Lynnderella – Snow Moon

2

It’s been a while since I had a Lynn to show you so here we go. This is Snow Moon and it was the first polish released from the Light Year collection. Lynnderella has come up with another way to release a collection. Light Year collection polishes will be released one at a time along the year 2014. I like this idea a lot! You can pick them polishes one at a time and collect the whole collection.

So Snow Moon was the first one to be released and it’s absolutely gorgeous.

“Snow Moon has white microglitter, translucent white moons and hexagons in a clear white-sparked base”.

Formula on this was excellent and it applies thin and smooth. I decided to layer it on a white shimmer cos I love white on white combinations but you can use this with any color you want. This polish is like fresh powder snow and it’s also sheer enough to allow the base color to show through beautifully if you use other color than white.

On this manicure I used two coats of Wet n Wild Break The Ice (white shimmer), two coats of Lynnnderella Snow Moon and HK Girl top coat.

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.

Delush Polish – Slice of Life collection

10

Today I have the whole Delush Polish Slice of Life collection to show you. This collection is inspired by TV-show Dexter. All of the polishes on this collection are jellies and I have no problem with that since I LOVE jelly polishes! These are very juicy and squishy. These create an awesome sandwich effect with the glitter and they practically glow!

All of these had a very good formula and application, I had no issues with them. They take 2-3 coats for a good result and for all but one of them just a coat of HK Girl was enough to smooth out the glitters.

 

Born In Blood (3 coats + HK Girl)

 

 Master of Disguise (2 coats + HK Girl)
 Dark Passenger (3 coats + HK Girl)
 Angel of Death  (3 coats + HK Girl)
 Time To Kill  (3 coats + HK Girl)

You can read the idea and inspiration behind this collection from Jindie Nails website.

“K.I.S.S. is a barbie pink cream/jelly loaded with copper and bronze shimmer, copper flecks, sparks of small scarlett hexagons and pink/gold shimmer.”

K.I.S.S. applies smooth as butter and was opaque with two coats. This dries nice and smooth and the top coat brings out the beautiful shine. I love how subtle the glitter is in this and the shimmer gives it a beautiful glow in real life. Very pretty and girly looking polish!

On the photos I have two coats of K.I.S.S. with HK Girl top coat.

Welcome to Finland Dollish Polish! and revisiting Penny…Penny…Penny…

10

Dollish Polish pretties have just arrived to their new Finland stockist CesarsShop. To celebrate that I’m revisiting one of my favorites Penny…Penny…Penny…

I have the old bottle since (if I remember correctly) I got this from the first restock when this became available. After over a year my bottle is still in perfect condition and applied smoothly as ever. Great quality!

Penny…Penny…Penny… is a beautiful peachy nude with lovely copper glitter and shimmer. So very pretty! This is two coats with HK Girl top coat.

Jindie Nails – You Mad, Bro?

14

Today I have another soon to be released Jindie Nails polish for you. This is You Mad, Bro? limited edition polish made to celebrate Seattle Seahawks and their Super Bowl win.

I LOVE this name! Makes me laugh every time. If you’re a football fan and were following the events leading to Super Bowl this year you probably know the story behind the name :D It was hard to miss the Richard Sherman show with tweets and after game explosions.

I’m not a Seahawks fan but I still love this polish and what’s not to love!? You Mad, Bro? is an insanely vibrant and bright lime green with a subtle holographic effect. Just stunning!!

Application was perfect and this is opaque with just two coats. Dry time was fast and removal nice and easy. This is two coats of You Mad, Bro? with HK Girl top coat.

I’m also showing you my new nails. Supershort for me :O I decided it was time to get rid of the plastic extensions and grow my own nails back. I’m still keeping the thin UV-gel layover cos my nails are easily breaking and peeling. UV-gel helps me grow some length and keeps the shape of the nails pretty. The coat of gel is very thin and my nails still look and feel very natural.

Jindie Nails – $^%t Just Got Teal

14

This lovely Sunday I have a special treat for you, an amazing, brand new – soon to be released Jindie for you. This is Jindie Nails $^%t Just Got Teal (Jindies have the best names LOL) Obviously a teal holo with lime green hex glitters. The color on this is so beautiful! Deep vibrant teal and so much sparkle even without sunlight and then when you do step into the sunlight BOOM! All the holo comes out and the polish is even more beautiful! Just perfection in a bottle! I love this so much!

Application was absolutely flawless, smooth and easy. For shorter nails this is a one coater, I applied two. I think the second coat also adds depth to this beauty. This applied so perfectly that I had no need for clean up either.

This was love at first sight from the moment when I dug out the bottle from it’s bubble wrap! Jen’s creations just keep getting better and better!

This is two coats with HK Girl top coat.

Glitter Gal Australia Blooming Babes Spring 2014 Collection

16

Glitter Gal Australia is just about to release their Blooming Babes Spring 2014 collection. This collection includes five shades, four cremes and a stunning holo plus Gloss Boss top coat. Today I have swatches of the whole collection for you.

Let’s start with a few words about Gloss Boss Ultimate Color Enhancer top coat.

 

 

 

Gloss Boss top coat “is the ultimate colour enhancer with a gel like, super glossy finish.  Can be applied over Glitter Gal’s entire polish collections, even holographics.  If applying to holographics, wait 2 minutes for the holographic effect to be enhanced.” 


This top coat is a bit on the thick side but easy to apply and it’s self leveling. This really does enhance the color on creme polishes I have tried it on. Finish is very shiny and has a gel like feeling to it. This is not a fast drying top coat but the dry time is not too long at all. I quite like this one and I love the glossy finish it gives to creme polishes.

 

 

Then let’s move on to the gorgeous polishes on this collection …. and oh yes, I filed my nails shorter and got rid of the stiletto shape for now. Just felt like I needed a change :)

 

Nuddy Nude – two generous coats with Gloss Boss top coat. A beautiful pale sand-y beige nude. This is your basic neutral nude creme. Perfect for many different skin tones. Subtle and chic color. Very pretty! This takes two somewhat generous coats or three thinner coats to be even and opaque. The formula is very good and smooths itself out nicely so I didn’t see a problem with two thicker coats.

 

Good On Ya – two generous coats with Gloss Boss top coat. Pale green creme with a hint of yellow. This color is so awesome. I want to call it pastel neon cos it’s pastel but also so vibrant. Really cool and unique in my collection. This also creates the “Ohh! My hands are tanned!” effect. Love this color and I’ll definitely do some nail art on this. This is the same way with Nuddy Nude, applies well, levels itself and takes two thicker or three thin coats for a perfect result.

 

 

Mozzie Bite – two normal coats with Gloss Boss top coat. Juicy, squishy berry red crelly. Great application and lovely glossy finish. Beautiful!

 

 

Bikini Babe – two generous coats with Gloss Boss top coat. Delicate pastel pink creme. Perfect girly summer shade. I think this might have just taken the #1 spot of pastel pinks in my collection. Formula and application on this is very similar to Nuddy Nude and Good On You.

 

 

Love Bite – three thin coats, no top coat. Stunning red linear holo. Excellent application and quick dry time. Photos are taken with daylight bulbs and the holo effect is even stronger in direct sunlight. I applied three coats but shorter nails will get away with just two. Such a beautiful shade of red! Love!

 

“All Glitter Gal Australia’s polishes are 5 free and do not contain Formaldehyde, DPB, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin or Camphor”

Delush Polish Head Over Heels collection

6

Happy Saturday lovelies! Delush Polish recently arrived to a Finnish webstore and I got some polishes to swatch and review too. Previously I’ve shown you the Mad Top Hatter Duo and today I have the whole Head Over Heels collection for you. All the swatches are two coats with one or two coats of HK Girl top coat.

I had no issues with the application. All of these were well behaving and applied smoothly. Moves Like Jagger needed to be turned upside down before application to help get the biggest hex glitters out of the bottle. Heart Shaped Box and Moves Like Jagger could also be layered on top of a creme polish for better coverage.

Honey Pie, Sugar Bunch is definitely my favorite of the collection. Such a pretty, girly shade!

 

 

Bare To Be Bold
 Careless Whisper
Rebellious Ruby

Rimmel Sweetie Crush textured polishes

10

Today I got Rimmel Sweetie Crush textured polishes to show you. These sweet pastels are perfect for spring and summer.

Application on these was very smooth and easy. I had no issues with the application and didn’t need to even do any clean up. These take 2-3 coats to be opaque and dry time to fully dry nails for two coats (no base coat) is about 30 to 35 mins. These were also very easy to remove. The base is more pearly than shimmery so you won’t be up to your elbows in shimmer after removing these.

I swatched 009 Candyfloss Cutie (three coats, no undies or top coat) alone so you can see texture and finish better on those photos. Other colors have a similar finish to this one except for 008 Sherbet Sweetheart that also has glitter in it and is my favorite out of these five shades (I’ll do a separate post for that one later on).

For the second mani I used NailVinyls for the patterns. I attached the NailVinyls and applied two coats of each polish. I used different polish for each nail. I immediately removed the NailVinyls and let the polish dry completely. Then I used different colors and filled in the patterns using a thin nail art brush.

All in all, I quite like these and I have some more nail art ideas in mind for these pretties. Now if I can only get a few extra hours added to my days so I can actually work on my ideas ;)

Arcane Lacquer – Complicated Nothings

4

Today I have a new to me indie brand from Australia for you. Arcane Lacquer is created by Nail Gun XS and if you like Aussie indie brands I bet you’ve seen some of her amazing swatches around the internet.

So Complicated Nothings is my first Arcane Lacquer polish and I’m quite impressed with the quality. This rosy pink shimmery crelly applies very smoothly and evenly. I applied two coats and there was somewhat visible nail line but it didn’t look bad at all. I actually wanted to leave it that way cos this is a very feminine and delicate looking polish that has certain lightness to it cos it’s a bit sheer. I didn’t want to even try to achieve a fully opaque result since I wanted to keep that light look. I bet this is fully opaque with three coats though and and you can apply this pretty thinly so three coats is not a problem at all. This has such beautiful sparkle! I’m in love!

On the photos I have two coats of Complicated Nothings with HK Girl top coat.

Arcane Lacquer polishes are also available 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.
