Jade holografico nail polish swatch and review for "Psicodelica"

HEY DOLLS! I finally got hold of a Jade holographic nail polish. It’s been sold out on www.ninjapolish.com for weeks now and I was on the verge of giving up hope on ever getting it… until I caught wind of www.llarowe.com. I follow www.the-crumpet.com and I know she orders polish from this website. Based on her I knew it was a trust worthy site to order polish and boy was in for some amazing luck when I went on there. SHE HAS LIKE EVERY JADE HOLO THATS BEEN MADE FOR SALE ON THERE!! At $7 a bottle with a set shipping fee for ANY amount polish (Base shipping is $2.63 which isn’t terrible AT ALL, if you like me order polish in bulk) I couldn’t pass it up. I ordered my jade polish and waited (impatiently) for it to arrive.
Tada! Here is my Jade Psicodelica (Psychedelic)

In this shade, this polish looks like a very fine silver shimmer polish, but once it catches any bit of light the holo effect is AMAZING!


My one peeve about the polish is the smell. I know nail polish normally doesn’t smell good, but this smell, I can’t even describe it. All I can say is that it is a very strong, semi sweet chemical smell that assaulted my nose the first time I popped this sucker open. And it takes a while for the smell to dull down, so to speed it up I scrubbed my hands once my nails were dried and this seemed to help a bit.
Overall I totally get over the smell with the effect this polish gives my nails. Its amazing. It applied well and was opaque in 2 coats. Its nice and flat, doesnt suck up all the clear polish and give your nails a dull look and is a nice consistency. Not too thick and not too thin. Just perfect.


I plan on buying the whole collection, whenever I come into more money, but for now this will do. If you’re interested in buying this polish and experiencing it for yourself head over to www.llarowe.com and make your purchase! and check out some of the other great holos shes got up there by HITS and UP colors!
Catch ya later!

Nail art I've done so far (not all of them just some)

Kleancolor Firework nail polish swatch

Hey dolls! So when I saw this swatch online, I fell for this glitter polish. So I went out, bought it and tested it out and I was so…. disappointed! I hadn’t realized from any of the pictures that this polish has a yellow jelly base. I tested it over a nude-ish color and didn’t really like the way the yellow base looked. I mean I love yellow nail polishes, don’t get me wrong, but this yellow jelly thing is kinda meh. I know I’ll still use the polish regardless, but I may layer it in like a glitter sandwich or something.
So here’s how it looks. My pointer and ring finger have one coat over 2% milk and my middle and pinky have 2 coats.My other issue with this polish was that it was SUPER THICK. Like thick that I had to dab to get ANY hexagon glitters on my pinky and it’s really evident on my ring finger. This polish is not for someone who wants to try a glitter polish for the first time. I had major application issues. Some of the glitters also stuck off the tips of my nails and I had to push it back so it wasnt hanging off. This is the first polish by Kleancolor to disappoint me, color wise. It should definitely be layered over dark colors so you can’t see the jelly base.


I think I may be able to get over this flop if I find a great way to use it. I’ll keep looking and post back here with results.

Glitter sandwich

Hey dolls! Sorry for the delays in posting. I’ve been out working, and buying nail polish of course. Now I have about 16 new nail polishes I need to swatch and review. Yay more posts. Anyway, I’ve become pretty obsessed with the indie jelly nail polish looks. It’s pretty hard to find a name brand nail polish thats a colored jelly glitter polish like this : http://tanejasbride.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/alkisses-e1341769119699.jpg?w=692 So i went out to try a find a way to make it look like I was wearing an indie and then I realized I could just do a glitter “sandwich”, layering the glitter polish over a color and putting a milky coat on top. So off I went searching. I went to duane reade because they allow you to test certain polishes on your finger. I found one called Frappe by nailtini but at $13 for a nail art sized bottle I wasn’t feeling too okay with buying it since I knew I would be using it a lot. So off I went to the wet n wild section because that polish NEVER lets me down. Looking through the new line that I’ve seen appear in recent months, I picked up a color called 2% Milk and though usually you cant test the wet n wild polishes I did one quick coat on a test nail and knew this polish was perfect for what I needed. and without further ado, here’s the polishes I used.
The base coat is by soo nails. It’s a calcium base coat. The top coat is by NK and it’s called express. It’s a fast dry top coat that dries like essie’s good to go so I’m so smitten by it, 2% milk by wet n wild and Tazmanian Devil by Confetti.

Here’s a lovely macro shot of Tazmanian Devil by confetti. It’s a really gorgeous glitter. It goes on without any application issues and the glitters lay flat.

  I started with a base coat. Let it dry completely and applied 2 coats of 2% milk. After those dried I layered on 2 coats of tazmanian devil and let those dry. Then I applied a very thin coat 2% milk again over my glitter. I sealed it all in with 2 coats of NK express and I was good to go. This design is also work friendly since the thin coat of polish over the glitter dulls it down a bit and makes it look not so flashy. I love the look and had no application issues with any of my polishes and 2% milk has this awesome pro-brush tip that helps you cover without getting messy.




I can definitely see myself wearing this polish design a lot. It’s cute and simple. And 2% milk is an amazing nude-ish color that I find actually compliments my skin tone so even by itself it’s a gorgeous polish and I know I will be picking up more bottles of it. At $1.99 you can’t go wrong. 2% milk and Tazmanian devil ran me $3.98 before tax and NK express was $1.00. For around $5 bucks I got a pretty cute mani. Don’t you agree ? :)
