PrettyPots -

 PrettyPots polish was new to me. But seeing swatches of Orange Chiffon made me jump on the PrettyPots train! A stunning coral with holo linear sparkle godness!

And can we have a moment of drooling over the packaging!? How flipping kool is that?!

So.Flipping.kool!!

 Goes on like a dream, only takes two coats to get a good coverage, smooth and problemfree.

 Slight green shimmer, see? I have such a crush on contrasting shimmer. This polish is way more complex than my cam can capture sadly.

 Hard to capture the holo effect but take a closer look at that pinky!! Wooo!

Kool thing with this polish is that is has a holo effect even when it's not in direct sunlight. Thats bad ass.


I will mos def buy more from this brand, after all I am an addict, right?

Indigo Bananas again!

Got 3 more of the kick ass indie brand Indigo Bananas. There just blow my mind and are so unique and kool.

And with that said, very hard to capture on photo. Grrr.
It is what it is, addicts! But trust me, these really do need a place in your collection.
Will post the first two now.

First one is  Rez,  it's a grey & black glitter, purple duochrome base. It's a stunner. Looks like granit indoors but flashes green and lillac when light hits it. In the sun or in direct light this has the most amazing duochrome green and lillac....and the texture almost makes me want to call it a textured polish. This is badass with no top coat too. I did use one coat of HK but that didnt do it any favours, so I used my normal SV on top. Gives it a 3D-effect really. Applies lovely, go in with a thik first coat, let dry and then a medium second coat. Thats all you need for total coverage. So flipping kool!

Shitty bottle shoot. Deal.

See how it shifts? Gah.

The silver glitter makes it so galaxy like.

Strong green shift.

Next is  Enchante - red & black jelly - this GLOWS blue in the dark! I had forgotten that this is a glow in the dark polish until I did this post actually. Cant wait to go to bed now. Hah. This is a very bright red jelly with black glitter. I used 3 coats in the pics and that is more than enough. The black glitter gives it some depth too. So squishy and fun! Like a strawberry smoothy or jam. The glitter applies perfect, no dabbing needed really. Give it a little time before the second coat. I am really loving this one.

Squishy!

I know you just want to bite my fingers, they look so jummy. o_O

Super kool in your face red.

You can get your hands on these via Indigo Bananas and they cost $6 for small and $10 for full size bottle.

Chaos & Crocodiles - Pi R Squared

Chaos & Crocodiles is new indie brand in my collection, Pi R Squared is a fun glitter topper containing large round glitters, smaller ones and tiny shimmer in a clear base. The glitter is both holo and metallic. Swatches over Nicole By OPI - Vitamin Plus.

It's just a kool polish really, perfect for pimping up a boring mani or adding some LSD to a muted down base color.

This is a polish that needs fishing, no problem getting the glitter on the nail but the larger round ones are a tad more elusive. Use the dabbing method to get the glitter even. No taco what so ever! Flat as can be once on.

The brush is good, I find this has too much base polish actually and I might try to get some if it out to thicken the polish up a tad.

I used Gelous over this and topped it off with HK top coat.. Hardly any texture once dry.

Can be bought over at Norway Nails, via Chaos & Crocodiles web site and retailers.

Indigo Bananas - You Get Nothing!

Another kick ass creation from Indigo Bananas.
You Get Nothing! is a dark, stone grey linear holo, with blue & dark red glitter. This looks kool in the bottle but freaking amazing on the nails.

You Get Nothing! is a dream to apply, smooth, evens out nicely and no need for fishing. 2-3 coats is needed depending on your preference. I have 3 on for the pics. I did use Seche Vite as top coat and can't see any dulling of the holo effect.

Truly unique.

Been wearing this for 3 days and only have slight tip wear. Wear time is great.
When applying this, do think coats and wait a little between them to let the glitter set. I added one coat of SV and I can't feel any texture.

Blurry to show off holo goodness.

I really cant rave enough about this brand. If I had to compare her polishes it would have to be Nerd Lacquer. This brand has some of that same unusual color combinations and interesting design ideas.
I really see Indigo Bananas being a bright star on the indie heaven. Hopefully she won't be torn down by all the catty psychos in this community. It's nail polish girls. Chillpill!

You Get Nothing! the mini contains 8ml and costs 68 nok. they are all 3free Shipping is 40,- for the first polish and then 10,- for the added ones after that.

So kool.

Lacquistry - Amazeballs

Woha.

Polish pr0n!

This is Amazeballs by Lacquistry an indie brand, and trust me it's AMAZEBALLS!
Not a glitter, but a kind of foil flakie that covers perfectly in 2-3 coats, leaving a super smooth surfice with no texture what so ever. So metallic you can see your self in your finger nails. 

Truly a stunning creation!

The pics shows 3 coats (cuz thats how I roll) and 1 coat of Seche Vite.Super easy to work with, no drag, and no fishing needed. Brush is super soft and the polish is simply a delight. 
My tips is to ad a thin first coat, let it dry a little, and then add a second slightly thicker coat. Wait a minute or two before adding top coat. 

You need this. Period.
Costs $21.50 (95 kr + shipping 40kr)
 

Liquid Sky Lacquer - Party All Night

Short post as I am not feeling well.

Liquid Sky Lacquer is another new indie brand to me, a pretty nice multi glitter in a dusty, murky brown'ish base.
The quality is very nice, the brush is easy to work with and the glitter levels so smoothly.

 Not the most top coat hungry glitter either, thats a good thing.

 I applied one coat over Nails Inc Golden Green, and thats a good match. Any Peridot dupe will do.

ignore dry cuticles.

 The glitter varies in size and texture, but the holo effect is very strong. In the sun this is pretty magical.

 Blurry pic to show holo goodness.

Really a rather unique polish, because of the base. This will suit any dark polish really, but I would recommend colors that compliments the base, and not as dark as black. Black will look kool too, but some of the depth will be missing.

You can buy this from Norway Nails. Use SVARTEBLOGGEN10 for 10% off.

Lynnderella - Evermore and Attitude adjust - Mint.

 Lots of pics in the post!
Norway Nails actually carry Lynns. These two are my first, and I have mixed feelings. Read on!

 Attitude Adjust - Mint is a pale pastel mint mint translucent base with pastel toned glitter. This needs undies and I am wearing two coats over a dusty mint polish. It is as you can see really stunning. The quality of the polish is good, the glitter applies evenly and dries nice and flat. The only downside is that this kind of glitter tends to look like dents in certain angles. Besides that, this is really, really lovely.  Soft, sophisticated and sexy.

 In this angle you see what I mean with the glitter looking like dents in the polish. Still stunning.

 Close up and personal.

 Next up is Nevermore. And as the Poe-lover I am, the name is perfect. The idea of the polish, the combo of glitter it self, is really kool. The clear base has multi colored micro glitter and makes the polish really interesting. The black glitter comes in more shapes than I can pin point. Hearts, squares, bares, shredded, round, hex....and more.

 I had a hard time getting good pics of this polish. The thing is: The glitter needs alot of fishing, and with fishing comes more base product onto the nail making the result rather lumpy and uneven.
I have tried it over several different colors, using different tecniques, and my best result is shown over the pale mint polish. Fishing, pulling the brush along side of the bottle opening, dragging off as much base product as you can, then using the dabbing tecnique, pluss dry time between coats. That gives me the best result. One coat with no fishing/dabbing will give you base, and hardly any glitter.

 Close up!

 Big round black glitter - all the rave these days.

 Over a neon green:

 Trying to show off the holo glitter here:

Bling!

You can buy Lynnderella from Norway Nails, and her shop on Ebay. They do not come cheap. Are they worth the hype, price and work it takes to get your hands on some? In my opinion: There are so many really good indies on the marked, they are less expencive and easy to come buy and certainly there is less drama. I am a serious collector and I am thrilled I now have two Lynns. I dont give a shit about the bitching.  Unless you are hardcore like me, you can get similar polish for less. Do you want to complete your collection, you do need at least one Lynn.
