Jindie Nails~Candy Land~Review

Happy Friday!! Up for review today I have an awesome polish from Jindie Nails called Candy Land. I saw a pic of this on another bloggers page & HAD to have it!! I've never seen a polish with these color hexes in it. It is very unique. The white is perfect. It was opaque in 2 coats with no issues except that it was a little hard to get the right amount of hexes on my fingers without a little extra effort, but to me it was worth it for a polish this pretty!! I purchased this with my own money, it was NOT sent to me for review. This was done with a coat of Zoya Anchor base coat, 2 coats of Candy Land & 1 coat of Zoya Armor top coat. Now on with the pictures.

I really do love it!! Let me know what you guys think. I love hearing from you!! You can buy this polish & others in her line from her Etsy shop Here & I'm pretty sure next week Llarowe will also be carrying her line of polish!! You can buy that Here

Hare Polish Amethystos over Sally Hansen Royal Purple Chrome Review

Happy Sunday everyone!! The review I have for you today is for Hare Polish Amethystos.  It is a medium purple jelly like base with different silver, pink & purple glitter. It is a beautiful polish alone in 3-4 coats or like I did it, over another similar color.  I chose a Sally Hansen Chrome polish called Royal Purple Chrome.  I chose this color because it's dark & I thought it would really bring out the sparkle in Amethystos, which it did wonderfully!!! I used 1 coat of the Sally Hansen Royal Purple Chrome & 2 coats of the Hare Polish Amethystos.  I had no issues with either polish. I really loved the Sally Hansen Chrome because it was so dark, it only took 1 coat to look great, where most polish takes 2 coats to look great.  The only issue I had with the Hare Polish was I wish the purple in it was a tad darker, otherwise the formula was great & it had just the right amount of glitter to where it looked even after 2 coats. I didn't have to dab it here & there like you have to do with some to make the glitter look even. Ok, let me add this too. I know my skin around my fingers looks terrible right now, lol. I need a manicure in the worst of ways.  I was so excited when I got the polish in the mail, I just painted it on without doing my manicure 1st.  Secondly, I'm not a professional at this. I do it becuase I love nail polish & I like to know what a polish looks like on nails before I buy it, so I figured in my spare time, I could do this for others & have some fun with people while I'm at it.  So, if you're looking for professional looking manicures & pictures, you've come to the wrong place!! If you're here to have fun while talking about nail polish & want an HONEST review of a product, then stick around & let's have some fun!! I think the results are beautiful, what do you think???

Lynnderella's Cauldron Drippings Over Kleancolor's Metallic Orange

I will start this post by saying I absolutely LOVE Lynnderella's nail polish creations!! I don't like the price you have to pay on Ebay for them though, I think that is just ridiculous, but I did it anyway lol. Only because I love them so much & I didn't have to pay more than $25. On with the review....I chose this combination because I love Fall!! It is my favorite time of year & this combo just screams Fall!! I used 2 coats of the Kleancolor metallic orange. It went on very smooth & I had no trouble with it at all!! Then I used 2 coats of Lynderella's Cauldron Drippings. This polish is very glittery. It went on great & I had very few problems with the glitter. A few times, it would be way to much glitter on the brush & I would have to dip it back in & start over, but that only happened about 3 or 4 times.  It is a beautiful polish!! The pictures do it no justice at all. They were taken inside & I used the camera flash. Next time, I will have to take some in sunlight to see if they show it better. The Kleancolor polish looks just like the name says, it's a beautiful metallic orange, the Lynn is in a clear base with lots or orange hex & green, purple & gold glitter. 

I love to get feedback so let me know what you think!! Thanks for checking out my blog!!

Zoya Bevin & Revlon Whimsical

So, I tried out my first Zoya polish. I got it during their Valentine's Day promo where if you bought 1 red polish, you got 1 free. This review is for Bevin & Revlon's Whimsical glitter polish over it. Bevin I'd like to say is an antique green color.  The picture does this polish no justice, it's actually much prettier!! Usually, I stray from greens, just because they aren't my cup of tea, but I LOVE this green.  It went on smooth & 1 coat was great, but you know me, I'm a 2 coat kind of girl!! I really think Zoya's polishes are worth the money because of the quality of the nail polish.  It lasted for over a week with no chips, or peeling of the color. You can get them for around $8 a bottle from HERE 
I then put Revlon's Whimsical over top of it.  I do like the Whimsical, but I think I would of liked it better with a blue rather than a green.  The only thing I didn't like was that it took about 3 coats to get the glitter look that I like. Yes, that is 3 coats not 1 or 2 :/ Too much work for me!!I would have like it to be a bit thicker too. You can get them from most drugstores like CVS or Walgreens for around $6 a bottle. I guess you get what you pay for sometimes.
I would highly recommend the Zoya Bevin if you like green polish. Very classy looking & well worth the money it costs!!

I'm not sure why, but for some unknown reason blogger has decided to eat my pictures. I'm not even sure I still have these on my pc at home. If so, I will upload them sometime today. 11/9/12



Avon's Tangtastic & New White Mosaic Polish Review!!

Before I get to the polish review, I would like to start by saying I'm a bit upset with Avon right now.  They came out with a new line of polish in Campaign 4 called A Carnival Of Colors, with the colors, Orange Creamsicle, Fucshia Fun, Sweet Mint, Blue Escape, Aqua Fantasy & Loving Lavender.  I ordered them all except the Loving Lavender.  When my Avon lady delivered my order, there was a note that said No Longer Available on all the colors!!!! I was sitting there thinking, are you serious Avon???? Why put all those new colors in the book if they aren't available???  So, I went to Avon.com to check out what the problem was.  On their site, under the colors, it says, Available soon on 3 of the 6 colors.  So, 2 of the colors I ordered were available, but they didn't send them.  On the other hand, maybe the colors were in such demand they ran out, who knows.  All I know is that I wanted mine!!! I'm done ranting now I feel better :)

Now on to the review.  For this manicure I started with Avon smooth beginnings base coat, Avon nailwear pro in Tangtastic, Avon mosaic effects in white & a clear top coat.  I really liked this color.  It's a very pretty shade of orange, about the same color as a tangarene, hence the name.  I thought it looked great after 1 coat, but I chose to use 2.

I then went over top of that with Avon's mosaic effects in white.  I'm not sure if I like the way this turned out or not.  Maybe it's because I'm not doing it right, I don't know.  This was only my 2nd try at using crackle polish.  I don't know if I am supposed to use a thick amount or a thin amount.  I feel like when it's thick, it looks better, when it's thin, it tends to get clumpy & start to pull the color with it.  I guess what they say about practice makes perfect is true. 

Like I said, I'm not sure if I like the way it looks or not.  Maybe with a brighter color underneath, it would have turned out much better.  The Tangtastic is a very pretty color though. I would recommend that.  It went on nice & smooth, didn't clump at all & it looked great with 1 coat, but I did 2.  I hope you like my review & if you have tried crackle polish, leave a comment & let us know how it turned out for  you. As always, Happy Polishing!!

Julep Maven Review

Ok, this is my 1st review of products I recently used to do my nails.  I belong to Julep Maven & I am totally in love with their products!!! If you haven't heard of them, check them out here: Julep Maven  My 1st "sneek peek" box contained 2 bottles of Julep nail polish in the colors Anne & Maria, a 3oz tube of Julep Glow On Age Defying Hand Brightener & a foil sample of Julep Everyday SPF 30 Hand Cream. This post is going to be about the color Maria.  I will write a separate blog about Julep Maven & the other products mentioned in the near future :)

I've been using Avon Nail Experts silk wrap treatment for about 2 weeks.  I was having some trouble with my nails breaking & peeling so I thought I would give this a try.  It is working great so far.  You can get it from Avon.com or if you know an Avon representative, that way is great too.  I have an awesome Avon lady (Thanks Dee) After I used that I used 2 coats of Julep's Maria polish. It is metallic pink/mauve in color & I love it.  For the top coat I used Sally Hansen's Mega Shine Extended Wear Top Coat, which I absolutely can't be without.  It's a little pricey, but worth it.  It keeps my polish looking nice for the entire week!!!!  I have included pictures of what my nails look like today & I did the manicure last Thursday.  The Julep polish went on nice & smooth & I believe 1 coat would have been sufficient, but I'm a 2 coat kind of girl lol. You can look at the pics & let me know what you think!! I love getting feedback!! That's your chance to get hit with some Lacquer Love!!! Thanks for reading & as always Happy Polishing!!

I have no idea why, but blogger has for some reason eaten the rest of the pics I posted of this manicure. I'm new to this & I'm not even sure what I'm doing. If anyone has any ideas why this may have happened, please leave me a comment or send me an email!! I would so appreciate it!!
