Different Dimension – Comfortably Numb

0

Here’s my second blog post of today and as promised it’s another glitter topper from the gorgeous Different Dimension Echoes collection. Comfortably Numb has bright pink and yellow glitter on a clear base. This polish also has a gorgeous cold toned pink shimmer. Comfortably Numb is so much fun and it’s easy to layer with a lot of different base colors. Black would be the obvious choice along with a white base. I decided to try two other colors. First I layered it with this mornings Different Dimension Whatever manicure.

This is two coats of Whatever, two thin coats of Comfortably Numb and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

I really like that combination. It’s bright and fun! But why stop here? Comfortably Numb is an awesome glitter bomb and I was just dying to see how it would look layered over a coral red creme so I took out my Wet n Wild Heatwave and created this combination.

One coat of Wet n Wild Heatwave, two two thin coats of Comfortably Numb and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Well I have to say this looks absolutely stunning over a coral base too and this combination just screams summer to me! Perfection!
Comfortably Numb applies well. The result is nice and smooth so I didn’t even use Glitter Food with either manicure. Just don’t forget to turn the bottle upside down for a bit before application. That helps the bigger glitter pieces to come out of the bottle easier.

Different Dimension – Whatever

0

A while back I ordered Different Dimension 80’s baby collection in mini size cos I couldn’t decide between the six shades and wanted them all. Now my only regret is that I didn’t buy the full size collection ;) The colors are awesome and quality of these polishes is excellent. 80’s baby is a collection of six neon polishes with scattered holo effect.

This is two coats of Whatever and G & G HK Girl top coat.

 

Whatever has an excellent formula. It’s opaque with two coats and dries fast. This is a perfect shade of purple for my skintone so I might actually have to get this polish in full size.

Later today I’ll show another Different Dimension glitter topper from the new Echoes collection layered over this beauty so be sure to check back for that :)

Jindie Nails – sTEALth

4

Jindie Nails recently released Velvet Matte Duo polishes and here’s first of the two, sTEALth. Jen describes this polish as: “Matte, velvet finish deep teal crelly with blue, purple and green iridescent and color shifting glitters”. I LOVE this color! It is amazing! There’s depth matte polishes don’t usually have and when you add the top coat this is jaw dropping gorgeous! It’s like having two polishes in one, matte and super glossy. Can’t beat that!

This is three coats of sTEALth, first alone as matte polish and last two photos with top coat.

sTEALth has a very good formula and application was flawless. For shorter nails two coats would be enough but my longer nails needed three for opaque result. This stunning beauty is limited edition so get yours while you can!!

Different Dimension – Wish You Were Here

6

Today I have another Different Dimension polish from their new Echoes collection. This is Wish You Were Here and this polish, ladies and gentlemen is so blindingly bling it might be lethal out in the sunlight ;) Camera couldn’t even capture all the sparkle this one has but trust me, it’s amazing! On the photos you can also see how the large holographic circle glitter changes color depending on the angle of the light. I have one blurred shot to show you the amazing rainbow colors this has.

This is one coat of Color Club Where’s The Soiree? black creme, two thin coats of Wish You Were Here, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl top coat.

 

Wish You Were Here applies like your usual glitter bomb. I’m so used to these types of polishes nowadays that I had no issues with the application. I turned the bottle upside down for a bit before applying each coat and even the big circles came out just fine. This polish is absolutely stunning and it kinda gives my nails a certain galaxy manicure feeling.

Different Dimension polishes can be bought from their Etsy-store, they ship internationally. Their polishes are also sold at Llarowe, Mei Mei’s Signatures, Edgy Polish and Ledouxnuage.

Different Dimension – Money

4

I got the new Echoes collection from Different Dimension. This collection has six amazing shades, both glitter toppers and polishes you can wear alone. Echoes is inspired by Pink Floyd. I’m a little ashamed to admit I don’t know too many Pink Floyd songs but this collection has actually inspired me to go listen to a few.

I’ll show you these polishes one by one and in the end I’ll do a recap post with the whole collection. I’m gonna start with Money. This pale green crelly has a lot going on when it comes to glitter but everything goes together perfectly. I love green polish and the sparkling glitter in this polish made me stare at my nails and just sigh cos Money looked so beautiful.

 

Money has a good formula and it was easy to apply smoothly. I turned the bottle upside down for a bit before application and between each coat to help to get the bigger glitter circles out. Crelly base on Money is thin and sheer enough to create an awesome sandwich effect. This polish has great depth and glow.
This was three thin coats of Money, a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl Fast Drying + Super Shiny top coat.

Jindie Nails – Princess Consuela Banana Hammock

0

I have a habit of saving  the best for last. It could be food on my plate, candy in a bag or in this case, nail polish. Looking at bottle and swatch photos of Jindie Nails Spring Chic collection Princess Consuela Banana Hammock was the most interesting to me. I mean bright yellow glitter bomb! How can you not love that?

This is how this beauty is described on Jindie Nails website: “PCBH is a bright neon yellow crelly with a mix of matte satin red, orange, neon pink, neon orange, neon dark orange hex plus matte red tiny red stars.  Opaque in 2-3 coats”. Sounds great, right? And then there’s the awesome name :D Maybe some of you wonder what that is about. I love the tv show Friends. That show never gets old and watching it always puts me in a good mood :) Princess Consuela Banana Hammock is a name that Phoebe changed her name into in one of those funny, funny episodes. So enough with the babble and on with the photos…

This is three thin coats of Princess Consuela Banana Hammock, one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and HK Girl top coat.

 

 

Princess Consuela Banana Hammock’s formula is a bit on the thinner side so application was really easy. I turned the bottle upside down before application and in between of applying each coat to get the glitter out easily. The stars took a little bit of fishing but all the other glitter pieces came out nicely.

I had high hopes for this polish and it really met all my expectations. The color combination is great and just screams summer! Usually yellow polishes are such pain in the butt to apply and the end result is hardly ever worth the trouble. That’s not the case with this polish. Application was easy and the end result is definitely worth fishing for some stars ;)

ABC Challenge – S is for Strawberry Swing

26

For this week I had a plenty of choices but I was also dying to try out my new Crazy Polish Lady polishes. Luckily one of them is called Strawberry Swing ;) This is from the “Colors are the music of my life” collection which has eight awesome shades.

 

Strawberry Swing is pink perfection in the bottle! Application is flawless. I hardly even needed to do any clean up. Two coats is enough for opaque result. This is packed with holographic micro-glitter so it dries a little rough and top coat is definitely needed. I absolutely LOVE this color! Bright, clean pink without being neon and the micro-glitter gives it the extra little twist of goodness.

I have previously tried two other polishes from this collection and both had the same excellent quality and formula this one has. 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.

 

Jindie Nails – Fun Intended

2

I have two more polishes to show you from the new Spring Chic collection from Jindie Nails and here’s the first of those two, Fun Intended. Here’s how it’s described on Jindie Nails website: “Fun Intended is a bright pastel neon pink crelly with a mix of neon pink, neon orange, metallic silver, metallic orange, metallic magenta & tiny white stars, hex, short bars & dots plus neon pink butterflies”. This will also be available without the stars later on.

 

Fun Intended is super cute and glossy bubblegum pink glitter bomb. I absolutelty adore this! It’s so girly and the color combination is just delicious. I’m a big fan of star shaped glitter so different colored stars in this are just perfection for me. Fun Intended applies well and glitter pieces come out of the bottle easily as long as you remember to turn it upside down for a bit before application.

Born Pretty Store review – Stamping plate

2
I got this stamping plate to try out from Born Pretty Store. They have a wide selection of stamping plates to choose from. I’ve been wanting a plate with rose images so that is what I chose to try out. I’m very happy with the quality of the plate. Images are easy to pick up with both my XL Stamper and Konad Stamper. The rose patterns are quite pretty and there is different styles to choose from. The plate has 15 images altogether.
For this look I used my yesterday’s Delush Polish Opalesque as a base color. I used black Konad special polish for the stamping and Color Club Where’s The Soiree? for the dotting tool dots. Images were a lot clearer before the top coat, Inm Out The Door Northern Lights Holographic top coat. Black Konad polish smudges so easy and this is what happened here too :/ From now on I’ll use some other black polish for stamping.
I really like the long rose pattern on my ring finger. I love it that on a small plate like this there’s a pattern big enough to cover my whole long nail. All of the images on this plate are very pretty and usable. I think I’ll be using this quite a lot on some summer-y nail art designs :)
You can buy this plate from Born Pretty Store and they also have a wide range of other nail art supplies. Born Pretty Store offers free worldwide shipping. Please use the code “NZL91” when you order and get extra -10% discount.

Delush Polish – Opalesque

4

I recently placed my first order with indie brand Delush Polish and my pretties arrived in about a week.  Today I have the first one of the two, Opalesque to show you. This is a pale mint-y crelly with opalescent glitters and beautiful subtle shimmer.

 

I’m really impressed with the quality of this polish. The application was absolutely flawless and two coats was enough for opaque result. This applied so smoothly that I didn’t even need to use Glitter Food and I use that with 95% of my glitter polishes.

On the photos I have two coats of Opalesque and HK Girl top coat.

This was my first Delush Polish order but I can already tell you it wasn’t the last. Delush Polish has an Etsy store and they ship internationally. You can also follow Delush Polish on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
