July A Box, Indied Review and Swatches

Greetings and Nailutations,

July's A Box, Indied from Llarowe (an online stockist) is again a little late this month (sorry!).   I still have swatches below and my thoughts on it.  Next month's should be at the start of the month.  This month's box is "A Fair To Remember".

Now let's get to some swatches!

First up is Freaks At The Fair from Jindie Nails.  Freaks At The Fair is a teal glitter crelly containing silver, gold and white squares, white, silver, orange and red and teal circles in a few sizes, teal, and white and silver hexes in a few sizes.  Formula was easy to work with and the photo below shows 2 coats with shiny top coat.


Deep Fried Everything from Black Cat Lacquer is next in the box.  It is a white jelly with multicolored hex glitter (neon pink, green, neon green, neon blue, red) and white triangles.  The white jelly base also contained some holo micro glitters that picked up the light beautifully.  The triangles didn't really pop because they were white.  Photo below shows 2 coats over a white undie with shiny top coat.


One of my favorites is Bright Lights, Small City from Contrary Polish.  Bright Lights, Small City is a navy blue creme with purple and gold micro glitter to give it an extra shimmer.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat (1st and 2nd photo) and matte top coat (3rd photo) with Owl Charm.




Next is Elevation Polish's Atop A Ferris Wheel.  Atop A Ferris Wheel is a soft lavender creme with iredescent micro flakes.  Perfect formula and applied easily - this was my first Elevation Polish.  Photo shows 2 coats with shiny top coat.


Lastly, and one of my favorites of this month is a glitter topper from Dollish Polish called This Ring Toss Is RIGGED!  The glitter topper contains red, white, yellow and turquoise glitter in the shapes of hexes, squares, circles and donuts.  Photo shows 2 coats dabbed on over navy blue (Jenna Hipp I Cast A Spell On Blue) topped with shiny top coat.  No glitter fishing was needed.



Shiny Top Coat: Gem Glam Top Coat from www.dreampolish.com
Owl Charm: www.charminglysimple.storenvy.com
Owl Necklace: www.bornprettystore.com and don't forget to use code DGJ61 for 10% off your order

Loves: My favorites of the box are Bright Lights, Small city from Contrary Polish and This Ring Toss is RIGGED!  Both are fun and creative and original.  This month all polishes applied easily as well.

Wishes:  I wish the white triangles in Deep Fried Everything were a different color so they popped more in the polish, but overall this month had a good box of polish!

Which is your favorite?

Happy Polishing,
Kristi aka @BeginNails
