Anchor & Heart Iron Anchor Strengthening Base & Nail Treatment in Blackberry Magnolia scent. This is one of my favorite indie bases - it dries quickly and the scents are nice!
Price: $7.50 / no cap
Anchor & Heart Lacquer Shake It, Nudibranch is inspired by the toxic and flamboyant Spanish Shawl Nudibranch. It is a purple-based blue-red-gold multichrome shimmer with red-to-green multichrome iridescent flakes. I wore it in four thin coats, but two or three will cover. This has mega shift and a nice, fast-drying formula.
Price: $13 / no cap
Grace-full Nail Polish Floral Dreams is inspired by a wedding bouquet. It is an orchid (warm) - berry red (medium) - dark burgundy (cool) trithermal with red-to-green multichrome iridescent flakes. I wore it in four thin coats for maximum flakies, but two or three will cover. Nice, fast drying formula. It dries matte but is shown here with top coat.
Price: $12.50 / 100 cap
Great Lakes Lacquer The Greatest Gift and Honor is inspired by the magnolia and the name is from Mulan. It is a pale petal pink with green/teal-pink-gold multichrome shimmer. I wore it in four thin coats, but two or three will cover. Nice, fast-drying formula.
Price: $13 / no cap
Lollipop Posse Lacquer has two items this month, a polish and a flakie holo topper inspired by Florence and the Machine's "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" and the cover art for Lungs.
Lollipop Posse Lacquer The Final Sacrifice is a deep blue green with strong red-gold-green multichrome shimmer and holo shimmer. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will cover.
Price: $13 / no cap.
Lollipop Posse Lacquer This Is a Gift features green-blue-purple iridescent multichrome flakes and holo microflakes. I show it here in four coats on its own and two thin coats over The Final Sacrifice. It has a good formula and dries quickly.
Price: $11 / no cap
Lollipop Posse Lacquer This Is a Gift over The Final Sacrifice
Nail Hoot Indie Lacquers Rockin Robin is a robin's egg blue with black square and hex glitters. It has a touch of pink-to-gold duochrome microflakes in the bottle, but it is pretty opaque so those hide on the nail. It has a fast-drying good formula and there is no problem getting glitters out. It needs top coat for shine and smoothness. It was inspired by the robin's egg.
Price: $9.49 / no cap
Peachtree Polish Lilacs In Bloom is inspired by the Georgia-born maker's first time seeing (and smelling) lilacs in Wisconsin! It is a lilac jelly with green-to-blue multichrome flakes and the tiniest green matte and holo microglitters. I wore it in four thin coats, but three covered - note the maker is increasing the opacity for the customer version, so it should be opaque in two coats. It had a great formula and the glitters lie pretty smooth.
Price: $11 / 75 cap

Price: $8 / 90 cap
Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Neon Rainbow was inspired by rainbow tulips. It has a greenish-white jelly base with green-to-pink duochrome shimmer, holo shimmer, and matte neon glitters in various sizes, colors and shapes. I wore it in four thin coats, but three will cover. This does benefit from putting the bottle upside down a bit before using for maximum glitter coverage. It needs top coat to smooth.
Price: $10.50 / 150 cap
