MI-NY: #56 KLIMT (on it's own and used for nail art/ layering)


Hello everyone!

MI-NY: Klimt


MI-NY: KLIMT is a pastel turquoise cream nail polish. It's a 1- 2 coater, and very easy to work with. The color is a little bit greener than on my photos. I bought Klimt in February, and have already used it several times. So now I want to show you what it looks like on it's own, and used for nail art. And I'll try to update this post when I use Klimt for nail art or layering in the future. This first photo was one of my entries to MI-NY' swatch competition called WE LOVE NAILS.

MI-NY: Klimt


I swatched some of my MI-NY polishes, but didn't get time to swatch all of them. I had planned to write blog posts about them too, but haven't had time or been sick...

MI-NY: Klimt


Color comparison

I called the color pastel turquoise, but some would perhaps call it blue-green or pastel teal. As I mentioned Klimt looks a litte more green and less blue than on these photos. Compared to my other polishes in this color family, Klimt is like a pastel version of H&M "Bella's Choice". Klimt is more pastel than Picture Polish "Honey Dew", but "Honey Dew" is a little more green. H&M "Mint Madness" looks like a dusty pastel green, and not turquoise at all, compared to Klimt.

MI-NY: Klimt

MI-NY: #56 Klimt used for nail art or layering:


1) One of the last challenges in the Sat- ART- Day Club, back in February, was "Dotting tools". This was my entry for MI-NY's nail art contest called "WE LOVE NAIL ART", but I didn't win. Details about the mani and more photos in the blog post.

2) This was made for World Ovarian Cancer Day. The first photos are taken before adding the flakie top coat. I don't think I've shared the first two photos before. Details and more photos in the blog post.

3) MI-NY's flakie "I LOVE LONDON" layered over Klimt and other polishes. This was an attempt to show what the flakie looks like over different colors. I made it for MI-NY's swatch contest; "WE LOVE NAILS".

4. Love is Love - Pastel Rainbow Hearts- Valentines Day nails #8, NPC's Valentine's Day Nail Art Challenge, and #31Nails2014 Day 19 Rainbow



As I've said before, MI-NY is an Italian brand, and according to their answer on facebook they do not test their products on animals. Their web site has a list of MI-NY stores.

*L* Lumina Lacquer [Indie Guide Project]

Hi Girls & Boys!
I'm so happy to be back with another Indie Brand !
Today I'm presenting you Tatiana, the maker of Lumina Lacquers ! 

Olá meninas & Meninos !!
Estou super feliz por hoje vos trazer mais uma marca Indie !
Hoje Apresento-vos a Tatiana, criadora dos Lumina Lacquers !!!!


* * *
For those who don't know what I am talking about (Follow me through Facebook to know a lot more!) I am making an Indie Guide A-Z! This will be a huge project and a enormous pleasure to do! So .. what am I going to do? Everyday, I'm going to show you a different brand of Indie Nail Polishes (and some of their major stockists too!! )
* * *



Your Name: Tatiana

Brand Name: Lumina Lacquer

Where are you from? California

When have you started? July 2012, officially. Unofficially, earlier in the same year.

Is there a story behind the name of your brand? It took me a long time to come up with it, I wanted something that had to do with light, shine, or shimmer. 

How many polishes/collections have you created? 4 collections and plenty of stand alone Limited Editions.

Is there a special polish/collection? Why? The one that means the most to me is my Blinded By Love Collection, since I'm such a huge fan of the band Third Eye Blind. All of the polish names in the collection are Third Eye Blind songs.

Were you a polish addict before starting making polishes? Oh yes, most definitely. The brand that really brought me deep into nail world is the fabulous Lynnderella.

Did you have a blog before making polishes or have you started one after? Yes, I did have one. It is still up, but I rarely use it.

Whats your favorite thing about making polishes? I only come up with things that I personally would wear. If I see something that inspires me, I immediately can come up with an idea to make a polish that is inspired by that person/place/or thing.

Can you tell us a curious thing that has happened to you with some client or something funny? There is one in particular that comes to mind. I was at a Third Eye Blind show and I posted about it on my Instagram, sure enough one of the people who also attended the show was wearing some of my polishes. Such a small world we live in.

Is there anything you'd Like to share: Thank you for letting me be a part of your Indie project!

Stockists: Norway Nails

Ender Dragon

Another gorgeous glitter top coat by Liquid Sky Lacquer. This is a black & purple shred glitter on a clear base. The glitters are in a great amount and they all spread very nice and evenly! I applied them on top of a light baby pink by Mollon Pro that I'll be showing you very very soon! Only one coat of ender dragon. 



Mais um lindissimo glitter top coat da marca Liquid Sky Lacquer. Este glitter é composto com shreds em preto e roxo escuro numa base transparente. O glitter esta disposto na formula numa quantidade bastante generosa sendo que foi apenas necessária uma camada para o efeito abaixo. A cor base é um rosa bebé da Mollon Pro que vos vou mostrar em breve.

Elevation Polishes mani with L'Oreal Matte

I couldn't resist the temptation to try my previous mani of Elevation Polish Stay Behind, Catch a Wave and Marmolada with matte top coat.

I used one coat of L'Oreal Matte* over the mani that I showed you in my previous post. I really liked how the mani looked matte too, it really made those glitters stand out, though I'm not sure if I prefered it shiny or matte. I think it looked really good both ways.
 
Again, I have to say that I'm so in love with Elevation Polish Stay Behind, Catch a Wave. It is just so pretty that I can't really state that enough! I just love it!
 

Orly Bonder
Elevation Polish Marmolada 3 coats
Elevation Polish Stay Behind, Catch a Wave 1 coat
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri
L'Oreal Matte*


*L'Oreal Matte was sent for me to review, for more information see my disclosure policy.
