Hare Polish Cotton Candy Crush

Three coats

Dusky purple jelly base with pale pink and blue glitter and gold micro-flakes and shimmer.

Oh my, I definitely feel head over heals for this one. While the Crows and Elevation polishes are darker, this Hare is a lighter and more airy polish, calling on it's cotton candy inspiration. It's like a frothy confection on my nails! It is on the thinner side, so at least three coats is best when applying.

Crows Toes Even Sugar Melts in the Devils Mouth

Three coats

Black jelly base with pearl white micro-flakes and red shimmer

This is one deliciously gorgeous polish. I love how much the red shimmer and pearl white flakes contrast against the deep and dark black base. Formula wise, no problem with application though you will need a few coats to reach full opacity. And that name, it invokes the dark humor that we love and have come to expect from Crows Toes.

Elevation Polish Rose Cardamom Chocolate Truffles from Febuary's A Box, Indied: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Happy Friday! I have a new polish from Elevation Polish to share with you all this afternoon. This brown beauty is going to be a part of February's A Box, Indied monthly subscription box. The theme for Febuary is a A Box, Candied and will include other candy-themed polishes from Hare Polish, Crows Toes, Serum No. 5, and Black Cat Lacquer. As with previous months, the box will be available only through Llarowe on January 26th, you can follow their Facebook page for more info.

Elevation Polish Rose Cardamom Chocolate Truffles

Two coats

Dark chocolate brown creme with brown and pink micro-flakes, pink flash shimmer, and a touch of holo pigment.

Beautiful and rich looking polish and I love the name! It has such depth to it with that creamy brown base and the flakes and shimmer and holo pigment. Brown never looked so good. Application wise, it has that great creme formula Elevation is known for and it is a very opaque polish, you could get away with one coat though I prefer to apply two to get a nice cuticle line.

Indigo Bananas Accretion Disk & Galactic Halo: Swatches and Review

Purchased by Me

Hello! Time for more flakie goodness, this time from Indigo Bananas. I picked these up a mid-November and they have been sitting on my computer, just waiting to be shared. The two here are also available in holographic versions but I wanted to get the non-holo ones. They are easily build-able, no layering needed, with two to three coats and have a very dramatic color shift.

Indigo Bananas Accretion Disk

Three coats

Copper to gold to green chrome flake in a clear base

I feel like the green is the more dominant color but I love the flashes of copper and glints of pink.
