OK what's it supposed to do LOL?  I just checked all my polishes under black light and was super surprised by some of them but I didn't notice Kindness do anything.

Kindness is in the Black Light Holo collection, a black multicrome stamping polish and is the sister to Charity from the White Light Holos. It is a black crelly holographic nail polish that changes colors. It is called black light because it is a black crelly I believe.

Oops! I believe that @theexxception is right. 

What polishes stood out under black light, though? I need more black lights in my life...

The ones that stood out for me the most that I guess I wasn't expecting were

Laquerlicious V-Day=D-Day, No Tricks Just Treats, Glam Polish Fraggle Rock, Kerplunk and the biggest for me was KB Shimmer U Rock My <3.  I know KB Shimmers often do glow under black light and I should have known from What's Your Damage but this thing literally lit up my hand!!

Here's another neat shot of U Rock My <3

A few weeks ago, I got a few polishes during a sale from a relatively new indie brand, Squishy Face Polish. Shipping was prompt (ordered Friday afternoon, got a tracking number that night, and actually shipped on Monday), and they were packaged well. I was surprised to actually receive a box for two polishes; I'm used to padded envelopes! 

I finally put one on - this is Vivacious Violet. It's a gorgeous blue scattered holo - the picture makes it look like it leans more teal than it really does. 



It has a good formula and went on easily; this is two coats. It dried a little bumpy and not as shiny as I'd like, but nothing that a coat of topcoat couldn't easily fix. Now just to make sure that it passes the wear test!

I also picked up Milky Way, but I haven't used it yet. Based on my nail stick swatch, that color is somewhat sheer, but has a stronger linear holo effect and the bottle shot on the website is fairly true-to-color. I'm definitely curious to try out more of her stuff!

WOW! My Mentality package from my sale order early today already shipped - USPS is showing acceptance of the package. I ordered enough bottles to get bumped up to Priority Mail, so they're supposed to get across the country (CA to VA) and delivered on Thursday!

I can't believe how fast those got sent out!!!  I fully expected the same type of delay that you did!!!

I am hoping to get both of my replacement thermal polishes soon.  Neither gave me an official tracking number but I hope they are on the way.  My Mentality order as well as my flash sale splurge from Dashing Housewife are on the way too.  I love nail mail!!!

I am also really excited that my boyfriend may be buying me a new camera for my birthday next week.  I picked out the one I really wanted which is an entry level DSLR but most importantly is I chose a good macro lens.  He knows how much my nail pictures mean to me and I think I have him sold on spending the extra money to get me something I will love.  If that happens you guys are getting straight up macros of every single indie polish I own!!!!

I caved because of this thread and finally bought KBShimmer's Oh Splat! I have had my eye on it for years but haven't ventured out of my OPI/Essie comfort zone. Seeing all these AMAZING nail polishes in this thread have encouraged me to branch out. I cannot wait for this polish!

I am hoping that my replacement thermal is with my Dashing Housewife.  I was so impressed by the crelly that I NEED this thermal to be fixed!  I love the polish color non thermal anyway so if it doesn't work, I will deal but I am so stinking excited that it might work that I can't focus on anything else!!!

My nails are dying to be painted!!

Also is it terrible that nail mail is my favorite part of the day???

I hope it works out then. It's such a let down when things like this happen so I feel your pain. The worst part is waiting to see if the replacement actually works as intended. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Of course it's not a bad thing. Anyone who doesn't get excited by receiving things in the mail has something wrong with them. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If it doesn't I am swearing off thermals!!! LOL.  My first one from October is faded already (they are supposed to last about a year) and I emailed them this morning asking if that was supposed to happen.  It sucks paying more to get a thermal and having it be rendered useless 6 months and is frustrating. 

Top swatch is from October and bottom is this morning.  That's the cold natural state.  I plan on doing my nails with it again to see if it will go red maybe with excessive cold (ie.. in the freezer) but I am still annoyed nonetheless.  I loved this polish.
