Would you believe there's a polishaholic who owns more than 220 bottles too few, but had never bought a single indie polish because she felt O.P.I., China Glaze and Zoya were the Emperor, Viceroy and Governor of the Nail Polish Empire?
I decided to correct the situation and had seen some of Danielle of Kalamity Jane Kosmetics' posts of indie polishes, particularly Candy Corn, and decided to try the same source, Carpe Noctem Cosmetics.
I saw their Etsy shop and shot off an email and Emily, the owner, told me she would be too glad to send abroad. I went through her amazing stash and was "gum-swizzled" by some of those, particularly The Blob and The 90s.
I usually buy minis from a site the first time and am working on reducing my full-size purchases since I'm worried they'll gloop up in three years' time, but I picked regular-sized bottles for The Blob and The 90s since they were so pretty.
Shipment was very fast and she had wrapped them up in glitter wrapping paper and used colourful yarn. I received the polishes in fewer than 10 days after she had shipped them. I opened the package on my bed and spent half the night picking glitter off my sheets. She had included a mini-buffer as well. The polishes I bought are:
This was such a hassle-free transaction that I've become a bit of an Etsy-addict. And the glitter is just wow. One more stunning than the other. Thanks very much, Emily! And thanks to Danielle for the reference! I'm looking forward to more orders on Etsy soon!
