LynBDesign - Black Dragon Pearl Tea

I am not gonna lie I bought the LynBDesign polishes mainly for the bottles they are so pretty. Thankfully I did not have to regret my decision the polishes are pretty great too. I used 3 coats of Black Dragon Pearl Tea  2 would have done but I smeared one of my nails and wanted to fix it up with another coat :).  It is a perfect smokey grey with just a hint of lavender undertone. Its a great spooky fog for my tree and moon. I used Yellow and Black stripe rite for the tree and moon.
I really hope to be better at nail art even when I do well on my left hand my right is a mess.

Here is a closer view of my handiwork never mind the cuticles they are horrid I'm working on it.

Emily De Molly Swatches

This is 3 coats each of Emily De Molly Somber Party and Version 2.0 (Accent). I only really needed 2 coats but as usual dinged them so added another.

Over all the formula was great for these and they do look much like they do in the bottle which is nice.

Dr Finklestein and Fallen Angel

Two indie polishes in one manicure :)
I used 2 coats of LynBDesigns Dr. Finklestein, which was layered over 2 coats of Above the Curve Fallen Angel. I then Stamped with my Snoopy stamp LO06 using 17 Teal.

Dr. Finklestein is described as a sheer blue base with a hint of green loaded with teal diamonds, blue hearts, small pale green and silver hexagons, and silver holographic glitters. As we all know I am in favor of polishes that apply like polishes.  Let me just say I did no fishing at all for those blue hearts, they came right out and went onto my nails with no problem what so ever. I love that so much about this polish. It looks almost exactly the same in the bottle as it does on your nails which is super nice. As I have said before it may have been the bottle that attracted me but it was the formula that kept me.

Above the Curve - Fallen Angel

I just received my order from Above the Curve, all the polishes were lovely but my favorite was Fallen Angel. 
Fallen Angel is described as a holographic with pink/purple/blue color shifting shimmer in a black base. It is really very pretty the pics just do not do it justice. These pics are 2 coats and it applied really very well. Now unless you put it over a black base I am sure you wont ever get an actual black color no matter how many coats. Its a very lovely scattered holographic polish that is  light to dark grey on its own. Its particularly beautiful outside but it is no slouch inside either. 

Bottle shot

Close up

Now I know with my shoddy camera skills it almost looks like salt and pepper glitter polish but I assure you it is not so. First it was way too easy to remove to be a glitter, and second it is not grainy at all it has a very smooth finish. 

Best of all when you buy this polish $1.00 from each bottle sold will be donated to Shriners Hospitals for Children. Polish and a gift to charity YOU CANNOT BEAT THAT!. 

Heat Stroke on Spring Street

I just got my order of Jindie Nails goodies and a package from my Adopt a Pal exchange group. I am super excited! 
I decided to use one polish from each package for my manicure. I started with 2 coats of NYC in Spring Street that my lovely pal sent, I added 2 coats of  Jindie Nails Heat Stroke, then topped it off with Seche Vite. 
Spring Street is a lovely bright red-orange colour and Heat Stroke a clear based glitter polish with   neon green UV reactive glitter, neon yellow and neon hot orange glitter. They match very well with each other.

 I wasn't planning to do any Nail art this was very pretty on its own but I was Halloween inspired.  I was looking at my nail plates and I ran across BM-305 again the plate with the little devils and I though, how perfect. I decided to add some flames first I used Stripe Rite Hot Orange, Red and Yellow to make flames then I stamped the little devils using Sinful Colors Black on Black. On my left hand I used the Black striper to fill in as my stamping didn't quite work out on that hand. I then added a bit more flame :)

Left Hand Done by Right Hand

Right Hand Done by Left Hand

I am really very happy with the way this turned out it is super cute. I like that it looks good on both hands Some times I'll do something  I love on one hand but then can't duplicate it on the other so I am pleased.

Jindie Nails - Zomboy

I don't know about you all but when I order or buy polish it is almost always several bottles at a time. I am almost same by eye make up  my stock of liners, shadows and mascara is almost as bad as my polishes.

I got this polish from Jindie Nails at the same time I bought Check the Candy. I have swatched all of the polishes I have because I'm anal and that's the first thing I do when I get a new polish. I swatch it on a sticker then stick it to the bottle. But I don't really like to blog about the polish until I've worn it.  Ordinarily I'd just put this in the queue but since it is an Indie polish I try to post those right away because if you do read about it I hope it's still available to buy. 

Zomboy polish went on like a dream and spread evenly like all of the polishes I have gotten from Jindie Nails. This is important because I've a lot of glitter polishes and several indie polishes and not all are equal. I don't want to dab or fish or have to shake the bottle every other nail to get even coverage. It is nail polish and as such should go on in same way as any other nail polish. End rant on the way polish should work 

This is 2 medum -thick coats of Zomboy with Seche Vite over the top.

Now Zomboy is a beautiful purple polish with pink and blue glitter, the pics really do not do it justice. One thing I love so far about this polish and Check the candy is the polish looks exactly like what you see in the bottle which is awesome so no surprises. I did stamp on Zomboy as well and had no problems with stamping over it either but I forgot to take a pic of that. So far I'm loving this company, and I have been impressed with every polish I have gotten from them so far which is saying a bit actually because I'm a bit picky. 

Jindie Nails-Check the Candy

First I just have to say I love to try new polish. If its name brand polish of a major manufacturer I will rarely pay over 5$ for it and then only if I just love it because I'm way cheap. However Indie polishes I'll pay double maybe more if I love it.  I'd rather support an individual's creativity than a corporation. Yet sometimes I'm hesitant some times It looks really great, but then you get it and you are totally bummed. I'm happy to say not this time. I can not tell you just how much I love love love this polish. I saw the swatches and to be honest I was so skeptical. But its beautiful and better yet you don't have to shake it or manipulate it to death to get it to spread the glitter evenly. What Polish you ask Well its Jindie Nail's Check the Candy and its fabulous.

This is 2 coats of Check the Candy layered over 2 coats of Princessa White then topped with some Seche Vite and a cute little Fimo Birdie on my thumb and ring fingers.

  

Again Pardon the cuticles and my dry hands Should have lotion-ed up first :)

Now I can say a lot of people who have longer or wider nails do not have the problem I sometimes have with nail polishes. Because the surface area of my nails is so small even when I grow them out a bit Glitters especially large glitters just don't spread well. I also have very curved nails so large glitters tend to not lay well on my nails :( *sniff* *sniff* so sad.

Neon Nails-Punk'd Up Kicks

Ok this is my very first blog post, well about nail polish anyhow :)
so I am just gonna start with a simple swatch  review sort of post.

What we have here Is a base of Kleancolor Neon Aqua, My ring finger as accent nail with Kleancolor Neon pink. One Coat of each I know A Lot of people  dont care for  Kleancolor but it almost always goes on opaque in 1-2 coats for me. Over that I have 2 coats of D and R Apothecary(now known as HitPolish) Punk'd Up Kicks.

Now this is the mini bottle I actually loved this so much I bought the full size one . It is just so much more awesome looking in person. I love the neon brightness of this :)
