Indie Polish Lovers

[NotTheMama]

My Llarowe grab bag came today!! I got three amazing polishes: Smitten polish-bottom of the bottle says "Klaatu Barada Nikto" not sure if that's the name of the polish?!? It's a gorgeous purple polish with tons of different color micro glitter...it is stunning

I don't know why it's photographing blue, it's purple in the bottle!! Next I got Liquid Sky Lacquer in Water Lilies-it's a beautiful teal glitter with multi size & color hex glitter...really, really pretty!!!

And my last polish is from a dorn and it's a fabulous deep blue micro glittery polish...I love my blue polishes, so this one is perfect. It's called All hands on deck.

I am thrilled with all three, I don't think I could have done a better job had I been allowed to pick them myself. I would absolutely order another grab bag!!!

The white one reminds me of the Hard Candy sprinkles polishes a little.

OMG these are so pretty!!  I can't wait until I get off work to swatch them I just quick snapped a photo on break when I ran to get the mail.

I love the ones on the ends!! What are the names of the polishes?? I thought the Willie Wonka ones were so cleverly named!!

Glitter on the left: I'm Skeksis & I Know It White: We Are Again One Gold: Aughra's Orrey Purple on the left: The Dark Crystal I'm working in a TDC mani right now! Purple *and* sparkly!

 

[NotTheMama]

Post pics please!! If my mani didn't still look great, it would have been history by now!! Lol...my cuticles are a mess, so I don't want to subject then to polish remover any more than I have to right now. But as soon as this mani chips...watch out!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Those are so pretty, I will have to be on the lookout for mystery bags.

Okay, still curing, so please excuse the lack of cleanup (I wanted to get it posted before I got distracted and forgot!), but here's The Dark Crystal:

Two coats of Elmer's school glue as base coat, three coats of TDC, and one coat of Seche Vite.

I didn't get a chance to do anything last night because my Bundle Monster fan created plates came yesterday too and I was testing them.  Here was what I did this morning.  I had a bit of trouble with the Dark Crystal formula only because of the glitters in it and I wasn't really being very cautious.  I think in the future I will wear it over something and do one coat.  There is also no top coat on any of these. I only did one coat of I'm Skeksis & I Know It.

From left to right:  The Dark Crystal, I'm Skeksis & I Know It (over China Glaze Pelican Gray), We Are Again One, and Aughra's Orrey





I love them all.  I am typically not a fan of gold but it has pastel glitters in it that really set it apart from anything else I have.  I adore We Are Again One so much and of course the other two are super stunning.

I have bought so much from Hit Polish lately and I will continue to do so.  I love these little bags, sorry I missed the Willy Wonka one.

Do you put the glue in a polish bottle or do you apply it another way?  I can't remember if I asked you that before.

I put it in a polish bottle. I happened to have a new empty bottle laying around. You could easily just use a clean polish/paint brush and a little puddle of glue in a bowl/on a plastic lid/etc.

Those are really pretty, I never ordered from hit polish but after seeing these I might have to.

I just got a ton of her polishes last Monday too so I will swatch those later and post them.

Pardon the crappy iPhone 4 pics but here is what I got from Hit Polish last week.  Some of these are from the discontinued stuff on her Etsy shop so it may not be available.

Left to right:  Frooty Pebbles, (my fav of this group) Snow White, Key Lime Pie, Retro Chic.  All these are over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and is one coat of the glitter.



Left to right: Galaxy quest, Random Access Memories (both over Sinful Colors Whipped.  Random Access Memories is the polish she used to make the earrings in the grab bag last month), Sapphire (for spending $30.00) and Rachel's 35 bday polish (for being one of first 14 customers to spend $15 on her bday sale)



This is a bottle shot of Galaxy Quest.  This is by far my favorite of them. 



From left to right:  Superman (pictures don't do it justice), In Loving Memory (Charity polish in honor of her dog). One of a Kind #3, and 1 coat of  Halloween 2.0 over Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Grape Race.  This is a horrible pic I apologize.  I will try and get my actual camera shots uploaded this evening.



I have purchased more indie polish from Hit Polish then anyone else because I stumbled on it and her prices are reasonable, her customer service is top notch, she ships basically same day if possible, I like her selection and she's donates money to save lives of animals.

More Galaxy Quest.  I seriously love this color.  This is one coat over Sinful Colors Whipped and one coat of Seche Vite.

That's really pretty!! I hope to grab whatever she puts up for October. Its my birthday month and I am going to spoil myself with polishes. Not like I need anymore but hey, whatever!! Lol

Love that color

Did anyone get the Glitter Daze top coat & base coat minis in their boxes? I did and used them for a mani on Friday evening. Holy cow!!! Completely chip free until yesterday and that was only on one finger because I donated blood and the bandage they used on my finger pulled some of the polish off. Hardly ANY tip wear either!! I now have another chip on another finger but I pretty much went 5 full days of weekend/working without a flaw in my mani. My left hand is just now starting to show tip wear and my right hand only has chips on two fingers, but they're not even that bad. I'm impressed!!
