Recently I have been OBSESSING over indie nail polish, I don't know why it took me so long, probably because I was too lazy to set up my paypal account. Needless to say, even though I am going on vacation soon and normally would be buying clothes with my spending money, I have only bought nail polish for the last month. Its
bad really good. The first brand and nail polish I want to review is KBshimmer- now, I really like this brand and the variety of colors they have, but I learned a lesson, and that lesson is READ ABOUT THE POLISH before you buy it. Don't let your eyes do all of the shopping! More about that later though...

So far I have bought from two indie brands, Lush Laquer, and KBshimmer. This post will be about a few of my KBshimmer polishes. Kbshimmer has a lot of awesome glitters and different things that, like almost any other indie polish, you cannot and will not find in stores. What I like the best about the indie trend is the mixing of color and glitter, it is such a unique and interesting thing. I have also seen great indie brands that specialize in glitters with a clear base, and those are also amazing.

The first polish I bought from them was the Dancing Green, which is a bright kelly green polish filled with hot pink, purple, green and small silver glitter. My terrible photos DO NOT do this polish justice, it is just so beautiful.
The second I bought was Totally Tubular, which is a beautiful teal-blue color filled with purple, silver, blue and hot pink glitter. Very similar to dancing green, in that it is bright and eye catching. Both of these polishes remind me of that unique glitter mixed with color look that I wanted to try so bad. I will try to swatch this polish this week as I FORGOT to take a photo.
They are awesome.

I also bought Sugar Plum Fairy, which is a purple polish filled with green, hot pink and very tiny metallic blue glitter. I really like this polish also, it is not as bold as the las two polishes, but it is very beautiful, especially in the sun.

KBshimmer was squared away, which is a clear glitter polish with tons of different colored square glitter. It has purple, silver two or three shades of blue and hot pink glitter. When I was looking on the website, they had jelly-sandwiched it in some purple jelly polish and it was beautiful, so I was disappointed at first when I got this because I didn't intend to buy a clear based glitter polish. However, I realize now that this is an awesome polish that I can do both jelly sandwich and top coat with, so I'm happy. The application of all the polishes is great and they shipped out immediately, overall I am very impressed and wish I could buy more :( after vacation!
My favorite photo of the Dancing Gren is on the left, me holding onto my morning commute by drooling at my nails is my life...
All of these polishes and many more can be found on Etsy.com. I found a lot of great brands just by googling "indie nail polish", I found tons of bloggers who mention various different shops that are up and running, the best part about buying indie for me is that I know its going to an actual person who is working for themselves. Plus they are so beautiful and unique :)
