Indie Polish Lovers

How pretty! I wouldn't know which to try first. I was an October Birthday as well. Nice treat!

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 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!
I actually emailed Rachel at Hit Polish and asked her about her possibly making some thermals and she said she would not be /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I just ordered How I Troll that's a pink to almost clear thermal from Polish TBH it's discontinued, I paid 8.00 plus shipping.  I have the teal one from her and one from Glitter Daze.  I just saw Starilly who's polishes are insanely gorgeous has a sale today with code 5off gets you $5.00 off and her stuff is like $10.00.  I have never tried her but it looks sick!!!  There are a few color changing polishes in her line!.

Also hurry up and get your posts in girl!!!

Here are pics of my recent Hit Polish haul! I love them!



From left to right: She's a Glamazon, Thankful, and Sweet Potato Souffle. 



She's a Glamazon is pink and silver and gold. I love that this one has some stars and crescent moons in it! Thankful is brown, orange and yellow glitter. It is a bunch of different shapes (bar, hex, and some yellow flower glitter!) Sweet Potato Souffle is probably my favorite out of the two Thanksgiving polishes. It is brown, black, orange, and white, but it really reminds me of some of my family's traditions so I love it alot!

I have a problem. I just bought another mystery box from Darling Diva polish. It's their 5 for 25 deal, and I used a code to get 25% off, so only $24.75 shipped. I am using the excuse that any I don't want will go to my Secret Santa for nails person, but yeah, who am I kidding???

Is the code still active and will you share?

CLEANHOUSE ... She said on her FB page an hour ago that it's good through tomorrow.

Thank you! I have a BIG problem--I ordered two! $46.00 with shipping, so $4.60 per polish including shipping. I ordered one of her grab bags before and was thrilled with it. I have been buying a lot of polish lately...I think my self-imposed dry spell got to me and I seem to be making up for it.

There are so many wonderful options.  It all depends on what you are looking for.  I chose KB Shimmer What's Your Damage as my first because I had started to see swatches everywhere of it and it just completely stood out to me that I had never seen anything so beautiful in my entire life.  It literally nagged at me until I bought it.  You should Google indie polishes, there are tons of blog lists where you can just start clicking on brands and seeing what they have to offer.  Also looking back through this thread might help seeing swatches.  Another great option is to check out Llarowe or Harlowe & Co so you can see a lot of them in one place.  Oh or start searching Etsy.  The Holiday collection by KB Shimmer is to die for and might not be a bad place to start.  Her formula is fantastic.

 

[PinkSunsets218]

Oh okay thank you, I already have a account on Etsy so I'll definitely search on there. I'll try Google as well and see what they have to offer too. There's so many different brands out there but it couldn't hurt to try searching for things. Thanks for you're help! =)

Anytime.  That's why I am here!  I bought my first one because of this thread and 35 full size and 50 20 mini's later I am still purchasing tons of indie polishes although my wallet thinks I should spend less my heart says MORE MORE MORE!!!  Some brands are better if you are searching for a good holographic, some make better glitter bombs, etc.  We all look forward to seeing what you get.  I would also check sales.  Currently Polish Addict nail color (on Big Cartel) has some discontinued stuff for $5.00 per bottle which is a good price.  I also ended up entering a few contest via Facebook and ended up having to "like" a bunch of brands to get entries.  That has been invaluable as I get to see swatches and sales.  I forgot to mention that earlier.  Now my feed is completely polish related and it's more about my own shopping needs.. but I really enjoy seeing all the pretties!  That's better than my high school best friend's incessant rantings about making pot legal.... LOL.

Yep. This introduced me REALLY quick to indie brands! My feed on fb and instagram are all indie polishes. And I drool, then I like the photo! haha.

This thread also helped me a lot! I went through the entire thread haha. I've only bought from like 3 indie companies so far but I now follow so many and there are a lot I'm dying to try!

I'm actually going to attempt growing out my nails & hopefully swatch polishes for my blog!

Squeeee... F.U.N. Lacquer has the prettiest thermal coming out next month.

Must.  Have.  This.

Says full set on there wondering if that means there will be more thermals.  Her last collection was the holographic princess collection. Dear God PLEASE let there be a whole line of them!!!  Of course I hope it's available after I get some Christmas cash because there is NO way I will have it otherwise.
