Starting the new year with vampy claws
End of the year was so busy for me that I didn’t get to even do my nails. I was running around with nekkid nails most of the December. I also fixed the gel layover on my left hand nails twice and never had time to do the right hand. Pathetic! Right before New Year’s Eve I decided that enough is enough and I refuse to welcome the new year with horrible nails. So I finally managed to reshape my nails and fill in the UV-gel layover. I painted them just couple of hours before midnight. So obviously I stayed at home and took it easy New Year’s Eve :P
Essence the gel nail polish – 23 Wonderfuel
I recently visited the Essence stand in a local store and bought five polishes. Here’s a first of those five, 23 Wonderfuel from their the gel nail polish line. This polish isn’t an actual gel polish that requires UV-light to dry. It dries like a normal polish but it’s said to be long lasting. Since I have the UV-gel layover on my nails I can’t really say much about how long this lasts cos the gel layover pretty much makes every polish long lasting.

Matching Nails & Makeup – My Mother’s Day Look
It’s been a while since I did a “Matching Nails & Makeup” post so here we go. I did this look for Mother’s Day. I started by wanting to do neutral/nude eyes and bright red lipstick and nails and ended up with something else. I remembered my new e.l.f. Disney Elsa palette and wanted to use that. I also had to use fake lashes again cos it’s the pollen season. I’ve been having such bad allergies and I’ve been rubbing my eyes (it’s not a smart thing to do, I know) so hard I’ve lost some lashes too.
My newest Dollish Polish pretties
Hello lovelies! As you have probably noticed I’ve been on a short break. I’ve just felt completely drained out of energy and tried to charge my batteries a little. Yeah, I have too much to do, no charging happening any time soon so I just better get back on the saddle and suck it up ;) I’ll start by publishing the posts when ever and after I get a few more of them ready I’ll start the regular scheduled posts again.
So here’s two new additions to my ever growing Dollish Polish collection. These are from the Pulp Fiction collection and as I write this they are both available at Dollish Polish webstore.
First we have English Mother F*ucker, Do You Speak It?
“soft rose/berry shade has a subtle metallic sheen with a hint of red & pink glass flecks”
This was almost a one coater for me but I applied two. So easy to apply nice and smooth. Dry time was quick too. I wore this for at least 4 days and there was no chipping. Very good quality and lovely color! I also love the fact that I can see the shimmer on the nails too and it’s not only visible in the bottle.
On the photos I’m wearing one coat of Essie Nourish Me, one coat of Glisten & Glow Stuck On Blu!, two coats of English Mother F*ucker, Do You Speak It? and HK Girl top coat.
The other one I bought from this collection is Zed’s Dead Baby, Zed’s Dead.
“a rich mossy olive green, loaded with green iridescent flakes & micro flakes”
This one is more jelly like but still opaque with two coats. Also easy to apply and dried fast. Flakes are quite visible on this one and I just love this shade of green. I think this would also make a great base for stamping.
This is one coat of Essie Nourish Me, one coat of Glisten & Glow Stuck On Blu!, two coats of Zed’s Dead Baby, Zed’s Dead and HK Girl top coat.

Delush Polish – Orchid Situation
Today I have another lovely Delush Polish shade for you. This is Orchid Situation from 2014 Essence of Summer Collection. This polish is discontinued but is still available on Delush Polish store for a discounted price.
I absolutely love this color! The shade of purple goes really well with my skin tone and the green/turquoise shimmer makes this polish very unique.
Formula on this was excellent. Very easy to apply and opaque with two coats, though longer nails might need three. Dry time was super fast and no chipping in three days. Removal was also easy and there was no staining.
For this manicure I used a coat of Essie Nourish Me, a coat of Glisten & Glow Stuck On Blu!, two coats of Orchid Situation and HK Girl top coat. The square studs are from Born Pretty Store.
***Orchid Situation was purchased by me. Studs were sent for review. I don’t benefit from clicking the links on this post in any way.
Jindie Nails – Baby Love, My Baby Love
Hey! It’s Thursday and it means the weekend is almost here!
Today I have a new Jindie Nails polish to show you. This is Baby Love, My Baby Love, a gorgeous sheer peachy pink glitter polish in an amazing shimmer base. This one has such a glow to it and the mix of glitters is just awesome. Sheer base leaves this looking very light and delicate when worn alone and that makes it perfect for spring and summer. This one is just lovely!
Formula was on a thin side and easy to apply perfectly. Thin formula also makes this good for applying more than one or two coats and with three coats you get a lot of glow and enough glitter. I turned the bottle upside down before application and did a little bit of fishing for the biggest glitter pieces. This applied very evenly and there was no need for glitter placement. I chose to wear this alone cos I love how feminine it looks that way but you can layer this over a creme polish to have an opaque look and make the shimmer pop out even more.
This is a coat of Glisten & Glow Stuck On Blu!, three thin coats of Baby Love, My Baby Love and Rica Glossy Glam top coat.
I don’t have a release date for this polish yet so follow Jindie Nails social media accounts and keep your eyes peeled for it.
You can buy Jindie Nails polishes from JindieNails.com or from authorized distributors. You can find the latest news, releases and restock info from their FB and IG.

Delush Polish – Trendsetter
Happy Saturday lovelies! Quick post today as I’m trying to survive here in the sickhouse. It’s been a week of only a couple of hours of sleep per night (if that) and I’m starting to look and feel like I’m ready to go play a part of a zombie in Walking Dead ;) Kids are still sick and the little man is so sick that I needed to take him to the doctor and now he is getting antibiotics to help him beat an ear infection and what not.
But enough of that and on to the polish :) This stunning blue-ish grey metallic shimmer is Delush Polish Trendsetter from the Nue Collection. Great formula, easy application and opaque with two coats. Hardly any visible brush strokes and very quick dry time. Perfect!
This is a coat of Essie Nourish Me, a coat of Glisten & Glow Stuck On Blu!, two coats of Trendsetter and HK Girl top coat.

Jindie Nails – Phone, Keys, Polish, Check! and The Blue That Holds Us Together
Today I have two awesome polishes by Jindie Nails. These are sister polishes Phone, Keys, Polish, Check! and The Blue That Holds Us Together.
These are really vibrant colored jelly polishes packed with glitter, microglitter, holographic glitter, and shimmer. Absolutely stunning!!!
Phone, Keys, Polish, Check! is a one coater! One generous coat was enough for an opaque result. Application was excellent and dry time was quick. This dries a little rough so I applied two coats of top coat to get a smoother result.
This is one coat of Essie Beam Me, a coat of Phone, Keys, Polish, Check! and two coats of HK Girl top coat.
The Blue That Holds Us Together had an equally excellent formula and application. Though for this I applied two thinner coats. This was also a bit top coat hungry so again I applied two coats of top coat.
This is a coat of Essie Beam Me, two coats of The Blue That Holds Us Together and two coats of HK Girl.
Aaaahhh!! I’m so in love with these! They are even more vibrant and sparkling in real life!

KIKO 512
I bought my first KIKO polishes from the Black Friday weekend sales and after swatching all of them on the plastic tips I’m quite excited about them. I will definitely get more of these :D
This is KIKO 512. On their website it’s described as metallic rosy taupe. Rosy taupe I agree with but when it comes to nail polish metallic is a finish to me and this one is clearly a creme with very fine pink shimmer. Gorgeous color!
Formula was good. Application was very smooth and easy. This was opaque with two coats and dry time was fast. For this manicure I used a coat of Essie Nourish Me, a coat of Glisten & Glow Stuck On Blu!, two coats of KIKO 512 and HK girl top coat.
