Jordana Glitter Specialty 2012 Collection Swatches and Review - !! BE AWARE, Super Long Post!! Lots of pics :)


Hello you all!!
Today I have a very very very long post ... full of great swatches just for you. I have 18 out of the 24 glitters from the Jordana Glitter Specialty Collection 2012.
NET WT 0.20 FL oz / 6 mL and DBP, Toluene & Formaldehyde Free. The other 6 colors are still coming soon. I have been so so super excited to swatch these pretties. They are super blingly pretty and much more in real life.
These polishes are already available at Jordana's website and will be available at Kmart begin of February. however, I've heard some people have found some of them already. Retail price: $2.99. For that little price it's hard to believe you can get such a variety of great polishes in that collection for every taste. I have to take  my hat to Jordana. Great job!! You will find diversity in colors and glitter size, fine, chuncky, graceful, bold, funcky, elegant. It's a collection to be put in your wishlist.


Be prepared to scroll down as you will find lotsss of pictures. You are about to have 18 swatches before your eyes right now! In my opnion, I believe this will be fun to look at them though. Some polishes I used by themselves and some of them I layered over other cream/jelly color to better show its effect. These are just my choices but you can feel free to layer those glitters over any color that would better suit your taste. Another note: the pictures are not posted in any specific order. Now, let's get to the swatches and details on the colors of this collection. Hope you all have fun :)

 FAIRY DUST ****- a fine and super fine holografic silver glitter imersed in a graceful fairy pink jelly (but thick) base. I used 2 coats of that over 1 coat of Milani Fashionable to make that glitter pop and sow its beauty. Fairy Dust was a little too thick and I used a couple drops of nail polish thinner to make it manageable. It worked great. It's a really pretty polish. I kinda felt like a princess wearing it.

 CELEBRATION****- a very infused fine lilac glitter that I managed to make full coverage by itself. What you see above is a result of 2 coats. Very good application, except it was a bit thick and I also had to add a couple of drops of nail polish thinner on this bottle too. But other than that the polish is just fine.

 MAGENTA MAGIC**** - hexa and fine fuschia glitter in a clear base. Not thick. Just perfect formula. Again I used 1 coat of Magenta Magic over 2 coats of Milani Fashionable. I love the way it looks!

 PIXIE PINK**** - hexa and fine copper pink in a clear base. I used 1 coat of that one over Jordana White. I wish I could have apply two coats of the glitter instead. I wish I could be able to have full coverage with that glitter but I don't think I can. However, it's a very pretty polish in real life and probably will remind you of some polish that just came out during the past holidays. Jordana Pixie Pink is a great choice for its quality and price.

 RHINESTONES***** - Very fine and hexagones silver glitter + a super fine gold glitter (that one you won't be able to see on the picture or not even in real life unless you really look up close - it's super subtle, yet pretty). I know this one looks ordinary but it is one of my favorite one. The formula is so dense with the fine glitter that I could have full coverage with just 2 coats of it. It's super classy in my opnion. I love that one!

 GREEN GLITZ***** - Another favorite of mine. Beautiful emerald fine glitter in a clear base. I used 2 coats of Green Glitz over 2 coats of  Milani Antique. The name of that glitter makes me giggle as I write this. When i was a kid I used to call glitter -> "glitz". Oh, how I love childhood sweet memories. Thanks Jordana Cosmetics for that :)

 GOLD GLAM ** - I can not tell you how anxious I was to try this one. I had high expections for Gold Glam. That is a fine gold glitter in a clear base with some specs of holografic losange/diamond pieces in it. Those beautiful little diamonds are really hard to apply on the nails. I had to pick one by one to apply them. I was dissapointed on this polish. It seems like those funky shapes are too heavy for the formula and most of them are just sitting on the bottom of the bottle. I tried to shake as much as I could until I gave up. I like the concept though.

 COPPER BLAZE ***** - Wowww so chic and elegant. I feel like a diva wearing that. Who in the world will tell me that I am wearing a $2.99 polish? Tell me? Who? Jordana did such a great job on this collection I have no words to say. Copper Blaze is a fine and hexagone coppery orange glitter in a clear base. It's beautiful! I used 1 coat of  that over 2 coats of Milani Antique.

BRONZE FEAST *** - When I grabbed that bottle I was like "uhmm it kinda looks like Copper Blaze doesn't it?" But looking at them side by side you will see that bronze Feast is fuller in its formula that Copper Blaze. Bronze Feast has more of a spicy pumpkin fine and hexa glitter with some fine and hexa gold glitter in a clear base. It looks very sofisticated!

 COSMIC ***** - Stop the traffic lights! Do you see what I see? Is that really $2.99 polish? Yes, it is. Thanks to Jordana we have access to feel like a million dollars. Cosmic was on my list to "being anxious to see it". That one made me a happy girl! It's a fine blue glitter with hexa blue, silver and green glitter in a clear base. I know what yu are all thinking right now and yes, it looks like a high end kinda polish DL Across the Universe. To achieve the color above I used 2 coats of Cosmic over one coat of a non labeled sheer navy polish I have. Any sheer or cream navy polish you have will do the work for you. Just lay it with Cosmic and there you have it. "That is gorgeous! " our waitress said to me while taking our orders. She couldn't stop staring at my nails and writing our orders on her notepad and all of a sudden she stopped and asked: "Is that a polish? That is gorgeous!!" I love when I get compliments on my nails. That means it is beautiful indeed. Cosmic, I love you!!

 LUNAR LIGHTS***** - ohhh pretty you are. When I got these polishes that bottle was one of them that I was looking at it and turning the bottle up and down and examining and all. It's a gorgeous holografic hexagon and super fine glitter suspended in this kinda milky but super magic formula I can't even explain. Immmediately I thought laying that over black. And yes, it looks fantastic!

 SEQUINS ***** - I know some people wearing asking me on my fb page about that one. So here you have it. I was also excited for that one and I do like it. It's super fun! Sequins is a gold, blue and fuschia hexagone glitter infused with lots of fine red glitter in a clear base. Very cute! I wasn't over it just looking at the bottle but I loved when I layered 2 coats of that over black.

 BLUE BASH **** - ocean blue fine and heaxagone glitter in a clear base. To better incorporate the color I used a coat of Wet n' Wild Bleu Bijou and used 2 coats of Blue Bash. Such a pretty vibrant blue but it's not in your face type of color either.

 LA CITY NIGHTS **** - A fine blue and purple glitter in a clear base. I used 2 coats of LA City Nights over 2 coats of black Milani Antique.

CELESTIAL**** - it's an aqua green fine and hexa glitter in a almost jelly aqua green colored base. I wanted to use some base color and ended up using Petites 473- Tahitian Green to achieve the look of the picture above. I'm also pretty sure Celestial would look great over black, white, silver and gold. Very pretty glitter :)

 GEMSTONES***** - A multicolored hexa glitter. I bet you have seen that before somewhere but yet it's not a "I will pass type of polish". It's a must have it!! Gemstones over black or white would be very pretty too :) As I swatched that collection I was thinking how happy I am for Jordana's work coming up with all of those pretty sparklies.

 MY SUPERSTAR ***** - Oh that one brings a smile to my face. Another one I was so excited for it and I'm happy to have it. My Superstar is a fine gold glitter with gold, blue and red hexa glitters in a clear base. I layered 2 coats of that over Milani Antique. Love it a lot!!

 FUNKY GOLD TOWN **** -  and last but not least a gold hexa glitter to add chuncks of bling to your nails. everybody should have something like that in their nail polish collection. That one screams to me "Let's parteeeee!!!" I heart that one.

If you wanna see a video of those bottles here it is:

Glitter gals: are you excited to see some of these polishes in person when they hit Kmart next month? Thoughts? I'm super excited to try Gemstones. Outer Space, Bronze Beast and My Superstar look fun as well.

Jordana Purple Glam

Oh wowww!! I had bought this Jordana awhile back and of course this baby was on my untried pile. How come I have never tried this polish before? This is Jordana Purple Glam. I am super excited to show it to you guys.
Purple Glam is a sparkle glitter and confetti suspendend in a gorgeous purplish grape base. Looking at this swatch kinda looks like I've tried to do a glitter sandwich but no. It is the polish itself. It's really pretty! I couldn't stop loooking at my nails- laugh. And again, I have to say Jordana polish are really really good. Needless to say it's super affordable. I have had great experiences with jordana polishes overall. The price is great, it's quite good amount for a polish 15ml content, great brush, formula is always great and very pigmented. If you haven't tried Jordana polishes before you should give it a try.



And I had to do a blurry picture so you guys could see all the sparkle in that polish. I just love it!! I don't have anything in my collection like it. It's a must have!

My favorite white nail polish? This one here.

Hello my friends! Hope you guys are enjoying your weekend as much as I am enjoying mine. I am loving my weekend and I'll be sad it will be over soon. I have my best friend from Arizona visiting me for the whole weekend.
For today's post I have a favorite simple thing to share with you guys.
Funny that I was planning on posting this and I got 2 messages asking me what was my favorite white nail polish. And here you have it!
I've tried so many white nail polishes and couldn't never find to like anyone. I then got to find my favorite white polish in a bottle of Jordana. Yes! It's a plane white polish. But so so pigmented and with easy application. I wish I had known of this polish before. No streaky, no dragging and only my usual 2 coats of lacquer. And if you are wondering the price I'll tell you it's only $1.99 plus taxes. I couldn't be happier to have this polish!! I am very pleased cause I could never find a good consistent white polish. Maybe I am being to dramatic but if you like nail polish - well if you are reading this this far and have your eyes on this blog that means you like polish right? So, yeah, I am not being over excited but anywho I am happy I found Jordana White :)
Have a great day my friends and again thank you for following me here on my blog and facebook page. It's like I always say, I am not an expert in the nail polish stuff but I so enjoy this world.

Jordana Nail Polish

Have you seen Jordana nail polish before?
I have tried them HERE and HERE on this blog before. I really like them and think the colors are beautifully opaque. I received some other colors from Jordana Cosmetics and would love to talk more about some awesome shades of nail polish they have.
First of all, I want to say Happy 25th Anniversary to Jordana Cosmetics. They have been out in the marketing for a quarter of century. They also have their products proudly made here in the USA. That is so great!
They said their commitment is to offer everyone fashionable cosmetics of superior quality at affordable prices. And it really is.
You can find these nail polish on their website Jordana Cosmetics or Kmart for only $1.99. It's a great buy for such great quality of a product.
Their nail polish are 3 free - DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde. Each bottle contains a good amount of 0.5 fl/oz or 15ml.

Just for the record on swatching these polish I want you to know, if not stated below that:

- I used 2 coats to achieve the color you see. Exceptions below.
- No top coat added
- Brush has good quality and offers good application
- Color on nail is true to the bottle
- Finish very good
- No streaky. Exception below. The shimmer ones are a bit streaky though. I guarantee about the cream colors. Jordana cream nail polish are great! Truste me.
- Only downside but yet not too bad -> goes towards shimmer colors. They don't offer great application. Too streaky. I did not post one colors here cause it was awfully streaky ( Jordana Foiled in Pink). You are gonna find an exception in everything right? Although that didn't work for me, it might work for you. But don't miss the chance to try other shades. I really really think Jordana nail polish are super good, specially the price.
- Would I buy or recommend them? Totally. Specially the opaque cream colors. They are gorgeous.
Now to the pictures.

 ORANGE JOLT - it's a shimmery orangesicle color. A little streaky but still ok after applying Jordana's base coat.
YELLOW DAZZLE - I really love this one better on the nail than in the bottle. It's a cream banana yellow with glitter and sparkles in it. There are a lot in the bottle but when applying it looks just subtle on the nails. I love it. The application was great!


 BERRY PARFAIT - the name for this one is suitable for the color. It's a cream super opaque parfait pink. I only used one single coat. Can you believe that? Yeah, I told you, I lovecream opaque colors from Jordana. This one is a must have it.


FASCINATED WITH RED - how wouldn't I be fascinated with such a beautiful deep red like that one? This is gorgeous!!!! Are you kidding me? I love this polish. No wonder, I left this one to be the last one. I only used one single coat and no top coat at all. Look how opaque it's it. Look how shinny it is. Just perfection!! Yes, I am fascinated.

Tell me, which one is your favorite?
Would you like to see more Jordana her eon this blog?

Pink Wednesday - Pink Tip

I got this beautiful blue teal from Jordana and I was sooooo excited to try it on. I know I'm supposed to do a pink mani for today but I forgot - laugh. yeah, that's how excited I was to try that blue teal.
Then I thought " It's alright. I can add some pink to it. They will go together really well."
But talking about the teal from Jordana I got say I simply loved loved the color. It's opaque in just one coat. However I was a little frustrated with it. I know last week I swatched a pretty coral from Jordana. I had no complaints about that one. But I had issues with this bottle here. As I was applying the formula to my 10 nail fingers it started to get thicker and gooey around the open on the bottle. Maybe I just happened to score a bad bottle. Weird!! Oh, and I am not even mentioning the hard time I had cleaning the excess of that polish. It stained my cuticles and skin real bad. Imagine the nail!! And I am always applying a base coat before any nail polish. Plus, when I applied the top coat (Seche Vite then I tried 0-60) to it it kinda turned the blue teal into a greenish tone to it. I don't know, that was just so messed up.
Overall that's what I need to put up with when I love a color too  much.
I still love the color though and the formula application. And because it's Wednesday and On Wednesday I wear Pink here I have my mani of the day. I thought of doing this design with tape but I had no time for it. I attempted just a free hand and guess what? Not too shabby. What do you think?

Pink Wednesday - Jordana Tangy

I have found this pretty coral pink from Jordana that I am just in love. For some reason, I have been so into coral colors lately. I have a shirt I bought this summer that I better have somebody over and hide that for me. I am wearing it all the time.
This is my first time wearing this brand of nail polish. I have picked 4 different shades of Jordana. I love that name. It was my best neighborhood friend's name. How I miss her. Green eyes and freckles. We were always looking fo trouble. Miss that girl.
But anyways, here are some pictures of Jordana Tangy. And I don't know why I have some problems photographing coral/orange colors. The iPhone camera has a HDR feature so I am adding those pictures with that different setting so you can get an idea of the color. I even tried to use a white background since the table I use is gray and it kinda darkens out any bright colors I have on my nails. I know I really should look for a greater way to get better pictures. For today I cropped my pictures ( I like Kellie Gonzo's style)  so you guys can just see more my nails then hands. I just don't like to spend time editing pictures :(
Also I stamped some Konad over that beautiful coral shade and I love it! I then applied a new top coat I found to be as good as Seche Vite. Not better. But good. The Color Club 0-60 does its job. I like it cause it isn't that thick like SV and it doesn't have that strong smell to it. The only difference is that have the shinny factor that the SV adds to your polish. But that's about it on my opnion. Also it's a lot cheaper than SV anyways. But I got admit SV has a specila place in my heart. Below you can see pictures of the color club dry fast top coat.






Here are some of my favorite pink corals I totally recommend.
