Jindie Nails Hipstar and Mango with the Flow

Hello Lovelies! I have been having a Jindie Nails party here and I can't believe that I'm already at the end of the Spring Collection pretties that Jen sent me. I have covered Fantastical, Nude Beach, Pickled Tink, Princess Consuela Bananahammock, and Fun Intended. Last, here is the gorgeous Hipstar and Mango with the Flow.

Here is Jindie Nails Hipstar.
Hipstar has a "greyed purple base with assorted hex, circle and star glitter."
I did no fishing for glitters. However, if you would want your mani to look more glittery than mine, you could simply tip the bottle upside down between each nail to bring all of the larger glitters to the top of the bottle. Also, swirling the brush/wand around helps "wake up" those sleepy glitters that like to hide along the sides of the bottle.
Again, for this mani, I did not fish for glitters at all.
It took two coats of Hipstar, one coat of Gelous, and one coat of Seche Vite to acheive this look.
Hipstar layered beautifully, allowing the glitters to peek through from each coat.
I can't even begin to explain how unique this grey/purple base is, nor can I summarize how astonishing this 'grurple' looks with the perfect amount of glitters.

Here is Jindie Nails Mango with the Flow.
Mango with the Flow has a "bright pastel peach crelly base with glowing iridescent & silver hex glitters, shimmer and rainbow sparkle."
It's difficult to narrow down my favorite thing about this polish...
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!
>it has rainbow sparkles
>it's a peach crelly
>it's a two coater
>it's a Jindie!
>it's shimmery
>it's fan-freaking-tastic
>it's called Mango with the Flow!
>it has glowing iridescent & silver hex glitters
It took two coats of Mango with the Flow to reach full opacity. I found Mango with the Flow was a touch on the thicker side, which was no problem. It still spread evenly and beautifully for me.
 
To complete the mani, I used one coat of Gelous to smooth the glitters and one coat of Seche Vite as topcoat and to speed dry time.

To purchase Hipstar and Mango with the Flow, or other polishes by Jindie Nails, you can visit Jen's shop or her etsy shop. You can also shop on Llarowe. Make sure you head over and like Jindie Nails on FB to stay updated on restocks and new polish releases.

Jindie Nails Fun Intended

Hello Lovelies! Over the last few days, I have been sharing some of the prettiest spring polishes I've seen so far this year. Jen of Jindie Nails sent me more than a handful of her beauties and I have been having a blast spotlighting every one of them. So far, I've covered Fantastical, Nude Beach, Pickled Tink, and Princess Consuela Bananahammock. Let's continue this extravaganza with Fun Intended!
 
Here is Jindie Nails Fun Intended.
Fun Intended has a "medium pink jelly base with hot pink butterflies and assorted hex and star glitters."
It took two coats of Fun Intended to reach full opacity. I found that I had plenty of glitter on my brush every time I dipped it into the bottle, so there was never a need to fish for glitter.
To finish, I applied one coat of Gelous to smooth out the glitters and one coat of Seche Vite as topcoat and to speed dry time.
I was surprised to find that I thought this polish looked like a gorgeous watercolor painting once I had applied the Gelous and Seche Vite. My pictures are nowhere near as good as IRL, so you are going to have to trust me on this one.
This is one of the best "watercolor effect" pics I could get. ^.^

Have you snagged any polishes from Jindie Nails new Spring Chic Collection?

Jindie Nails Princess Consuela Bananahammock and Pickled Tink

Hello Lovelies! As I mentioned, over the next few days, I will be sharing my reviews and pics of the pretty spring polishes that Jen of Jindie Nails has sent me. I began with smashing reviews of Fantastical and Nude Beach. Now it's time to jump in and check out Princess Consuela Bananahammock and Pickled Tink!

Here is Jindie Nails Princess Consuela Bananahammock.
Princess Consuela Bananahammock is a "yellow crelly base with assorted hex and star glitter."
It took two coats of Princess Consuela Bananahammock to reach full opacity, one coat of Gelous, and one coat of Seche Vite to acheive this look.
I love how this polish is packed with hot colored glitters!
 

Here is Jindie Nails Pickled Tink.
Pickled Tink is a "hot pink jelly base with glowing blue and purple glitter, small silver dots, small light pink dots, small silver and light pink stars, and a few large light pink holo dots. Plus major color shift shimmer that shifts blue/purple/green/violet."
This polish is AMAZING!!! The color is stunning and the circle glitters add the perfect subtle accents.  
It took two coats of Pickled Tink to reach full opacity. This polish went on very smoothly and covered beautifully.
To complete the mani, I used one coat of Gelous to smooth the glitters and one coat of Seche Vite as topcoat and to speed dry time.
I adore this. ^.^
 
Both polishes are top quality and definitely wonderful additions to my collection! Jen just opened her shop today, so head over and grab as many as you can. :)

Jindie Nails Nude Beach

Hello Lovelies! I'm excited to share my second polish feature from the Spring Chic collection (available TODAY) that Jen of Jindie Nails sent me. I have already shown you Fantastical, so now I'm ready to dive into Nude Beach!

Here is Jindie Nails Nude Beach.
Nude Beach is a "nude crelly base with sand colored metallic sparkle, white hex and tiny stars plus just a few scattered matte purple tiny stars and of course, neon hex galore!"
It took three coats of Nude Beach to reach full opacity. There were loads of glitters in every brushstroke, so I never worried about not having enough.
IT.was.AWESOME!
I applied one coat of Gelous to smooth out the glitters and one coat of Seche Vite as topcoat.
I love the uniqueness that a nude crelly provides. I have grown so accustomed to being magnetically drawn to white crellies that my first impression of Nude Beach was, "Duuude! What the heck! It isn't white. That's so flipping awesome! I NEEEEED that on my nails. STAT!"
Well, it went something like that. Anywho...I LOVE the nude crelly! Period.

This polish is crammed full of glitter! I swear. I'm telling you this because I always wonder if pics are telling the real story, ya know? Well...rest assured lovely viewers, what you see in my pics is what you will get. I take pictures of exactly how my nails look when I applied the polish. If I had to move around glitters, I make sure that I tell you!

The final words on Nude Beach~it's a nude crelly and it has neon glitters. Need I say more?

To purchase Nude Beach (TODAY) or other polishes by Jindie Nails, you can visit Jen's shop here and you can also shop on Llarowe. Make sure you head over and like Jindie Nails on FB to stay updated on restocks and new polish releases.



Have a wonderific day and as always,

Happy Lacquering! =)

Jindie Nails Fantastical

Hello Lovelies! Over the next few days, I am going to be sharing some of the prettiest springy polishes I've seen so far this year. Jen of Jindie Nails has sent me more than a handful of these beauties and I plan on spotlighting every one of them. Let's kick this Spring Chic extravaganza off with Fantastical!

Here is Jindie Nails Fantastical.
Fantastical is a "melon pink crelly base with assorted hex, circle, square and star glitter."
There were no problems at all with glitters. I made sure to shake my bottle frequently to help the heavier glitters make their way to the top of the bottle.
It took two coats of Fantastical to reach full opacity and one coat of Gelous to smooth out the glitters. To finish the mani, I added one quick coat of Seche Vite and it was perfect.
 
I ADORE the melon pink and teal circle glitter combo!
I would definitely suggest adding this one to your shopping list on the next restock. Jen is aiming to open her shop on Saturday April 27. To stay updated, simply visit her FB page! ^.^

Elixir Lacquer With a K

Hello Lovelies! I have had this seriously super pretty polish in my collection, sitting on my shelf, collecting dust and just waiting to be in the spotlight.
 
So...here.she.is.

This is Lumina Lacquer With a K.
With a K has "silver and electric violet holographic micro glitter with red-violet prismatic hexagon glitter, suspended in a red-violet jelly base."
I used two coats of With a K for this mani and it applied beautifully. I had no problems with pooling, streaking, or dragging. The glitter was simply stunning in this gorgeous pink base. With a K dried quickly, too.
I love the holographic micro gliters!! ^.^ 
I used one coat of Seche Vite as topcoat and my mani was complete!

Lumina Lacquers 1000 Julys

Hello Lovelies! I hope you are all doing well. :) I was super happy to score one of Lumina Lacquer's gorgeous new releases during the last restock and I'm not kidding you when I say that it is 10x prettier in real life. Just take a look for yourself!

This is Lumina Lacquer 1000 Julys.
(I used one coat of Lumina Lacquer 1000 Julys over one coat of A England Bridal Veil undies.)
1000 Julys has "holographic stars, hearts, moons, and circle glitters with navy and black hexes and neon blues." 
I applied this polish using the dab method (placing a dollop of polish in the middle of my nail and evenly spreading the polish out to the edges). This worked very effectively to create a beautiful effect. :)
One coat of Gelous helped smooth out the glitters and one coat of Seche Vite worked perfectly to seal my mani and to help speed the dry time.
STUNNING!!
To purchase 1000 Julys and other polishes from Lumina Lacquers, you can visit the shop here. Also, make sure you head over and like Lumina Lacquer on FB to stay updated on restocks and new polish releases.

Rainbow Polish Summer Storm

Hello Lovelies! A few days ago, I was pleasantly surprised to receive one of the gorgeous bottles of polish from the new Escape Collection by Rainbow Polish. I love the idea of the Escape Collection~the colors vary from soft and subdued to bright and colorful. In my opinion, Tonya has done a fantastic job of capturing every facet of an escape...Jungle Paradise, Wild Orchid, Exotic Plumeria, Fish Lagoon, Stinging Jellyfish, Lava Flows, Tahitian Waters, and Summer Storm. :)

This is Rainbow Polish Summer Storm.
(I used one coat of Summer Storm over two coats of CG Pelican Gray undies.)
Summer Storm has "a light grey base with silver and light blue glitters throughout alone with a fine mist of shimmer."
 I was utterly impressed by this polish! It applied flawlessly (and looked so beautiful that I got distracted while I was trying to finish my mani!) and only required one coat to look perfect. No fishing for glitters and definitely no dragging.
All I needed to complete my manicure was one coat of Seche Vite as topcoat.
Simply gorgeous!
I have reviewed another polish from Rainbow Polish (Taffy) and I also loved it. And after staring at the pictures of the seven other polishes in the Escape Collection, I have no doubt in my mind that I would love to add them all to my own collection! Tonya has an amazing eye for creating eye-catching color combos. 
To purchase Summer Storm and other polishes from Rainbow Polish, you can visit Tonya on etsy or bigcartel. Also, make sure you head over and like Rainbow Polish on FB to stay updated on restocks and new polish releases.

Have a wonderful night and as always,
Happy Lacquering! =)
