Indie Polish Lovers

And another indie polish is gone forever.  GlitterDaze is closing shop.  Not much remaining but it's 15% off with code GOODBYE if anyone wants to look.  It always makes me sad when that happens.

Awww, that was my first indie nail polish sub. What a shame.

I am trying to put myself on a low/no buy but it's not working out so well.  Not only did I buy Dance Legend The Knight which is my number one on my want list but I snagged 4 KB Shimmer polishes on Colores de Carol's blog sale.  Three are from the Misfits collection and one is completely discontinued.  I couldn't resist.  I am as much a collector as I am a polish addict and I already have 2 of the Misfits polishes and the desire to "complete" that collection took over.  I bought Cheerleader, The Peach Pit, Debbie Does Denim and White Noise.

Aw, sad. Thanks for letting us know. I ordered Loyal.

WOW.  So apparently it was an April Fool's joke.  That's messed up like a soup sandwich.  I don't think it was funny one single bit.  I get April Fool's jokes like Zoya's subscription box or Scrangie's new trends for polish including invisible nails but this is just stupid.  I won't be ordering anything from Glitter Daze again.  Why do a "joke" two days ahead of time?  Not sure how you ladies feel about it especially you Sleepy since you just ordered something.  I just think it's hella tacky.

Edit: So the newsletter update says they did it to help clear the way for the redesign that's coming and there will be a discount code LOVEYOU when that happens to give a discount on the new stuff.  I still think it was mean and tacky and I probably won't buy anything from them but I appreciate the explanation at least.

Rainbow Honey is doing another mystery box for April, and apparently it's going to be a sub going forward.  You can get a mini mystery box for $10 or full size for $25.  It looks like it's going on sale today at 2:00 EST today.

Not sure how I feel about that.  They're not my favorite indie polish, and the few that I had from them went to swap boxes.  I think I still have one that I kept, but yeah, two days ahead of time is pushing the joke a bit.

I can see myself subbing to this instead of Julep. I've gotten all of their mystery bags so far and have loved every single one. IIRC the February Mystery bag had a mini of Poffin Party, Sparkling Agave, a pot of their nail art glitter, and a sample rollerball of the Sakura Matsuri perfume.

They're adding new and upcoming things in the mystery bag to try, which I love, and makes me feel valued as a customer. (I already love their polish, but the bags make me love them even more.)

Apparently they are offering refunds due to so many people being really mad.  People are complaining they were tricked into buying something.  Ouch!

So not funny. I forgot I was still subbed to their list and got the "gotcha" email. I'm now no longer subbed to their email list and won't be ordering from them in the future.

Wow...this might come back to bite them in the butt.

I wasn't angry, but I do think it was in poor taste and thoughtless. I replied to their apology e-mail and asked to cancel my order. They refunded me literally within a couple minutes of me sending the e-mail.

I hope that the coming discount code will be worth more than 15%. Did they say when they expect the redesign?

A few weeks.

Awhile back I bought a back up to How I Troll by Polish TBH since it was my favorite thermal.  I got it in the mail and immediately stuck it in a drawer with the rest of my back ups and that was that.  Today I happened to go in there looking for something else and when I set it on the desk I noticed how pink it was.  I don't know if my original bottle was ever that bright. (I honestly don't think it was.  I am going to go back through my photos to find out)  So I put it next to my first bottle and WOW there is a huge difference.



Left is obviously the newer bottle, right is my original bottle. 

Does anyone know if UV polishes loose their changing ability?

Wow, that really is a big difference!

For what it's worth, Del Sol has this statement on all of their nail polish pages: "WOW Guarantee: All Del Sol products are guaranteed to change colors in the sun for the life of the product, through normal use. Wash and dry it as many times as you'd like! (Follow specific washing instructions on product labels." 

I also checked Ruby Wing's website, since they're the other UV polish manufacturer I know of, and couldn't find anything about a life span guarantee either way.

Man you are selling me on the Del Sol!!!  I only ask because I feel like unless I buy minis I won't be investing in any more changing polishes for awhile but I love my Dance Legend UV one so I was curious.

Haha, that's the one and only one that I've tried so far, since I was able to hit a good sale + coupon code and get 4 polishes for about $17! I love the one I've tried, but I've been in hibernation over the winter and haven't used my others since I wasn't getting out into the sun. I forgot that Dance Legend has some! I've heard good things about Ruby Wing as well, but haven't tried them yet (and definitely can't justify purchasing more polish right now).

I think it's likely more the disclaimer that when you order indie polishes, there are variations in batches due to supply and the fact that they're usually hand blended.

Any good sales? I need a pick me up...got some news I was not expecting today and my husband is out of town, so it's retail therapy to the rescue.
