Indie Month - The rest!

Hi everyone!
I am disappointed in myself that i hadn't gotten these up sooner and now have run out of days to fit them in. Not to worry because you get a spam of pics to look at today as i will fit them all in here lol

First up is the second Elevation Polish i was sent to review.


Toubkal.












Toubkal is an awesome dark vampy red toned purple with hints of red and gold irregular shaped shimmer. I'm not usually a vampy colour sort of person but i really loved this! I now have to tuck it away for next winter now lol. This applied very well and in two easy coats. No top coat was added.

This polish along with M'Goun which i reviewed earlier this month is available in her shop soon. Lulu restocks her shop on the 7th of every month but as far as i am aware has taken a little holiday and will be back in November.

I have the second polish from Peita's Polish. 

Mermaid Tetris.









Mermaid Tetris is an awesome mix of purple & green square & purple micro hex glitters suspended in a clear base. In the bottle it looks so jam packed but once i put it on my nails, i was happy with the amout of glitter. I layer only one coat of MT over white. No top coat was added as in the pic below i ended up matte-ifing it. 




 This is available from Peita's Etsy shop now. She ships from Australia to anywhere in the world. She handmixes her polishes and uses stainless steel balls all the time.

This is from another Aussie, Kate Collins.

Night Swimming.












Night swimming is a beautiful dark indigo blue with aqua/turqouise glitter with holo sparkles. This applied well and was an easy one coater. Such a beautiful colour.
This is available from her Etsy store now. Unfortunately for alot of you, she only ships within Australia.

Last but definitely not least, is F4.

Pink Penquin.








Pink Penquin is an awesome mix of black and white matte micro hex and medium sized pink matte hex's all suspended in a clear base. I am truely in love with this polish and I think i am in love with the combination i came up with. I layered one coat of PP over one coat of FingerPaints Choco Mint. No topcoat was added but it definitely needs a coat. 


F4 polishes can be purchased off their Etsy store. Their polishes are handmixed and 3-free. They also use stainless steel mixing balls.

So that was all of this months Indie polishes. I really had fun reviewing everyones polishes. 
Please all stay tuned because tomorrow kicks off the awesome giveaway for some of these polishes and more. I am also starting a halloween challenge for the month of October as well. 

Take care!

Indie Month - Elevation Polish McGoun

Hi everyone!

Today i have the second post for Indie Month! Yay!
The awesome Lulu from Elevation Polish & I dig Brown nail polish sent me two (of the four) upcoming polishes from her new collection called "Morocco" Like always her polishes are named after mountains, so obviously with this collection, each polish is named after mountains in Morocco. I love that she has a theme to her brand and has stuck with it through out.

I have the polish "M'Goun" to show you today.




Two coats, no base colour. Seche Vite top coat.


 M'Goun has a sandy micro hex glitter suspended in clear. This is very unique. As soon as i saw this, i knew i'd love it. Top picture is two coats alone with one coat of seche vite.

Below i have layered two coats of M'Goun over a nude polish. This has no topcoat. The texture when dried is amazing. It is definitely like i have just dipped my wet polish into sand haha. Is it weird that i like the feeling??


Sun, nude base colour, two coats of M'Goun, no topcoat.

 With the texture of this polish being a bit rough, you need to probably use two coats of top coat. Below i have only used one. I used Seche Vite.
Unfortunately the forumula with this was very thick. I actually used thinner to thin it down a bit to make it manageable. I still really love the polish but that was a bit of a let down. Hopefully Lulu can control this before her collection comes out.


Sun, Nude base colour, two coats of M'Goun, one coat of SV.


Shade, Nude base colour, two coats of M'Goun, one coat of SV

This is due for release in October, I believe around the 7th? She restocks her shop on the 7th of every month. They retail for $8-$10 USD. She ships worldwide. All her polishes are hand mixed and at least 3-free (some are 5-free), she also uses stainless steel mixing balls with all her polishes.
At this time, she doesn't have a facebook page but you can check her and her shops here:
