Indie Polish Lovers

Mentality is doing another half off sale on their Big Cartel site as they get ready to move to their own domain. A bunch of polishes are sold out, but there's still a bunch left!

Uh oh. I already know I'm going to have to buy the Rainbow Honey Summer Mixtape collection due entirely to the theme. It's a good thing I have a two-and-a-half-week warning for this. I'm a bit bummed the color of the month was a Mystery Bag shade. I was hoping for something different I don't already have. Better luck next month, I guess.

Pretty much everything I've received in earlier Mystery Bags has turned up in future collections, although (obviously) not as a color of the month.  I wish they'd sent Sea Star in an MB.  I like that polish a lot.

@@meaganola thanks for the reminder; I totally forgot!

Excited to hear about new RH polishes coming soon!

Squee! I got an e-mail earlier today saying I won a Primary Glazing Trio from Mentality's recent giveaway! This is the first time I've ever won a giveaway, and I've really wanted to try their glazes, so I'm super excited! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's awesome! I've never won any nail polish, but would be so excited to! I hope we see them all in your upcoming 30 Inspirations Nail Art Challenge responses!

Right, I know they typically show up later. My disappointment is specifically due to the fact that this one is a COTM.

I saw that.  She's got a blue holo I wanted but it's not in the cards. I've heard nothing but awesome things about them.

Today I noticed that bloggers started posting swatches of the Rainbow Honey Mixtape series.  Some of them posted that 120 bloggers were chosen to get 2-3 shades each to share.  There's also a code for 20% off any RH purchase between now and 8/31: MIXTAPE20

Dashing housewife is having a moving sale... 25% off orders of $8 or more. I'm super broke so I can't participate which makes me sad. I really want her new collection.

Also Laquerlicious has a mystery prototype bag $18 shipped for 3 prototype polishes. I want these badly... Trying to convince the boyfriend to buy them for me!!!

Ooh, which ones? I don't follow nail blogs really, but there are a few Mixtape polish descriptions that have me very interested!

ETA: Never mind... Google coughed up a few for me. Tragically, the swatches of some of the ones I was most curious about are kind of underwhelming ("I Wanna Get Better" and "One Minute More").

Hit Polish having Christmas in July



She said it's her last sale before Christmas but she said she wasn't going to make new polishes until August either.  I haven't gotten any since new release and I am torn.  I am on a pretty strict no buy right but it's SO tempting.  Unfortunately for me the minis I have from her already seem to be suffering from the mini indie glitter curse and drying out.  One bottle of Invader Zim I got just before she closed thats completely evaporated.  She switched to 7ml only which means I only have that as an option.  The crellies seem unaffected so far which is nice.  I will probably have to miss out on this sale too.

 

[meaganola]

Yay, got in on the early access window for Rainbow Honey Summer Mixtape!  I went for the mini collection.  I also snagged Papillon and The Kraken while I was at it, which put my order over $65, so I got a bottle of Neon Blossom (which I have in mini form, but it's a RH glitter!  I'm pretty sure I can rehome it if necessary) and a small July Mystery Bag for free.  I'm a Mystery Bag subscriber, so I have one already, but I really like this month's assortment, so it won't be a hardship to have a backup for these since I didn't get a full-sized sub.  I need to remember to switch to full-sized.  I wonder if they can do that for me or if I need to dig my CC out, cancel the mini, and resub with the full-sized.

Oh, and then I used the MIXTAPE20 code and got 20% off, so it ultimately cost me $52!  I have a feeling I might be turning around and buying some of the Summer Mixtape shades in full-sized versions, but I did want all of them but not full sizes of all of them, so the mini collection was the best option for me.  Now I can give these good test runs to see which ones I *really* need in big bottle form!

Those polishes are so pretty. My favorites are by Arcane Lacquer.

I'm looking for a 3 free or 5 free basecoat. I have Rainbow Honey's All Your Base, but I'm almost out and I can't find it on their site. I like a basecoat I can also wear as clear polish and I like mini/smaller sizes, but I'm open to any suggestions. I did a search on Etsy but apparently I'm not searching for the right terms. I've not been in indie polish enough to know very many brands, so I'm counting on the MUT crowd to help me out ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
