Jindie Nails for Halloween

0

It’s that spooky time of the year again! I have prepared with a lot of candy and some nail polish. Today I have two nail polishes created by Jindie Nails. Blood, Bath & Beyond is from the Halloween 2013 collection and Barbie’s Nightmare is Mei Mei’s Signatures exclusive for Halloween.

First we have Blood, Bath & Beyond “Blood red jelly with intense violet/gold shimmer, lavender and violet metallic and holographic dots, gold metallic and holographic large, small and medium dots, red large, small and medium metallic dots and purple iridescent sparks throughout”.

This is two coats of Blood Bath & Beyond with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Blood, Bath & Beyond is a great quality blood red jelly. This is so juicy and squishy! Application was smooth and easy. I didn’t even turn the bottle upside down before application but that is the thing to do if you have trouble getting the glitter out of the bottle. You should allow some time for the first layer to dry before applying second or the bigger glitter pieces might start dragging.

 

The second polish of the day is Mei Mei’s Signatures exclusive for Halloween 2013. This is how Barbie’s Nightmare is described: “White crelly with black irregular glitters, moon, dot, star, square, silver dot, neon pink square, grey moon, grey dot and red star”.

On the photos there’s three thin coats of Barbie’s Nightmare with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Barbie’s Nightmare has a perfect white crelly base. Milky and sheer enough to create a great sandwich effect but still opaque on three coats. A little streaky on the first coat but evened out nicely on second and third coat. This was actually quite easy to apply and just perfection compared to some white polishes. I did turn the bottle upside down before the application.

Lynnderella – Once Upon a Prince

0

Today I have the last polish from the Lynnderella “Once Upon a Prince and more Man Candy” collection for you. Here are the links to the reviews of the other eight shades in this collection:

Mr. Darcy
The One Who Got Away
Mr. Pink
Tidy Whities
It’s Raining Shaman
Oh Eric…!
AquaMan Candy
The Full Minty

This one is Once Upon a Prince and here’s how Lynnderella describes on her website“Once Upon a Prince has multiple purples accented with scattered multiglitter in a rich, translucent purple and blue shimmered purple base”. I usually layer these types of glitters with a purple, lavender or black base. This time I decided to do something different and since I had a pretty sandy gold shimmer polish sitting on my review pile I thought why not try that. I think the combination worked out great and this looked very pretty in real life.

For this mani I used Color Club Sugar Rays, two thin coats of Once Upon a Prince and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

The formula on this was very good and the application was easy. This would probably be fully opaque on it’s own with three carefully applied coats. This applied so nice and thin that wearing this alone is a possibility too.

Lynnderella – Mr. Darcy

0

Here’s a polish from Lynnderella Once upon a Prince and other Man Candy collection. This is Mr. Darcy. I LOVE the name! I’ve seen the Pride and Prejudice (TV miniseries) so many times and I never get tired of it.

Here’s how Lynnderella describes this polish “Mr. Darcy was inspired by devotion to and deep love for chivalrous gentlemen who have good manners and behave courteously. It has multiple shades of grey, as well as lavender, gunmetal, periwinkle, and navy as well as a kiss of red in a clear base”.

I decided to layer this over the dark navy blue Color Club Williamsburg manicure. Dark base made the black glitter in this pretty much disappear but brought out the other colors quite nicely. This would look great over a lavender or a light pink polish too but in my world Mr. Darcy can not be associated with a girly base color ;)

This is one generous coat of Mr. Darcy over Color Club Williamsburg with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The formula on this was very good and easy to apply. I had no issues, none what so ever.

Chaos and Crocodiles – Fireside Nights

0

This is my first Chaos and Crocodiles polish and I was so excited when this brand became available internationally. This one is Fireside Nights and it’s just perfection for fall with all the fire-y red and gold glitter.

I layered two coats of Fireside Nights over IsaDora Loden Green and topped it off with a coat of G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Formula was nice and thin and the glitter came out of the bottle very easily. Two coats applied evenly and it was easy to control the amount of the glitter you were taking out of the bottle. The result was smooth enough that there was no need to use Glitter Food before the top coat.

Chaos and Crocodiles polishes can be found from their website. Us international ladies can get our fix from Norway Nails (use the code POLISHAHOLIC for -10% off of your purchase) or Mei Mei’s Signatures

Lynnderella – The One Who Got Away

0

Yay me! For getting another blog post up today LOL

This is Lynnderella The One Who Got Away from the Summer 2013 “Once upon a Prince and other ManCandy” collection. Here’s how it’s described on the Lynnderella website “The One Who Got Away is full of assorted black and bright coloured glitter in matte and satin finishes. Microglitter accents in a clear base”.

This is one generous coat of The One Who Got Away over Color Club Wicker Park and finished with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

This one has a very good formula too. The glitter comes out of the bottle just fine without extra tricks. Application is even and smooth. No need to place the glitters too much. I only slightly moved the biggest ones if they landed on the edge of the nail. I just love the colorful micro-glitter this has. It gives this polish a certain cuteness factor and some sparkle :)

Jindie Nails – Sexy Barbie (Mei Mei’s Signatures exclusive)

2

Hello lovelies! I’m still alive, just adjusting to my new routine and schedule. I have no plans on stopping blogging so just have a little more patience with me while I figure it all out :)

And now on to this gorgeous polish that is a new Mei Mei’s Signatures exclusive Sexy Barbie by Jindie Nails. This is a stunning pink jelly with circle glitter in different colors and sizes. On this manicure I used three coats of Sexy Barbie, a thin coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

The application on this was amazing. Absolutely no issues at all! The jelly base applies so smooth and even. No dragging, balding or streaks. Just amazing! And the color… can I say it again? Amazing! So juicy and perfect pink. I just totally love this one. I love circle glitter and I’m crazy about jelly polishes so this one is right down my alley.

Sexy Barbie is available only at Mei Mei’s Signatures. They offer worldwide shipping and great customer service! You can also find Mei Mei’s from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Crazy Polish Lady – Another Mojito, Please!

1

It’s Monday again! I hope everyone is off to a great start with their week :) Today I have Crazy Polish Lady Another Mojito, please! for you. This is from the limited edition Summer Is Up collection. Even though this is a summer polish the colors go great for fall and winter too. This crelly polish has quite a unique and lovely color combination!

For this mani I used two coats of Another Mojito, please! with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Formula was good and the application was nice and smooth which is usually the case with Crazy Polish Lady polishes. This was opaque on two coats but with my long nails it would’ve not done any harm to add a third coat. With two coats the result was smooth enough so I didn’t need Glitter Food before the top coat.

Crazy Polish Lady has recently opened her own webstore. This polish is still available along with previous collections and a very stunning looking new fall collection. So go check it out! You can also follow her on Facebook.

Lynnderella – Mr. Pink

0

Greetings from the house of coughing and snotty noses. My kids have been sick for a few days now and there doesn’t seem to be an end to this right now. Hubby is also getting sick and I myself will probably catch this sooner or later.

Anyways I’m getting this post up for you even if it’s the last thing I do LOL this is Lynnderella Mr. Pink from the  “Once Upon a Prince and More Man Candy” collection. Here’s how it’s described on the Lynnderella website “Mr. Pink contains assorted pinks of all sizes, shapes, finishes and attitudes. Multiglitter accents in a warm pink shimmered clear base”.

This is two coats of A England Rose Bower, one generous coat of  Mr. Pink and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Application was once again perfect and very smooth. I love how this polish has a few colorful glitter pieces here and there. Not too many but just enough to make it look alive and have a little color pop details.

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.

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!
