Indie Polish Lovers

[MissLindaJean]

Dragon and St. George. I almost bought Sleeping Palace last week but it I decided that it was too dark for this season so I decided to get others polishes. Princess Tears looks beautiful.

I posted in the polish you're wearing today thread, but here's a pic of it in direct sunlight, no top coat yet.

I don't spend a lot of money per polish, since I search out deals and blog sales. My current indie collection (not including a few others that I've tried that I ended up putting up for trade because they weren't quite my personality; I haven't had any bad polishes yet):

Oooh - I'm jealous of your Emily De Molly! Does anyone know if you can ship polish from Australia to the US? My bestie lives in Australia and I would love to own a few of Emily de Molly's.

Technically, no, but my Max Factor Fantasy Fire collection (FIVE bottles) demonstrates that Customs doesn't confiscate everything.

Yes, but customs can pull it. I know piCture poLiSh or however they spell it is Aussie based and ships internationally. Llarowe is going to restock EDM tomorrow. Check her FB for release times and you can try at the drop. I'm falling hard I'm love with indies, but it adds up fast. I'm going to have to limit myself and budget to accumulate more lol. Blog sales and swaps, here I come!

Lol, 5! Awesone, I've got one, but don't use it a lot because it's so small. . I'm afraid I'll use it all and be grasping for more!

I'm lusting after Enchanted Polish soooo bad, but haven't been able to get one yet. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

A England is another favorite of mine, I'm in love with Polished by KPT's thermals (which can be hard to get at times as her restocks sell out fast), Liquid Sky Lacquer is becoming a favorite as well. I have too many to list, but those are some of my favorites.

EP is having a restock and launch on the 30th direct on their site! Try there. . I'm going to, and almost had May 2013, but my PayPal crashed when checking out! My gosh, I had an eyegasm seeing two FB buddies in nail groups post their EP collections!

That is exciting news. Thank you for the heads up.

 

[AtomicBunny]

I'm thinking about placing an order with indigo banana. Does anyone have any of her polishes? I'm thinking about getting "spectrafied" to spruce up my current collection, "Fiery the angels fell" & "Twice as bright".

You would run a very high risk of it being confiscated and/or destroyed. You may wish to check blog sales or stockists (like Llarowe or shoppe-eclectic.co) instead.

 

[LyndaV]

Don't forget there are other stockists too that you can get these polishes from...MeiMei Signatures in Singapore and  Harlow and Co in Canada both ship to the US and are reasonable.  They often have stock that Llarowe doesn't have and vice versa.  They also have exclusive polishes made for them by the big guys like Enchanted Polished made Freckles for MeiMei.

Just doing my part to encourage the indie fever...

 

[MissLindaJean]

I've been MIA thanks to working 6 nights out of the last week and 12 hr shifts at that. Luckily, I managed to snag this EP In the Nude in Enchanted's site direct in the wee hours of Sunday morning! Not the best swatch, but it wasn't that sunny out. A beautiful nudish pink holo! I've been hearing whispers that this may be an LE and not available ever again. .crazy!

 

[Souly]

I was very bad and I blame all you!! 2 orders @ Llaowe's, 1 order @ Overall Beauty and hit up 3 blog sales. Yikes! I will share when all my goodies come.

[LyndaV]

Souly's got the INDIE FEVER!! The last few weeks I've been hitting up the blog sales too. My poor credit card. I got the original charcoal holo OPI My Private Jet which is so gorgeous it makes my knees weak (ok not Indie but still pretty), Darling Diva Oh No She Didn't, Emily de Molly Cosmic Forces and Fifth Element, Sonnetarium Lenten Rose, and Windestine Androgynous.... Now I'm no buy

Oh, so would it be bad if I mentioned that KBShimmer currently has minis for a limited time for $4.50, while supplies last? And they have a few full-size that are reduced to $5.00 because they are being discontinued.

I ordered: Mini Iris My Case Mini Oh Splat!™ Mini No Whine Left Mini Elle Mini The Dancing Green Mini Don’t Teal Anyone Mini Totally Tubular Mini It’s Razz-ical
