Jindie Nails: Pretty & Polished-Tuesday Taurus

I'm back!  I missed blogging AND having my nails done!  I had a few days off since I ran out of polish base a few days ago, so I finally did my nails last night.  I still have to do the other hand but all I needed was one to do pictures lol!  It takes me forever to do a gel mani on myself.  

For today's swatch I did Pretty & Polished-Tuesday Taurus.  I think this is a limited edition polish.  The name used to be LE Tuesday Taurus, but this bottle does not have the "L.E." so I'm not sure if it still is considered limited edition.  I was able to snag this one the other day for Chels Marie short restock on her Etsy shop.  It arrived really quickly, within a few days, as did all the others I ordered from her in the past.  This one was $9.00 instead of the $8.50 usual price for some reason but well worth the extra change.  I've had my eye on this one for awhile.  For one thing, I'm a Taurus so I had to have this.  I love the color combos in this polish.  The base is a smoky, dusty, shimmery aqua/teal like color.  Then as you can see, there are tiny matte barbie pink glitter, large violet purple matte glitter, large royal blue matte glitter, metallic gold, metallic green, metallic purple & metallic rose colored glitters.  The shimmer in the polish is a silvery shimmer.  This is an awesome polish! It applied very easily and dried quickly.  I did have to fish out the big glitter a little but who cares, it looks amazing.  Really, the only polishes with these bigger glitters that you don't have to fish out, are the ones that are packed full of glitter and those are ALWAYS thick.  I have a few I made myself so I do know this is true and it has nothing to do with the polish base used at all.  The more glitter in the polish, the thicker it will be, that's just how it is.  

I am still waiting on my polish base to arrive.  I'm expecting it today or tomorrow.  I'm having polish making withdrawals lol!  I have so many ideas I need to make come to life in a bottle!  I am going to be doing a deep red glitter jelly, a purple jelly, a blue jelly and a few more with small matte glitters.  I will be making some new polishes and restocking some of the other popular ones like Underwater Disco, Purple People Pleaser, BeTrixed and Rose Among Thorns.  If there is a polish you want and I do not restock it, please contact me and I can make a custom listing for you.  Thanks to all of you who have been my first customers this month.  I really appreciate your support :)!  I will continue to update my page with my nail polish creations.  Hope you all have a great week! Thank you to all of my old and new followers! You guys are awesome ♥!!!

Jindie Nails: Pretty & Polished-Pool Party

This polish is a treat! I have been trying to do this post now for a couple of days.  It's Chels Marie's Pretty & Polished- Pool Party.  When I first put this polish on, I saw this subtle blue shimmer I had never seen before.  It's amazing! This one really does look like a party on your nails.  I used China Glaze-Bahamian Escape as underwear, but it's not necessary.  It would have been a fully opaque polish in 3 coats.  

China Glaze-Bahamian Escape is a polish I purchased b/c I wanted OPI-What's with the Cattitude and couldn't find it anywhere for a fair price.  This one was closest when I compared swatches and I love it.  It applies like butter, dries fast, etc.  I love China Glaze the most out of all of the mainstream polish brands.  IMO, it's just as good as OPI and a bit less expensive.  They also have awesome color choices.  I use both brands, but I can run to Sally's and get a discount on China Glaze and I can't do that with OPI polishes :(.  

Pool Party also dried super fast, applied easily and no fishing required to get a ton of glitter on your brush.  The only thing someone may find to be a negative is the slight curve in the bar metallic colored glitter (see my pinky).  The white  bar glitter in it did not start curving at all.  I don't mind when the glitter curves up a little, I think it adds character.  There isn't that much of the colored bars in there either way.  Like I said, I don't mind the glitter changing shape a little, it does not affect how great the polish is and looks!  Another great one, Chels Marie!  You can now purchase Pretty & Polished Polish on llarowe's website.  I will post the link to Chels Pretty & Polished Etsy store and llarowe below.  I just checked and there are still some Pool Party left in stock.  Get it while you can, you won't regret it!  

In the pictures is two coats of China Glaze-Bahamian Escape with 3 coats Pool Party, one coat Seche Vite top coat.

Jindie Nails: Pretty & Polished-Hello Dolly!

This is a beautiful polish by Pretty and Polished. It's super dense with medium white glitter, small purple holo glitter, large transparent hot pink glitter and smaller white, pink and purple glitters. In the pictures I have one thick coat of Hello Dolly over Darling Diva Polish Lovely Lilacs and Essie Lilacism on the bottom. The DD polish is hidden by Hello Dolly but I will post separate pics of that polish soon, its pretty. Hello Dolly applies well and dries fast. The glitter comes out very easy but you have to fish for the hot pink bigger glitter because there isn't as much of that glitter in the bottle, but I think it looks better that way. That is the only con about this polish. You can try to get this polish at Chels Etsy shop, Pretty and Polished. She sells out in minutes after restocking and now I see why! If you stalk her Facebook and blog, she will usually let everyone know when she will be restocking and let me just warn you...you better be there on the dot and be ready to move your fingers fast. I had to pay separate shipping a several bottles because if you wait to put others in your cart and check out all at once, some will disappear out of your cart! I just paid real quick so I didn't lose them to someone else. It sucks to have to do that, but if you want it bad enough like I did, you'll do it too lol!  She cannot combine and refund shipping either because of a legal issue where she has to have proof of shipping every item. She is excellent with customer service, ships fast and has awesome polish! I love all 8 bottles I got on her last restock...pics to come of those!  Link to Pretty & Polished shop below:
