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!

Polish Addict Nail Color – Pretty Zombie

0

Today I have another shade from Polish Addict Nail Color for you. This is Pretty Zombie and trust me, you want to scroll all the way down to see all the photos of this one ;)

Pretty Zombie is a lovely mix of glitter on a peachy pink crelly/jelly base. I love the base color. It’s just perfect for summer and perfect for my skintone!

This is three thin coats of Pretty Zombie with Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

This applied perfectly and smoothly. Base color wasn’t streaky or balding at all and the glitter lays nice and flat. Great quality on this one too!

And here’s the coolest part….

 

 

IT GLOWS IN THE DARK! :D How freakin’ awesome does that look!?

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.

Polish Addict Nail Color – Beach Cabana

2

TGIF and I have just the polish to put you on that relaxed sunny summer weekend mood :D This is Polish Addict Nail Color indie brand’s Beach Cabana. A colorful blend of neon purple, neon pink and neon green glitter on a nude crelly base.

On this mani I used three thin coats of Beach Cabana, coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Beach Cabana applies perfectly and the crelly base is smooth and even looking on the first coat. The great formula made it very easy to build up the sandwich effect with three coats.

This was my first experience with Polish Addict Nail Color and I’m very happy with the quality. Polish is beautiful, formula is perfect and application was flawless. Now I can’t wait to try the other colors sitting on my “to be swatched” shelf :D

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.

Jindie Nails – A History of Violets

2

Here we go again with another Jindie Nails glitter topper from the Glitter Topper Mod Quad collection. I have previously reviewed Sparkle on the Vine and Dancing with the Stars. The fourth and final shade Eclectric is also coming up soon :)

So this is A History Of Violets and here’s how it’s described on the Jindie Nails website: “It has a mix of white, periwinkle, lilac, lavender, wine, opaque matte burgundy, opaque matte light purple, opaque matte dark purple hex, dots, stars, short bars (just a few). squares and lots and lots of purple and silver shimmer throughout.   This polish features a few new glitters I haven’t used before, including matte gray and white dots & moons”.

On this manicure I used two coats of Essie Lilacism, two coats of A History of Violets, coat of Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Application was excellent, no issues. Glitters applied nice and evenly, no fishing, dabbing or placing needed. This is a very pretty glitter topper and I’m loving the colors for fall time. Layering this over an icy blue will make it perfect for winter too.

This will be available soon at jindienails.com!

Crazy Polish Lady – Sand in My Flip-flops

7

Here’s Sand in My Flip-flops, another shade from the new limited edition Summer Is Up collection by Crazy Polish Lady. The glitter-mix on this is quite similar to the one on Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and the base is a lovely neutral sand-y beige. I love the combination of colorful glitter and soft, nude crelly base. This is a very fun looking polish without being too in your face :)

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

 

The formula is absolutely fabulous. Application is smooth, flawless and opaque in just two coats. Glitter applies evenly and no fishing needed. Perfect! If you haven’t tried any of Sophie’s polishes yet, you’re missing out! Each and every one I have tried have been nothing short of excellent!

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 – Opal Intuition

6

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone’s having a great weekend. Today I have another Lynnderella review for you. This is Opal Intuition from the Talismans and Birthstones collection. This has a lot of iridescent glitter and holographic micro-glitter in a sheer shimmer base. The base is blue toned. This can be layered on any basecolor you want to. I tested this over baby blue and black cremes. So let’s see what it looks like.

This is two coats of Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau, two coats of Opal Intuition and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

And here is a coat of Color Club Where’s The Soiree?, two coats of Opal Intuition and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Opal Intuition has a good, a bit gel like formula that applies well. As you can see, two different base colors make it look like two completely different polishes. Personally I prefer this over the black base. It really glows and black brings out the beautiful blue shimmer. Either way this is a real beauty!

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.

Jindie Nails – 1 Year Anniversary Duo

0

Jindie Nails had their first anniversary on July 16th. To celebrate the occasion Jen created the Anniversary Duo that is nothing short of awesome. I know I always say this BUT I absolutely love these polishes :D

Let’s start with the blue one, Anniversary Seaquins. This has an amazing dusty, smoky blue base packed with shimmer and all kinds of glitter. Application was just perfect. No issues at all. To my surprise this was almost opaque on two coats. I did apply the third one though. The base color is just beautiful and will be great for fall and winter too. This is the kind of the shade you can wear a year round.

This is three thin coats of polish and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Gorgeous, right?

Aaaand then there is the magnificent Purple Universary. I LOVE circle glitter and jellies so you can imagine my joy when I saw the first bottle shots not to mention actually holding the bottle. This is so amazing! The deep purple, true jelly base and all that circular glitter. Aaaahh! This is definitely on the top three of the most beautiful polishes I own. This is like universe on your nails.

The application on this was also perfect. No problems and all the glitter came out of the bottle easily, no fishing needed. This is three coats and it looks gorgeous but for the next time I wear this I have an application game plan ;) I’ll do first coat without any glitter, second with glitter, thin third coat without again and then the last one with glitter. That’ll help me build even more depth to this stunning beauty :)

So this is three coats of Purple Universary with Glitter Food and G & G HK Girl top coat.

Crazy Polish Lady – Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

4

Today I have a new Crazy Polish Lady shade for you from her limited edition Summer is Up collection. This is Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, a yellow crelly with multicolored glitter. The yellow shade is nice and smooth looking. This is kinda like banana ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. Pretty and sweet :D

This is three thin coats of Yellow Polka Dot Bikini with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Application was as perfect as it has been with all the Crazy Polish Lady polishes I have tried. For a yellow polish application was just great, no dragging or balding. The result is smooth enough that there was really no need for Glitter Food. I used three coats but two will be enough for shorter nails. Great shade for summer and springtime :)

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.

Femme Fatale – Fatal Attraction

0

Happy hump day! Today I have the last one of my four new Femme Fatale polishes, Fatal Attraction. This is a very beautiful shade packed with holographic micro-glitter and shimmer. Base is somewhat sheer and jelly-ish giving this polish some depth. Perfect color for fall! Love this!

This is three thin coats of Fatal Attraction and two coats of G & G HK Girl top coat.

Fatal Attraction applies well and smoothly. Though you should be careful with the application cos cleanup with this one is not easy. Mess your cuticles, do the cleanup and you might end up with shimmer up to your elbows ;) This also dries a little gritty, hence the two coats of HK Girl.

Femme Fatale polishes and cosmetics can be bought from their website if you live in Australia. International customers can find Femme Fatale polishes from Llarowe, Harlow & Co, Norway Nails, Shoppe Ecclecticco and Ledouxnuage.

You can also follow Femme Fatale on social media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
