Indie Polish Lovers

[Christa W]

Just ordered my first Jindie Nails polish.  I picked up the pink LE Breast Cancer polish Hope that glows in the dark!!  I am telling myself it's OK to go over my limit because it's for a good cause.  Isn't that a valid reason?  I need a polish intervention seriously!!

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

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.

Thanks for the awesome swatches!

Here is my latest Hit Polish haul.  I grabbed 2 of the One of a Kind polishes this time since I missed out on the one I wanted last week.  This is #12 (black and red) and #15 (pink multi).  This is each 2 coats on the bare nail and 1 coat over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.  I first had grabbed the pink because other than the birthday polish I got last haul I have nothing pink from Hit Polish and I have been wanting a pink/purple glitter for awhile.  I never even saw the black and red until later I went back and was stopped in my tracks.  It looked like blood splatters.  I have only one red and black glitter that's similar and it's from the Bitz & Pieces China Glaze called Scattered & Tattered.  S&T for me doesn't spread well and the red isn't as stunning as this polish is.  I think the tiny silver bits just put it over the top for me.  I am in love with this.  I want to do a spooky Halloween mani with it later this month.

I got one other polish today.  This is Kb Shimmer Dew it Right from her Misfits polishes that never made it to be a permanent color.  There was some drama I read about the sale and the site crashed etc.  I bought a bottle that had been swatched once.  As always Kb Shimmer never fails to deliver amazing polish.  I used 3 thin coats.  I desperately want her fall collection and would love to try the matte finish polishes too.  I am including a picture of it under a black light too.

I placed another Hit Polish order today. And, I just got one last Friday. But, her prices are great. Shipping time is awesome. And, she has such great colors and combos. I went from having no football or fall colors to being set for the rest of the season. I am excited to use Blueberries and Cream for my Penn State mani next weekend. And, I'll finally be trying my Zoya blue pixie dust for my pedi. Yay!

Hi, everyone! I just ordered my first "indie" polish, minus stuff I've gotten from Super Black Lacquers.

I got Joss "In A Mermaid's Dream," plus some non-indie (Ruby Wing) stuff.

Since you all seem so knowledgeable, does anyone know where to get a non black light glow-in-the-dark nail polish? (The kind you would hold near a regular light source, then it glows when the lights are out.) Thanks!

Polish Addict Nail Color has a glow in the dark top coat... http://www.polishaddictnailcolor.com And I think she has some regular GITD polishes, too. I bought one of her mystery boxes a few months ago, I really like her stuff.

Awesome! Thanks so much! Her Green Goblin one is just what I've been looking for.

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 just saw swatches of this and it's amazing.  Apparently it's no longer available either /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  The name is a reference to a phrase from the original movie The Day the Earth Stood Still.  I know it from it's reference in the movie Army of Darkness.  I wanted it just for that reason alone.  Great haul!

Really?? Well, mystery solved for me then, thanks for the info!! I wish the pic was true to the color in the bottle, the polish is just amazing. I will post pics when I use it, it's my favorite from the grab bag.

Best part is I am still wearing it.  For me this is an eternity.  Other than one little piece of glitter that was too close to the nail edge broke off, I have had 0 chipping.  I can't keep an mani for more than 2 hours.  I did dishes, cleaned, cooked, cleaned outside, typing, etc and all I have is a little tip wear.  It's only been a day and a half I realize but color me impressed nonetheless.  Plus I am not bored with it yet which is even more of a huge deal for me!  Paycheck next time is going all to Christy @ KB Shimmer!! LOL
