Gorgeous hot pink! I've gotten 3 compliments in one day ALONE on this shade.
BCB Lacquers phero-moans
Barbie pink
Mooncat merkitten
Super glowy! The pictures don't do it justice. PS I did three coats of polish to achieve the color pictured
Pixy Polish bubblegum princess
The glow on this polish is INSANE! I couldn't stop staring at my nails
Plantasy Polish 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.
Funny Business can everyone see my screen?
Classic red
Lights Lacquer ace
Shimmery neutral perfect for the brown girlies like me. The photos from her website look much darker than they do on me. The pictures here are shown on my skin tone
Good Knight Lacquer chaotic neutral
Tools & basics
I love using this a basecoat to make sure my polish applies evenly and smoothly (ps it dries matte so you'll know when you can apply your polish color)
Fill Me In Ridge Filler Base Coat
The best top coat to get your nails looking extra glossy
Top coat
I love this top coat for nail swatches
Totally Gelly (topcoat)
Gentle but effective on keeping those claws sharp
Crystal nail file
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 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
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 got the passionfruit scent and OML IT SMELLS AMAZINGGGG! plus I love the rollerball option
Cuticle Snack (Cuticle Oil)
Perfect when you break just one nail and don't want to cut all of them
Supernail Swiss Silk Wrap Self-Adhesive Tabs 40
This + silk nail wraps to fix a broken nail
Kiss PowerFlex Ultra-Hold Brush-On Nail Glue
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 using these to remove my polish because the surface area is bigger compared to a cotton round or cotton ball
