Indie: Aqua Daisy

Argh. End of Term-itis is catching up with me. So much work to do, so little time to do anything in. I'll be spending my two weeks of holiday getting ready for parent teacher conferences and writing a billion reports. At least I'll be able to sleep in!

And now on to sparkly polishes!

Aqua daisy is a fabulous seller on etsy. Her holo polishes have received a lot of love and for good reason...they are stunning! I tend to steer towards sparkly glitters and I bought these gorgeous polishes.

Watermelon Splash

Watermelon Splash is my new favourite jelly red black glitter polish. I was thinking 'if only i had a red jelly with black and green glitter in it' for ANZAC day... and now I have the perfect polish! Much more interesting than Nerd Lacquer Warrior Ethos. And check out the pretty holo sparkles.... and it's a pinky toned red. Nom nom!

Beauty School Dropout

Beauty School Dropout is another pink black and white polish. It has a pretty pearly sheen and holo sparkles. Unfortunately my sun was turned off and i didn't get the sparkles in :(.

Purple Heart

Drool! Seriously look at the richness of the jelly of Purple Heart... the glitter perfectly caught in the layers...I'm in love.

You're a Firework

You're a Firework is insanely pigmented. The top picture is only one coat. The next two pictures show two coats. You're a Firework has holo hexes and a few bars as well as red hexes. Rather patriotic!

Paris Sparkles

Paris Sparkles has a fabulous range of polishes available on etsy. I haven't seen too much love for Paris Sparkles in nail polish land but these polishes deserve some love.

I was a little dubious to order from Paris Sparkles because I hadn't seen many swatches and the polishes always seemed to be in stock. Always being in stock is awesome, but very different to the usual indie polish madness. I'm so glad I purchased these polishes because Paris Sparkles is awesome. The quality of the 7 polishes I purchased was fab and the colours were pretty darn awesome. The only down side to Paris Sparkles is the range of polishes available...it's so hard to choose which to buy next! I want more Paris Sparkles glitters.

Celery Stalker

 If you look closely you can see the smattering of holo goodness that Celery Stalker has. Amazingly this is a pastel green that looks good on me and a sprinkling of glitter never hurts!

Chrome

Mardi Gras

 I haven't managed to capture it but the shimmer in Mardi Gras is awesome.

Burst of Blue

 Whoah! this is one vibrant polish. There are larger hex glitters in the mix as well, but I didn't managed to grab one for my swatch.

Copper Sunset

 I need more Paris Sparkles glitters. Seriously Copper Sunset is amazing.

Election Day

Pink Speckled

Pink Speckled is the same idea as Celery Stalker just in pink, unfortunately my sun disappeared so you can't see the sprinkling of holo.

I have more of a voice today, but it's still coming and going. I plan to stay snuggled up and warm today. I have a few books I'd like to read and some Teen Mom episodes to catch up on.

Indie: Lush Lacquer

I am an etsy addict. I don't like all the indie polish drama...but omg I love indie polishes.

One indie polish that is fast becoming one of my absolute favourites is Lush Lacquer.
Lush Lacquers have an amazing range of glitter polishes. So far I've worn five of the polishes I bought and my class have loved them.

Today I have three to show off.

Birthday Cake

OMG. Birthday Cake is amazing. White shimmery base with so many glitters. I love the strings. I used three coats.

Slime Time over CG Gaga for Green

I tried Slime Time alone but it was a bit thick for me when I had to do three coats. Slime Time is how ever an awesome glitter topper. I think next time I'll wear it over a darker green... maybe CG Near Dark.

Spring Fling over CG Dance Baby

Spring Fling was another that could be built up but I decided to layer. Such a pretty shimmery pink with green! Awesome combo and very spring appropriate!

My favourite of the ones I purchased is Birthday Cake, it's just amazing in person.
