Indy's Indies - Dragon Dance

*Some products in this post were discounted in exchange for review.
Hi guys, today I have the second of 3 Chinese New Year polishes from Indy's Indies to show you.  This is dragon dance, which is a plethora of green glitters, matte and holo red dots and squares, yellow gold hexes and squares, with metallic purple squares.  This is one slightly thicker coat over Sinful Colors Black on Black.



The formula on this was fairly easy to work with.  I did a little bit of dabbing, and fished for a few dots, but that was it.  I really like this polish, the little purple squares especially, and it was very sparkly in real life.  There was a lot more holo to this than my pictures are showing.
I decided to get a macro of my index finger as that had the thickest coat of glitter, so please forgive the missing corner on the left - I couldn't bring myself to file it down any lower than this :)
This polish, and the other 2 from this collection, are all available at Indy's Indies on Etsy here, in full size or mini bottles; separately, or as a trio for a little bit less.

Indy's Indies - Red Envelope

*Some products in this post were discounted in exchange for review.
Hi guys, today I have the first of 3 new polishes from Indy's Indies celebrating Chinese New Year.  This beauty is Red Envelope, which is a mix of red and gold (some holo) hexes, gold holo circles and larger red holo circles.  This is 1 coat over Rimmel 60 Seconds - Camouflage.



I did do a little fishing to get the red dots and 2 more gold circles out, but there are plenty in the bottle so it wasn't hard to snag a few.  Overall, the application was fairly easy for a glitter-packed polish such as this. I really like the undies I picked in the end, there's quite a CNY feel to this mani in my humble opinion.
This has a lot more holo in real life than my photos would suggest, I am having a bit of an issue with my daylight bulb washing out holographic things.  So now my pictures are colour accurate, but no holo accurate - SMH!  It is insanely bright though, so I may try a less powerful one and see if that helps.  If anyone has any advice, please leave it in the comments, I'll love you forever!
This polish, and the other 2 that I will be showing you in the next few days, are all available at Indy's Indies on Etsy here, in full size or mini bottles; separately, or as a trio for a little bit less.
