Show Me Your Indies! Featuring Stardust Polish, Part 1

Hello lovelies!
I have been obsessed with indie polishes lately. There are so many different color, glitter, texture and polish type variations in indie polishes than you could ever find in a department store or drugstore. For this post I'll be showing you polishes from one of my favorite indie lines, Stardust Polish.
First up is Razzleberry Rave. It is a gorgeous blue jelly loaded with blue and magenta glitter.


My camera had some difficulty catching all of the gorgeous holo and glitter in this polish. First pic is in sunlight and the following two are indoors. This polish reminds me of a blue raspberry Dum Dum lollipop!
Next up is Eat Me, my first thermal polish! I love the color of this when it is warm and the holo is just incredible! Eat Me transitions to a    when cold. Apparently I'm one of those people that run a little hotter so the color wouldn't transition naturally on my nails. I did try sticking my hand into a glass of ice water but I couldn't stand that very long, haha! I hear you have much better results if you hold an ice pack, so I'll be trying that next time!
Blue Lagoon is a bright blue shimmer that also glows in the dark!
The two polishes used for this mani are Blackbeard's Delight, a gorgeous black holo, and I'm Seeing Red, a squishy red jelly glitter. I fell in love with both of these polishes as soon as they went on my nails <3 !
Alright lovelies! That does it for post 1 of Show Me Your Indies feat. Stardust Polish! There will be a Post 2 as I have a few more of Drema's lovely creations to show you! If you'd like to check Stardust Polish out for yourself, maybe take a few home with you (you know you'll want to!) you can find them here: Stardust Polish
Do you own any of these lovelies yourself? What are your favorite indie brands? 
Until next time, xoKandy

Happy Fourth!

Hello lovelies!
Happy Fourth of July to those of you in the US, and happy Thursday to everyone else!
Can you guess what made up my mani today? Fireworks and glitter! On my pointer and pinky finger I have Rocket's Red Glare by Laquerlicious Unity. I love this gorgeous red glitter! Shown here in three coats. For my thumb, middle and ring fingers I used OPI's I saw... U Saw...We Saw...Warsaw(2 coats) , topped with Essie's matte top coat. To make the fireworks, I applied the glue with a thin tipped brush, then used a small spoon to sprinkle the glitter onto the glue. I used a softer brush to clear away the excess glitter...though I will admit I did blow some of the glitter into the air. It's oh so sparkly! :P 
I hope everyone has had a great day! I'm off to see some of those pretty lights in the sky!
