two coats of Spring Fling and two coats HK Girl top coat.
