Indie Polish Lovers

[Bflopolska]

I just read some blog postings about the "jelly sandwich" technique and I'm itching to try it! I have the Ipsy code for Rainbow Honey so I want to check there--do they have the kind of jelly polishes I would need for that kind of look? And what other companies and shades can you recommend?

I have read good things about The Nail Junkie for jellies. I've personally had good success with using Zoya for jelly sandwiches; Frida, Paloma, and Katherine. I've seen good results with Wet 'n' Wild 2% Milk and Essie Marshmallow. Wet 'n' Wild Fuchsiarama is a great one. Revlon Sheer Seafoam.

Curse my low/now buy.  Mentality is releasing a set with a black and white stamping polish plus 10 "glaze" polishes.  Basically those are their version of jelly/sheers.  Whole set is only $50.  Domestic shipping is always free.  This is a great deal.  Too bad the BF will never go for it!!

My eyeballs just fell out!!!

I asked her how much they would be after the initial offering and she responded about $6 each.  I may have to get two per paycheck instead!!!

 

[LinaMingo]

Did she say how long the intro price is for? I already planned a rainbow heart purchase with my ipsy code. Eek what to do what to do.

She did not.

Aww, those are pretty! I'm really curious to play with some sheer polishes. Curse my low buy (and some failing at low buying)... I picked up a few Gothic Gala Lacquers polishes (allowed on my low buy since I didn't pick up the Pretty & Polished box), but then I bit on a Fab.com deal for Rainbow Honey polishes. I might have to pick up a few of Mentality's sheers on their own, but I can't justify the full set!

 

[Bflopolska]

What is the fab.com deal with Rainbow Honey, and can it be used with this month's Ipsy code?

On the website fab.com, they're running a deal for 50% off clearance items, including 2 Rainbow Honey sets. It can't be used with the Rainbow Honey ipsy code. The sale only goes through tonight, I believe.

Click on this link: http://fab.com/redeem/friendsandfamily . It should bring you to fab.com, and say that you've activated the 50% off clearance code.

And then either search for Rainbow Honey, or use this link: http://fab.com/search/?q=rainbow+honey&designer[]=rainbow-honey&page=1 - there are 2 sets on there. I think shipping is ~$6 or free with orders >$49. I picked up some other gifts and got free shipping when I placed my order.

I just had to share because I never win giveaways!  I won a free mystery box from cult nails on facebook the other day!  I'm so excited!  I haven't tried any of their polishes yet so I'm really looking forward to receiving it!

My mystery bag from 365 Days of color is here!

I got 2 full sized bottles of you've got to be orchid-Ing me and frolicking. A full size cuticle oil in Paris amour and a nail polish mini of just blue & I. Super happy with everything I got.

I got really lucky when Ellagee did a mystery Easter box last month, and managed to snag a box.

Spoiler

The box had 4 mini polishes: Beam Me Up, Delight, Unreleased Prototype and Lucy in the Sky.



I tried Delight right away and loved the look. There was apparently something wrong with my bottle since the formula was a disaster and it was super goopy, so she's sending me a new bottle.



I've sampled the other polishes, but haven't worn them yet. Beam Me Up gives a gold shimmer, the prototype is silver and black glitter, and Lucy in the Sky is a very strong holo topcoat with silver glitter.

I forgot to add 365 days of color has a 25% off for Easter and the mystery bags are still available.

I love all three of the polish colors!

My Rainbow Honey order is still in pre-shipment status.  I realize they are probably so overwhelmed by orders since the Ipsy bag but this is just seems like a really long time since I ordered it.  I almost forgot it was coming.
