Hello lovelies 🙂 I have a beautiful UK indie handmade polish to show you today from the lovely Jess (@claws4paws on instagram). There’s an ever-growing number of us UK indie makers – have a look at my UK Indie Nail Polish Makers page to see all of us! Jess is a lovely who’s brand is inspired by kitties 🙂 I’m a cat lover (and dog lover, before you ask!) myself, so I am endlessly browsing her FatPussPolish etsy shop! I love the cute labels too :).

I have a really nice glitter topper to show you today – this one is totally unique for me, I don’t have anything like this in my collection at all!

Soooo I failed a little – I missed yesterday’s blogmas post, sorry ladies! <3 I do have a gorgeous polish to show you today so hopefully it’s worth the wait.

In recent months my indie collection has had a bit of an explosive growth – little over a year ago I didn’t own a single indie but now I have a lot (oh god, there is actually so many I’m ashamed…). For those of you who don’t know, indie polish is ‘independent’ polish, usually either handmade or private labelled by an individual person. I myself am an ‘indie maker’ here in the UK, which I think gives me an appreciation for everything that goes into each bottle, so I am happy to support handmade! <3

Wing Dust is currently one of my favourite brands, every single collection holds several gems and it definitely inspires me too.

Hello lovelies! So, The Nail Arcade is midway through its week of being a pop-up UK indie polish e-shop, and I thought I’d show you the other gorgeous polish Rachel sent me to review 🙂 having just been hit by a hefty customs charge myself I feel the timing is apt, I just hope she still has some polishes in stock by Friday which is my payday! They’re selling out fast.

I’ve never tried a polish by Serum No 5 before so I was super excited to try it. They come in two sizes: 9ml (Rachel is selling these at £5.55) or 16.7ml (£9). Fame is a beautiful holographic topcoat, so basically you can paint it over any colour to turn it into a holographic-effect polish 🙂 you can use one coat for a more subtle holo effect, or build it up for stronger holographicness.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven’t posted in a little while. I’ve been doing something VERY exciting *hint* 🙂 so my free time, what little I have, has been mostly consumed by that. More news soon ;). A lovely polish friend of mine is also on an exciting polish venture: Rachel, who is the creator of the Winterberry Nail Art Kits I reviewed here, is opening an indie and international nail polish e-shop here in the UK! Yep – no more customs fees, steep shipping charges, fears of losing the polish to customs full stop… etc :). The shop is called ‘The Nail Arcade’. For more info on her shop and updates, click ‘like’ on The Nail Arcade Facebook page. Rachel has kindly sent me two lovely indies to review in the run up to her shop opening on 4th August. One of these is Smitten Polish The Ghost Of Jupiter 🙂

Hey everyone! Here is a polish I am in LOVE with. Happy Hands, a firm favourite indie brand of mine, and Polish Revolution have collaborated to create the ‘Project Badass’ collection, sold under the brand name ‘Happy Revolution’. TOO cool! The collection is apparently based around Always Sunny in Philadelphia. To be honest, I’ve never heard of it before, but I am loving this collection!

It took me a long while to narrow down my favourites (see the full Project Badass Collection), but finally I chose three. (Bloggers, do you ever find that when you’re linking to other sites you fall in love with all the ones you didn’t choose?!). I chose Kitten Mittens, Rum Ham, and Nightcrawlers… all of these are <33333.

SEE?!?! 😀
