First up Jindie Nails. Jen, the creator behind Jindie Nails, has found the key to create perfect milky white based glitters. I admittedly have amassed way more than I initially planned - ehem, but I cannot seem to resist...... Jindie Nails belongs to my favorites because Jen's polishes have something fresh and unique while being quality-wise top-notch. Her range of polishes is surprising and my wishlist of them by far from fulfilled ;-)
This is I Am A Star Dot Com:

I applied three thin coats of Jindie Nails I Am A Star Dot Com on its own using Essence XXL Nail Thickener as Base Coat. The milky base appears VERY thin on the first coat and I was doubtful that I would receive a decent opacity but I am rather pleased with how it looked after three coats. Since I never wear my nails particularly long, I do not really need to consider VNL but even so, I came to prefer the transparency in those jelly glitters.
Jen has mastered the art of finding the right formula to prevent the glitter sinking to the bottom of the bottle. What you see above is exactly what came out of the bottle. I just picked a star from the brush to add to the index - that's all. Another great virtue of her polishes: her glitters lay flat on the nail and one normal layer of Top Coat is all you need for a smooth finish.
Jindie Nails can be ordered through Jen's Etsy Shop here (though her shop is currently closed) or through Llarowe .
Have you tried any Jindie Polishes? If so, which one is your favorite?
I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

P.S. I would have loved to add more pictures but the remaining bunch turned out crap :-(
Hi pet! WOW! This polish looks gorgeous! I love the little stars!! The formula seems great. I've got three Jindies but I haven't tried any of them yet ;) That is because one of them arrived just a few days ago and two of them is at a friends :) Will try them soon! xxx
ReplyDeleteHi cupcake, thank you sweetie <3!!! Oh I cannot wait to see what you got for yourself!!! Did you get any of the darker shades? Holo? Have a lovely day and take care xxx
DeleteSalut Christine! I'm so glad you're doing this week about your fave indies at the moment, because I'm thinking I should get my hands on some indies after Easter, but the offer is so overwhelming I don't know where to start. This one looks so pretty with STAR shape glitter! who could ever resist to that!
ReplyDeleteI may be totally wrong, but on my screen the milky base appears slightly pink-ish, is it? It's lovely! xx
Salut Nati, really??? So happy that you like my theme!!!! And what a great treat to reward yourself for the NB!!! I hope you will find my information helpful - I myself was in the same position, feeling overwhelmed by indies, sellers, etsy shops and what have you!!! I think the shown polish looks pink because of the glitter - it holds magenta glitter in all sizes except bar glitter. Have a lovely day - Bisous
DeleteOooh how pretty! I love the translucent milky base! It's perfect for showing off the glitters in there! :D

Thank you Yun, so happy you like it <3!!! The transluscent finish is just so soft and adding a white base would put it close to chalky ;-) xxx - Christine

ReplyDeleteThen we are two ;-) - thank you Ina xxx
ReplyDeleteI would love to try a Jindie - I have heard so many great reviews:)
