Jindie Polish Sparkle on the Vine

Man oh man.  Today has been a super busy day.  I had a doctor's appointment, and then I had to promptly get to work.  Which I just finished...  Yeah, loooooong day!  Anyway, let's take a quick look at Jindie Sparkle on the Vine, a super gorgeous glitter topper!  Then, I'm off to bed.  I'm pooped!

Color: Clear base chock full of squares, hexes, and small, medium, and giant dots in silver, teal, green, purple, and fuchsia.


Finish: Glitter Top Coat – glitter in a clear base to be worn as a top coat.
Bottle / Brush: Tall round bottles with round cap - the cap is a little awkward to hold because it’s so round but also pretty short.  If you have a hard time holding caps, this bottle type might be difficult for you.  The wand and brush are long and slender allowing you to grab glitters from deeper within the bottle but making it a little more difficult to get the larger glitter pieces to stay on the brush.


Opacity: Glitter topcoat – not designed for full opacity.
Glitter Application: Medium – requires the dab method, but the small to medium sized glitters are easy to extract and spread evenly.  The giant dots do require a little fishing and placement, though.


Consistency: Medium – applies easily and doesn’t flood the cuticles.
Overall Ease of Application: Medium – applies well with minimal pooling, dragging, streaking, or balding.  Spreads well without much manipulation.


Stampability: Not designed for stamping.
Dry Time: Medium – dry to the touch with minimal smudging in 3-8 minutes.


Overall Thoughts: Here I've paired Sparkle on the Vine with Elevation Echinops, which you can see here.  I find this pairing perfect as you can still see the lighter and more delicate glitters all while making the bolder glitters pop with more vibrancy.  Application was easy, but I did have to flip the bottle upside down and then fish a bit to get the larger dots out of the bottle.  Otherwise, the rest of the glitters came out well.  I used the dab method for spreading them, but you could easily brush it on like normal for a less dense and more sparse look.  Even though this feels more like a spring polish, I still love it and would definitely wear it any time of year.  I really want to try it with a jelly sandwich next time.  Maybe with OPI Care to Danse.  Which do you think it would work best with, a lighter color or something brighter?
