Jindie Nails - Fall Chic and Halloween Collection Swatches & Review

Sorry for the lack of posts this week; everything has been crazy with all the sports games, being the only one in the office this week from my department, and now I've seem to caught a flu. However, last night I sat down and swatched some polishes from Jindie Nails Fall Chic and Halloween Collections.

From the Fall Chic Collection

Breakfast at Tiffany's Cousin's:



 
This a lovely teal / seafoam / Tiffany blue polish with circle glitters in blue, green, and silver shades. I am wearing two coats topped with Glisten & Glow - HK Girl.

What Are You Smokin Mirrors:




This shade is a pretty gray cream/crelly with glitters of silver and gold. I am wearing two coats topped with Glisten & Glow HK Girl.

Shimmer Me Timbers:




This shade is a great green jelly with multiple colors of circle glitters. There are also shimmers all throughout this shade which adds a little something extra. Jindie Nails warns that this shade may stain a little but comes off easier and recommends using a good basecoat. I used two coats of polish topped with Glisten & Glow HK Girl.

Rhythm and Blue:



 

In my opinion, this is the stunner of the collection. Look at this blue with shimmer and circle glitters which dries to a matte finish; this would also look so great topped with a shiny topcoat.

Midnight Rainbow:




This is a dramatic black jelly polish with multicolored circle glitters and rainbow shimmers. I am wearing three coats of polish topped with Glisten & Glow HK Girl.

From the Halloween Collection

Blood, Bath & Beyond:




This shade is a lovely blood red crelly with multiple colored and sized circle glitters. I am wearing two coats topped with Glisten & Glow HK Girl.

Overall, all of these polishes are really pretty and had nice application, especially for having some larger glitters.

Make sure to check out these and all the other polishes available on Jindie Nails website! And follow up with Jen on Facebook for latest re-stock and new collection information.

So which shade was your favorite?

Jindie Nails - Swatches!

I recently showed you some of my new Jindie Nails polishes (here) and today I have a couple other polishes to share with you that Jen provided for my review.

First Up, Hex on the Beach:





Jen describes this shade as "Hex on the Beach is available in full and medium size.  This is one of five shades in the Summer Chic Collection.  This polish has a white crelly base with matte, opaque baby pink, peach, red, orange, pastel yellow and canary yellow dots, diamonds & hex.  This also has metallic copper & light pink dots & hex throughout plus a gorgeous peach shimmer.  Opaque in 2-3 coats." This shade is seriously gorgeous. The more I look at my pictures, the more I just want to wear it all the time, and I am pretty sure that you know how I feel about white crelly bases! GAH! I am wearing two coats of Hex on the Beach with a topcoat of HK Girl. 

Next up, She Blinded me with Science:





Jen describes this polish as, "She Blinded me with Science LE (limited edition) nail polish will be available for a limited time in full and medium size.  It has a pale pink crelly base with multiple sizes of neon, holographic and metallic dots, squares, diamonds, rectangles and hex glitters.  This polish features small, medium and large silver holographic dots, small & medium & extra large matte black dots, large metallic turquoise dots plus lime green large metallic dots, matte pale purple dots, white dots and moons plus matte gray moons. 3-free, cruelty free." I love this shade as well! I am wearing two coats of She Blinded me with Science topped with HK Girl. This has such a neat mix of colored glitters in it!

Finally, we have That Purple Ish:





Jen describes this as, "That Purple Ish nail polish is available in full and medium size.  This shade is one of 5 in the Summer Chic Collection.  It has a periwinkle purple crelly base loaded with silver shimmer and an assortment of wine, purple, lilac, lavender, hot pink, navy and magenta dots, squares and hex.  The base is a crelly base that is opaque in about 2-3 coats.  Looks great on its own with no base coats.  3-free." I am wearing two coats of this shade and topped it with HK Girl. It's such a pretty purple shade it will definitely be making a permanent spot in the "go-to" purple indie rotation. 

I also have one additional polish from Jen, a glitter topped, which will get its own post :)

Which of these shades is your favorite? I am not sure I could decide if I had to!

Jindie Nails - Betty's Fetti Milkshake and Don't Get It Citrus Twisted

Today I am sharing with you two lovely Jindie Nails polishes that I recently purchased.

First up, Betty's Fetti Milkshake:





Jen describes this shade as "White crelly base with all fine and ultra-fine micro-matte hex in opaque pastels and opaque & transparent neon hex.  Named after the the funfetti cookies, I wanted a different name since there are so many funfetti, cake sprinkle, cookie sprinkle, etc. polish names out there, this seemed fitting and different at the same time.  The fine and ultra fine hex glitters are all matte finish and the colors include all matte glitters in gray, black, white, bright pastel yellow, bright canary yellow, matte bubblegum pink, bright pastel/baby pink, neon pink, neon coral, neon hot orange, neon blue, neon green, neon yellow, neon orange, pastel peach, dark purple, neon purple, bright kelly green, bright pastel purple, dark green, satin teal, red  and there may be one or two more colors I've forgotten, it's full of colors!! This is very fun and cute for the summer!" I am wearing two coats of Betty's Fetti Milkshake topped with Glisten and Glow HK Girl. I really love how jam packed with micro glitters this polish is!

Next up we have, Don't Get It Citrus Twisted:





Jen describes this shade as "This is a bright neon green crelly with matte opaque kelly green, pastel yellow and canary yellow dots and extra large hex, neon pink hex and opaque baby pink dots and extra large hex with gorgeous silver shimmer.  Opaque in about 3 coats." Although Jen mentions 3 coats here in the description, I am wearing only two and it is pretty much opaque. Some of the larger glitters are hard to keep placed on the nail without dragging but the final look of this shade is super fun and bright for summer!

Jen also provided me with some mini's for review so stay tuned to see more Jindie Nails polishes.

Liquid Lacquer - Pepto Puke

Happy Monday Loves!!!

Today I am showing you Liquid Lacquer Pepto Puke. If you have been following my blog for any amount of time you know that I love my Liquid Lacquer polishes, I *feel* like I own almost all of them, but since I don't actually, I always keep my eyes peeled while scrolling through blog sales to find Limited Editions that I wasn't able to get my nails on. ;) Anyway, Pepto Puke was one of those lucky finds! There were 3 bottles made of this and now I am one of those lucky 3!





Polishes Used:
-Nail Tek II
-Liquid Lacquer - Pepto Puke
-Gelous
-HK Girl

I don't have an official description but if I had to describe this shade it would be a barbie pink crelly polish with green, purple, orange, and translucent glitters in multiple sizes. (Clearly I am not meant to be a polish describer lol)

Although Pepto Puke isn't available for sale, Melissa is always coming up with tons of gorgeous shades for her customers. You can follow her on Facebook and check out her Big Cartel shop as well!

Lacquer by Lissa - Glitter Toppers!

Happy Hump-Day!

Today I will be showing you two pretty glitter toppers from a new Indie brand, Lacquer by Lissa. Melissa, the owner, recently opened up an Etsy shop and will be coming out with some new summer colors soon. Also, she is from Pittsburgh and I love supporting a fellow Pittsburgh-er.

Anyway, I picked up two Lacquer By Lissa polishes, Iceberg and Won't You Be Me Crohnie?




First up, Iceberg:





Melissa describes this polish as, "This polish is a clear base with black, white, teal, and holographic glitters suspended inside. Among the glitter you will find squares, rectangles, and hex shapes. Iceberg is inspired by my city’s hockey team, the Penguins. The contrast of the black and white glitter with the teal and holographic glitter is incredibly eye catching!" I am wearing one coat of Iceberg overtop of GOSH Venus. There were plenty of glitters in this polish and it was easy to apply :) 

Next up, Won't You Be My Crohnie?:

Without Flash, in Shade
With Flash




Melissa describes this polish as, "This polish is a clear base with tons of different shades and sizes of purple holographic glitter ranging from dark to light, and there are also some holographic butterflies floating around in there as well. Won’t You Be My Crohnie? was made to raise awareness for Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. The awareness ribbon color is purple, and symbol is butterflies. 1.4 million Americans are currently suffering from these conditions; many people are unaware of their prevalence and impact. Help us spread awareness with this gorgeous polish!" I am once again wearing only one coat of the glitter topper over Catrice Denim Moore. This is jam packed with glitter and I sort of had a little trouble getting it to spread evenly, but it wasn't too bad overall. I decided to do a fun glitter gradient with a full glitter accent nail because I liked both the undies and the topper in this combo :)
