Press Sample

Hi everyone!  Today I have another installment of Indies Outside the Box to show you!  Indies Outside the Box is a quarterly box started by the creators of Lollipop Lacquer and Top Shelf Lacquer.  The box consists of 4 polishes, one from Lollipop Posse Lacquer, one from Top Shelf Lacquer, and the last 2 from guest brands.  Each polish will be a custom inspired by photos chosen and voted on by fans in the Indies Outside the Box fan group.  The guest brands for this box are Girly Bits and Paint Box Polish.

This box will be available for pre-order starting Friday, January 13th at 5pm EST through Sunday January 22nd at 11:59pm EST from lollipopposselacquer.bigcartel.com.

Let's take a look!


IOTB Indies Outside the Box

Lollipop Posse Lacquer Every Leaf Speaks Bliss to Me.



This has a crelly avocado green base filled with holo flakes, gold flakes, and a pinkish purple shimmer.  Because of it's squishiness it does show some visible nail line.  The formula is easy to work with and apply.

This is 3 coats.

Top Shelf Lacquer Glittertini.



This is a super blingy polish!  It has microglitter in gold, bronze, purple, and turquoise plus holo micro glitter all in a clear base.  It's definitely a party in a bottle.  The formula was easy to work with, lots of micro glitter suffers from being too thick, but that was not the case here.  Like most glitters, this does dry to a slightly textured finish, so make sure to use a thick coat or 2 of top coat for a smooth finish.

This is 3 coats.

Girly Bits Freeze Frame.



This is a violet holo with metallic blue flakes, a scattering of holo micro glitter, and pink shimmer.  This polish looks like purple sand to me.  It's not textured at all but the holo gives it a really pretty grainy look.  This applied really smooth and dried pretty fast.

This is 2 coats.

Paint Box Polish Takes One to Snow One.



This is a bright turquoise creme with charcoal grey flakes and a hint of pink shimmer.  I love the gray flakes in this.  It gives it a robin's egg look.  No formula complaints.

This is 2 coats.
