Press Sample of the Talk Indie To Me Box | March 2019 Tomorrow the Talk Indie To Me Box for March 2019 will be available… and it’s possibly my favorite of the 3 I’ve done so far. It’s also a wonderful release date because… it’s my birthday! This month Ethereal Lacquer is joining Zombie Claw and Nailed It Nail Polish! The theme is Chick Flicks and Chill!

Fancy Gloss Assorted Swatches

Press Sample of Fancy GlossAssorted Swatches Tonight I have some random shades to share, and it isn’t a collection – so I was at a loss for what to name the post. We’re going with Fancy Gloss Assorted Swatches! Fancy Gloss sent over 8 different polishes for me to check out and photograph. I do own a few of her polishes already – and if you are into thermals, you are in for a treat. 5 of the 8 shades I received are thermals and 2 are holographic and 1 is Multichrome. I believe all 8 of these are currently available in the shop since she recently restocked. Let’s jump right in! Fancy Gloss | Beach Glass Beach Glass is a green leaning teal scattered holographic with violet to gold to green to red flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos. This is a…
