Ninja Polish ~ Flibbertigibbet

Linear holo that shifts from green to golds and browns

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.
