Try It On Tuesday: A England – Rose Bower

4

Today I have a real treat for you my dear readers and for myself too. I bought this polish a while ago and I can’t believe I still hadn’t tried it on! This is A England Rose Bower from the Burne-Jones Dream collection. This is a stunning berry red polish with a subtle scattered holo effect. Such an amazing red! Takes my breath away! If you don’t own this yet, GET IT, NOW! :D

This is two coats of Rose Bower with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The formula and application was just perfection. I just can’t get over how beautiful this polish is!

Jindie Nails Holo Duo – Olive You and Polo

0

Today I have two new Jindie Nails pretties for you. This is a duo of holographic polishes Olive You and Polo. It’s pretty easy to guess which is which looking at the colors ;) This is a very pretty couple, holo effect is nice and subtle. So even if you don’t like intense holo effect you might still love these two. The base colors are just gorgeous and they look stunning even without sunlight and holo showing.

Let’s start with the purple holo, Polo (love that name btw ;) ). This is three coats with G & G HK Girl top coat. Application was great. There was no dragging or balding. This took three coats to be opaque on my long nails but shorter nails can get away with just two coats. Such a lovely color!

Then there’s the gorgeous Olive You, a pale green holo and I can see some gold glitter too. This is two coats with G & G HK Girl top coat. Perfect formula, smooth application. Opaque with two coats. This one is so beautiful too! Just stunning in sunlight!

Fandom Cosmetics – This is My Design

4

Today I have another new to me brand Fandom Cosmetics polish This is My Design from the “Nothing Here is Vegetarian” collection inspired by Hannibal. Fandom Cosmetics lives up to it’s name and has a lot of cool collections based on awesome TV-shows, movies, etc. Or what do you say about Supernatural inspired collection and nail polish called “Dean’s Baby”? Cos, I mean, mmmmmm, Dean….. err, where was I? Oh yeah, nail polish….

This is My Design is a gorgeous red glitter mix with a scattered holographic effect. The base is orange-y, rusty red and the holo effect is quite strong. This is amazing in sunlight and the sparkling is just blinding. Perfect color for stunning fall nails!

For this manicure I used three thin coats of Fandom Cosmetics This is My Design with Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

This is My Design has a thick-ish gel like formula and it applies quite nicely. This can be opaque on it’s own and will be perfect layered over a base color too. If you build this up to be opaque on it’s own I recommend very thin coats and let each coat dry well before applying the next. That way you get a nice and smooth result. This one is definitely worth the three coats. It looks like hot lava with rainbow sparkle when it’s built up to be opaque on it’s own. Just stunning!

Fandom Cosmetics polishes can be bought from their webstore, they ship internationally too. You can also follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Crazy Polish Lady – Violet Hills

4

Hi and happy Friday! Today I have a gorgeous Crazy Polish Lady shade Violet Hills for you. This is from the “Colors are the music of my life” collection and I have previously shown you a few other shades too. Like the other ones I have from this collection this is also stunning and I just love the color.

Violet Hills is a crelly polish packed with holographic micro-glitter. This shade is amazing and it might just be my favorite out of the collection by far. So very pretty!

This is three thin coats of Violet Hills with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Violet Hills was a little bit more sheer than the other polishes I have tried from this same collection. Three thin coats did the trick and application was once again flawless. Even with three coats the dry time was short. I didn’t quite capture the beautiful holographic sparkle but it’s there, trust me :)

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. This collection is now also available at Mei Mei’s Signatures.

a england – Dragon

0

I bought this beautiful polish from a england a few months ago, right before the infamous RM fiasco. Dragon is a stunning green polish with scattered holo effect. For me, as a green polish lover this is a must have!

 

Dragon has a great formula. Application is smooth as butter and for longer nails two coats is enough for opaque result. For shorter nails this might even be a one coater. Dry time was also short with G & G HK Girl Fast Drying + Super Shiny top coat.

This and other a england beauties can be bought online from a england website if you live in UK and if you don’t live in UK click here to find the online store most suitable for you.

 

Crazy Polish Lady – Cosmic Love

2

Today I have another Crazy Polish Lady pretty for you. This is Cosmic Love, a deep teal-ish blue crelly with holographic micro-glitter. This is one of the eight shades from the “Colors are the music of my life” collection. I now have five of the polishes in this collection and I feel like I really need to get the remaining three shades too. All the polishes I have from her are absolutely gorgeous!

This is two coats of Cosmic Love and G & G HK Girl Fast Drying + Super Shiny top coat.

 

Cosmic Love applies well and is opaque in two coats. Dry time is fast and removal is not too bad. In this one the holographic micro-glitter is quite visible and the color is very beautiful. Cosmic Love reminds me of a starry night sky. Just stunning!

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 ;)

 

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!

 

Color Club – Halo-Graphic

4
It’s Monday again! Another new week, another chance to receive some nail mail ;) Regardless of a huge amount of snow we still have on the ground, we also get some sunny days. You know, sun means a great opportunity to take some holo goodness photos. So today I have Color Club’s Halo-Graphic for you. An awesome pink holo from last year’s Halo Hues collection. I only own this and Cherubic but I have to buy the other four shades too. Not to mention the Halo Hues 2013 collection!

Halo-Graphic is a great quality polish. It applies smooth and even plus it dries fast. No need for special base coats either. I applied this over the UV-gel coating, no base coat at all. Holo effect is very strong on this one too. On the photos I have two coats of Halo-Graphic with Inm Super Fast Drying top coat. Such a beautiful color! Me likes!
