Why does this site exist, and why did I now know about it until now? I want No Moar Dots for similar reasons, being a former CoH player turned GW2 and still searching for the perfect MMO.

They just had a major culling of the shadows (and some blushes and lip products), apparently to get ready for a whole lot of new stuff. I'm sitting on a PayPal balance just *waiting* for the new collections. I'm hoping for _Walking Dead_, _Welcome to Night Vale_ (the Glow Cloud!), and _Labyrinth_. And _The Goonies_. And _The Lost Boys_. And the dark side of fairy tales.

Two coats were perfect.  Plenty of glitter no drag.  It was cold in my office so application was in a red/pink color.  I can't say enough about how quickly this transitions and how accurately it picks up the shift in temperatures.  When I held my chin with my hands editing my pictures I looked over and that hand was all white but the and that was on the mouse was almost all red due to how cold it was in my office.  I guess it takes little to amuse me but still.  Incredible.  All photos are without a top coat (way too eager to snap pics and besides I kind of like it a little bumpy).



Warm in the Florida hot afternoon.



What it looks like mostly indoors in every room except the really cold ones.



I though this one was neat, transitioning from cold to hot outside before it became all white.



Mostly cold.  I have yet to get my hands super cold (because who wants to do that???)  but when I do I will snap a shot of that too.

Did I mention how much I freaking LOVE this polish?
That is beautiful! I need to get a couple thermal polishes

Thank you ladies!  What is so funny is I find myself watching my fingers as I am doing different tasks to see what they change.  I was preparing dinner and I had washed my hands so they were all white but when I touched the cold chicken breast to season it all the tips and half the thumb went red.  I walk around with my hands out in each room seeing where they get the coldest or warmest.  It's so fun but I may walk into something!!!!  Also it dried incredibly fast especially with no top coat as the formula is a bit thick.  This polish actually reminds me of the nose on one of my kitties, when she's mad it's white almost clear then when she's happy it goes bright pink.  This is way more fun than any nail polish should be. 

Finally went completely cold chopping tomatoes.

OMG! I wanna try a thermal polish. How cool!

 

[wrkreads]

I've never tried a thermal because I figured it would always be one colour without the cool transition since I have no tips, but all these pictures look awesome and make me want to try one!

I wish I hadn't waited so long myself.  Before this got here I had ordered another thermal by another indie brand so I am anxious to compare the two.  That one is white and teal.  It's really crazy how much and how often the transition happens.  I decided I wasn't going to play in water and would let them change naturally.  When I ventured out to the store tonight, I don't have AC in my car so they went white and pretty much stayed that way.  However I am a huge fan of white crellies anyway so I really really love it all ways.  When I first saw the bottle shots it reminded me of Bryers chocolate chip mint ice cream which is white with large rectangle chunks of chocolate.  Upon further review, there is so much glitter packed in here both matte and sparkly that it's nothing like what I thought it would be.  It's SOOO much better.  It reminds me now of Ghirardelli peppermint bark which makes it all the more awesome in my opinion.  Despite being a Halloween themed polish, I will rock this bad boy all year!!  I am seriously considering buying a back up bottle I love it that much.

This is a major shot in the dark, but I am getting into swap boxes lately and was wondering if anyone would have any interest in an indie polish swap box, just for indies. I always have the hardest time parting with my indies, even the ones that aren't working out for me, and thought this might be a way.

I would love this but again I would never part with the ones I already have.  I would have to specifically buy just for this!!!

You are so lucky you like all your indies.  I am super picky with buying but sometimes it just isn't possible to be sure online how it's going to look on you, at least for me :/ I have at least 3 I should part with, and a few more that I could bear to.

I think it's just my hoarder mentality.  I have one indie I absolutely loathe but all the drama I went through getting it, I will hold onto it as a reminder of what not to do!!!  I hope in the near future I can start buying collections as a whole and then trading them off.  What polishes do you have that you don't like out of curiosity?  And what ones are you looking for in case I happen to grab any in hopes of a future indie swap box?

I am not looking for anything specific- in terms of nail color I sort of 'know it when I see it' /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The 3 I want rid of are Laquer lust 'Galaxy Glam', Lush Laquer 'Gumballs' and Hare Polish 'Return to Nature'. All are fine colors and fine formulas, and the Hare in particular I REALLY wish worked for me but it doesn't :/

Wow Galaxy Glam is gorgeous.  You are making me want to come up with stuff to put in for a swap!!!  I don't have much indie polish yet outside of my massive amounts of Hit Polish and hopefully when things get back on track here financially I will be able to expand my horizons even further.  Other than textured polishes I am bored with the main stream offerings and wish they would match the level of the indie polish companies although I think I am getting polished out.  Too many holos, crellies that look like frosting, and massive glitter bombs.  I think by now I want so much more out of polish especially at the price tag I have been paying lately for indies.

Those are all super pretty! Especially the Hare Polish one. Sadly I don't have a lot of indie polishes. I have a few minis from Hit Polish, a couple from Rainbow Honey, and a couple of other ones. I'd be interested in doing an indie swap box, but I'd probably be more into like buying a polish for someone and trading that way, since I don't have too many.

Awesome!!

I hate not having money.  Polish addict clearance bottles full size for $5.00.  I am dying for 3 of them.  Hope they are still there on Friday!!  I had to say no freaking way on buying enough KB Shimmer to get the free Halloween polish.

That is so cool. I don't have any thermal polishes yet.

Today it's looking a little pink.  Love this look too!!!  I must have regulated the temperature in here pretty well.  I shut the AC vents /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And with topcoat.  I promise no more pictures of this polish.

I am dying to try a Thermal Polish now, too. How fun! That would make winter more exciting.
