Indie Polish Lovers

For Black Sheep subscription, how can you set preferences? It says you can request things like no yellow. Do you just email in? Thanks!

I just emailed in when I first subscribed, and I got a quick "thanks!" response back from Erin - so I think that's the way to go!

I think I am going to put my computer in another room so I can't search anything on my breaks.  I placed an order for Reptar thanks to this thread as well as trying my first Glam Polish since some of them are being discontinued.  I decided on Fraggle Rock.  I loved the series as a kid and who doesn't love a light teal crelly.  Reviews I saw said the formula is pretty awesome.  My only other teal one is KB Shimmer Totally Tubular and that is almost neon.  I am hoping that I can get a few more before they are gone.  The Despicable Me line is still avail and priced a few dollars higher at $10.00 where this one was only $8.00.  I need Fairy Princess Gru!!

IT IS!  I liked it when I Googled it after you bought it then after I saw your swatches I was sold!!!!  Plus it was $5.00.  Mad at myself for not getting it during the sale at Color4Nails but I can live with that price.

I originally planned on ordering the Love, Angeline Pass Me the Sweethearts polish but I forgot the preorder ended 01/12

She said it's only going up $2 starting next month. I can live with that. Unfortunately, we just bought me a car, so I have to wait for a bit to get any new sub boxes.

Polish Addict adding mystery box for $20 permanently.  I think I am going to have to get in on that one of these months!

Just announced it on her Facebook.

I had an "ah-ha" moment tonight I wanted to share.. maybe it's more of a "derp" moment...

In my winning package from LLarowe before Christmas one of the polishes I got that I was most excited for was The Lando System.  I put it on Dec 19th and immediately hated it.  I took it off in favor of Cult Nails Let Me Fly which I got as part of a ninja Santa present.  I didn't think much about it until I swatched it again on my middle finger when I was showing possible wedding nail ideas for Pollysmom a few days ago.  I never tried to put any kind of top coat on it.  I have Nail Pattern Boldness in Glitter Food which I used almost all of on fixing glitters.  I bought a few items from Sally Beauty tonight including Gelous.  Holy holographic Jesus did that make the polish just come alive.  I can't believe I took it off after only a few minutes!!  I feel like such a dork.

Just may have spent all my money on non indie orders and I forgot about the huge Polish Me Silly launch tomorrow... I missed out on the one LLarowe shade I wanted and with all her problems I would rather just wait until her new site is done.  There is so much drama that comes with that.  I saw there was like a mini Facebook dis made by Mentality in light of that.  I thought that was pretty lame.  Makes me think twice about throwing my money at them but damn the polish is freaking amazing and it's a great price with free US shipping.  Maybe I won't stay mad long!

Hare Polish added to A-Indied box...  I didn't realize it was also offered on a one time basis.  Someday soon I might get in on that...

Also... very nervous/excited my Button Masher Lacquers will be here tomorrow.  If one of them is what I think it will be you ladies might be spending some money.  I am literally bursting with anticipation over it. Time to do the pee pee dance!

I usually stay away from the madness of restocks and I usually don't pay full price for polish. However...I caved hard and went for the Colors by Llarowe restock since they ended up doing it on bigcartel and not their web site. It was easy. I refreshed the page several times to get Good Golly Miss Molly (people put in their cart while they decide, but then empty it or their cart times out), but that was the full extent of any hassle. No crashing or issues for me. I ordered Burnt Sugar, Dirty Diana, Good Golly Miss Molly, and Let's Tango Baby. Overpriced, irresistible, juicy holos and a holo multichrome. Free shipping, though. I blame the unspeakable beauty of online swatches. Sources:

Ooooh I can't wait to see them when you get them. I wanted OABTRAD or whatever it was called. I need a good pink holo. In the past 24 hrs I've ordered 12 polishes! Trying to be good but its so hard... Those are all super beautiful... Want a Colors by LLarowe bad... Just didn't see any I had to have...

Alright, who has a recommendation for a good pink holo for @ChristaW? (One that's still available.) What kind, girl--light, medium, dark?

If I had to pick I'd say medium to dark. I think it would be more wearable for me.

 

[Christa W]

Want one that's pretty strong too
