Jindie Nails Santa Claws Collection #2 (Pic Heavy)

HI lovelies!!! Happy November!! I am not excited about winter coming but I am SUPER excited about this collection, especially these first two polishes in this post today. And the best part is? This collection is LIVE! Trust me, you're going to want to pick these up - so links will be at the end after I show you the pretties :D

First up, is Blue Blue Xmas. It's a royal blue linear holographic polish, and it. is. stunning! Now, I want to apologize up front because I took these photos two days ago - as the hurricane was hitting. Like I've said, we were fortunate enough to be fairly unaffected in SW Ohio, but it's been awfully dreary and I feel like I haven't seen the sun in DAYS! So of course, these photos do not do these polishes justice. I tried taking them in the lightbox, and it was even worse! So just trust me, the holo in these beauties is SUPER strong. I couldn't stop my jaw from dropping every time I looked at my nails.

And here it is: Blue Blue Xmas! I had no issues with this polish, it was absolutely amazing. Hands down one of the best holos I own. First of all, the holo is really, really strong - I couldn't believe how strong, though you couldn't tell from these photos - GRR! But not only that, what you see here is two thin coats! One of my biggest pet peeves about the Layla holos is how thin and watery the formula is, so you have to do 4 coats to get good opacity. This formula was NOT like that at all, it was a dream! I'm definitely picking up a full size bottle.

 Here in the shade you can see the holo effect a tiny bit more (not sure how that works).

And next up is the other linear holographic polish in the collection, Mrs. Claws. This is another one I will be buying a full size of - it is super pigmented and the holo is strong. Actually, all the gushing and praising I did for Blue Blue Xmas applies here as well, so let's just save time and get right to the pictures, shall we? :)

 In this shaded photo, I was able to almost capture the holographic goodness! Trust me, it is there!

 And last for now is Just Elfing Around. This was another one of my absolute favorites in the collection. Jen's description: "Pastel green, white & cherry red hex plus silver & lime green holo hex in a clear base." Jen mentioned in the description that those larger hexes can be tough to get out, but I really didn't have much of an issue with that!

This one did not want me to get a clear shot of him in the bottle!! I had to hold it in what sun I had, to really show the pastel green hexes in the bottle.

I layered Just Elfing Around over 2 coats of Revlon Wicked Star, which is a great Halloween green and turns out to be a pretty good Christmas green as well! This is about 1 and a half coats (1 thick coat or 2 thin coats should work out fine) of Just Elfing Around. While I didn't have a problem getting the big hexes out, I found that I liked to mess around with placement just so they didn't all collect in one place, but that's just a preference.


In this next one, the holo hex on the pinky caught the light JUST right to make it look pink, lol!
