Teal Indie Spam

Teal has always been one of my favourite polish colours. It was the colour that led me into this spiralling addiction so naturally when the indie trend came along, I couldn't resist snapping up all these teal beauties.



Here they are with their names.



Forgive me as I forgot to include Scofflaw Whiskey Tango Foxtrot in the group shot so it got its own individual shot.



Now for their close up shots! Before we proceed, I just want to lt you know that when I first started swatching my indies on swatch sticks, I initially painted the polish on the top side but after some rather unpleasant experience with the polish drying matte, I have now switched to painting the polish on the under side so if you see some of the close ups being grittier than the others, please don't freak out. I have marked the ones painted on the top side with a star behind its name so you'll know. 

This first one is Scofflaw Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Do you see it? HAHA, I absolutely LOVE the name. I like that it has a combination of both sqare and hex glitters. 



This next one is Hare Polish Bisbee. I first came across Hare Polish on tumblr, and I loved her creations from the get go. My bottle of Bisbee does have some tiny problems of taco glitter, perhaps due to the size of the large hexes, even though it's gone through the new formulation. Even so, I'm still very much in love with this baby.



This is Femme Fatale Consmetics Winter Hyacinth*. I have previously swatched Winter Hyacinth in a #SGSwatchFest post and there is no denying my feelings for this one. The white diamonds were such a breath of fresh air in a sea of indie glitters.



Alanna Renee Tranquil is everything its name suggests. It makes me feel so peaceful. Perhaps it's the colour combination of non colour-clashing glitters, nothing hugely contrasting. It's all just a picture of calm.



Similar to Tranqui, Emily de Molly Serenity also paints a picture of calm and peacefulness. This one is a little bit more lively with the copper glitters but still just as pretty.



Emily de Molly A Certain Shade of Green is amazing. It's very much a jelly with pale green, lilac and silver hexes. I like that the glitter isn't too dense, which give the polish a more minimalistic look.



Emily de Molly The Fifth Element* was one of the first few EdMs that first caught my eye. The red glitter makes this polish stand out. The only thing I would change about this polish would be to make it more jelly so the other glitters can shine through more.



This last one is Emily de Molly Majestic Flight*. The colour scheme reminds me of a peacock so the choice of name is seemingly apt. It's the darkest of the bunch but is still a beauty, no less.



I think I can probably do a pastel purple indie spam post soon too, looking at how I've been so inclined towards them. Till next time! 

Smitten Polish Mint Chip

Today I have an extra delicious polish to show you! Smitten Polish is a polish that resembles mint chocolate chip ice cream.

This is three coats of Mint Chip.



I have no idea why but I struggled with Mint Chip's formula. It isn't particularly thin or thick but it just applied streaky as seen by the bald patch on my ring finger. Adding a thick top coat (Seche Vite) did help  little though.



Application aside, I do love the concept of the nail polish. I don't even like eating mint chocolate screen ice cream but the dark brown hex with the tiny copper glitters swimming in a delicious mint base...HOLY BATMAN!



Here's a close up of Mint Chip in the bottle.



Loving this delicious baby! Till next time!

Rainbow Polish Taffy

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates. I've been more busy with work over the past couple of months and truth be told, my interest in painting my nails seemed to slowly dwindle. I was/am still buying polish but I just didn't have the great urge to paint my nails on such a regular basis. And when I did, I was just too lazy to edit the pictures and type a nice narrative on the polish. I did take pictures though so I'm hoping to slowly revive this blog during my upcoming break from work. I finally managed to apply for a week's of leave so fingers crossed!

I've gotta be honest. Taffy wasn't my first of pastel glitter polish. I originally wanted to get Happy Hands Motherboy but Happy Hands is really hard to get where I live so that's where Taffy comes in. Taffy has the same glitter colour combi - white, green, blue, purple and pink.

This is two thin coats of Taffy over three coats of OPI Bubble Bath. I LOVE how soft and delicate this combination looks. LOVELOVELOVE. This is one of the most work appropriate glitter polish I've ever seen.



I actually wore this over the Chinese New Year weekend and I got tons of compliments! I even had cousins asking where I got my nails done.



Best thing about this is that it worked so easily with all my different outfits! YAY for soft and pretty nails!



Here's a close up of Taffy in the bottle. I can't wait to wear this over more colours!


Till next time! :)
