Jindie Nails - Rave

Oh man, you guys. I'm the worst. Sorry that I've been absent for so long. Motivation has been severely lacking lately but I'm back on the train & I've got a great polish to show you today!

Jindie Nails Rave is a beautiful white crelly (creme/jelly) base filled with a ton of different types of neon glitter. There's circular, hex, large, small & medium glitters, some of which are semi-transparent. It all makes for a very pretty polish with a ton of depth & interest.

The formula on this polish was spot on. The glitter came out evenly & easily & it was opaque in 3 coats. The only ones that I felt I was kind of fishing for were the large magenta circular glitters, but as you can see I managed to get out quite a few of them. Dry time for this was pretty good. I used a quick dry topcoat for the manicure pictured above.

I'm a huge fan of indie polishes, so I was super excited to get to try out Jindie Nails. I'd read so many good things about the brand online & now I can say that I definitely agree! This polish is a stunner & I'm happy that it's part of my collection.

Dollish Polish - Big Bang Theory Collection

Today I have 3 of the 4 Big Bang Theory polishes from Dollish Polish! As soon as I found out that this collection was a thing, I HAD to have it! I'm a bit behind the curve when it comes to loving Big Bang Theory, but I've recently started watching it nonstop. I only scooped up 3 of the 4 because 1 of them was super similar to another polish that I recently purchased. Dollish Polish describes each polish as follows: BAZINGA! (red, white, & yellow glitters, in a multitude of shapes & sizes, including squares, rectangles & large black dots all in a slightly tinted yellow base), Coitus (small & medium hexagon glitters in pink, periwinkle, turquoise, gold & white gold with tiny silver micro glitters all in a clear base) & I'm Not Crazy, My Mother Had Me Tested (a full cornucopia of colors, shapes & sizes, all in a clear base).

The photos below are 2 coats of each polish over 1 coat of Zoya's Purity.

The following pic is a quick mani that I did tonight. The main color is Deborah Lippmann Shoshanna with Dollish Polish Coitus as an accent nail. Shoshanna, from the Girls collection, is a lovely violet color with an ever-so-slight shimmer that was opaque in 2 coats. The photo is 2 coats of Shoshanna, 2 coats of Coitus on the accent nail & 1 coat of Orly Sec'n Dry over everything.

Please no judging based on my tiny, nubbin nails. The first day of my new job was this past Friday & my drive home took over an hour...the anxiety kicked in & my nice, long nails were GONZO. They are in recovery & appreciate your patience, haha.

Overall, I love these Big Bang Theory glitters & I'm super psyched to fully use them in manicures in the future! The formula on Coitus was great...good glitter payoff & not too clumpy. Based solely upon the nail wheel swatches, the other polishes had good formulas as well. These are my first Dollish Polish polishes & I hope to have many more in the future! The one polish that I didn't buy from this collection is Penny...Penny...Penny... & that's mostly because I felt like it looked a little too similar to the All That Glitters Dream On polish featured HERE, although I'd love to see a comparison just to be sure!

I purchased these polishes from Llarowe, but they can also be purchased directly from Dollish Polish.

Did you pick up any of the Big Bang Theory polishes? Do you have any other Dollish Polish polishes? Let me know in the comments!

All That Glitters - Bitter Hearts Collection (Heart Burn & Dream On)

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays, if for no other reason than everything is pink & sparkly. These 2 polishes from All That Glitters are no exception! They are part of the Bitter Hearts collection, which consists of 12 limited edition glitter polishes with cheeky names like C U Never, Go Away, I Luv Me & Just Lust. The 2 that I have for you today are Heart Burn (bright pink jelly base with black, white, iridescent, silver bar & black & white heart glitter) & Dream On (pastel pink creme base with gold & gunmetal glitter). The swatches below are 3 coats of polish, 1 coat of Gelous & 1 coat of Julep's Fast Dry Top Coat.

The base color of Dream On is something that I probably wouldn't wear on its own, but the addition of the gold & gunmetal glitter make this polish sweet, classic & interesting. I can definitely see myself turning to this polish when I need something with subtle flash. I had a little bit of a bubbling issue, but I think that was the topcoat's fault. Womp.

Heart Burn is such a complex, beautiful polish that I keep catching myself staring at my nails trying to fully figure it out. My camera was having a heart attack trying to capture the color & glitter correctly, so these pictures don't quite do it justice. The jelly base gives it a great depth & I love the flash of the iridescent & tiny silver bar glitters. The hearts took a little bit of digging to get on the brush, but the extra time was totally worth it! (TIP: Turn this polish upside down for a few hours before use, it helps the heart glitters sink to the top so you can reach them!)

These polishes are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to flashiness, but I love them both equally! The formulas were both good for being so glitter-heavy & dry time was pretty quick. I didn't have any application problems other than having to fish out the heart glitter in Heart Burn, but that's to be expected with large, shaped glitter. Eggnog Wasted was my first All That Glitters polish & I really loved it...now that I'm equally as impressed with these 2, I plan on picking up many more in the future!

Dream On & Heart Burn, as well as the rest of the Bitter Hearts collection, are currently still available on the All That Glitters Etsy page. If you are interested in any of these polishes, I would hurry over & place your order...since they are LE they will not be restocked when they sell out!

All That Glitters - Eggnog Wasted

I was feeling festive today, so I decided to use my new All That Glitters polish - Eggnog Wasted!

According to the All That Glitters Etsy shop, Eggnog Wasted is a "light cream colored base with gold, red, green, brown and copper glitter." It includes micro glitter, hexes and bar glitter all with great payoff. The formula wasn't too thick (as it can be with these types of polish) and didn't require any fishing for glitter!

The photos below are 2 coats of Eggnog Wasted with Duri Miracote top coat.

A lovely polish with an amusing name, what else could a girl ask for? All That Glitters has some great holiday polishes & I'm hoping to pick up a few more after how great this one was!
