They do.  I'm really liking them.  Finally!  An indie that isn't full of massive globs of glitter!

I'm really loving them too! I want to get some of the color changing polish!

Might just be we're sparkle freaks lol.

This.  Actually I think there is more non-glitter than glitter if you take time to do a thorough review of what's out there or at least an equal amount.  In addition to the holos, duos, and metallics, there are alo some polishes that have flecks of confetti or the like (not glitter) in them.

Wooo! I managed to get some more indies ladies! Super excited and can't wait for them to arrive. On a FB group in, several ladies do a ginormous grab bag of indies for a group of 10-12 people and 200+ polishes! Whenever my bix arrives, I'll be sharing pics of my pretties!

Yep! I'm super obsessed with these indies now, plus I feel good supporting some small businesses! It's partially your fault, lol, because I found this group through the one you recommended! Lol

It's a progressive addiction. When you have a lot of mainstream polishes, after a while it gets a little easier to resist them because you already have most of the finishes and shades that are available. Then you move on to the indies and the variety is so amazing that you start to justify the purchases by thinking, "I don't have any polish that looks anything like this!" I'm currently wanting a thermal (color-changing) polish.

Enabling Alert: Several of the Etsy shops are having specials this weekend because of the holiday, like free shipping or a percentage off.

Yep, this! I could use a handful more creams to expand my undies, as majority of my polishes are metallic, shimmery or chrome-y like, but indies have really interesting finishes and such a variety!

Thing is most polish bloggers seem to be ga-ga for glitter and holographics.  I rarely see indie cremes on blogs so I never bother to look at the seller's sites.  What's up all of you polish bloggers?!  Get on the indie cremes LOL.
