Some Halloween Swatch Spam!

Hey guys! Happy Halloween!
This post has some quick swatches I rushed to do before bed-not my best swatches

But I wanted to share more of the Halloween polishes I purchased! (Yeah..I went a bit nuts!)
And to broadcast my newly nubbinized nails :*(  I do believe this is "as low as they go" lol
My middle nail ripped badly in my sleep : / So I shortened them all.
I'm very thankful that my nail beds are kinda long. I really dislike my nails this short hopefully they grow fast!

I really loved this mani <3 Sorry about the pictures, especially of Spotted.
I was, admittedly in a rush at the time and the photos could have looked better.

But, you get the gist of it right? :P

For the products used, as usual I used a ton.. hehe

China Glaze-Flip Flop Fantasy, Secret Peri-wink-le
Color Club-Poptastic and Wham! Pow!
Jordana-Boy Oh Boy

And of course OPI-Black Spotted!

I hope you all have a lovely day <3

Jindie Nails Santa Claws Collection Part 2 Swatches & Review!

Hey all! Who loved the first part of my Jindie Nails Santa Claws Collection post?
These polishes are all so pretty!! Between the two posts I have 7 of the 9 in the collection to show you!
If you missed part one here it is!

I took pictures with the Candy Cane bottle, because I hate holding the mini's XD
Plus her new labels are really pretty! But sorry if that causes any confusion!

Jindie Nails Holly (3) Jindie Nails Holly (1)
Holly
Green & white matte hex with larger matte red hex and dark green shimmer.

I layered two coats of Holly over Essence-Irreplaceable. Which I think is a great combo!
This applied really evenly and easy! Could use a tad more red hex, but it's gorgeous!

Kiss Me Under the Mistletoe
True red jelly with green matte hex and green sparkle hex.

I used three thin coats of Kiss Me Under the Mistletoe I love this polish!
Crazy easy application, the glitter dispersal is spot on!
Two of the photos are a bit dim, and the other two pretty bright. : / So I just posted all four lol
But I would probably say that the first two are more color accurate, but it is more in between both.
Jindie Nails Noel (6) Jindie Nails Noel (1)
Noel
Red, white, neon green, ultra-fine matte hex glitters, with metallic green sparkle.

I decided to layer one coat of Noel over Butter London-All Hail the Queen.
I like this combo, but I think It would look better over a dark green..I must try that :)
I loveee matte glitter so this is a favorite! It is very dense, but applies insanely evenly.
Only needs one coat of TC to be smooth.
Jindie Nails Silent Night (4) Jindie Nails Silent Night (2)
Silent Night
A deep blackened navy jelly polish with purplish-pink shimmer, holo moons, stars, & hex.

This polish is great! It is thick, but somehow it was still pretty easy to apply.
Application wasn't the easiest ever, but far from difficult. I just love the glitters and shimmer in this.
I wore it for days with zero tip wear or chips!

Jindie Nails Santa Claws Collection Part 1 Swatches & Review!

Hey guys! I have part of the Jindie Nails Santa Claws Collection to show you today!
I decided to split it into two because It's a lot of photos! But no worries-the other part will be up tomorrow!
(Part one is now up here!)

A little but early for Christmas for some, but not for me! My favorite time of the year is coming!

I took pictures with the Candy Cane bottle, because I hate holding the mini's XD

"White creme/jelly base with cherry red matte and metallic hex and some metallic green hex with a green sparkle."

I love this polish! The application was so smooth and easy! I used three thin coats, they dried really fast too!
I only got one big red hex applying normally- so you may have to fish for them a bit.

"Deep turquoise blue shimmery holographic polish."


This polish is magical. <3 It isn't a plain blue holo, it looks as if it illuminates.
 I used three thin coats. It's mesmerizing!

Oops! Jen told me she sent the older version of Blue Blue Xmas and meant to send the new one, the newer version is more holo! But she may make this version available for purchase later on! She is going to send that to me and I will post swatches for you when I get it!
Jindie Nails Elfing Around (5) Jindie Nails Elfing Around (2) Jindie Nails Elfing Around (3)
I have two pairings of Just Elfing Around, this first one is over Blue Blue Xmas.
I used two coats, well more like one and a half- one coat plus some dabbing.
Jindie Nails Elfing Around (11) Jindie Nails Elfing Around (9) Jindie Nails Elfing Around (13)
Just Elfing Around
"Pastel green, white, cherry red hex plus silver and lime green holo hex."


I used one coat, then I dabbed on some more in a few places. Over Zoya-Bevin.
Really nice combo, I loved this a lot!
The glitter disperses pretty darn evenly but I did dab on a bit to even it out.

A England Ascalon and Dollish Polish What's This? What's This?


Hey guys! Really simple mani, and quick post for you atm.
It's a mani I wore last week. :)

I used two coats of A England-Ascalon to start and one coat of
Dollish Polish-What's This? What's This? on my accent nail.

A Rhyming Dictionary Polishes- Crooked Magician, Tiiti-hoochoo, Regos, & The Scarecrow Swatches & Review!

 Hello all! <3
Today's post is another review from indie polish maker Morgan, from A Rhyming Dictionary Polish.
A Rhyming Dictionary Polish
(From L-R) Crooked Magician, Titti-hoochoo, Regos, and The Scarecrow.

Staring off with the most beautiful!!!
A Rhyming Dictionary Crooked Magician (1) A Rhyming Dictionary Crooked Magician (2) A Rhyming Dictionary Crooked Magician (3)
Crooked Magician
A bright blue jelly polish with rainbow flakies.
Guys, I am so in love with this polish-You have no idea.
I decided to build it up. It's a jelly and takes four coats to opacity, which I realize sounds like a lot.

I dislike having to do over three almost ever. This polish is an exception.
The beautiful depth you get with this, ugh I mean just buy it.
I love blue and I really love jellies. This is perfect. So effing gorgeous!!
You can also layer it over black, which is shown further in this post.
No exaggeration though, I think this is one of my favorite polishes I got this year!
A Rhyming Dictionary Titti Hoochoo (1) A Rhyming Dictionary Titti Hoochoo (2)
A Rhyming Dictionary Titti-hoochoo (3) A Rhyming Dictionary Titti-hoochoo (4)
Titti-hoochoo
A pearl with color changing pigment. Over black it looks reddish-purple but it was many different kinds of pigment so it will look a little bit different over every color. 


For the first two photos I used two thin coats of Titti-hoochoo over black polish.
For the last two I used two thin coats over Opi-Vampire State Building.
This is a really pretty layering polish, I would recommend buying the larger bottle though.
I believe it would be easier to have even coats with the larger bottle, I just have a hard time with mini's getting as evenly as I would like.
A Rhyming Dictionary Regos (1) A Rhyming Dictionary Regos (2)
Regos
Tiny black, white, and mint hexes with larger mint hexes added in with a green tinted base!

Two very thin coats of Regos over of SpaRitual-Lithophonic.
I really lover this one-probably my second favorite of the bunch!
Further in the post I layered it over black and you can see the green shimmer in it <3
A Rhyming Dictionary The Scarecrow (1) A Rhyming Dictionary The Scarecrow (4) A Rhyming Dictionary The Scarecrow (2)
The Scarecrow

A blue color shift top coat with purple iridescent flakies.

This is another polish I highly recommend buying a full size bottle of it you like it.
It was pretty difficult for me to try to get even coverage, and I think the mini had to do with that.
I cannot be certain, but I do think that is why it was hard for me.
This polish is really pretty, but my least favorite. No particular reason I can think of.
 I don't wear a lot of metallic polishes often-maybe that is why?
Maybe subconscious because I thought it was a pain to put on. *shrug*
I used three thin coats over black.

From L-R- One coat of each over black.
