Crème à la Mode Box Winter 2015

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  Today I have the Winter Crème à la Mode box to show you.  The box is released quarterly and includes four creme polishes from the indie brands Digital Nails, Literary Lacquers, Indigo Bananas, and Octopus Party Nail Lacquer.

Indigo Bananas Scarlet Night.  This is a deep, kind of a brick red color.  It has a slightly sheer formula giving more of a jelly/creme look.  It does go on sheer, but eventually builds up and has an easy formula.

This is 4 coats.

Digital Nails Arboreal.  This is such a pretty aqua.  I love how it's darker than your average aqua polish!  The formula on this is perfect!

This is 2 coats.

Literary Lacquers Breathing Dreams Like Air.  This is a dusty grayed purple creme.  This one is on the thick side and I had a bit of a hard time with the formula.  I seem to be the only one, so maybe it was just user error.

This is 2 coats.

Octopus Party Nail Lacquer Malibu Stacy's Mom.  This is a beautiful bright nearly neon barbie pink.  And I love it because it's so squishy.  No formula complaints about this one!

This is 3 coats.

This fall's box is available for pre-order from November 15th - November 21st from CremealaMode.bigcartel.com and retails for $26 USD.  And if you happen to miss the box, each polish will eventually come to each individual makers shop!

Crème à la Mode Indie Box Fall 2015

Hi everyone!  Today I have a new indie box to show you: Crème à la Mode.  This box will be released quarterly and will include four cremes from Digital Nails, Indigo Bananas, Literary Lacquers, and Octopus Party Lacquer.

Let's take a look!

Indigo Bananas Spring 2015

Press Sample

Hi everyone! Today I have a few polishes from Indigo Banana's Spring 2015 collection to show you.  I ordered one not too long ago and Andrea was nice enough to add in 2 extras for me to try!  All of these pretty much have the same application.  They start off sheer but are opaque in about 3 coats.  They dry smooth but look slightly rough, so don't forget your top coat!

First is Little Fluffy Clouds.  It's a pastel blue/periwinkle color with ultra chrome glass flecks that shift from purpley pink to gold and holo micro glitters .  It actually matches the walls in my bedroom (sans shimmer and holo, but how awesome would that be?).

This is 3 coats.

Saffron Revolution is a peachy pink with ultra chrome glass flecks that shift from blue to purple and micro holo glitter.

This is 3 coats.

Last is my favorite, The Land of the Green Ginger.  It's a jade green with ultra chrome glass fleck that's a green/gold color and holo micro glitters.

This is 3 coats.

All of these are so pretty and I love the glass fleck!  These are currently available at the Indigo Bananas shop and they've also released some neons that I've heard nothing but great things about.  That will definitely be my next Indigo Bananas buy.

Indigo Bananas Holo Chrome Flakies

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  Today I have some fabulous-ness from Indigo Bananas.  These are not just chrome flakies that everyone has been obsessing over, but there's added holo too!  I reviewed one about a month ago and I just had to have Accretian Disk (holo).  In my order Andrea kindly shipped over the two new additions and I'm (still) obsessed!

This post will be heavy on the pictures, so read on after the jump!

Indigo Bananas Swatches and Review

Press Sample

I'm so excited about this post, I don't know what to do with myself.  Indigo Bananas.  I've obviously been living under a rock because these are my first polishes from this indie brand and they definitely wont be my last.  It took me forever to get this post together because every time I went to swatch I had to wear them for a full mani.  Let me stop gushing and get to the pictures.

First up is Bridal Veil.  Silver micro metallic flakies and holo glitter.  What more could a girl ask for?  This is 2 coats.

Next is Abby Normal.  This one is a pink the shifts orange and lots of purple shimmer and holo glitter.  It also dries with a textured finish and to add to it's awesomeness, it glows in the dark! This is 2 coats.

Taffeta, Darling? is the lavender version of Bridal Veil and I love it just as much!  It's delicate and in your face all at the same time.  This is 2 coats.

And the last, but most definitely not least is Galactic Halo (Holo) ... the holo version!  I was speechless putting this polish on.  I didn't want to take it off!  Anything you could want, it has.  Holo? Check.  Duochrome? Check.  Metallic Flakies? Check.  This polish is absolutely stunning and there is absolutely nothing like it in my collection at all!  Can you tell I'm in love?  This is 2 coats.

Every single one of these polishes are amazing and the formulas on them are great too!  These and others can be purchased from IndigoBananas.com.  Make sure to also check the Facebook page for more info and up coming collections!
