Sorry! I got it at a blog sale. I wanted to use a blue undie but sky blue turned out more periwinkle. I still like it.

Just throwing this out there.... I have no problems being your personal nail polish tester when you do!!!! Since my special Ed teaching job was cut /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />, I've got plenty of extra time to help!!!l

Holy crap, I feel like I fell down the rabbit hole with this thread. Still in bed with a cold - had no idea about indie polish - am now feverishly adding polish after polish to my Favorites list on Etsy. Too bad I'm also starting out a no-buy month.... I can tell September is going to be hard on the wallet!!! Those of you who are indie gurus, what are your top 2 or 3 brands and/or polishes overall?

Welcome to a whole new world! You might want to try shop.llarowe.com or ninjapolish.com so that you can try multiple brands but only pay shipping once. With etsy, you have to pay separate shipping for each seller.

I love Emily de Molly, KBShimmer, and Hit Polish especially.

 

[heather4602]

Mine are Emily de Molly, Whimsical Ideas by Pam, Different Dimensions, Lilypad Lacquer, and Enchanted Polish ( but they are super hard to get). Wow, there are tons more! I agree with sleepykat look at Llarowe! Every brand they have is amazing and pretty much all indies!

Yaay for being a tester, but boo to your job being cut.

I like lilypad lacquers, different dimension, emily de molly, i could really go on and on /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Its a dangerous addiction to have (on the wallet) but oh so fun!

 

[birdiebijou]

Oh goodness. I'm in trouble now. Thank you, ladies!!

Those are pretty colors.

I used ELF Party Purple as a base, then two coats of Hit Polish Blissful, then mattified (my favourite thing!) with China Glaze Matte Magic topcoat - it makes it satiny, very cool.



(I had to use an iPhone app to colour-correct and it's still not 100%, more vivid IRL.)

Very pretty! 

I tried using Matte Magic once and it made my nail polish peel off.
