Indie Polish spam!

*Provided for review*



Hey guys! Tonight I have some more beauties from Indie Polish to show you! Formula on all of these was great, easy to work with & a pleasure to apply. I have yet to be disappointed by any of Tanya's polishes!

'A Rose By Any Holo Name' - 2 coats alone & 1 coat over black + topcoat. Small rose colored hexes mixed with micro silver holo hexes in a clear base. Consistency is on the thick side, but in a good way, making opacity easy to achieve without being goopy. So sparkly, it's mesmerizing! 





'Better Than Sex' - 3 coats with & without topcoat. Burgundy base with a subtle orange & purple shimmer. Dries matte. Adding topcoat gives it that lit from within look!




'Turquoise Seas' - 3 coats alone & 1 coat over black + topcoat. Turquoise jelly base with small & micro silver holo hexes & blue flakes!




'Sparkle Motion' - 2 coats over black + topcoat. Small & medium iridescent hexes in a clear base. Could be layered over any color! Plus I love the Donnie Darko reference!

Novel Nail Polish



It's a miracle! I'm actually doing a blog post! I don't think I've done this in like 6 months.. shame on me. To be honest, once I discovered Instagram everything changed. It became so much easier to just post my pix on there, that I got bored of blogging & let it go. But lately I've been wanting to get back into it again.. so here goes!

Monica from Novel Nail Polish recently sent me some polishes for review. She is super sweet & makes the most amazing thermal polishes! I posted them on Instagram last week, but I love them so much I just had to post them on here as well! Formula was great on all of them. Some of the larger glitters require a little bit of fishing, but that is to be expected. Overall, these polishes are a pleasure to work with!


'Sweet Treats'. 2 coats + topcoat. A nude crelly that has a slight golden shimmer to it & a mix of brown, red, green, copper, & yellow glitters, as well as red hearts! It reminds me of gingerbread men which is totally appropriate since this polish comes with the option of adding a gingerbread scent!  




'Always A Lady'. 2 coats + topcoat. A shimmery jelly thermal loaded with iridescent blue micro flakes, as well as white hex & square glitter. Goes from light coral-pink when warm to a darker hot Barbie-esque pink when cold. It also glows yellow in the dark!





 'Midnight Mayhem'. 3 coats + topcoat. Shimmery jelly thermal loaded with iridescent blue micro flakes & a mix of hot pink, silver, chartreuse, & blue glitters, as well as holo silver skull glitter! Goes from an opalescent light gray when warm to dark gray when cold. Also glows blue/purple in the dark!





'Candy Cane Binge'. 2 coats + topcoat. Shimmery jelly thermal loaded with white micro flakes as well as red, white, & silver glitters. Goes from white when warm to red when cold. Also comes with the option of adding a peppermint scent!




'Elf Yourself'. 2 coats over Essie 'Go Overboard' + topcoat. Awesome glitter topper loaded with shimmer & micro flakes, as well as Christmas trees, jingle bells, & candy cane glitters! Had to fish out some of the larger glitters, but it's totally worth it!





'Christmas Cheer'. 2 coats + topcoat. Gorgeous shimmery jelly thermal loaded with white micro flakes as well as red, black, green, white, & gold glitters. Goes from white when warm to green when cold. 




'It's Elf'n Cold Outside!'. 1 coat over OPI 'Dating A Royal' + topcoat. Beautiful glitter topper loaded with iridescent shimmer & micro flakes as well as white hexes & squares, and pink & white snowflakes! The snowflakes require a bit of fishing, but once again, totally worth it!

KBShimmer - Diva

If you've been following my blog for awhile, you know of my obsession with the color purple, & glitter (any kind of glitter!).. well, ladies & gents.. it doesn't get much better than this in my book! Diva is a purple jelly with a strong blue shimmer that is jam packed with various sizes of holo hex glitter. It is absolutely breathtaking even in low lighting, but it really comes alive in the sun! Just look at all the rainbow goodness peeking through the purple! Heavenly.

This is 3 coats of Diva with 2 coats of topcoat.

Cult Nails - Charming

Charming is a dusty purple with gorgeous violet shimmer throughout. It was quite challenging to get a color accurate photo of this one. In the outdoor pics it comes out looking too blue toned. The indoor pics captured the true color a bit better. Application was nice & smooth. This polish is beautiful and definitely a must have for any purple lover like myself!

This is 3 coats of Charming (except on my index finger which has 4 coats because I kept smudging it!), with 1 coat of topcoat.

Outdoors, overcast:
It started raining while I was taking these so please pardon the little droplets!


Indoors, without flash:
Most color accurate (except for my skin).

Maybelline Color Show - Wine & Dined

Wine & Dined is a beautiful brown with burgundy and golden shimmer throughout. The only thing I don't like about this polish is the name. Improper grammar is a pet peeve of mine, so it really bugs me that they didn't name it either "Wined & Dined" or "Wine & Dine". Either way they should have kept it in the same tense, whether it be past or present. Oh well.. it's a beautiful polish nonetheless!

This is 2 coats of Wine & Dined with 1 coat of topcoat.
