Updated stash pics!

I have been a bad blogger.

String of excuses: work has been very busy, wedding planning has been a pain in the neck, I've been having problems with my camera or lens, my cuticles are in no shape for macro photography, so on and so on.

As a peace offering, I thought I would post my latest stash pictures. I plan on doing a spring cleaning of my stash over the next month, and hopefully downsize a bit!

If you are interested in my plan of attack for purging, my last stash post had my "purge policy" written out in excruciating detail (lol). You can see that post here.

And here we go!

Indie: Polish Revolution Spring 2013 swatches

Disclaimer: The following polishes were provided to me for swatching/review purposes.

Check out the spring polishes from Polish Revolution :D

Where to buy: Polish Revolution @ Etsy

Bottle pics



Eleganza (2 coats) - Beautiful formula and unexpected mix of glitters! The flash made my VNL (on my ring and pinky fingers) look more apparent than it is IRL. You could add a third coat, but I really think 2 is perfect :D




Florals... for Spring? (2 coats) - Another beautifully formulated polish. A third coat might have photographed better here, but it looked perfect IRL! *shakes fist at flash*




Glitterbox (2 coats) over Nails Inc Baker St - Really fun topcoat with lots of shimmer and various types of square glitter. If you love square glitter, you're going to need this! :)




Grin and Bare It (3 coats) - You could wear this at 2 coats, but I went with three here. I love the blue iridescent disco glitter :9 This is a really cool "nude" polish with a kick of glitter.




Summer State of Mind (2 coats) - I went back to 2 coats, but should have used 3 for pics because it's a jelly base. The blue hexes are actually holo glitters, and there's a ton of fuchsia shimmer in here!




Zombie Gardens (2 coats) - Lauryn really knows how to make a zombie polish :D




Florals for Spring is my favourite from this collection, but I also really dig Grin and Bare It :)

♥♥♥

I just have 1 more indie post to make before I'm caught up! Took me long enough, right? Like I said before, I have almost all the Color Club Halo Hues left to try and swatch, plus I plan on ordering a few of the new Spring polishes from HARE :D
