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:

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!

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!

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.

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.
