My Very First Indie Polish

Today I have another link up with some great nail bloggers! We're going to be telling you all about our first Indie polishes. All of the other "First Indie" blogs are linked below - make sure you check them out! If you don't know what an Indie polish is - it is a polish that is made by an independent maker, not a large corporation. I really enjoy Indie polishes because of the direct interaction with the makers, the unique polishes and the excellent customer service that typically comes with buying Indie.

Emily de Molly Oceanic Forces and Turbulence

Today I have a couple of polishes that I have had for such a long time but have never tried them out. I'm really trying to get better at that! I have so many I've never used and I need to get to them. But today I have two Emily de Molly polishes to show you.

Turbulence (L), Oceanic Forces (R)

KBShimmer Belle of the Mall

First of all, I apologize for the lack of a post yesterday. Some sort of virus is going around our house and my three year old and I both have it. Luckily, we are feeling somewhat better today! Now, on to this pretty polish! I have KBShimmer Belle of the Mall to show you today. This is definitely not a Winter polish, but sometimes you just need to use a color that will brighten up your day!

CDB Lacquer Holiday 2014 Collection picks

Today I have my picks from the CDB Lacquer Holiday 2014 collection to show you. I have three polishes to show you. First of all, I wanted to show you how they were packaged when they came to me.

Rainbow Honey Waves and Shark Attack

Today I have a manicure using Rainbow Honey Waves and Shark Attack. First of all, how well do the names of these polishes go together?! That was not an intentional part of my pairing these two colors together, just a happy coincidence.

Waves (L) Shark Attack (R)

Shark Attack (L) Waves (R)

Both of these polishes are from Rainbow Honey's Summer collection called Summer Mixtape. They are both currently available here. I used one coat of Waves, which is a turquoise colored shimmer polish, as the base of this look. The coverage and formula were good. Then I used one coat of Shark Attack on all of my nails.  Shark Attack is a blue jelly polish with a ton of glitter in it. There are silver holographic triangles (to represent shark fins), dark blue and light blue small hexes, light blue, dark blue and red shimmer and light blue medium sized squares. No issues on the formula of this one either, I had no trouble getting any of the glitter out of the bottle,  I used one coat of HK Girl to seal everything in.

If you are interested in Rainbow Honey's polishes, you should check their site out this weekend. They just added several new polishes, a new limited edition duo for December, and their Mystery Bags are great! I've never been disappointed with the Mystery Bags and should have a review of December's bag up as soon as I get it,  If you order now through December 1st, 2014 use the code BLACKFRIDAY20 to get 20% off the polishes, The code does not work on full sets of polish or promotional prices (the Mystery Bags are excluded from this discount, but are a great value on their own. You can check out a review I did on November's bag here if you missed it,) If you pick anything up, or have tried Rainbow Honey before, please let me know! 

Watercolor Manicure

Today I have a Watercolor Manicure to show you. I think the first place I saw this technique used was on Nouveau Cheap's blog.  I will link that post here. If you don't follow her blog, you should! She is all about drugstore makeup, nail polish and deals.  I highly recommend you check her out.

KBShimmer Jack

Happy Halloween!! The last Halloween manicure I have for you this week is a simple one but oh so pretty.  It is KBShimmer Jack.  This polish is a black jelly base with orange metallic hexes, tiny bars and microglitter. There are also black shard glitters in here as well. It is limited edition but as of right now it is still available here.

Pretty in Pink

I have a pretty pink manicure on today.  This is my first time doing a technique called a jelly sandwich manicure.  It is a base color with a glitter "sandwiched"  in the middle and then a sheer polish on the top.
