Christmas Nail Art Roundup!

Some polishes may have been provided for previous review

I decided that this year I would save all my holiday manis of the year to share with you in one post. I know that I do quite a lot of swatch posts but I do actual nail art as well and while I’m no genius at it I do like to have fun with different combinations and I’ve been practicing some freehand stuff as well!

I hope you enjoy and also be sure to check out the inlinkz at the bottom to see a lot of other awesome bloggers and their holiday manicures!

Christmas Eve Post! Featuring Jindie Nails!

Provided for Honest Review

I have a gorgeous Christmas polish to show ya’ll! It’s no secret I’m a Jindie Junkie but I wanted to have a Christmas polish to show you today and this Jindie is perfection for that! Tomorrow I am going to have a Christmas Nail Art roundup post to show you some of the manis I’ve worn this Holiday Season!

But first the Jindie! This is Through the Eyes of a Child

Jindie Nails – Through the Eyes of a Child

This is a fun and festive glitter topper that is chock full of all kinds of glittery goodness. There are red, white, green, and blue matte, metallic, and holographic glitters of all shapes INCLUDING STARS! I love stars particularly the little tiny ones!

Jindie Nails – Through the Eyes of a Child

This is a perfect glitter topper. I didn’t have to fish around to get a good mix of glitters. This is one coat (not dabbed) over undies.

Polishes used: Tip Top – Toughen Up Base Coat; Sinful Colors – Snow White; Jindie Nails – Through the Eyes of a Child.

I love this polish and I always look forward to my next Jindie Nails delivery. You can follow Jindie Nails on Facebook and Instagram to see other awesome polishes and swatches. You can buy your own bottles of awesomeness at the Jindie Nails Website!

Wednesdays We Wear Pink – Featuring Jindie Nails

Provided for Honest Review

Jindie Nails – Be Someone Cute

I betcha thought I forgot about this! While I’m not doing it EVERY Wednesday anymore if I have something that works I promise I’ll bring it to you! Today I have an awesome polish (is there any other kind when we talk about this brand? I mean really?) from Jindie Nails! Today I have a fun and funky glitter bomb polish that is just so girly and ready for this Pink Wednesday!

Be Someone Cute:

Jindie Nails – Be Someone Cute

Just look at all that glitter! I’m dying here from glitter overload. Ok, so not really dying that’s a bit of an overstatement. But, I am totally loving every single little happy glittery part of it! Be Someone Cute is a hot pink jelly packed with hot pink, black, and white matte tiny glitters. You can wear it as a topcoat (it’s sheer enough) or you can do like I did and layer it up for full opacity!

I’m such a sucker for jelly glitter polishes. This one is a dream to apply and use. I didn’t have any problem getting the glitter to spread easily and the application itself was very smooth. Small glitters like this can be a little topcoat hungry but honestly I didn’t find it to be a problem at all but I do use a thick topcoat that does a good job smoothing glitter on its own without a glitter smoother. This is three thin coats plus topcoat.

Polishes used: Butter London – Nail Foundation; Jindie Nails – Be Someone Cute; Digital Nails – Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That Topcoat.

You can find Jindie Nails here and on facebook and she is also on instagram! You’ll definitely want to follow on Facebook so that you will know when restocks are happening as her polishes tend to go very fast.

Throwback Thursday – Jindie Nails

Nothing to disclose

Ok reader I thought I would do something fun! I like to go back to the beginning of my blog and see just how far that I’ve come. Not only in actual application of polish but also in my photography and writing style. While I really enjoy writing in this conversational style I think that it was much more stiff and a little forced at the beginning! So since Jindie Nails recently had their two year anniversary and I’m coming up on my one year blogaversary (Just a couple of months can you believe it?!) I thought I would take my blast from the past and show you new swatches of two polishes that I reviewed WAY back in October of last year!

Let’s start with Anniversary Seaquins:

July 2014:

Jindie Nails – Anniversary Seaquins (Updated Swatch)

While I didn’t have any troubles with the polish the first time but I feel like I have come a long way with pictures and lighting! I definitely recommend reading my review from before because I don’t have anything different to say about this one. Love it!

Jindie Nails – Anniversary Seaquins

Another thing I started doing was adding this non-bottle shot to give a different perspective. I didn’t do this originally and I think that now these two shots (the bottle and the non-bottle) are part of my own personal style!

Polishes used: Glisten & Glow – Stuck on Blu; Jindie Nails – Anniversary Seaquins; Nail Pattern Boldness – Glitter Food; Digital Nails – Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That Topcoat.

Next up let me show you Purple Universary!

October 2013:

Jindie Nails – Purple Universary (Original Swatch)

July 2014:

Jindie Nails – Purple Universary (Updated Swatch)

Night and Day am I right? Seriously I loved this polish before (but hated the old minis so glad she’s changed her minis to a different bottle shape!) But, my game is so improved now and I also picked up a trick to these mini bottles. I’ve seen some of these old minis out there on the secondary market and I always want to rescue them but I remembered my frustration with the bottle. Then I saw someone recommend using a brush from another polish (cleaned of course, I used an old topcoat brush) with these bottles and lo and behold application was SO MUCH easier!! Secondly while lack of full opacity doesn’t bother me overmuch personally I have also come to appreciate when polish is applied to its full potential! So while my initial swatch showed 2 coats that were inexpertly applied this one is 2.5 coats with a much more even and practiced application style.

Polishes used: Polishes used: Glisten & Glow – Stuck on Blu; Jindie Nails – Purple Universary; Nail Pattern Boldness – Glitter Food; Digital Nails – Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That Topcoat.

I believe that these polishes are not discontinued so you should still be able to get them! You can find Jindie Nails here and on facebook and she is also on instagram! You’ll definitely want to follow on Facebook so that you will know when restocks are happening as her polishes tend to go very fast. Jindie Nails is also available at Llarowe and Harlow and Co as well as other fine stockists around the world.
