Indie January: Hare Polish Bury The Hatchetfish

It's Day 14 of Indie January, and I hope you're all having a good start to your week!  Today's polish is yet another brand I'd never before tried, Hare Polish.  Bury The Hatchetfish is from the Fall 2012 Illuminated Life Collection, and is a light taupe jelly base with iridescent blue glass flecks and hexes. 


Here is two coats of Bury The Hatchetfish over one coat of Essie Merino Cool.  It can reach opacity by itself in three coats, but since it's kind of goopy, three coats got quite thick on the nail.  It also dries bumpy because the base sinks as it dries, so this is with three coats of Seche Vite.  


My camera doesn't like iridescent polishes, but I certainly do!  The jelly base of Bury The Hatchetfish matched perfectly with Merino Cool, and I always love those grey/purple/taupe/mauve colours, whatever you call them, haha! :P  This polish really glowed; it's such a unique combination and it works so well!


The Hare Polish Etsy shop isn't currently stocked, but they're available through Llarowe!  Follow the blog, and like the Facebook page for updates!    

Have you been able to get your hands on any Hare Polishes?  What do you think of this polish?  Do you like the unusual combination of taupe and iridescent glitters?  :)

Glequined Nite Owl

First off I'd like to mention that I forgot to include in my last post about WingDustCollections that Stephanie has generously offered a coupon code for my readers to get 15% off their order at her Etsy shop with the code GLOBE15.  You can visit her shop here.  :)

On to today's mani!  This is my second time playing with the glequins I got from the Born Pretty Store; you can see my Glequin Ruffian here.  This time I used the holographic glequins to make a pyramid at the base of my nails, and I really like the effect.  Take a look :)


Orly Nite Owl is a flattering taupe with silver glass-fleck-ish-shimmer.  I know, I'm really good at describing polishes :) Haha


This is two perfect coats of Nite Owl, with two coats of Seche Vite to seal in the glequins.  Nite Owl is a tad more brown than my pictures show.



You can use the code PPJ61 (shown below) to get 7% off at the Born Pretty Store.  What do you think of this mani?  Do you like using glequins as a way to spice up an ordinary polish job? 





Kudos to you if you spotted my awful photoshop job.  Didn't notice it was gone until I was editing the pictures. Oops.
