SindiePOP! Lacquer:
Incorporated Monsters

So this was a long time coming.. When I received this polish from Jessica, I had a simple idea all planned out. I just needed the materials to get it done, and now I finally do. 
Incorporated Monsters by SindiePOP! Lacquer

Incorporated Monsters is a cute glitter topper inspired by Mike, Sully, and Boo from the movie Monsters Inc. (duh). It's a combination of medium periwinkle, lavender and lime green hexes and tiny pastel pink glitters throughout. This is definitely a glitter bomb topper. Each coat was packed with glitter. The following swatches were 1 coat of Incorporated Monsters over OPI Who the Shrek Are You? As for the idea I had.. I thought it would be cute to make an accent nail inspired by Sully using flocking powder. I thought it turned out pretty cute, considering this was my first attempt at using flocking powder:
The formula of this polish was great. Each coat was a glitter heaven, and it was very easy to work with. You can purchase Incorporated Monsters at the SindiePOP! Lacquer shop (here). Check out the SindiePOP! Lacquer Facebook page and follow @sindiepoplacquer on IG for other swatches from this amazing line.

NOTE: This polish was sent to me for review. All thoughts and opinions are that of my own.

Day 4 of 31 Day Challenge:
Hit Polish "Lily Pad"

Today, I give you a glitter topper from one of my first indie brands: Hit Polish (previously D & R Apothecary):
Lily Pad by Hit Polish

Lily Pad is a glitter topper polish containing a variety of colors intended to mimic that of its name: lily pads. This polish contains ultra fine royal blue glitters, navy blue hexes, small and larger matte white hexes, pastel green hexes, and medium, holographic green glitters. This polish had everything I expected from a good glitter topper.  The glitters spread evenly with little fishing needed for the larger hex glitters. Also, I did not experience the curling that I would normally expect from the larger hexes. It dried somewhat bumpy due to the glitters, but this was easily smoothed out with a thick coat of Seche Vite top coat. 
I used:
Julep Base Coat
2 coats OPI Fly
1 coat Hit Polish Lily Pad
1 coat Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

You can purchase Lily Pad for a limited time at the Hit Polish Etsy shop. Also, you should definitely check out the Hit Polish Facebook page for discount codes and specials! Rachel loves sales and she usually announces them on the Hit Polish Facebook page so definitely check it out before making a purchase. Until tomorrow...
