Indie January: ILNP Fully Turqued

Can I get an unenthusiastic hooray for Monday??  It's Day 21 of Indie January, and today I've got one more glitter topper from I <3 Nail Polish to show you, Fully Turqued.  You can see my two previous posts on I<3NP here:  All Gold Everything, and Once Upon A Starry Night.  


Fully Turqued is a clear base packed with black and white matte bars and hexes, and turquoise squares.  I used one dabbed coat over Orly Decoded, with two coats of Seche Vite.  (Eww, the bad bubbles are the fault of my SV with this one!)  The formula was what I've come to expect from chunkier glitter toppers, it needed a little pushing around and fiddling to get an even spread, but not too much trouble.  


I really like how all the nails are unique, but they still have a very uniform look overall.  The different glitters in this blend well together.  I love how the shapes of the black and white glitters are all the same, while the turquoise glitters are also all the same shape; I think it really helps define the different glitters. Does that make any sense? Haha!  I'm wearing this polish right now, and when I'm holding this at arm's length, it looks almost like a splatter mani!  


I<3NP is currently available through Etsy, and like the Facebook page for updates! 

You may have noticed that my nails are a bit shorter... I was in a bad mood last night, and I started filing and just kept going... I guess it's somewhat of a stress reliever, haha!  I really like them this length though, it's not a huge change but it's nice!  

Overall, this is a really cute and fun glitter topper that I think would look good over a lot of different polishes!  What do you think?  Any layering combinations you'd like to see?  :)

    I love this a lot. I've had my eye on I<3NP for awhile now, and I think that they will be the next indie brand I try, because I always read such great reviews about them. I'm a sucker for the black & white glitters, but that turquoise really makes it unique.
