Wingdust Collections – These Broken Wings

Nothing to Disclose

Hello my dearest readers!  I have a quickie swatch and review for you today.  This polish had been on my wishlist for awhile and I lucked up and managed to snag one in a swap with a fellow indie polish-enthusiast.  If you haven’t got this Wingdust yet, what are you waiting for?!

These Broken Wings is a sheer blue-gray holographic jelly polish filled with tiny silver holographic microglitter, iridescent glitter shreds, teensie iridescent bar glitter, and silver foil flakies.  This color is right up my alley and while I did have some reservations about the foil flakes I found that I loved them!

You can see a little bit of the holographic rainbow here.  While it is a gorgeous blue-gray base because of the holographic effect and the iridescent glitters it can seem to lean just slightly periwinkle.  It is a sheer polish but it does build to opacity but it still retains the translucency of a jelly polish.  There were no formula issues that I was able to detect.

WingDust Wednesday!

Nothing to Disclose

I haven’t done a WingDust Wednesday in awhile and I thought I should change that!  I recently snagged up a WingDust I’ve been wanting for awhile and of COURSE I’m going to share it with YOU!

This is Somewhere Out There:

Before I start, yes this polish prompted me to burst into song.  Sometimes that just can’t be helped.  It’s a long standing jokein my family that I can often find a line or two of a song to sing depending on words or phrases that are said in conversation.  It also serves to annoy some people sometimes…not that that is my intention of course.  I can’t control it.  I just sometimes spontaneously burst into song.  Wow redundant blogger is redundant.  And just so I can poke fun at myself for saying the same thing twice I’m not fixing it…

This is a deep burgundy/maroon/purply jelly base (don’t you love my color descriptions?) filled with goldenrod matte dots, magenta metallic glitter, holographic moons, gold holographic bar glitter, small red matte hexes, red metallic dots, gold metallic glitter, and some gold and holographic micro glitter!  Tons of sparkliness that’s for sure!

I love WingDust jellies and crellies.  They are sheer enough to be squishy but they build up in only two coats AND the glitter doesn’t get all poky (for the most part, the moons on this one did want to poke up a little but I contribute that to the shape rather than the base of the polish).   This one went on fabulously…I did need to turn it over for a few minutes to redistribute the glitter but I got it from a destash sale so it had probably been sitting in one position for a long time.

Wingdust Collections – Swatches and Review

Giveaway Prize

Readers far and wide!  I have a lovely pair of Wingdust Collections polishes to show you today.  I received these as a giveaway prize from their Facebook page and I cannot begin to tell you how delighted I was to receive them…not to mention the glass nail file (my favorite one so far) and Canadian candy that was in the package too!

First up is a lovely girly that is perfect for summer!  This is Funhouse!

Funhouse is a bright pastel lavender crelly based polish filled with neon pink, pastel pink, aqua, and bright purple glitters in a multitude of shapes and sizes.  It would be a tragedy for me not to mention the lovely subtle shimmer that runs throughout the polish.  There are triangle and star glitter in here so it’s a WIN for me!

I have a small collection of Wingdust Collections polishes now and I have encountered nothing but greatness.  For a crelly-based glitter which can sometimes present some challenges in application this one is really top of the heap when it comes to glitter dispersion and application.  I didn’t have to fish for the shaped glitters and I didn’t have any troubles applying the polish.  Pictures show two coats plus a glitter smoothing topcoat and a shiny topcoat.

Polishes used:  Sally Hansen – Complete Care 4-in-1 Treatment; Wingdust Collections – Funhouse (prototype); Carpe Noctem – Glitterslayer; Digital Nails – Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That Topcoat

Next up is After-Party @ Jimmy’s!

I LOVE this one.  It’s every single thing that I love about indie nail polish.  Unique? Check!  Jelly-based glitter bomb? CHECK!  Star Glitter? checkCheckCHECK!  Doesn’t hurt that it’s in my go-to color family either…I’m just super drawn to blues and teals and this one has both…score!  After-Party at Jimmy’s is a dark blue/blurple jelly base packed with shimmer.  There are navy, lavender, pastel pink, magenta and teal glitter is several shapes (including triangles and stars!) and finishes.

The thing that I’ve come to really enjoy about Wingdust Collections is the ease of use.  I think that even polishers who aren’t familiar with these kinds of polishes would find it relatively easy to apply.  I didn’t have any problem with getting glitter on the nail or spreading evenly.  Because of the jelly base it has a delicious depth to it that you just don’t get with non-jelly based polish.  There is a trade off of translucency but this was still only two and a half coats plus glitter smoother and topcoat.

Wednesdays We Wear Pink! Featuring Wingdust Collections

Nothing to Disclose

Ok so ya’ll know I love blue and teal and green.  But I also love PINK which is why I decided to start this series of pink posts!  I don’t know how long I’ll keep it up but I really kind of like them so we shall see!

Today I have a beautiful polish to show you.  Wingdust Collections Beach Bum!

Beach Bum is a luscious squishy hot pink jelly packed to the brim with all kinds of wonderful glitter!  I see tiny coral hexes, pink metallic dots, small silver holographic hexes, big silver holographic dots.  Basically a bunch of really awesome glitter!  The formula is really easy to work with and I had no trouble getting a decent glitter spread and good coverage in 2.5 coats.  Because of the length of my nails the free edge has a really prominent nail line and sometimes with jelly polishes it takes a little extra on the tips to combat that for photos.

I wore it with a stamped design that I did by using one of those dreaded french tip stamping plates.  Those things never “fit” my nail properly and I was staring at the one I have (you know you all have one too) and I thought “HEY, if I flip it it’ll be a HALF-MOON design” whaaaat.  That was pretty much how it went.  Anyway I used Sally Hansen – Silver Sweep to do the stamping and I was really pleased at how it turned out!
