Jindie Nails I'm A Star Dot Com

Hello Lovelies! Good Morning! I hope you are all having a wonderful Tuesday. I reeeeally enjoyed the sunshine yesterday and now I'm hoping for a snow-free week. @.@ Just saying "snow-free" sounds crazy. I know. 

Today, I am going to share my first polish I purchased from Jindie Nails. I was super excited when I scored this one and even happier once I got it on my nails!!

Let me show you!

 

This is Jindie Nails I'm A Star Dot Com.

I Am In LOVE With This Polish.

Two coats of I'm A Star Dot Com with one coat of FP Paper Mache undies.

I sealed the glitter with a coat of Gelous and then applied Seche Vite as a topcoat and to speed the drying process.

I'm A Star Dot Com is a "white crelly with extra large black dots, magenta large and magenta medium dots, plus holographic silver hex and stars, gunmetal hex plus tiny black stars."

I found I'm A Star Dot Com was best applied after tipping the bottle upside down first for a bit (to get the larger glitters up to the top). Between each brushstroke, I swirled my brush to collect as many glitters as possible. The polish spread very easily for me and by using the techniques I mentioned, I was able to get a gorgeous variety of glitters on each nail.

 

I'm A Star Dot Com is such a stunning polish with a startling mix of glitters that immediately catches your eye (and anyone around you!). I thought I was going to go bonkers over the extra large black dots, but it wasn't just those dots that hooked me~it's the whole combo that is mind boggling! As far as I'm concerned, this is a MUST HAVE for anyone who loves glitter...or stars...or dots. ^.^

Have a fantabulous Tuesday and as always,

 

Happy Lacquering! =)

Mod Lacquer Flavor Crystals and Moonbeam

Hello Lovelies! I have been completely blown away by the quality and beauty of the Mod Lacquers I've swatched over the week-end. And the two polishes I have left to show you are beyond gorgeous!

First up is Mod Lacquer Flavor Crystals.

This is two coats of Flavor Crystals with CG Sweet Hook as undies.  It's sooo dreamy!!

Flavor Crystals is "a transparent lavender jelly base with white square and hex glitter as well as lavender and purple hex glitters."

The base of this polish reminds me of a yummy grape soda and the glitters really pop! ^.^

*I used one coat of Gelous to smooth out the glitter and Seche Vite as a topcoat.

I got more compliments on this polish than I can count on both hands!! I absolutely love it and I can say with confidence that I'll need a backup for this one! =)

 

And now I'd like to share Mod Lacquer Moonbeam.

This is Moonbeam with A England Camelot undies.

Moonbeam is a "duo-chrome nail polish. The primary color is a bright blue that shifts to purple." Ahhhh...

I was mesmorized by the color flashes between blue and purple in this polish.

It's simply stunning over Camelot.

*I used one coat of Seche Vite on this mani as a topcoat.

 

If you are not a Mod Lacquer owner yet, I urge you to take the plunge. The polishes are amazing to work with and they look FANTASTIC!! ^.^

Mod Lacquer Nonpareils and Retro Disco

Hello Lovelies! I am TOTALLY excited to share a fabulous new (to me) handmade polish line called Mod Lacquer. These polishes are top quality and a pleasure to wear. I will definitely be wearing both of these again very soon!

The first polish I want to share with you from Mod Lacquer is Nonpareils.

Nonpareils "is a milky white jelly base with a variety of different colors and sizes of glitter." I am sooo in love with rainbow glittered white based polishes. ^.^

It took four coats to achieve full opacity.

The formula was great~although it was on the thin side, the polish built up beautifully with no pooling.

 

The second polish I want to show you is Mod Lacquer Retro Disco.

This is two coats of Retro Disco over CC Harp On It (holo).

Retro Disco "is a multi-color holographic glitter polish in a clear base." It's like a tiny little holo party on my fingernails!

Urban Lacquer Swanky Panky

Hello Lovelies! Last night I reviewed a fantastic polish from Urban Lacquer called Hurry Me Up. You can check that out here. Today, I have another beauty from Urban Lacquer called Swanky Panky to show you!

This is Urban Lacquer Swanky Panky (no undies).

Swanky Panky " is a translucent, glitter-packed polish, with a shimmery, pinkish-lavender base. It contains a variety of pink, turquoise, silver, and purple glitter."

The formula of Swanky Panky is perfect! It went on like a dream~the glitter came out evenly and super smooth. Here I used three coats to reach full opacity.

One coat of Seche Vite and Swanky Panky is ready to go!

Next, I tried Swanky Panky with a coat of CG Spontaneous as undies.

I was able to reach full opacity in one coat here. I love the glitter coverage of this polish--it's just so stylish! ^.^

Urban Lacquer is quickly becoming one of my favorite new handmade polishes. 

These beauties arrive in the most sophisticated and AWESOME packaging~carefully wrapped up in black tissue paper and sealed with a chic heart sticker. Of course, I tore mine open and thought about taking pics after. Next time I get a package from Urban Lacquer, I promise to take a picture before tearing into the package like a little girl on Christmas!  ^.^

Urban Lacquer Hurry Me Up

Hello Lovelies! I woke up this morning to discover that my kids and I had a snow day, so we had a movie marathon (and I got to play with my nail polish!!!). And in that time, I did a lot of bonus swatching...so hold on to your hats. Because I've got a gorgeous, GORGEOUS polish from Urban Lacquer to share with you.

This is Urban Lacquer Hurry Me Up.

Here's Hurry Me Up in three coats all by itself (no undies).

Hurry Me Up "is a unique blend of micro iridescent pink flakies, neon yellow hex glitter, and black shredded glitter in a clear base."

After wearing it alone, I decided to try it with some undies.

 

Since I couldn't find a color that fit just right, I had a little fun mixing. And I found the perfect combo!

This is two coats of CG Flying Dragon (Neon) with one coat of CG 108 Degrees.

Here is Hurry Me Up with undies.

The formula of this polish is amazing~the glitters, flakies and shreds went on so smoothly it was hard to believe this was a glitter polish! I only needed one thin coat of Gelous over the glitter to smooth it out.

Hurry Me Up is so vibrantly charming and eye-catching, it's hard not to fall in love with it.

I am officially an Urban Lacquer fan and I'm anxious to add more polishes to my collection. I highly recommend you take a peek at the gorgeous polishes~you'll be happy that you did! ^.^

I've got one more Urban Lacquer coming up and you won't want to miss it!

F4 Polish Strawberry Shortcake and Shattered Rainbow

Hello again, Lovelies! I am so happy to be sharing more F4 Polish with you today. Both of these polishes are beautiful in their own way~let me show you!!

This is F4 Polish Strawberry Shortcake.

Strawberry Shortcake is a delicious mix of matte white hexes and bright pink microfine glitter in a soft pink base.

This is three coats of Strawberry Shortcake with no undies. Yummy goodness!

I used one coat of Seche Vite to top off this mani. I am gaga over the white hexes in this one! They really do look like little scoops of whipped cream floating in a sea of strawberry heaven. Mmmmm...

 

And here is F4 Polish Shattered Rainbow.

(Shattered Rainbow is shown with A England Bridal Veil undies.)

This is one fantastic rainbow glitterbomb!

Have I mentioned that I love glitterbombs?? Well...I DO! And I love the colorful glitters in Shattered Rainbow, but once I saw the black shards, it was all over. 

Now I'm totally obsessed with this one!!

To get this effect, I had to glob the polish in the middle of my nail (which is normal to acheive most glitterbombs) and spread it around to even it out.

I am VERY happy with how awesome Shattered Rainbow looks over A England Bridal Veil. The holo underneath the glitter really makes the polish POP!

I used one good coat of Gelous to smooth out the glitter and one coat of Seche Vite as a topcoat and to speed up the drying time.

F4 Polish Avalanche

Hello Lovelies! We have been getting sooooo much snow this winter and I am definitely not a snow person. Are you? I bundle up under blankets and have my fireplace on every night because I'm always freezing cold! I miss going to the beach...we live about 3 miles from Lake Michigan. Thank goodness it's almost March!

So when F4 Polish sent me a trio of polishes to review, of course I was super excited! I have this process when I get new polishes...I unwrap each polish and set them side by side. Then I pick up each one and study the colors to see how they work together and play off each other (my art teacher side comes out in full swing). After that, I swatch them on my nail wheel with different color combos to find what I like the best! ANYway, the point of this very long intro was that my eyes are always drawn to one polish first.

And the first one that caught my eye was...Avalanche! Oh, the sweet irony! :)

 

Here is F4 Polish Avalanche.

Avalanche is a white based polish full of all kinds of glittery goodness.

The formula for Avalanche was good. It was a bit thinner than I'm used to, so I was nervous that it would take forever to reach full opaqueness. But it built up very nicely in three coats.

One coat of Seche Vite and this rainbow is ready! I LOVE it!

I've got two more pretties from F4 Polish coming up next that you are going to want to see!

 

I hope you have a fantastic day and as always,
 

Happy Lacquering! =)

6 Harts Polish Summer Skies & Ninja Bat

Hello Lovelies! Happy Tuesday to you! It's a perfect day to stay inside and write to you about two gorgeous polishes that I absolutely love. Both of these are from 6 Harts Polish and they are each unique in their own way.

Let me show you!

 

Here is 6 Harts Polish Summer Skies.

This polish has a slight duochrome shift, but what I am in love with is the the shimmer! It's gold! >.<

Summer Skies took three coats to reach full opacity and it was worth every single one! That last coat was like opening a door and looking at the most gorgeous sky you can imagine~shimmer and all!

If you can't tell, I am in love with Summer Skies. ^.^ I used one coat of Sech Vite as a topcoat for these pics.

 

The second polish I want to share with you is 6 Harts Polish Ninja Bat.

This is Ninja Bat with A England Bridal Veil as undies. You can definitely see that Ninja Bat has some ninja skills here~a slight duochrome pigment in a clear base combined with 9 different glitters. Sly one, huh?

This is one coat of Ninja Bat and it looks great! The polish went on easily, which was extremely nice. Ninja Bat is not quite a glitterbomb, but a sneaky little ninja glitterbaby. I used one coat of Gelous to seal the glitter and one coat of Seche Vite as topcoat for this mani.

 

 I loved Summer Skies for being so darn beautiful that I officially can't wait for winter to be OVER! And I loved Ninja Bat for being so darn sneaky that I truly appreciated a polish that wasn't a glitterbomb!
