Indie Polish Lovers

[sldb]

In other polish sub news I got my Glitter Guilty box yesterday. Is anyone else still getting this one?? It's another of my favorites. My polishes are Hot for Teacher.

And Cupid's Crossbow.

She never disappoints, I love every box I've gotten.

I love the Glitter Guilty box too. One of my favorite subs!

I can't help but think how much this one reminds me of U Rock My <3 from the new KB Shimmer Valentine's Day trio.  That's not a bad thing by any means.  What shapes are the glitters?  I want to see this one on!!!

My Scofflaw shipped!  My Scofflaw shipped!  I can't wait!!

After being burned by a particular polish-sub-that-shall-not-be-named, I'm definitely hesitant to make any sort of long-term commitment to a box, too. The Pretty & Polished box probably (hopefully?) won't be as crazy in the future - there's a lot of excitement over the first box, and at least now they should have a baseline number for how many boxes they need each month. I'm glad for them that it was such a success, though - now hoping for a good box! I purchased their topcoat during their Black Friday sale, and I quite like it - it's one of my go-to topcoats right now, especially if I'm looking for a thicker topcoat. 

Christa, that is a lot of polishes!!! I think I have ~20 on their way to me right now, and I've been hitting Big Lots hard, too, so I can relate! So much pretty awesomeness, though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm going to have an AMAZING nail day on Thursday, assuming my flight home doesn't get cancelled/delayed due to the impending east coast storm. I'm supposed to receive my Llarowe grab bag and my Black Sheep Lacquer boxes (yes, boxes... Erin sent me out another one yesterday and talked to the post office, and my missing one from last week magically appeared in her WA sort center, too - I just shot her an e-mail to ask her what she'd like me to do with the spare!), and my Nailbox  and Julep orders should arrive tomorrow. Polish overload!

Hearts, hexes and squares. I can't wait to play with this one. My next few days are busy, so it'll probably be the weekend before I get a chance to do my nails again.

No rush!! I love that it has squares. One if my fav glitters has rectangular ones in it!!

Welcome! I think a lot of us just use paypal that way our purchases are protected. Warning to your wallet though : if you start know, you might not be able to stop LOL. Indie polishes are addicting!

Soooo I just bought a polish form Cinema Swatch Lacquer! She does movie collections, how fun! Anyway, she did 'The Notebook' so I snatched up 'Allie' which is a pretty light purple/lilac. I would've bought the whole collection but didn't want to pay $9 shipping, haha. Plus she doesn't really have any real swatch photos to tell if I really want those polishes or not. But I knew I at least wanted Allie.

What an interesting movie to choose.  Other than Love Actually collection, I can't think of any other romantic drama movie that I have seen inspire polish.  Of course, there are probably 500 brands I have never heard of before!!

Glad that you're here. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I've been into nail polish for over a year. Started out with Zoya and now I'm just Indie happy. It's hard to tell you where to start but I can give you some suggestions... Liquid Sky Lacquer, WingDust, Llarowe (land of indie polish galore), also Color4Nails is another indie land. Lots of different polishes from all over the world are in those two sites. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

Are you sure you don't mean "Welcome aHOARD?" /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Unfortunately I'm now on a budget!! So I'll have to pick and choose the ones I want carefully. :3 I'm sure you can all help with that though. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm well aware of the dangers. Haha. I'm definitely considering paypal as I can always buy the cards at my store. I've never done it before but I'm sure it can't be too much of a hassle. What a cute idea! She should do some for the movie Stranger Than Fiction! I'm coming up with awesome ideas for polish just thinking about it. -Drool-

I am so over the snow storms!  I am still affected by them and it drives me nuts!  I have an order pending for Amazon that is still in 'Preparing" because of the snowstorms.  My Zoya Awaken and Magic Pixie polishes didn't ship until YESTERDAY!!! because they were delayed in getting product to even make the polish and now my Scofflaw order and the My Online Shop orders are stuck in places where there is snow.  Mostly I think I am irritated because my company keeps closing sites due to inclement weather and my job sucks because I get stuck with all the calls and they cancelled my time off.  BOOOO!  I wanted to place an order today too but am second guessing myself not knowing when I will get anything.  At least maybe I will get some stuff from Color4Nails.  She's in Las Vegas and there hasn't been any shipping issues in the 3 orders I placed with her.  I really want some more Glam Polish.  I noticed on her site 1/2 of the Mayhem collection (Despicable Me 2) is gone.  I know that line isn't on clearance yet but they could have just sold out. I wanted Princess Gru or whatever the pink one was.

@sleepykat did you ever try out Kerplunk yet?

Whaaaat?! Your Zoya shipped?! I need to check if mine did. But yeah I am expecting shoes. It was in my state but rerouted to another state because of the weather. I'm like wtf sense does that make. Smh. I think you should woosa a bit though. Don't stress yourself out. Hopefully streets will clear out by tomorrow morning if not maybe you'll get your stuff Saturday or Monday.

Hehe, welcome aHOARD indeed!

Fortunately, I caught an early flight home and managed to beat the snow home yesterday... and came back to some epic nail mail!

Because USPS sucks and Erin is awesome, I got 2 Black Sheep Lacquer boxes this month that both arrived yesterday. I plan on giving a few away and sharing the Black Sheep awesomeness. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />



None of them have names on them, but here's what I've come up with... Left to right: Unnamed pink V-day scattered holo, mini Surf's Up, Lateralus (holo top coat), unnamed sheer pearl effect polish, mini of the unnamed pink polish, and Jump in the Fire (subtle thermal that goes from dark green to sheer gold).

I also received my Nailbox order full of indie-ish polishes that I got with an amazing deal!



From left to right: 2 bottles of Cult Nails Wicked Fast, Cult Nails Bitten, Cult Nails My Kind of Cool Aid, Face Stockholm Thea, Face Stockholm Strengthening Nutrient Nail, Sheswai Dig It, and Sheswai Ladylike



This is Face Stockholm's Thea - it's a gorgeous light-green holo. So much holo; I can't wait to wear it! 

I'm still waiting on my Llarowe grab bag order. It was supposed to arrive today, and the post office even claims that it's out for delivery. Somehow, I highly doubt that it's going to be delivered with the 18" of snow we have, though!
