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

IsaDora Wonder Nail – Loden Green

4

This is IsaDora Loden Green from their gorgeous new Color Chock collection for fall 2013. The base color on this is very interesting. It’s muddy green-ish grey and it’s packed with fine golden green shimmer. I know it doesn’t sound good but it works like a charm. This polish is absolutely gorgeous and just a perfect color for fall!

Formula on this is great. It applies nice and smooth and it’s fully opaque with two coats. On this manicure I used two coats of Loden Green with G & G HK Girl top coat.

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 :)

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.

Color Club – Wicker Park

1

Today I have another new Color Club shade for you from the Girl About Town Fall 2013 collection. This is Wicker Park, a beautiful lavender creme.

For this mani I used two coats of Wicker Park with G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Wicker Park has an excellent formula and the application was a breeze. Just a tiny bit streaky on the first coat but evens out perfectly on the second one. Two coats is also enough for an opaque result. Very beautiful shade and a great quality! Looks like your average lavender/lilac creme but at least I don’t have dupes for this in my stash.

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.

Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat – 800 Tweedie

5

Here’s a tape manicure done using Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat 800 Tweedie and Color Club Silver Lake with G & G HK Girl top coat. I quite like how this turned out. Tweedie creates a cool effect with tape and the light grey base color. I’m not the biggest fan of bar glitter but I’m loving this one. I have two more shades to try out and now I’m trying to figure out something cool to do with them too :)

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 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.

Mish Mash Challenge Week 7: Least expensive polish – Golden Rose Matte Velvet #105

13

Happy hump day! For once I’m getting my post up on Wednesday :D This week we are using our least expensive polish/polishes. I chose Golden Rose Matte Velvet #105. This one was also in my untrieds so it was an easy choice. I found this from a discount bin at a local store and it cost me 1 euro. I believe I have never bought a polish cheaper than one euro :)

This is two coats of Matte Velvet 105 alone, no undies, no top coat.

 

 

Application was great and two coats is enough for an opaque result. This dries to a semi matte, shimmery finish. Very beautiful color :)  I have no complaints.

Now I’m off to check out what kind of awesome findings the other ladies have to show for this cheap polish week :D
