Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Gold Crush Duo

Indie Polish Wednesday, August 27, 2014
When I think of decadence, my first thought is gold, silver and an incredible shine. If it doesn't sparkle, it certainly doesn't fit the category. The idea behind the Gold Crush Duo was to create a true gold duo that exemplifies every sense of luxury. I think Dave did a wonderful job doing just that. The duo consists of Gold Vibrations; a gold...

Conjured Polish Bioshock Collection Part 2

Indie Polish Tuesday, August 26, 2014
If you missed my introduction and part one of the collection you can find it here. On to part two! Songbird Songbird is a black jelly with red, orange and green glitter. The formula suspended glitter nicely without being too thick. I found that three coats provided a nice amount of coverage, but you could certainly add a forth for more depth. Polishes...

Conjured Polish Bioshock Collection Part 1

Indie Polish Monday, August 25, 2014
I don't geek out too often over things like some other bloggers do. When I found out that Amanda of Conjured Polish was creating a Bioshock inspired collection I was over the moon! I spent a good portion of the summer after my sophomore year in college getting acquainted with the original Bioshock game. I first got into the survival horror fps genre...

Flowers and Dots featuring Mentality, Painted Polish & Zoya

Indie Polish Friday, August 22, 2014
Good afternoon! Sorry for the delay with today's post. One of my two kitties underwent major surgery and needs to be watched 24/7 for the next few weeks. I usually have at least a weeks worth of posts pre-scheduled, but with all of the vet visits I got a little behind. First off, let's take a moment to appreciate Painted Polish's Love In...

Rainbow Honey Twin Mani with The Stepmom Chronicles

Indie Polish Wednesday, August 20, 2014
My dear friend Kendahl of The Stepmom Chronicles spoiled me with Rainbow Honey Watermelon Fizz. Kendahl got herself the same color, so I insisted that we do a twin mani. I love doing twin manis because it's fun to realize that someone else is wearing the same color. Check out Kendahl's mani here. Watermelon Fizz is a neon pink jelly jam packed with...

Indie Polish Monday, August 18, 2014
Hey guys! I hope you are all having a great Monday. It's been a fairly busy week for me, so I just wanted to share a couple stamped manis I did. If you are looking for a review of this collection you can find them here and here. This is Canary Cavalcade stamped over Flamingo Fanfare using Pueen 23. It's a little faint,...

Finger Lickin' Lacquer Washed Out Part 2

Indie Polish Friday, August 15, 2014
If you missed part one you can find it here. The second half of the Washed Out collection is just as lovely as the first! I would like to reiterate that all of the formulas were pleasant to work with, and have a similar consistency to OPI Sheer Tints. While OPI Sheer Tints tend to get goopy, the Washed Out collection maintains a...

Finger Lickin' Lacquer Washed Out Part 1

Indie Polish Wednesday, August 13, 2014
I hope you guys love Finger Lickin' Lacquer as much as I do! I have her brand new bleached neon collection to share with you. I feel like each collection she releases is even better than the last.  Instead of sounding like a broken record, I decided to discuss the formulas all at once. The consistency of all six formulas are the same....

Chloe & Bella Part 2

Indie Polish Tuesday, August 12, 2014
Here's part two of the review. If you missed part one, you can find it here. Pink Silk Pink Silk is a light pink holo. Pictured above is four coats with no base color. The formula itself was easy to work with, but I would have liked it to be a little more pigmented. When removing this color I had issues with staining....
