I'm loving the soft, rich shades in this box! Each of them have really good formulas, apply smoothly and are shown in two coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Frozen Mountain Dawn
a warm beige crelly with pink shimmer, and scattered glitter in pink, gray, navy blue.

I love a good crelly and what could be better than a warm shade with pops of color sprinkled in?






Colores de Carol Peaceful
a soft blush pink with gold shimmer, holographic micro flakes and pink holo micro shreds.

Such a lovely shade, it reminds me of cherry blossom trees!






Quixotic Polish Storm Watch
a sultry, winter teal holographic embellished with blue/green and purple/red iridescent flakies and holo micro flakes

Rich, squishy jelly flake with depth!






Turtle Tootsie Polishes Blustery Day
a silver thermal polish, that has a subtle shift from a peach to gray, with gold holo flakies and golden shimmer.
I love the glints of shimmer from the gold flecks! Shown both thermal and not - the warm is peachy.

Fall Seasonal Indie box: 2018

Press Sample

The Fall Seasonal Indie box is hosted by Anchor & Heart Lacquer, Colores de Carol, and Turtle Tootsie Polishes and their guest this month is Lollipop Posse Lacquer. They've put together a beautiful quad of fall shades that you won't want to miss. The Pre-order time frame is what makes these limited editions.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Fuzzy Blue Gobbler
a matte formula in navy blue base with scattered holo, blue shimmer, and purple/blue/pink shifting iridescent flakies.
Two coats shown with not top coat (matte) and with top coat (glossy). No issues to report with formula.









Colores de Carol Spiced Apple Cider
holographic deep bordeaux red with iridescent orange flakes.
Two coats shown with topcoat, no issues to report. The perfect shade to represent fall leaves. Definitely a warmed up red, not quite pumpkin, but not red. Love colors like this that are right between two shades.






Lollipop Posse Lacquer Poisoned Caramel Apple
an olive-leaning apple green with two types of red/pink shifting Aurora shimmer and holographic silver flakies.
Two coats shown with topcoat, no issues to report. It has such a vibrant coppery shimmer in most lights.






Turtle Tootsie Polishes Get Me My Boots
a warm brown scattered holo cream base polish with aurora pigments, red shimmer, and gold flakies.
So chocolately, makes me want hot cooca! Two coats shown with topcoat, no issues to report.

Seasonal Indie Box: Summer Brights

Press Sample

The Seasonal Indie box for summer brings to us a super bright and fun collection! The creative minds behind the box are Turtle Tootsie Polishes, Colores de Carol, Anchor & Heart, and their guest Blush Lacquer.

Release: July 1st at noon eastern time
Stocked only at turtletootsiepolishes.com




Turtle Tootsie Polishes Feelin’ HOT HOT HOT
orange-red neon cream polish with gold shimmer and green/gold/fushcia chameleon flakies.

Not color accurate in photos!
This is bright neon orange. A good portion of fluorescent colors are out of gamut (for monitors and for photoshop) and generally cannot be photographed true to color because they require light to fluoresce. But trust me, this is traffic cone fluorescent orange. Two coats shown with topcoat.






Blush Lacquer Tropical Escape
a minty teal base with a strong pink shimmer that shifts orange (gold and green at extreme angles) and holo flakes.

I took a bottle shot in dim light to show the shimmer off since the bright lighting that I use for color accuracy tends to wash out shimmer somewhat. Shown is two coats with topcoat and again, I am going to mention my love for the brush! It is unique to Blush in the indie world and I can't recall having worn mainstreams with a brush like this. It's soft and shaped perfectly for precise polish application.







Anchor & Heart Summer Princess
a neon pink base with pink to gold shifting aurora pigment, orange/pink/gold shifting iridescent flakies, and pink, purple, and blue holo glitter in various small sizes.

Also, not color accurate!
It is fairly close in my photos but a bit more fluorescent in person. Shown is two coats with topcoat. If texture is bothersome to you, add another layer of topcoat to smooth it out.







Colores de Carol Cheers to the Summer
A light purple holographic with Aurora shimmer and green and purple metallic micro glitter.

Shown is two coats with topcoat. Formula was good and I love those tiny glitters!






If you're on the hunt for bright and beachy shades, look no further! The Seasonal Indie Box is a fantastic combination of colors perfect for summer.
