Indie Review: Amy's Nail Boutique!

Hello, my lovelies!

I have another indie to share with you today, Amy’s Nail Boutique. Amy recently released a HUGE line of gorgeous linear holos and I had to get a couple. Boy, am I glad I did! Of course I got the copper and red, but she has yellow, greens, blues, purples – the whole color spectrum!

The formulas on both were smooth and easy, with tons of holo sparkle. There wasn’t much sun the days I wore these, but I still managed to get a decent holo shot indoors. The bottles are a fun shape, and come with these adorable little charms with different expressions on them. All photos are shown three thin coats with no top coat.

Indie review: Chirality Nail Polish!

Hello, my lovelies!

Today I have for you another wonderful little indie polish called Chirality Nail Polish. I forget how I heard about these but I liked what I saw in other reviews so I picked up a few during a Black Friday sale (I think). So I decided to try them out and see what I had!

Across the board, the formulas were lovely and shown here in 3 coats, no top coat. Very smooth and easy to apply. All of these are medium-strength linear holographics, as you’ll see! Unfortunately, there was no sun the day I did these, and we all know it takes sunlight to truly bring out holo beauty.

Indie Review: ATC Fallen Angel Collection!

Hello, my lovelies!

Today I have a couple of hot new polishes to share. These babies have been lighting up the indie world for the last couple of weeks and I’ve got them! From Above The Curve’s Fallen Angel Collection, I’ve got Risen and Fallen Angel! I managed to catch these during a recent sale before they sold out. There are several more polishes in this collection, and you might just want them all.

Indie review: Mentality Nail Polish!

Hello, my lovelies! 

Do you like the new graphics? January weather is always so dark and dreary and cold and nasty that I decided to make some pretty snowy graphics for the blog. These were inspired by my friend Mary (not guest blogger Mary, a different Mary!) who is fabulously talented and makes beautiful graphics.. Mine isn’t as pretty as hers was but it’ll do! Then I added some icicles and cool purply blues to the header graphic as well, because I loathe the cold and never feel like I get warm during winter!

Indie Review: Pretty & Polished!

Hello, my lovelies!

Today I have something for special for you! I am very pleased to be able to show you a couple of the soon-to-be released “Save the Dauphine” collection by Pretty & Polished!

This of course, is a reference to Marie Antoinette, who inspired a whole line of beautiful polishes. 

Indie Review - Literary Lacquers!

Hello, my lovelies!

Today’s fabulousness is indie brand Literary Lacquers! Anyone who talks to me for about oh, 5 minutes, realizes in probably less than that I’m a big book nerd. HUGE. And I’m not referring to my height. I’m referring to my tendency to hideout for days on ends, surrounded by books, lost in other worlds, usually involving magic, fantasy, werewolves, witches and vampires, sometimes mysteries, and ignoring the real world. Even as a child, despite playing several sports and enjoying them, I frequently had my nose in a book. And because I inherited my father’s speed reading ability, my parents got many phone calls from irate teachers that I was reading in class. (You’d think that since I finished the assigned work this wouldn’t be a problem, but that’s another conversation).

But I digress. The point is, I love books. One room in my house is called the library and it’s devoted to books. My shelves are full and there are piles of books on the carpet. (Granted, one bookcase is dedicated to photos of family and friends, and I did surrender one bookcase to Mr. Enchanted when he moved in). There are books on the dining room table, in the entry way, the bedroom-everywhere.

Indie review: LynBDesigns!

Hello, my lovelies!

Today I have another fantastic indie to share! Today I’m featuring LynBDesigns! I caught these beauties on one of her $5 sales recently and had to share them with you. These are the first few polishes of what I expect to be many more! I've got lots of pics to show you, so get ready!

It's Rainbow Honey time!

Hello, my lovelies!

Today I have a perfect fall polish to show off (technically, it’s still fall for another week or so!) 

Today’s beauty is Rainbow Honey Hoof Wrassle. I laughed when I first heard the name. Having spent a fair chunk of my youth in the deep South, I find the term “wrassle” to be highly amusing. The color though, I swoon over. It’s orange, and gold, and coppery and just screams me. Warning, lots of pics!

Indie Review: Above The Curve!

Hello, my lovelies!

Today I have a new-to-me indie to show off, Above The Curve! I was tickled pink to be chosen as one of the bloggers to show off part of their new Narnia line! Yes, a Narnia line! 

But first,  want to tell you a little about Above The Curve, because they have an awesome cause behind their shop! 

Indie Review: More Tipsy Turvy Nails!

Hello, my lovelies!

I hope you like the new clothes on the blog that I made. I decided for December it needed something festive and holiday themed. And while it might be December, today I’m showing off a couple of beautiful polishes from a Halloween collection!

These are from one of my favorite indie polish makers, Tipsy Turvy Nails! 

Indie Review: Smitten Polish!

Hello, my lovelies!

It’s a cold day here in DC and it’s time to show off SmittenPolish! Smitten is another wonderful indie that I’m in love with! I got these a while back but I’ve been a bit behind lately. I did catch her Cyber Monday sale for a couple more pretties, so I’m waiting for those.

I’ve got lots of pics to show you, so here we go. Warning, pic heavy! All formulas were very smooth and applied super easily.

Indie Review: Different Dimension holiday line!

Hello, my lovelies! Today I have another indie holiday line review. It’s my favorite indie brand, Different Dimension! I was so excited to be picked as one of the bloggers to review her holiday line, the Santa Baby collection! 

Missi sent me 4 of the holiday polishes and they are gorgeous. This post is VERY pic heavy, so be warned!  Let’s get right to it, because this post is already a week later that I wanted!

Indie Review: Pretty & Polished Holiday polishes!

Hello, my lovelies! It seems like it’s been simply ages since I’ve had time to do a post! Well, two weeks, really, which to me, is simply ages. But between traveling and work, I just haven’t had time. My blog is still pink from October but I love pink and the way it looks and what it represents so I'm going to leave it for a while a longer!  But going so long without a post has been driving me crazy because I have a couple of indie Christmas/Holiday lines to review for you, and I had fully intended to start posting these last week!

Today, I have two of Pretty and Polished's 2012 Holiday line! I was lucky enough to be selected as one of the bloggers to get in on this, which is so exciting to me! Let’s get to the pretties! Warning! Pic heavy!

Indie Review: Tipsy Turvy Nails!

Hello, my lovelies!

It’s another beautiful fall day in DC! Today I have for you a review of Tipsy Turvy Nail polish.

 

Tipsy Turvy Nails just opened in September of this year, and I happened to wander across them. They had some lovely colors up so I thought I’d give them a try. I love finding new indie polish makers and trying them out!

I ordered two polishes, Aurora Borealis and Coppernicus. As of this review, Tipsy Turvy has a notice in their store of a special for bloggers wishing to review their products. Visit their Etsy store for more details. Both polishes arrived within a week, no super long turnaround. Now, let’s get to these lovely polishes!

Warning- VERY pic heavy!
