Jindie Nails – Mango with the Flow

0

TGIF! Let’s continue with another new Jindie Nails shade, Mango with the Flow. This is another shade from the new Spring Chic collection and here’s how Jen descripes it: “pastel peach crelly (cream/jelly) with metallic silver hex, blue & purple iridescent hex, lime green/gold iridescent hex”. The base color is just lovely and also has subtle shimmer in it. I’m in love with the iridescent glitters. They give this one such delicate look. I’d love to see a polish like this with just iridescent glitter. I bet it would give me magical, sparkling fairy fingers ;D

 

Application is the typical glitter bomb, not difficult but requires some attention. Some of the iridescent glitters got stuck together and I used an orange wood stick to pick them apart a little. That’s not an issue with me, I often do that to spread out the bigger glitter pieces anyways. Mostly this applied very smoothly.

For this I used three thin coats of Mango with the Flow, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl top coat. This one didn’t want to let me capture all her prettiness but the close up photo show some of the glowing iridescent glitter quite nicely.

Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter A-Peel and Is Someone Loving You?

1

Second post of the day and I was supposed to be posting less ;) I have fell behind on my posts and answering the comments, so I’m trying to catch up a little here. I also want to get this post out now cos Nail Pattern Boldness is having a restock tomorrow, Friday at 3 PM EDT and it’ll be the final restock for the Hello? collection. So last change to get yourself some of those beauties. Here’s one of them revisited, Is Someone Loving You?

This is two coats of Is Someone Loving You? alone, no undies. A coat of Glitter Food and HK Girl top coat.

 

Also I have some GREAT news for you who love glitter but hate the removal process. Nail Pattern Boldness has come out with Glitter A-Peel, a peeling base coat. I have purchased a bottle but I haven’t been able to test it out properly yet so I can’t say much. I have read reviews saying it works excellent on natural nails though. So you might want to get a bottle for yourself asap and test it out. I will be writing a full review as soon as I have been using it enough to give my opinion on how it works with UV-gel coated nails :)
Nail Pattern Boldness products can be purchased from their Etsy store. You can also find NPB on Facebook and Instagram plus they have a blog.

 

Jindie Nails – Fantastical

0

I just received the Jindie Nails Spring Chic collection and I’m so excited to show you guys these pretties! Here’s the first one of the six polishes in this collection, Fantastical. There’s so much going on glitter wise that I just use Jen’s own description of this polish: “Bright, pastel coral crelly (cream/jelly) with a mix of satin matte aqua hex and regular sized stars, metallic and holographic teal smaller sized stars, squares, hex and large dots, turquoise, green/gold iridescent hex, plus beautiful color shifting teal shimmer”.

 

This is truly unlike anything in my collection and the color combination is quite interesting. In the bottle this looks a little dull but on the nails, just wow! The crelly base color is so fresh and summer-y looking. This is a little bit on a thin side for a glitter bomb and application was just flawless. No need to fish for the glitter, even the stars came out easy. I did turn the bottle upside down for a bit before starting to use it. This was three coats but it was almost opaque already on two. Based on the bottle pics I didn’t expect to like this as much as I do. It’s always nice to be pleasantly surprised :) This is a perfect shade for my skin tone and will look awesome when my hands are a little tanned during summer.

For this mani I used: three thin coats of Fantastical, coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl top coat.

I also have good news for those of you who don’t like the star shaped glitter in your polish. This will be available without the stars in a near future along with some other Jindie Nails shades.

Jindie Nails polishes are available to US and Canada customers at www.jindienails.com. International customers click here to find a distributor that works the best for you. Jindie Nails can also be found from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Jindie Nails Be Someone Cute revisited

4

I have already photographed Jindie Nails Be Someone Cute a while ago. On those previous photos I layered it on a base color. This time I decided to wear it on it’s own, no undies. I have to say I like this even more just on it’s own. This is two coats and HK Girl top coat. This is very pretty and being all small glitter it’s different from anything else I have.

Enchanted Polish – Flamingo Freckles (Mei Mei’s Signatures exclusive)

6

Today I have another Mei Mei’s Signatures exclusive polish for you, Enchanted Polish Flamingo Freckles. This one is so pretty, feminine and unique! I love it! On Mei Mei’s this is described as “A gorgeous hot pink jelly with scattered holo, iridescent flakes and glitters in hot orange, bubblegum pink, and tiny white color”. It just screams summer to me. Perfection in a bottle!

Flamingo Freckles applies nice and smooth. This is quite sheer so if you want 100% opaque result I suggest layering this on an opaque base color. I myself love squishy jellies so for me this is perfect on it’s own. On the photos I have two coats of Flamingo Freckles and a coat of HK Girl fast drying top coat.

This can be bought only from Mei Mei’s Signatures. Her store will be closed from 25th of April to 7th of May due to moving house and inventory check. For more information you should follow her FB page.

 

 

 

Coco Allure – Cleopinktra

8

Happy Saturday everyone :) Been a busy day hence the late post, but better late than never. Today I have another new to me indie brand Coco Allure and their Cleopinktra glitter polish for you. This has gold, pink and fuchsia glitter in different shapes and sizes on a clear base. This must be a new formula cos it is somewhat different than the swatch photo on their store shows. The swatch photo has more square glitter and none round ones and the polish I got has a lot of circular glitter. So this is not quite what I expected but I still like it very much.

Cleopinktra applies well and is really packed with glitter. Just one coat was enough layered on a black base (Essie Licorice). No need to turn the bottle upside down, a lot of glitter comes out without any tricks. This is quite blingtastic polish and I love the colors. This will work on many different base colors. Awesome Gini from Sassy Paints suggested layering this over a subtle yellow and I think that is exactly what I will do next time.

Coco Allure polishes can be bought from their Etsy store.

 

 

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 ;)

 

Cirque – Hellebore

4

Hello my lovelies :) Today I have Cirque Hellebore for you. This is a stunning light green glitter polish with a hint of pink in it. This is so gorgeous and blingtastic! I’m in love (as usual)! All the sparkle and especially the pink was really hard to capture with the camera though. You can see the pink sparkling on the blurry parts of the photos the best. This dries textured and I actually preferred this without a top coat. I did add the top coat in the end and took photos with that too. This and Fleur est Belle have really made me want more Cirque polishes. They have some amazing colors I just have to have!

On the photos I have three coats of Hellebore, for shorter nails two coats would be enough. On the top coat photos there’s also a coat of HK Girl top coat.

I bought this from Mei Mei’s Signatures and they ship worldwide.

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!
