Lynnderella – Tidy Whities

0

Today I have a polish from the new Lynnderella “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection.

This is Tidy Whities and here’s Lynnderella’s description this polish “a mixture of opaque and translucent whites with assorted tiny pastel and iridescent glitters. Multishimmer in a clear base”.

This is two coats of IsaDora Purple Reign, two coats of  Tidy Whities and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The application was easy and smooth, no need for Glitter Food. This is one of those glitter toppers that can be layered over any color. White base looks icy and dark base brings out all the beauty in this polish.

Born Pretty Store review – Feather Effect nail polish

1

Today I have a Born Pretty Store review for you and this time it’s Feather Effect nail polish. I have not been too interested in these feather effect polishes before and this is the first one I got. This has a lot of silver and white bar glitter on a sheer base. The silver glitter is holographic and it gives this polish a lovely glow and sparkle. Shade/color number for this is #2 in the web store.

For this manicure I used a coat of Wet n Wild Megalast Break The Ice, two coats of Feather Effect #2 and Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat.

 

The formula on this is quite thick. You need to let the first coat dry pretty well before applying the second one or the first coat will start dragging. Applying this with a very light hand helps too. Also this smells pretty weird/bad. That being said, I still totally love how this looks. It looks like angel wings :D So pretty and sparkly! I layered this over a sheer white base but you can layer this over any base color you want to. This would look amazing built up to be opaque on it’s own but it will need to have a date with a thinner bottle first.

You can buy the Feather Effect nail polish from Born Pretty Store and they also have a wide range of other nail art supplies. Born Pretty Store offers free worldwide shipping. Please use the code “NZL91” when you order and get extra -10% discount.

Lynnderella – It’s Raining Shaman

2

Today I have yet another polish from the new “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection by Lynnderella. I recently received the whole collection and I’m showing you these pretties one by one.

So now it’s time for It’s Raining Shaman. Here’s how Lynnderella describes this polish “It’s Raining Shaman contains neon, opaque and satin yellows and oranges with black, grey, pink, red and multiglitter. Holographic gold microglitter and multishimmer overlay in a clear base. Dragon’s Blood not included”.

When I looked at the bottle I wasn’t too excited about the color combination and was even a little lost on what to layer it with. Then I put on Wet n Wild Everybody Loves Redmond and I realized that would be a perfect base for this glitter polish. Once I applied the first coat of polish I was going “Ooh, aah!”. This is so pretty. Color combination is actually pretty awesome and I love the shimmer!

This is two coats of Wet n Wild Everybody Loves Redmond, two coats of It’s Raining Shaman and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The application was perfect once again. All the glitter came out of the bottle without any fishing. This applied so evenly that there was no need for dabbing or placing the glitters.
It always makes me so happy when a polish surprises me positively. I didn’t expect to be crazy about this but once I tried it, I love it!

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.

Lynnderella – Oh Eric…!

3

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is having a lovely and relaxing weekend. This is another gorgeous Lynnderella polish from the new “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection.

Here’s how Lynnderella desccribes this shade: “Oh Eric…! is a love letter to Sheriff Northman—of Area 5 in Louisiana. Red metallic with neon pink, purple and red glitters in a pink-shimmered translucent red base”.

This one is absolutely gorgeous! I wanted to maintain the passionate look this has so I layered it over red. You can achieve a cuter look by using a lighter pink base color and dark purple turns this into a bit more dramatic looking.

This is two coats of OPI Innie Minnie Mightie Bow, two coats of Oh Eric…!, a thin coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Formula is a normal indie glitter bomb. I had no issues with the application. I applied the first coat normally and the second coat I dabbed on to avoid too much glitter piling up on each other. This has a lovely glow to it and the color goes great for fall time too. And the name, I think we already figured out I love the name  LOL

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.

Lynnderella – AquaMan Candy

0

Here’s more Lynnderella for you from the new “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection. This is AquaMan Candy, a stunning mix of glitter on a sheer base.

Here’s how Lynnderella describes this polish “AquaMan Candy is made with a cyan-shimmered cyan base saturated with cyan glitters with red, pink, white and green accents. Perfect for mermaids and mermen”.

This is two coats of Essie In The Cab-Ana, two coats of AquaMan Candy, a thin coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

AquaMan Candy applies perfectly. This is very packed with glitter so no fishing needed. There was also no need to place the glitter or even dab. I love the color combination on this one! Very unique and beautiful!

Lynnderella – The Full Minty

4

Today I have a real treat for you! Lynnderella recently released a new collection “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” and I’ll be showing you the whole awesome collection one by one!

I’ll start with The Full Minty “satin mint and white glitters accented with several shades of green—all in an intensely sparkling mint-shimmered base“.

This is two coats of China Glaze Keep Calm, Paint On, two coats of The Full Minty, thin coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The Full Minty applies perfectly. No need to fish or place the glitters. One coat was already even enough but my glitter addiction forced me to add another one ;) The mint shimmer on the base is absolutely gorgeous. Even though this collection is a summer release, The Full Minty is a perfect color for winter too!

Hello again :) For my second post of the day I have another Polish Addict Nail Color shade for you. This is White, White Wedding, a mix of white glitter, holographic silver microglitter and iridescent rainbow microglitter on a sheer base. This one is like snow on my nails. So beautiful!! This is just perfect for a winter day or a bridal manicure :)

On this mani I used Wet n Wild Megalast Break the Ice, two coats of White, White Wedding and G & G HK Girl top coat.
