Gorgeous hot pink

Super glowy! The pictures don't do it justice. PS I did three coats of polish to achieve the color pictured
Bubblegum Princess
The glow on this polish is INSANE! I couldn't stop staring at my nails
Shangri-LA
The name of the polish 100% made me giggle and reminded me of Zoom university (ikyk). It's super glowy and absolutely stunning especially in direct sunlight.

Tools & basics
The best top coat to get your nails looking extra glossy
Top coat
Gentle but effective on keeping those claws sharp
Crystal nail file
I know this isn't from an indie brand, but I highly suggest getting these if you have a large nail polish collection
Nail swatch sticks
I love how the glass file is small enough to fit in a purse and comes in its own protective case. Just because it's small, doesn't mean it's not effective !
Glass Nail File (mini)
I love this cream especially in the winter when my hands get drier and tend to crack
O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream Unscented
I love this top coat for nail swatches
Totally Gelly (topcoat)
The OG version is sold out, but this is the only nail polish remover I use! It doesn't smell (unlike the commercial brands ikyk) and leaves my nails feeling hydrated
Nail polish remover
I love using these to remove my polish because the surface area is bigger compared to a cotton round or cotton ball
Quilted Cotton Squares
i got the passionfruit scent and OML IT SMELLS AMAZINGGGG! plus i love the rollerball option
