If you haven’t been in the nail polish world for long,
then you might wonder if Ninja Polish is a new upcoming brand. It isn’t. It’s a
sad story, really. The story started out really well. Ninja Polish opened up as
a webshop where you could buy all the polishes that were hard to get for us
non-American girls. The shop also sold some of the very sought after Brazilian
brands HIT and Jade, plus her own really cool polishes: Ninja Polish. It was
such a fantastic shop, customer service was great and so was the shipping time.
It was a ninja shop for sure!
After a while something happened. Shipping suddenly
weren’t as fast and there was no communication to the customers. I had friends
who waited months for their polishes to be shipped. It turned out that the
owner was in the middle of a difficult divorce. I have full sympathy for life
interferences but in my opinion it was a mistake to keep the shop open and not
fulfil obligations. Don’t take people’s money if you aren’t going to give them
something in return. Or at least communicate. Eventually she shut the shop
down.
After another while, Ninja Polish reopened the shop.
The number of brands were narrowed down. It was when the shop reopened, I
bought Flibbertigibbet along with a couple of polish sisters. It took 10 days
from I ordered to I received a shipping notification. I must admit that it made
me nervous, so I was really happy when my shipping notice arrived.
The Facebook page is last updated October 14,2016, where the owner and maker states:
”I apologize
for the lack of communications and fulfillment recently. All open orders were
refunded yesterday. The store will remain online for browsing but inventory is
pulled at this time until fulfillment can resume in a timely manner”.
The shop is still open but everything is marked as
sold out.
When I browse the Internet I find a lot of stories of
girls who had to file a Paypal claim in order to get their money back.
It’s a shame really, because Ninja Polishes are really
great polishes. But I must admit that I’m not going to trust her with my money
again. I’m still going to cherish the Ninjas I’ve got though!
Which brings us back to today’s manicure!
I used two coats of Flibbertigibbet, sprinkled a few
iridescent glitters on each nail and then stamped a water marble design on it.
The design is from the plate BP-L061 and I stamped with a stamping polish from
El Corazón called Restless Night. The glitter I used is from Jordana and is
called Lunar Nights. That’s two Nights and a Flibbertigibbet in one single
mani! :D
This is my final mani in the sun, including a layer of
topcoat.
This is taken in my lightbox to show off the glitter
and the stamping design.
Flibbertigibbet is really beautiful in the sun where
she gets to show all her pretty rainbows.
Here it is in the shade. The colour shift isn’t
prominent and the colour is a bit murky. I wouldn’t wear this polish on its
own.
Here are the three polishes and the stamping plate I
used for my mani.
