Jindie Nails Smells Like Green Spirit and Stompin' Gilbert Grapes


I'm back! With more Jindie Nails creations!

Tonight I have Smells Like Green Spirit and Stompin' Gilbert Grapes to show you.



Jindie Nails Smells Like Green Spirit and Stompin' Gilbert Grapes



Smells Like Green Spirit up first!

This one is "a tribute to the late great Kurt Cobain. It is a bright green crelly with holographic purple, teal, silver and lime hexes in multi-sizes." And it also has circle glitters! I used 3 light coats of Smells Like Green Spirit on its own with one generous coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. No issues to report with formula or application.

Stompin' Gilbert Grapes is lavender, grape & bright pink glitter all in a white creamy base. I used 3 light coats of this one and one generous coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. No issues to report with this one either - all the glitters came out nicely and laid flat on the nail.

What do you think of these two? Smells Like Green Spirit is my favorite - the crelly formula is great and I love the circle glitters! I also loved the circle glitters in Stompin' Gilbert Grapes too and in particular the mix of such spring-like colors.

Indigo Bananas Anansi - Swatches and Review


I have a treat for both of us today! It's my first time trying Indigo Bananas! Today I have Anansi to show you!

First, here's what the Andrea, the genius behind Indigo Bananas, had to say about Anansi:

Base color: emerald green
Shifts: green / silver-green / purple
Finish: glass fleck
Roughness: smooth
# coats: three solo (swatch), or one as top coat
Top Coat: not required, but recommended
Vegan & cruelty free, 3-Free (formaldehyde, toluene, DBP free)


And I think there are even a few more color-shifts than she listed! I used 3 light coats of this one alone, but it can certainly be layered over black and other colors, which I intend to try. I had ZERO issues - perfect formula and application. I did not use a top coat for the photos but I did wear this for my full mani and I used one light coat of Poshe top coat to protect it and had very minimal tip wear. More photos than normal just trying to show all of its personalities...

Above the Curve - Mother Earth


Holy HOLO Batman! How about one from Above the Curve? Mother Earth!

*$1 of every bottle sold goes to Shriner's Hospital for Children!*

Mother Earth is a stunning sand-colored holo that flashes the greatest mix of spring colors. Above the Curve describes it as follows: Mother Earth is a nude/tan holo with flecks of red, copper and brown. It is quite unique and hard to describe.


Two coats no top coat for the photos...

It was hard to get to lighting where the holo didn't show...this is the best I could do. Daylight-shade.

I fell in love with this one. Just the perfect mix for me - neutral, but SO NOT! What do you think?

You can also follow them on Facebook here to stay up-to-date on availability, new collections, promos, etc. The BEST part? $1 of every bottle sold goes to Shriner's Hospital for Children!
