Indie by Patty Lopes

Press Samples from Indie by Patty Lopes Still playing some catch up with my blog. Next up I have a way overdue post to share, and it’s an assortment of polishes from Indie by Patty Lopes! Patty sent 10 polishes to try out, and I was honestly quite pleased with the application and formula of each one. We have some with sparkle, a couple thermals and some shifty shades. Let’s take a look! Indie by Patty Lopes | Ceremony Ceremony is a medium purple scattered holographic with silver holographic microglitters and ucc microflakes.

Sassy Pants Polish Autumnal Equinox Collection & Pick Your Poison Trio

Press Sample of the Sassy Pants PolishAutumnal Equinox Collection & Pick Your Poison Trio Boy it’s been one of those weeks! This weekend is supposed to calm down, so let’s keep our fingers crossed. I had Thursday and Friday off work, and cleaned out our entire office, built a new side table for photos and new lighting is arriving tomorrow… all because I got a new Christmas present (early I know!) Nick got me a new snazzy camera (Canon 80D) and I need more space to use it… and a tripod. It’s too heavy. So soon you’ll see new positioning for photos and all that. So our office is all different, and I didn’t even break a nail. This morning we’re going to take a look at the Sassy Pants Polish Autumnal Equinox Collection & Pick Your Poison Trio which is available now in the Sassy Pants Polish shop. The…

Press Sample of The Holo HookupNovember 2018 | Dragons Another month is here – and I have The Holo Hookup November 2018 to share tonight, and the theme is Dragons! As always, I’ll do a quick rundown for those new to The Holo Hookup! This is an all holographic box and each month it will have 3 constant indie makers in it – Glisten & Glow, DIFFERENT dimension and Cupcake Polish. The guest maker this month is Nvr Enuff! Each shade in the box has holographic elements of some sort in it. It may be scattered, linear, subtle or in your face, but an element of it is there. Some makers may incorporate other elements such as shimmer, glitter or flakes – but it will be in conjunction with holo. Let’s jump right in! Cupcake Polish | Drakon Drakon is a grape puprle linear holographic with green shimmer and green to blue to purple shifting…

Several makers are participating in the monthly customs and each brand has a theme they picked for themselves.
