First up is Baubles, which is a mix of metallic/ holographic dots in blue, silver, pink, purple, red, black and green. This is just circle heaven, I knew I would buy this polish the second Danielle posted a picture on Facebook, it just makes me so happy! Now as you would expect, you do need to do a little placement due to the size of the glitters, but this is definitely a good thing in my opinion. You don't want them to bunch up too much, so it's much easier to get a good even coverage that way. It was super easy to get them onto the brush, they came off the brush easily, and laid flat without any encouragement.
This was 1 coat over a plain black cream, with a few placed here and there to fill in any little gaps. Danielle also has a polish called Oh Christmas Tree which is a mix of green shards and slices, and makes a fabulous base for this topper. They really do look like baubles hanging off of a tree. I will probably end up buying that one too, so may be able to show you a swatch in the future : )
The second polish I have to show you today is Snow is Falling, which is a chilly mix of white snowflakes, hexes, shards, and dots; winter white hexes and squares, and iridescent rainbow fine glitter. I've layered 1 coat here over w7 - Blue Mirror. I only had to fish for a snowflake once with this polish, the rest of them were already on the brush, and it was quite easy to spread the glitters out. I am quite fussy with glitter polish, I don't like it if they clump together, but the formula on this was very forgiving, and gave me no bother while I shuffled the larger bits around where I wanted them : )
I really like this polish, the snowflakes are just so cute, and the little holographic glitters really twinkle in the light, making it look really icy. I think the base I used for this polish was a great choice too, it compliments the icy look so well!
Overall, I'm really impressed with the whole Christmas Collection from Indy's Indies, and I had a really hard time limiting myself to only 4 when I ordered these. If you haven't already, I strongly advise you to have a look at her Etsy shop, just make sure you leave me a back-up bottle of Baubles : P
What do you guys think of these winter beauty's then?
