Jindie Nails Honey Blue Blue

"......cuz you better red-neck-ognize!"  - Jindie Nails

Even though I think this show is an awful disgrace, I do love this nail polish. 

Honey Blue Blue is a medium robins egg blue cream // jelly base, with multiple sized blue and green glitters. The application of this was easy peasy. There was no balding issues and the glitters applied effortlessly.

I usually put underwear under glitter polishes, so for this one I used 2 coats of Honey Blue Blue over L'Oreal's Now You Sea Me.

Jindie Nail polishes can be purchased here and here

BornPrettyStore Hexagon Glitters: A Review

A very long time ago I received these Glitters to try out from the BornPretty Store. I am only just getting around to using them but I have so many fun manis planned with these beauties. I have already reviewed the BornPrettyStore's Gold Square Studs here. 

You can order the 12 Piece Nail Art Shiny Glitters from the BornPrettyStore for less than $7. At $6.45 you get more than enough hexagonal glitters in 12 different colors.

 You can also use the coupon code in the side bar of my page or at the bottom of this post to receive 10% or your next BornPrettyStore order.

Onto the product - These 1mm glitters are really fun and just as easy to use as the studs I reviewed a while back. Application can be done with a tooth pick, or orange stick, and some fast dry top coat. Just place the glitter over your base coat and apply a quick dry top coat on top (you may want to apply 2 layers for longer wear). 

The wear time of the glitters is a good 2 days. After about 48 hours I found they begin to chip off.

Overall, these are great, easy to use, inexpensive nail art tools that as you can see, make any nail look into a mani that's super chic.

Here i have used the silver glitters over OPI's OPI Eurso Euro

Revlon Scented Nail Polish Mint Gelato

This is a bit of a throw back found in the archives of my Picasa. 

This lovely shade of mint is Revlon's Mint Gelato, from their scented polish line.

This really does have a nice scent of mint to it - almost chocolate mint! This polish is a jelly so it is very sheer and took around 3 coats for opacity.
This reminds me of a greener version of China Glaze's For Audrey.
These polishes are really shiny but I do hate wearing polish without a top coat but you could definitely get away without it.

Thanks for reading xox

Zoya Charla

Do you ever look through your stash and get bored of it? I had that feeling last night when I went to choose my mani so I decided to just do a layering experiment with OPI's Yoga-ta-get this blue and Zoyz Charla. After I had finished I realized I have yet to feature Charla on my blog! Charla is probably one of Zoya's most beloved polish. Normally it has a 'mermaids tail' look with a blue-green sparkle to it . Over the OPI, the teal doesn't stand out as much, but it looks pretty regardless! 

Glitter Gal Holographic Blue

Hello ladies! The other day my boyfriend and I planned on walking around New Hope PA to do a little research for something he his planning. It was a gorgeous day so I slapped on a couple of coats of Glitter Gal's Holo Blue. I ordered this from Llarowe ages ago and it has been sitting untried for months.

This Glitter Gal is a true light blue holo. It is the only blue holo I own but I am okay with that because it is the perfect linear holo! The formula was great, two easy coats, not spotty like some holographic polishes out there. 

Share your favorite glitter gal polishes with me!

OPI Last Friday Night

I didn't purchase OPI's Last Friday Night when it came out with the Katie Perry collection but months later I had the urge for the gorgeous blue glitter polish. Luckily I found it in a beauty supply shop near my work. 

 Last Friday Night is a blue glitter in a ultra sheer light blue base. The tiny iridescent glitters make it really shine!

This is 2 coats over 1 coat of Sinful's Fly Away

I also really love the look of this glitter on its own. It's really subtle but gives your nails a little flare!

Nail Venterous Floam

Happy Labour Day weekend. How nice is it to have an extended weekend?! 

Today I have on Floam by Nail Venturous. This is an awesome 'glitter' polish. The green blue and yellow specks are matte so it gives the polish a really cool effect. 

I used two coats of Floam over Orly's Bailamous. 

IMO it works perfectly with Floam.

Flowers Flowers Flowers!

Happy Friday! Although it has been absolutely miserable where I live on the East Coast I did a fun summer time mani to liven my nails a bit. I saw this mani on Nailed It! Her nail art is so fun and her blog is amazing! Definitely heck it out 

For the base I used Maybelline's Grey T-Glamour

Yellow: Zoya Pippa

Pink: Revlon Colorstay Passionate Pink

Blue: China Glaze: Flying High

I am so loving this mani,  I still have it on and I applied it Wednesday! That is actually a record for me haha :)

That's it for my quick post, hope you guys have a great extended weekend for Memorial Day!!!

Zoya Skylar

Happy Friday lovelies! Today I have another Zoya from their spring collection to show you. This is Skylar, my favorite of the collection. If you haven't already noticed I am a sucker for blues so this was an obvious purchase for me. Skylar is unique slate blue polish. The flecks in this are what really make this color special - they are a mix of gold and silver flecks but in the right light can look blue. 

The did kick up the fill light in these photos because I really wanted you guys to see the flecks so the color is a bit brighter in these photos than in real life. In person it is much more if a slate blue

Now I am itching for some of Zoya's Beach and Surf collection!

Revlon Whimsical

Why I waited so long to get this polish I do not know. Yes I love blue, and yes I love glitter but I never understood the hype around Revlon's Whimsical. I passed it up a few times in the drug store but picked it up on a whim. WOW I love this nail polish.

 I added 2 coats over Essie's Turquoise and Caicos. I love the soft look it gives T&C. Revlon did such a good job with this GitA Dupe!!

I am really hoping Revlon comes out with a Mermaid's Dream dupe - I will stalk the drug stores for that one!

NYX Ink Heart & Kleancolor Chunky Holo Teal

Well hello, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Mine has been pretty relaxing. Went out to Mexican on Friday night, made dinner (Tuscan Garlic Chicken) last night for my SO and was pretty productive today! One of the many things that got done were my nails of course. On Twitter I mentioned that I did a manicure combining NYX's Ink heart and Kleancolor's Chunky Teal Holo that was inspired by Like A Candy Shop. I highly recommend her blog. Her blogs and nubs are one of my favs!

NYX's Ink heart is a polish I always reach for. I used it for one of my Christmas Mani's and my Peacock mani. It is the perfect deep blue jelly. Anyway, I saw that Elsa topped off a nacy creme from Kleancolor with Chunky Holo Blue and instantly wanted to recreate it. I LOVE the end result! I haven't used my Chunky Holo nearly as much as I should but will after this I will definitely be utilizing it more!

What are your favorite Chunk Holo combinations?

Some sort of Holo...

Over the summer I ordered two China Glaze Kaleidoscope polishes from a blog sale. I purchased He's Going in Circles and Kaleidoscope Him Out. The seller had two versions of Kaleidoscope, a blue and a periwinkle kind of shade. I tried to research if anyone else had come across a dud, or different version of this polish. I found diddly squat but decided to order it anyway since it wasn't expensive. I also am wondering if it's a franken that she just tried to pass off as a real ChG - pretty shitty on her part but it's too late to do anything about it now and it is still a really pretty polish.

Regardless I think it is a very pretty polish and actually pretty unique. This is three coats. Two would have been sufficient but I always do 3 coats of holos for extra umph!

Indoor Flash

Outdoor No Flash

I was going to do a stamp over this but was going through Chloe's Nails blog and came across her checkered tutorial and decided to give it a go!

I used China Glaze's Secret Periwinkle. I love the combo!

Thanks for looking!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Only 11 days left until Christmas and I have all of these Christmas mani ideas running through my head!

I took another shot at a freehand Christmas manicure. Unfortunately, the only nail art brush I have was a bit

too thick for the snow flake I attempted. I just purchased some brushes at Sally's today though!

For this mani I used NYX Ink Heart as a base color and dotted on some snow with Color Club's Alabaster

My right snowflake turned out a little bit better

Thanks for looking :)

OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue

Hello! I have a really quick post before I get to bed - I have a busy day of pie making tomorrow!

Today I have OPI's yoga-ta get this blue.

It's a really pretty deep royal blue with pretty shimmers!

It's a great deep blue because it's not so dark that it looks black

Easily one of my favorite bolder shades :)

Peacock Nail Art using NYX Ink Heart

Peacock feathers, peacock designs, and peacock colors are something I have been seeing a lot of lately and honestly, I don't hate it :)

While browsing Pinterest I came across an amazing peacock nail design (can be found here)

so I was inspired to do my own.

For the base I used NYX's Ink Heart - a deep blue jelly.

Using a nail art brush I swiped random lines down my nail.

For the stripes I used OPI's Jade is the New Black, Greenwich Village, ChG Four Leaf Clover

and a gold holo by Milani.

For the dots (which got smudged :z) I used the gold holo once again and OPI's Suzi Says Feng Shui.

I think it turned out pretty fun looking :)

American Apparel Peackock

Today I am posting a brand of nail polish that I don't think I have

featured on my blog until now. Today I am wearing American Apparel's Peackock.

I only have three of their polishes but I do love them.

I also own Hunter and Dynasty.

What I love about these polishes is how opaque they are.

I used two coats for this mani but I could have easily just went with the one.

The application is also one of the easiest to work with in my experience.

I added a little something to my accent nail using tape.

The heart didn't come out as nice as I would have liked but it'll do!

I added a glitter top coat to it by the brand savvy

I also just wanted to mention my new obsession - Pinterest.

While it has semi ruined my life, I just cannot get enough of it!

Follow me if you have one :)
