Indie Polish Lovers

[NittanyLionGRRL]

Hitpolish is 3-Free. Our base is 3-FREE which means it does not contain the Toxic Trio of chemicals: Toluene, Formaldehyde and Dibutyl Phthalate. Our base is made specifically to suspend glitter therefore it is thick. Then we add A LOT of glitter so our polishes tend to be a bit on the thick side. Simply shake well before applying and if thickness is still an issue add a few drops of nail polish thinner and your set!

Most companies even indies are going this route.  I don't think I have ever purchased from an indie maker that wasn't.

Thanks ladies! I used to go to a website that sells a bunch of brands and I know I have seen it listed here before. My only problem was that with most polishes it would not include that information. I will have to do more research!

Same here! I actually thought most of them were 3 or even 5 free!

I know brands I own like KB Shimmer, Hit Polish, Glitter Daze (is 5 free), and Jindie Nails all are.  Most put that right on the main page or in the "About" section.

Pretty B*tch Polish lists her ingredients on her facebook page. She is 5 free. (And some of her names are really funny if your not offended by vulgar things and her polish is beautiful!)

Sadly quite a few of her polishes are sold out, but she's restocking them soon!

No worries.  I don't need to spend any more money even though there are discontinued polish sales galore.  Polish TBH just listed one.  I need a second job for real!

Damn it!  I caved.  Going to go to bank tonight to deposit my loose change.  I bought another thermal from Polish TBH

I love Polish TBH's Chocolate Frog polish! I think I need it and while I'm there might as well pick up a few of her sale polishes

Has anyone bought a DIY nail polish kit? I seen a few on etsy & I really want to try making my own polish. I think it would be so fun! But no clue how to begin other than just buy the kit.

Not yet.  I want to SOOO bad.  Told my boyfriend I am starting my own line.  I need to stop buying other people's indies and make my own.

Thank you @smiletorismile , I always get a good laugh out of vulgar nail polish names. I don't like when they try to be all"mysterious". What's the fun of saying "this polish I am wearing is Midnight smo"g when I can say "check it out, I am wearing slut-bag today". I hope I don't have to censor that word. Forgive me I am German so add a few ***s wherever you like.

Lol no problem! I wasn't sure, so I thought I'd post a warning!

I would so wear a polish called slut-bag!

My Polish Addict mystery box came!! We have just gotten home from vacation, so I'm not sure when it came. But here are my pretties!!

The colors are Riddle Me This, Lipstick & Shades, Black Tie Parade, Tutti Frutti, and Brain Freeze. I also got a few extra goodies:

I ordered two minis, A Vampire's Kiss and Green Goblin, a glow in the dark top coat. And because I am a member of the Polish Addicts FB group, I got two extra full size polishes, Chillin' in Autumn and a special birthday polish because I'm an October birthday. I also got a small Bag with candy and gum (that my fiancée & I already ate) and a Halloween themed nail file and some small nail art items for Halloween.

I am thinking of getting Lipsticks & Shades.  Love your box this month!

Thanks, I love it too!! Is anyone else signing up for the Secret Santa for Nails?? I can't wait to buy polish for someone, my fiancée is very tolerant of my stash, but I like talking to women who share my addiction!!

 

[NittanyLionGRRL]

I'm thinking of signing up for the Secret Santa. I just need to get a few more posts. It would be fun to try some more Indies. I really have only gotten a ton of HitPolish so far. I really want to try a Thermal next. Any suggestions!? Also - I hope everyone saw the Halloween Zoya promo today. I got Purity for 50-cents, which will be the perfect undie for some of my Hit Polish glitter toppers!
