Where do you girls buy indie polishes? Ebay? Because I googled Femme Fatale and discovered that they're Aussie-based and don't ship overseas?

Yeah, I saw these Tranzition pics. No, just no.

LLarowe, Overall Beauty, Ninja Polish and Harlow&co stock indie numbers. I never bought indie stuff from eBay.

eBay's for ChG!

Since NinjaPolish took over Floam from NailVentrous it's become much easier to get hold of. They've even turned Floam into a polish line. I got my hands on my Hannukah, Girly and Candy Cane floams yesterday. I'm kinda disappointed by Hannukah floam. The holo glitter really overpowers the gorgeous matte blue glitter. I like how sparkly it is, but I was hoping for it to be more about the matte glitter because that's what makes floams special. I was going to order Pinkerbell, but I caved in and got Hannukah instead because it's LE.

Hi there! Welcome!

Your little challenge is quite difficult! Too many nps... I also suffer from LE syndrome, meaning I tend to buy mainly LE products. PR and marketing teams: I'm suffering over here! You did something right!!!

Anyways, back to polishes.
BL: No more Waity Katie (if you use it over a lilac base coat, because it will never be true to bottle otherwise. But then, it's stunning!), Jack the Lad and Black Knight.
OPI: Uh-oh roll down the Window, A Roll in the Hague, Deutsch you want me Baby?

And because I'm perverse like that and like China Glaze better than Essie, here are my CG picks: He's going in Circles, For Audrey, Sea Spray.

I'd buy the BL set first because it offers the most colour variety: a purple with glitter, a reach jewel green and a black with glitter. Apparently I like CG for blues and greys and OPIs for reds.

Buick: Ohhhhhh, RBL! Niiiiiiiiiiiice!

So far, No More Waity Katie is the Butter London polish I like the least. This may be the only one that I actually dislike. I don't think I care for the style of glitter. I was trying to see how it would work with different purples in my stash to make me like it, but none of them seem quite right. I'll get hold of a lilac purple to see if that will change things for me.

I tried Essie's Merino Cool as a base and really liked the result. I also used two layers of top coat to make it smoother. Give it a try - it really can be a good polish!

I like a bunch of their other polishes, too. It's the type of glitter that I seem to like. Chunky and unique looking like Lippmann polishes. The stores listed offer US shipping. Oh. Dear.

Yes, they do seem to have some interesting glitters. I don't have any indie polishes but they sure look tooo tempting...

BTW I've been bad. Really bad

Goodies!!!

Baker Street is one of those polishes that's been on my radar for ages but I never got round to buying. I have to pull the trigger at some point.

More is coming? I'm intrigued...

My wallet hates me too.


Barry M polishes aren't bad at all (impression based on the three bottles I have). I wouldn't go out of my way to obtain them but they are pretty decent drugstore polishes.

Goodies!!!

I'm adding Merino Cool to my Essie to-buy list. It does look like the perfect color to pair with No More Waity Katie, but it's also a beautiful color on its own. A very pretty dusty lilac. I was thinking a purple grey color would work. I tried NARS Manosque and Chanel Paradoxal from my stash, but they're not grey enough and don't have the right purple tone.

I don't have any indie polishes either, and wouldn't know anything about them if it weren't for this thread. I can't wait to see the rest of the damage caused by your bad streak.

If you're looking for a perfect match I'm not sure Merino Cool will cut it.

Exhibit 1:



Smokin Hot - NMWK - Merino Cool

The flash made Merino Cool look much warmer than it is IRL (still learning how to use this pesky camera lol) but it's still nowhere near a close match. I think it would work beautifully as a base for NMWK, but not if you want the end result to be NMWK's bottle colour.


Aqua Lily, brought to you by my freshly filed down shorties. Pre cleanup

OK, so I'll use Merino Cool as a base, but what would be a good bottle color match? Your nails are so pretty!

I can't believe it took me almost all day to figure out what I wanted from Zoya. I finally placed my order and got free shipping. I opted for the 8oz Remove+ instead of th 32oz so I could squeeze in two more polishes. I hope they don't take long to ship because my current bottle is practically on fumes. Here's my haul.


  • Purity - I switched Snow White for Purity because reviews said it applied better.
  • Kara
  • Wednesday - I got this one since the coupon wouldn't let me get Neely.
  • Zuza - I think this will pair beautifully with Lippmann Mermaid's Dream

  • Neeka
  • 8oz Remove+

I can tell I'm already hooked.
