Indie Extravaganza Volume 3

Today I have the very last Indie Extravaganza to share with you. Jacinta from Powder Perfect has been the brains behind the Extravaganza, organising for 15 Australian Indies to share their signature polish in three volumes. It's been a treat to swatch them all!

I was very surprised when I pulled the Lilypad Lacquer's Shining Bright out of the box. I just assumed it would be a holo but instead there is this unique orange flakie. Unfortunately I didn't catch it on my camera but it has a pinkish sheen to it as well as flakies and a golden pink shimmer. I am wearing three thin coats and still have a little visible nail line, it's only a problem if you're like me and don't like it. Next time I will pop an orange polish under. Now my camera loves/hates red/orange colours and really amps up the saturation. This polish is most like the last photo below.

Sayuri have created a polish that is all kinds of wonderful. Show Pony is a magenta crelly with matte pink and micro pink and purple glitter. The formula is wonderful and I am wearing three thin coats, this would be my favourite in the box if it wasn't pink :).

Celestial Cosmetics made Cosmic Dust a pretty deep blue almost denim in colour. Again my camera got carried away in the sun, the colour is most like the bottom photo. I am wearing no base coat or top coat and the formula applied easily in three thin coats.

I was super excited to see a teal polish in the box and Glass Crush from Arcane Lacquer does not disappoint. It's a teal crelly with tiny violet and blue square glitter, silver hexes and micro glitter in red, violet, turquoise and black. The application was simple and the formula wonderful to work with. I am wearing two thin coats.

Lastly is Jacinta's own addition to this collection Ringmaster. It's a beautiful microglitter with a blurple base, one minute I think it's blue the next purple so it's a perfect blurple. All the microglitters are bright colours and there are some super holographic ones in there to add a wonderful sparkle. It applies perfectly in two coats.

This feels like the perfect polish to finish on, if you haven't bought these volumes yet don't hesitate as once they're gone they're gone. Find them at Powder Perfect.

The first I have to share today is Majestic from Glam Polish. I'm not surprised to see a gorgeous deep purple from Glam Polish as I know Rachel loves purple. Majestic is a regal purple that shifts light beautifully with the glass flecks. I found the actual colour shift stronger in the bottle than on the nail but this is my favourite from this volume and is simply stunning how it is. Application was super easy and I am wearing two coats.

Majestic has rich eggplant base with shimmering glass flecks that shift from red/purple/gold/green & a hint of microglitter.

Our second brand is Moonstone Nail Polish who bring us Night Owl, a super vibrant bright blue crelly almost jelly glitter polish. I love the colour of Night Owl and the glitters compliment the base colour perfectly. The finish is squishy and gorgeous and it was opaque enough to only need two coats. The scent was a nice touch and definitely not too over powering.

Night Owl is a cobalt blue jelly with blue, pink and iridescent hex, holographic dust, lilac dots, and a subtle purple shimmer. It's also wildflower scented!

The next brand in this volume is Smudged with Scarlett a deep rich red jelly glitter bomb. I love that there is a touch of vampy red but the jelly is still transparent enough to let the glitter shine through. I needed no base colour with this polish and applied it easily in two dabbed coats. I love the glass squishy jelly finish and the depth created in the glitters of this polish.

Scarlett is a rich blood red jelly filled with both holographic and matte red, silver, and gold glitters. Delicious!

The fourth brand for Volume One is Bella Bella Nail Couture with #bellabelle. Silver and pink are the creator Victoria's favourite things and they shine through in this signature polish. It has a holo effect and the dusty pink is the perfect colour to showcase the silver. It's delicate and feminine without being over the top and I love that in a polish. The first coat was sheer but it built to opacity in three coats.

#bellabelle is a delicate pink holographic polish with silver dust throughout. The holographic effect is best seen under lights or sun. 

Last but not least our fifth brand is Glittering Elements with Butterfly Garden. It's green so you already know I'm a fan :). The green is gorgeous and is darker and dustier than a mint green, I'd probably call it a light sage green or a pastel sage green if I can invent a name for a colour :).  This beauty has a creme base with holo throughout and tiny glass flecks that reflect light. This was also sheer in the first coat but built nicely in three thin coats.

Butterfly Garden is a soft green creme polish with a subtle holographic shimmer and various micro glass flecks. It reminds me of pretty butterflies landing on stems of grass covered in morning dew with the warm sun shining down.

I hope you've enjoyed this first volume don't forget to get yours on Friday from Powder Perfect
