Artsy Wednesday: Indie
Have I got a glitter bomb of a manicure for you guys!
One of my favorite things about Indie polishes is that they have such different looks to them than mainstream, big-brand polishes have. You couldn't get jewel-encrusted nails like this with just any polish! I used Julep's Amber as a quick base for this (mattes make for fabulous quick drying bases!), then a single layer of Hot Mess's Aquanet, with Hello Dolly by Pretty & Polished on the tips in a glitter gradient.
The mega-hexes of Aquanet make me inordinately happy, and the super-glittery lilac of Hello Dolly, coupled with the freshness of the matte white glitter is a thing of wonder and a joy forever :) I love indie polishes; you get to support small business, you get polishes that just don't exist in the mainstream market, and you get to have a great time combining them to make your very own fancy nail jewelery!
