Jindie Week: Day 3 - Talk Nerdy 2 Me and Happy Dance

Today's Jindies are super feminine and come in the form of minis. I love Jindie's minis. The squat round bottle makes holding it while painting quite easy while the cap is long, which helps with accuracy. Let's take a look at Talk Nerdy 2 Me and Happy Dance, shall we?

Talk Nerdy 2 Me


Color: Bright pink with blue and pink matte micro glitters


Finish: Glitter Crème – glitter in a crème base.


Bottle / Brush: Squat mini bottle with slender cap - The squat round bottle makes holding it easy while the cap is long enough to hold without any problems.  The wand and brush are longer than your average mini, which makes getting the goodies at the bottom a little easier.


Opacity: Medium – achieves opacity at three to four coats.
Glitter Application: Easy – Spreads evenly without much manipulation.
Consistency: Medium – applies easily and doesn’t flood the cuticles.


Overall Ease of Application: Easy – applies well without pooling, dragging, streaking, or balding.  Spreads evenly and smoothly.


Stampability: Not designed for stamping.


Dry Time: Medium – dry to the touch with minimal smudging in 3-8 minutes.


Overall Thoughts: Talk Nerdy 2 Me is an uber feminine polish that really plays up the girlishness of nail polish. Application was super easy, but it did get a tad thick toward the end of my mani. The thickness, however, did not require the use of thinner. Instead, I popped the cap back on and rolled it between my palms, and it was happy as a clam. The glitters spread evenly without much effort, but it definitely needed three coats for opacity. The first two coats are a bit streaky, so be prepared to either layer it over another pink or to use between three and four coats depending on how thick you want it to be. Talk Nerdy 2 Me was so easy to control that I needed only very minimal cleanup. I tend to make a bit of a mess when I polish, so this was a happy surprise.

Happy Dance


Color: White with teal, purple, melon, and red hexes and teal micro bars

Overall Thoughts: This is the only time you'll ever hear me say this - the bars weren't that bad in Happy Dance! I'm usually a no bars no way no how kind of gal, but they actually worked just fine in this polish. They are so tiny that they didn't stick up or curl. They blended in well with the various layers of the polish, which was great. As you've already seen for the past two days, Jen is a wizard when it comes to creating beautifully perfect white crelly glitters. They layer so easily and build to a nice opacity in three to four coats. Here, I used four coats to ensure the pictures didn't catch any bald spots. You could probably layer this over a white, but I love the depth of layering it over itself. The large hexes were super easy to get out, didn't require digging, and necessitated little effort to place. I think the mini bottle actually works to its benefit for this polish because it was a lot easier to get all of the glitter types out of the bottle and onto my nails.

So, there you have two more Jindie crelly glitters.  What do you think of them so far?  Are you lemming any of her polishes?  You can purchase Jindies at her store here. You can also purchase Jindies from her stockist Llarowe, Mei Mei's Signatures, Ninja Polish, Harlow & Co, and Femme Fatale. Follow Jen from Jindie on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
