It's Just So Pretty- Impala Swatch

I started with 2 coats of a no-name Primark purple, I then added 2 coats of Impala Na Mira 3d. I can't even  explain how much I love this or indeed even begin to apologize for my crap photography. This is just so pretty and sparkly, I wish I could paint my bedroom ceiling with this, so I could fall asleep to it I love it so much.

All in all I love green, so I liked this, the glitter spread smoothly, I don't love it but it is ok.

Midnight RainBows

This is essentially a swatch post but I love Enkelini I was totally bummed when she moved to Austrailia, I hope she continues making polish there as her polish is divine, lucky Austrailians.
We have here 3 coats of Enkelini Midnight Rainbow  with some bow charms from Ebay.

Barry M Swatch

These are just Barry M Swatches, 2 coats each of Watermelon (green) and Blackberry(Blue).
I do like Barry M it does just glide on and it ususally doesn't take a billion coats to look nice.

Blackberry on the pinky and pointer and Watermellon on the ring and middle finger.

Mentality Nail Polish - Siren

Mentality Polish, Siren is described as a burgundy red holographic polish with purple flecks.
For me, even in person, I found purple to be the most prominent color, though I did catch it shift through burgundy to purple to almost grey finally to an almost lilac color.









Again sorry for the swatchy month, I've been a lazy bugger.

Above the Curve Diablos

This is just a swatch post, I'll Be having a few swatch posts this month because I haven't had a lot of time to do my nails.
Diablos is described as " a dark reddish brown almost mahogany holographic polish"  It is just so pretty.
For me it was a bit brownish but I'd say mine was more of a coppery bronze-y type color when not in bright light but still very pretty to me
These pics are 3 coats of Diablos in different light.

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.

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.

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!.

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.
