Indie Polish

Products provided for review.

The Indie Polish shop opened in October, is based in Canada and ships worldwide. Tanya asked if I would choose some polishes to review so I chose two and she sent four! And they are all full sized! Now if that doesn't show she takes pride in her product, I don't know what does. The polishes arrived packed snugly in a cute box.
Let's have a look!

Tanya describes all of these really well, so I'm going to use her descriptions for each.

"I ADORE ORANGE and you just don't see it enough! This is Sun Kissed Peach
It's a beautiful blend of tangerine pop mica with tiny gold holo glitter! Perfect to brighten up a cold day or on your next world wide trip to the tropics!"

I wore three coats over Sinful Colors Cloud 9. The polish was easy to apply and there was plenty of the glitter on the nail with each swipe of the brush.


"Joni is a blend of Blue Mica and equally blue glitter....it's STUNNING"

I wore three coats on its own, and while I can see vnl in the photos, I didn't see it in person. Its a really beautifully sparkly polish!


"KAboom (named by my son) is a unique polish in that it looks totally different depending on the light....sometimes it looks more purple and sometimes more fuschia. It is a mix of fuschia and plum micro fine glitters in our clear suspending base. WE LOVE IT! and hope you will too!"

I've saved my two favorites for last, and this is one of them! Its jam packed with glitter and super sparkly! I wore this over Sinful Shine's Most Sinful and stamped the accent nail with plate vl001 from Vivid Lacquer.


I added Hard Candy matte top coat and its just as stunning this way!

In my haste, I grabbed the wrong bottle for this photo, but that leads us to the next polish!

"Adoptable is a neat sheerer wine red (yes I know it looks purple) it's a deep, regal merlot red...with AMAZING electric blue glitter. This polish can easily be worn over an existing polish or built up to an opaque polish."

I used several coats (more than five) to reach opacity, as I wanted to keep this polish true to how it looks in the bottle. Its a super glossy jelly with very sparkly glitter. And, there is one bottle left at the sale price right now as I write this post entry!


Each polish was smooth and easy to apply, has cute handwritten labels and are made with love and care. Tanya's son often helps her design and name the polishes too!

Their polish is made in very small hand mixed batches (1 or 2 bottles of each size per color) using a 3-free base that is cruelty-free. They use pigments, micas and glitters locally sourced thru reputable suppliers and other etsy shops.

Model City Polish

Products provided for review.

Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We went to a Steakhouse we had not tried before and it was delicious! Speaking of, I have some delicious Model City Polishes to show you today!

Wanna Be Your Boyfriend is a black jelly packed with small teal dot glitter and smaller hex glitter. Even though its dark it was still squishy looking and the pop of teal against the black really has a nice contrast! I wore two coats for these photos.


Not hip to teal? How about hot pink instead?! Sheena is a Punk Rocker is similar to the above polish and I think they would look pretty neat alternated on with each other every other finger... or ooo what about jelly sandwiching them together? o.o I have to try that!


And if you'd rather do a monochrome, there's this one: Hey Ho, Let's Go! which is a black jelly with silver and holo hex and square glitter of different sizes. This and the two before it make up the Ramones inspired trio.


Who doesn't like PB&J sandwiches? The deep purple jelly base is filled with two different size holographic gold glitters so you can have an instant jelly sandwich without all the fuss. Easy Peasy!


Did you finish all of your sandwich? How about Cookies and Milk for dessert!? Made with a white base, this polish has two sizes of black hex glitter and brown glitter. Extra chocolate chips please! I wore two coats alone for these photos.


Dipping Chocolate is a gorgeous shade of brown packed with holographic goodness! The best part? Zero calories! I loved this one and wore it for several days without any issues. It was breeze to apply and didn't need any special base or top coats; I just used my usual combo of Gelous and Seche Vite.


I've saved my favorite for last, Strawberry Jam. I don't like reds, but this one is exceptional! It is so squishy and juicy looking I wanted to lick it! I'm not kidding, I loved it that much! I wore two coats over Color Club Regatta Red, but I'm sure it could be built to opacity if you prefer not to wear a cream underneath.


I was curious what it'd do over blue, so I swatched my thumbnail over Milani's Dude Blue Neon and just look how different it looks! Still super squishy, but purple!


All of these polishes were easy to apply, no standing on one foot or tilting my head just right! Nope, what you see here is what came off the brush in one dip each time and painted on like normal. I love it when glitter polishes are this easy to use!
